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

“Let's see!!" “Hurry! Show us, what have you found?" They each began asking as they hovered over the man who was deeply staring at the tablet with full concentration,After succeeding in breaking through the encrypted file, the hacker translated it and as the file began downloading on the screen, everyone stared at it with bated breath.

“You!!!" Cassandra snarled, glaring at Vivienne,“This is all your fault!" she thundered, throwing daggers at Vivienne,Vivienne who was taken aback by the outburst, snapped her head backward, pursing her lips, she glared at Cassandra and then at the others before meeting Cassandra's gaze once more, pointing at her chest,“Me?!" Vivienne asked, her words laced with contained anger as she stared at the spoilt brat,“How's it my fault? Was I the one who told you to make a live video or make a fool of yourself?!" She countered, keeping her face straight. Cassandra who was nothing but a spoilt lady used to getting her way, screeched and stormed her foot,“Argh!" She screeched, nostrils flaring as she stormed over to Vivienne with raised arm, causing Vivienne to narrow her eyes at her,“I'll think twice about doing that if I were you" she informed Cassandra, her tone on the edge as she gazed at her intently,Andrew and Harold who knew the consequences of hitting a police officer, not jus

I just don't get it, did you see the foolproof plan? If such is implemented, Dalton will be a city to be reckoned with, we will have people begging to partner with us”]["I can't believe that a good and upright man is behind bars, only because he wants to make us better. It truly is a wicked world”]The comments in praise of Richard and his plans kept trooping in,Harold and Andrew, who had been following the news, were seething in their seats; besides brooding in anger, they had made sure to pay other vicious bloggers and commenters to deflect and cause mischief on the internet.[“Because you all saw a document that was falsified, you now believe Richard Day is your savio

Her emails and social media accounts had been buzzing with messages and questions from people from all over, demanding to know what was happening and why a good man like Richard was still imprisoned.Pacing, while she absentmindedly chewed on her nails, Vivienne’s head and mind were reeling as she read the different blog posts that had been uploaded,[The Way Forward For Dalton; A City in Ruins][Being Upright; A Recipe For Disaster]The netizens and everyone in Dalton City had questions concerning the allegations that Jenkins and his colleagues had made, the city was divided as people didn't know who to believe, on one hand majority chose to believe Richard, while the others

Murmuring and gasps immediately filled the hall as everyone snapped their heads to look at the person who had spoken before gaping at him with widened eyes before returning their gazes to the four men on the stage, whose faces had gone so red, and were frozen on the spot, they had their chins down, unable to say anything,Vivienne smirked and tried to stoke the fire more; she glanced at the speaker and urged him to come forward.As he made his way forward, taking long strides with his shoulders held high, Bernard Cooper didn't fail to notice the hateful glare that the men threw at him, neither did he fail to hear the mumblings of those who were present,“Isn't that the deputy mayor that recently resigned?" “Yes! I'm sure that's why he spoke with such confidence and asked that question" “Of course! He must know more than he let on. He wouldn't dare say something like that if he didn't have proof or know what he's saying" The voices and murmurings trailed him as he trod towards the s

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

"You?" Richard's mouth curled up into a smile, staring at Alice, who seemed to be wary of him all of a sudden.She had even switched off the TV and seemed to be shaking from fright."Why did you say that? Perhaps you did something I didn't know about while you were here?” Richard stared intensely at Alice, the smile on his face didn't disagree for even a second."You were all playing it safe some moments ago, but after he left, you started making a move and have already made a move against me, so I guess I'm the next person," Alice sighed, explaining, her body still shivering.At that moment, she began to curse Andrew's shallow mind, wondering why he had provoked Richard. Now Richard was going to begin to counteract, which is not good for any of them."Why should I make a move against you?" Richard asked her another question, his gaze still lingering on Alice."I attacked you." Alice thought for a while, then gave a response,Richard's mouth curled up into a smirk as he stared at Alic

The illusion that made them believe they were willing had to be cleared. There was going to be no mercy.At this moment, the only thing in Richard's mind was to crush them all.Picking up the landline, he dialled some numbers after a while the call was answered,"Sir, is it time already?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone just as the call was answered."Yes, prepare to begin the counterattack; wait for my command; before then, make sure the men are ready; I'll call you anytime from now," Richard issued a series of commands."Yes sir," the hoarse voice answered from the other end of the phone. Then the call was disconnected."Ring!"Before Richard could say anything, his phone lying on the table rang loudly, calling his attention.Walking over, the seriousness on his face vanished as he answered the call,"Hello Amanda," Richard chuckled,"Why are you calling me at this time of the night? Wouldn't your husband be mad?""I knew it was not a good time to call you," Aman

Andrew's brows narrowed into a thin line after hearing this. The serious expression on his face changed, and a smile slowly blossomed on his face.But it was for just an instant. After all, he couldn't let Richard know he had caught him..He still needed him to walk into the trap. Coughing slightly to adjust his emotions, Andrew questioned, his expression grim,"What are you saying?""Why do you mean that?""What do I mean by that?" Richard's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he relaxed back on the sofa, staring at Andrew with a lazy expression."Even an imbecile would understand what I'm saying. Why do you happen not to understand?""Or are you worse than an imbecile?"Hearing this, Andrew flared up and wanted to retort. But the next moment, Harlod's words echoed in his mind, so he had no other choice but to forcibly suppress his anger."Now that's more like it," Richard smirked, seeing Andrew, who had lost his cool."Huh?" Richard froze seeing that Andrew swallowed back his anger.

"Didn't know it rained," Richard muttered, rubbing his eyes while he listened to the few raindrops.Stretching his body lazily, he stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to wash up. In a short while, he was done.Walking back to where Alice was, he found her watching the TV. She was so deep into it that she didn't even notice he was standing right behind her."Seems like you like it huh?" Richard broke the silence after a while seeing she still didn't notice him."Huh?" Alice jumped in fright holding her chest."So it's you," She patted her chest seeing it was Richard."Why do you look so scared? I'm not gonna eat you up," Richard chuckled, walking over to the sofa."Humph!" Alice snorted coldly and turned away from Richard facing the TV."Ring!"The landline rang just as Richard was about to sit, making him frown as he wondered who would come to visit him by this time of the night.It was late already. But still, he walked over and picked up the phone."Sir, the Mayor is

"Were you able to place the cameras where you were supposed to?" Clinton glanced at Aiden who had also gotten into the car."Yes, it was too damn easy," Aiden chuckled, nodding slightly."What's the next thing?" Aiden asked after a moment."Something interesting has happened," Clinton grinned, satisfaction written all over his face."What's that?" Aiden beamed wanting to know what had happened.For Clinton to be smiling like this, he was sure whatever had happened was not something small."Andrew blamed our actions on Richard and his heading to meet him," Clinton informed Aiden, then told him what had happened."That son of a bitch, finally getting what he deserves," Aiden grinned, rubbing his palms together."Now, we can sit back and watch as the drama unfolds, but at the same time, we can't act recklessly," Clinton agreed, starting the car before driving off.The downpour was still on, so he was not afraid of leaving any traces. The rain would wash away everything.Inside the Mayora
