“Be at peace. I don't need you carrying guns or doing anything illegal” Aiden informed with amusement,Clinton narrowed his eyes at him in confusion, tilting his head he leaned forward,“W-what do you w-want from me?” Clinton gulped “W-what do you want me to do?” Clinton asked, his voice a little low,“You’ll provide me with cover for my operations, you'll be my inside eyes and informant, protecting my people and my interests,” Aiden said in a finality tone, he watched Clinton keenly as he nodded absently, smirking he added,“Heck, I'll even throw in a sweet deal for you." Clinton's brows arched and Aiden leaned forward, his eyes glinting,"To set things rolling, I'll throw in two of my men who were involved in the mayhem; we'll call them scapegoats. They and their families will be settled, while you'll also be settled, not only that, but you get to prove yourself to your superiors, earn accolades, and savor victory”Smiling, Aiden crossed his arms, raising his eyebrows at Clinton wit

The next day, Harold, Andrew, and Cassandra organized a press conference, making sure to have all the news and media outlets available, Elizabeth Clive, Taylor, and a host of other journalists and news anchors were present. They had made sure to gather every media personnel to announce Andrew Morris as the new mayor and Clinton Rogers as his deputy, The whole place was buzzing with the media and citizens of Dalton City as they held the conference right in front of the mayoral house. Harold, with his shoulders back, walking with wide steps, stepped, towards the podium that was lined with different microphones from different media houses. He was sporting a huge smile while Andrew and Clinton flanked beside his right and left, respectively, although they stood a few feet behind where he stood. Tapping the microphone while smiling, he cleared his throat and spread his arms broadly, “Ladies and gentlemen of the press and our great citizens. Thank you for joining us here today.” Everyo

That same day, back at Richard's holding cell, while the press conference had been ongoing, he was relaxed in his cell, casually watching it with eagle's eyes and a small smile on his face; he shook his head sadly at the fickleness of men.Vivienne who had heard of the meeting at the last minute and couldn't be there live, hurriedly made her way to Richard's cell, her face glistening with sweat. She immediately paused in her steps, her heart skipping a beat as she found Richard casually lying on his bed, watching the news with an impassive expression,‘Why does he look unbothered? What kind of person is he?’ she wondered to herself, before exhaling gently, rubbing her palms over her crisp skirt, and then knocked on the door,“Mayor Sir" she bowed slightly, and at Richard's nod, she walked into the cell,“I see you have seen the new development" Richard nodded as he smiled at her, sitting upright he turned to look at her, indicating at her to sit on one of the empty seats,“Yes, I hav

"C-Clinton? The newly announced deputy mayor?”Richard nodded again,“Why do you think he's involved though? He's never been in the frontier of government”"That's exactly one reason, a thirst for power. Besides, Clinton isn't that smart enough to solve that level of crime by himself and at that quick rate”Vivienne exhaled and ran her hand through her hair as she paced. Richard's absence was beginning to cause a lot of complications and raise situations she wasn't sure she could handle. Her mind was racing and reeling; she and others had raised eyebrows at Clinton's sudden promotion, but she could never have placed him and Aiden together or that Aiden would dare rear his ugly crimes anymore. Her shoulders sagged as she sighed before she raised her chest,“I’ll get on it right away Richard. I'm also working to make sure you're out of here soon”Richard's expression immediately turned dark as he narrowed his eyes and replied gravely,“I'm not sure that's necessary. I don't think I'm re

A few days later, Clinton was still in his celebratory mood of being the new Deputy Mayor when he received a message from Aiden, [Meet me at the Boil Point Hotel Car Park in twenty minutes] As he read the message, his eyebrows furrowed, but Clinton didn't have any choice, so grudgingly, he headed to the location. He met Aiden in the car park, seated in his G-wagon, Aiden was all smiles and pleasant as he received him, “The new Deputy Mayor. Welcome, it's good to see you, the title does fit you" Aiden greeted him cheerfully, and Clinton couldn't help the pink tinges that crept on his cheeks. Aiden was surprisingly warm and welcoming, thanking him for his loyalty as he also promised him a bright future, “Clinton my man. You've done well; you ought to be proud," he said haughtily as he winked at Clinton. Clearing his throat, Aiden reached to the back seat of his car and placed the file on his lap, looking over at Clinton, his smiling face had suddenly turned serious, “No

That same day, Andrew was resting in his hotel room, sipping on a glass of fine red wine as he stood by the window overlooking the city with a smug smile on his face,This was the life he dreamt of, and he was currently living it, he felt on top of the world, like a king. Richard was sitting pretty in jail, and they were still gathering evidence against him. He was now in control and had the power and influence to do whatever he wanted to do, yet he wanted more,Andrew smiled smugly, his eyes glistening as he imagined how Richard was languishing in prison while he was here enjoying all the privileges that came with his vacant position, and he was definitely milking it to his satisfaction,“Cheers to you Richard Day, enjoy your new home, while I enjoy my new life" Andrew said, lifting his glass to the sky with a smile before returning it to his lips. While they had been raising funds for the women at Avalon Heights, he had managed to siphon some money for himself.Just as he was about

Harold looked her over with a sneer on his face before replying haughtily,"If you must know, we're headed to Richard's house to conduct a search. We currently have a lead that we intend to follow”Vivienne's eyes widened at the revelation, and she was almost taken aback. With her eyes still rounded, her eyes darted at each of them individually, Cassandra good-naturedly sneered and hissed at her, curling her lips before returning her gaze to her nails,Andrew and Clinton didn't care much about her opinion, and so they equally gazed at her with raised eyebrows. Mr Jackson was the only one who avoided gazes with her and Vivienne shook her head at their misplaced gumption. This was getting really old, and she was beginning to be sick of it,Folding her arms to her chest, she jutted her chin to Harold as she raised her brow at him,“That's alright. But I'd like to know, do you have a court order for this search?" Harold immediately lowered his eyes, his face going a little pale, stutteri

As Cassandra bent to retrieve the key, Harold and Andrew rushed over to look at the key,“What is it?" “Let me see" Both of them spoke simultaneously. Twirling the key in her hand, Cassandra brandished it to Vivienne with a smirk,“Now tell me, why would someone go to such great lengths to hide a key if they don't have something to hide?" She asked, tilting her neck to the side as she watched Vivienne who smiled in response,“Someone who doesn't want vipers like you prying into his private life maybe?" Vivienne threw back at Cassandra, who sneered and returned her attention to the key in hand,“How do we find what this key opens now?" Harold questioned, his brows furrowing as he stared intently at the key.Chuckling a little with a small smile on her face, Cassandra was deep in thought, before she shrugged and answered,“It must be the key to a safe or something like that.”Andrew who couldn't bear the suspense anymore, his eyes lit up and he spoke in an authoritative voice as he

"Huh?"Mia froze hearing this, believing her ears. Though she knew Andrew wouldn't lie to her, she was also a bit skeptical about what he had just said."It sounds funny huh?" Andrew chuckled, seeing the shock on Mia's face."Yes sir," Mia nodded, still not wanting to believe what Andrew had said."Well, I was also shocked when it happened yesterday, but I had no other choice but to accept the truth," Andrew shook his head getting into the car."Yesterday was a long night, and I even went to confront him, and he didn't deny it," Andrew continued with a sigh, sadness written all over her face.Hearing this, Mia's face became twisted as she clenched her fist feeling rather annoyed.Andrew was here, trying to use all of his brain to solve the problem in the city, but Richard was busy creating problems for him.What kind of ex-mayor was he? Seemed like she would have to go and find him. This was getting out of the line."You don't need to get upset by all of these, I'll definitely find a

"Fuck, this is over!"Andrew cursed angrily, throwing away his phone, crashing it onto the ground, and shattering it into pieces.Just as expected, Richard won the case quite effortlessly. Now, all the reputation he struggled to build had scattered.The public was hurling a lot of insults at him. Though most of them were still directed at Cassandra, he still took some of them, and this made him really uncomfortable.Why in hell were they going to involve him in something he didn't know about? But he was pretty helpless and could only curse angrily.Staring at the broken phone, Andrew felt his anger dissipate a bit. Then he crashed on the sofa, closing his eyes."Ring!"The landline in the office rang at the moment, pulling Andrew out of his thoughts.Standing up, he stomped angrily towards the landline, intending to insult the hell out of whoever was at the other end.Why in the heavens would they call him at a time like this? Didn't they know he was annoyed?"Andrew!" Harlod's old vo

"Where are you headed?" Alice stared at Richard who was preparing to go out."I'm heading to the court, would you be willing to come along?" Richard answered, extending an invitation to Alice who hurriedly shook her head."There's nothing I need to go and see in court; you can just go and solve the issue yourself; there's no need for you to involve me," Alice rejected Richard's invitation.The safest place she could and would be was this place. In this place, Richard was the leader and he didn't seem to want to hurt her.This was such a safe haven, why would she want to leave? She would be a fool if she ever thought of leaving.She might even scold herself if she thought about it. What the heck was that?"You don't need to be scared; I just want you to witness how I'll deal with your mayor," Richard laughed, sitting back on the couch."Do you think Cassandra would come to Court?" Alice stared at Richard and inquired.She also knew what was happening. Also, Richard told her everything

"Does that mean there's nothing else we can do?" Andrew inquired sceptically, his heart pounding against his chest while he prayed that was not the answer."Yes, there's nothing else you can do. We can only receive this blow from Richard and then look for a way to hit back even harder," Harlod's reply came from the other end of the phone.Andrew sighed not knowing what else to say. There was nothing he could say even if he wanted to say something.What could he possibly say at this point? He was already defeated by Richard."I'll call you when I think of something, but for now, we just have to take it as it is. Also, don't try to do anything, else it would just increase how hard the punch would hit," Harold warned, knowing Andrew might try to do something."Fine" Andrew gritted his teeth. Though he was not willing, he had no other choice but to listen to Harlod.Ending the call, he collapsed on the sofa not knowing what else to do. What would be his next line of action?Seemed like he

"At least you should let me explain, right? Then you can decide if what I've done is right or wrong," Richard sighed, knowing well Amanda would soon stay yelling again if he didn't try to pacify her."Then tell me, what damned reasons you have for doing what you did," Amanda scoffed, waiting for Richard's explanation."If I let Andrew cancel the court case, they would use another brutal method to attack and it would be harder to solve than this court case, so why would I let him cancel it," Richard explained.Though he didn't know what Andrew planned on doing, he knew he didn't have any good intentions; as such, he was not planning on relaxing.Since there was an easier way, there was no way he would let it slip past him.He had sworn to use whatever chances he had and this was his chance. He would be a fool if he missed it."What's the other reason?" Amanda's cold voice came from the other end. Though it seemed like she had calmed down a bit, Richard was still a little bit apprehensi

Taking a look at who the caller was, a smile spread across Richard's face, then he answered the call while still smiling lightly,"Amanda, you went to work pretty early today," Richard teased,"Why can't you say something good?" Amanda's scolding voice came from the other end of the phone, seemingly annoyed with Richard, but there was nothing she could do to him.That was the way he was. In fact, she would have already suspected something was wrong if he didn't make a joke, or if he didn't tease her."Why should I say something nice," Richard answered, his beam as radiant as the sun."Leave that aside," Amanda replied, her voice turning serious."Mia came to our office this morning saying she wants to cancel the case,""Really?" Richard's eyes lit up hearing this.He had already seen this coming. He was not just expecting his speculation to be true. Whoever was behind Andrew already knew there was no way Andrew would win the case."You don't have to worry about it. Just try to delay h

"Sir, I don't quite understand what you mean," Mia spoke slowly, staring at Andrew, hoping he was going to clarify it for her."I know you wouldn't," Andrew nodded slightly as if understanding that Mia wouldn't understand what he was about to say."What I mean to tell you is, what would you do if the judge happens to dismiss the case and tell you that your evidence is inclusive?" Andrew stared directly at Mia, his gaze reading, 'Don't be afraid, speak and I won't be annoyed'"Sir, I don't think that would happen," Mia Shook her head, seemingly convinced that such would never happen."Seems like you have a great trust in the judge and in human rights, huh?" Andrew chuckled, nodding slightly in approval.If it was not for Harold who pointed it out, they would be in a deep mess at the moment.He has to look for a way to convince Mia that he is doing this for her own good, or else things won't be as easy as it was supposed to be."Yes sir, I believe in him. And I'm sure that he wouldn't a

Picking up his phone, Richard dialled a number, after a few rings, the call was answered,"Hello, sir!" Franklyn's voice came from the other end of the phone just as though he had been waiting for Richard to call him."It's time to make a move, get your ass right away to the prison, I'll tell you what you are to do," Richard instructed,"Yes sir," Franklyn answered instantly then the call ended.Walking out of the room once again, Richard glanced at Alice, who was preparing to go to sleep; after thinking for a while, she stopped and then stared at her for a moment."Do you need anything from me?" Alice blinked, wondering why Richard was staring at her."No, I don't; it's just that I'll be having some visitors soon. So why don't you go into the room to get some rest if you are tired," Richard suggested, his voice low but soft."Alright...." Alice stuttered, managing to finish what she was about to say; her face also went red from embarrassment."Why do you look so embarrassed? It's not

"Here's your coffee," Richard soon walked out of the Kitchen placing a cup of coffee before Alice.Staring at the coffee before her, Alice shook her head, she didn't know what to say."What do you want me to tell you?" Alice stared at Richard wanting to know what Richard wanted."You don't have to worry about anything, I don't need you to tell me anything," Richard shook his head, sipping the coffee in his hands.Alice stared at Richard, not knowing what to say. What the heck was he thinking?He had been the one who had always wanted to know what she had to say or who she was.But now, he was telling her there was no need for that. What the heck was that?Who in heaven was going to believe such?"Just tell me sincerely what you want from me?" Alice was not satisfied and stared at Richard, wanting to know what he really wanted."Don't be persistent, even if I ask you, there's no way you would tell me," Richard shook his head."I'm on the verge of death, so why won't I tell you what you
