With hate in her eyes, Cassandra turned to glare at Vivienne who had turned on the light at the sound of the footsteps,

“What the hell did you do?!"

She asked in a shrill voice, throwing daggers with her eyes at Vivienne who shrugged and smirked,

“Just a little going away gift. I know how much the media loves you" she chuckled.

Immediately cameras and microphones were placed in front of them as the media began asking question after question,

"Mr Delaney, Miss Cassandra, Mr Morris can you all tell us why you're held up here?”

"What allegations have been laid against you?"

“Has Mayor Richard regained his freedom and demanded your arrest?"

The last question infuriated Cassandra and so she stormed her leg, as she glared at them,

"That bastard can never be free! A criminal never goes unpunished!” She exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"Is that so? So why are you locked up in jail?” another person countered, and Cassandra's face darkened. Andrew nudged her into not saying anything, as it c

    But before Richard could say anything to defend himself against the slander, another commotion ensued at the entrance of the prison, Andrew's father, Dan Morris had stormed his arrival with an army of men flanking his sides, the men were fierce-looking and had some of the officers cradling their necks to have a glance, the others mumbling amongst themselves as they gazed at the heavy set men. “Where is my son?!" He thundered, as his eyes darted around the prison walls, his eyes landed on the media that had surrounded the place and finally, on his son who had a small smile at his father's arrival, Dan Morris glared at Harold, “What's going on here?! What have you lot done with my son?" Harold gulped, his cheeks reddening a little, "Huh… Si-sir…" he trailed, unable to string his words together. He had totally forgotten about Dan's incessant calls and messages and hadn't imagined that the man would leave the capital to come look for his son. Harold had been hoping to curb the s

    Dan Morris yelled as he stood right in front of Richard, glaring at him. He had heard of all Richard had done, and though they were a little impressive, it gave him no room to talk in that manner to him, clenching his jaw and fists he stared Richard down,“Is it because you're a lost war hero? Does that give you the right to be rude? You're nothing; you must have been something before now, but at this moment, you're nothing! Got that?!” He challenged Richard as he jutted his chin at him,Richard only stood unfazed, as he stared at the man while he barked. Bending his neck to the side, he smiled,“If you say so. But I'm going to ask you to apologize. Afterall you slapped a woman and our police Chief, it's only right that you apologize" Dan Morris immediately burst into laughter, the corner of his eyes twinkling as he gazed at Richard, the dude sure had audacity, he mused,“Are you such a fool or what? You expect me to apologize to her?” He turned to glower at Vivienne as he jabbed his

    Seeing the dazed expression on the leader's face, Dan Morris immediately interjected before Richsrd could respond,“Don't listen to him! Don't listen to whatever he has to say. He is just a former fighter reliving his glorious days! Show him what you've got!" He commanded authoritatively as he sneered at Richard, who had an impassive look on his face but was also battle-ready.He spared Vivienne a glance, who was biting on her lower lips, Vivienne's face was a little pale and she immediately grasped his arms and whispered,“M-mayor?" she said softly as she glanced at the men from a lowered glance, she did not know what the outcome of the fight would be,Though Richard was fit and could fight, he was clearly outnumbered, and her men, who were shaking like Chickens that had been poured water, didn't look like one who could confront the looming ten.Sensing her fears and apprehensions, Richard smiled and shook his head before patting the hand that was holding tightly unto him, and speaki

    With a shaky voice and a pale face, he gaped at Richard who stood strong with wide shoulders, not a scratch on him, he mumbled in a low voice,“W-what are you? A mercenary? W-who?”He hadn't come across one with such skill or power; he had only heard of one with such skills but had never seen or known him personally. It wasn't possible that this person before him could be that person, was it? He wondered as he gulped, his entire face pale.Sneering at the leader, Vivienne stepped forward as she took the liberty to respond with a smirk,“He's Richard Day, the Mayor of our town" As the name left Vivienne's lips, the leader sputtered, and went paler than before, stumbling as he gaped at Richard,“N-no…no, it can't be” As he gaped at Richard, he couldn't deny that he surely was the one he had heard about. The leader immediately got to his feet and turned to glare at Dan Morris whose brows furrowed,“What have you done?!!" The leader demanded loudly, grabbing at Dan's collar, who began co

    A few days later, the news about Cassandra, Harold and the Morris' embarrassing beating was still headline news on every available blog and news,The media who had been present at the cell had made sure to secretly capture and share the news. Cassandra and the rest were still nursing their wounds, Dan Morris had gone back to the capital with his tails in between his legs.Richard was once again praised as a National Hero who, despite being down, had found a way to deal with his enemies.Andrew, Cassandra and Harold were currently seated in Andrew's new office, nursing their wounds. Cassandra rubbed at the sore spot as she cursed Richard and the men who had beaten her up internally,‘Damn you to hell Richard Day’ she cursed at him, biting hard on her lower lip as she remembered the horror she had gone through.All of a sudden, the door to Andrew's office was barged open and his new secretary alongside a few officials hurried into the office, looking a little frazzled,“Mr Morris, Mayor

    Andrew sighed and ran his hands over his face as he expelled a deep breath,"What if we don't find how to nail this on Richard? What if he's not the one behind this?” Sighing once more, he looked at the duo and shook his head, "I don't even know what to think at this point. This is not what we can deal with under the time frame, or we have to answer for what we know nothing about. I can't carry the cross for another man's crime; it's impossible." Andrew paced around the room, with many thoughts weighing him down in his head.His secretary who had returned into the room after seeing the officials out, smiled softly and cleared her throat,“Excuse me, sir, but we have to find—” She was about to drop off a suggestion that came to her mind, hoping that Andrew would listen to her. She was secretly in love with Andrew, and being that he was a Morris added to her awe of him, and so she was trying daily to make him see her beyond being a secretary. Afterall, Cassandra wasn't good enough for

    As Cassandra stealthily approached, Andrew snapped his head to her direction and scowled,"Cassandra what do you want?" Andrew asked, glaring intently at her,Cassandra was calm since her father asked her to get a hold of her man.She could see the fury in Andrew's eyes, the muscles straining against his shirt. She closed her eyes briefly and put up a sly smile,She sat on his desk, crossing her legs and glanced at him, "Have you lost your mind, Andrew? Would you let our enemies win this battle? What happened to the strong-willed and smart young acting Mayor I'm marrying? Don't give up now, be calm, gather your thoughts together so we can create a perfect solution that'll benefit everyone" Andrew glanced at her, biting lightly on his lower lips, as he ran his hands through his hair. He glanced at Harold and sneered a little before facing Cassandra who had begun speaking once again,"You know this is your legacy we're talking about. We can't let our enemies mock us. What happened to

    One could feel the tension in the office, but Andrew ignored both women as he gazed at his laptop screen, his eyes not seeing anything,The stifling silence that had descended upon the room was interrupted by the gentle sound of a notification on the laptop. Across from him, Cassandra sat with her arms crossed firmly and her fingers tapping angrily on her forearm, occasionally darting a glare in Mia’s direction,Harold paced the room, the soft carpet underneath him absorbing his footsteps."Fuck it, Andrew," Cassandra suddenly yelled, her piercing tone breaking the tension, she was done playing the good fianceé role, she couldn't fathom how Andrew could have been blinded by whatever to the extent that a crime of this magnitude was going on under him and he didn't have a clue. If those officials hadn't said anything, the crime would have gone on for longer."How could you have allowed this to occur? Are you aware of how terrible this is for us?” she fired at him, glaring intently,Andr

    Getting into the room, Andrew began to search his office frantically, wanting to see if any of his documents were missing."Fortunately, they didn't steal anything," Andrew heaved a sigh of relief, then turned back to Cassandra and Harold."Sorry for making you both run around," He apologized,"It's fine," Harlod shook his head, the frown on his face deepened with each second."What do you think is the purpose of the thief?" Harold asked after a while, the frown on his face got even deeper.He didn't want to believe someone would just break into the Mayoral office without having a reason.Sure it was not for money. The person was not a fool. If they wanted money, they would break into a bank, yet, they came."Why did you say that?" Andrew was a little bit confused,"Think about it, don't you feel it's a little bit too strange for someone to break into the Mayoral building? After all, this isn't a bank or a Jewelry store," Cassandra chipped in, observing Andrew's expression while his f

    The heavy downpour was still ongoing. Fog covered the whole city as darkness slowly descended like a thief in the night.It had been an hour since the rain began, but it didn't look like it had fallen to its heart's content, and more was coming.At this moment, everyone who has gone to work has hurriedly returned to their houses. The ones who had shops hurriedly closed them to return to the warmth of their homes.The day was forced to end due to the rain, forcing everyone to take shelter while it sent cold everywhere.During all of these, a car pulled up in front of the Mayoral office.Using the darkness as a cover, two figures descended from the car both holding an umbrella.One of the figures held a bag as they moved. Their faces couldn't be seen as they had a mask on their faces.But naturally, these two happened to be Aiden and Clinton. Cause of the heavy rain, there was also traffic, thus causing the two to get here at this time.But Clinton only claimed it was better they got he

    Back in Clinton's house, where he and Aiden were still hiding and plotting, Aiden turned to stare at Clinton,"Clinton, do you have other plans?" he asked Clinton who was standing by the window watching the raindrop,"Nope," Clinton shook his head, still observing the raindrop, the frown on his face deepened,"What's wrong Clinton?" Aiden frowned, staring at Clinton, who was staring out of the window."We'll need to change our plans," Clinton sighed, shaking his head"Why?" Aiden was dumbfounded and he stared at Clinton, wondering what was wrong,"Another unstable factor has gotten into the game, and if we are not careful, we will end up in prison. And this time, there'll be no hope for us to escape," Clinton sighed, the sadness in his voice could be felt."And who's that?" Aiden asked, his face darkening as he spoke,First was the team that had snatched the money from them, now, someone else was going to enter the game.What the heck were they all thinking? Were they trying to hinde

    "Huh?" Andrew and Cassandra froze hearing Harold's words, not believing their ears,Their first instinct was to say he was lying, but for the fact that they knew Harold, they couldn't voice out their thoughts.Harold observed the expression on their faces and couldn't help but shake his head,These two were naive, they didn't know whom they were fighting against; they had the guts to attack Richard without proper planning,What the hell had they been thinking?"So what are we going to do now?" Andrew suppressed his shock and asked,The sound of the rain falling heavily against the window panes could be heard almost drowning out his voice."I don't know," Harold shrugged,"What?!" Andrew and Cassandra froze once again not knowing what to say,"You don't believe me right?" Harold chuckled, seeing the expression on both their faces,The two nodded almost immediately while Harold chuckled; he was not lying, he really didn't know what to do.If he knew, he wouldn't be here sitting down st

    "Are you really going to help us?" Cassandra's eyes lit up hearing her father's words.Though she had joined hands with someone else who then gave her the idea that she had used, then gave her ways to make evidence without it being doctored, she felt something was missing,The person had said he wanted only Vivienne, though she didn't know what he wanted to do with her; she felt he must have gotten whatever he wanted, or else he wouldn't have gone silent.Since then, she didn't know how to push forward, Andrew was too busy handling his affairs, so she was left to deal with the aftermath."There's nothing I can do, I can't just stay and watch you fail in what you started," Harlod spread his hands shaking his head showing his helplessness,The two hadn't informed him before taking such big plans; now it was obvious they were going down the drain; how could he sit and watch them?"I'll take you there, Dad," Cassandra offered excitedly, standing up from where she was sitting."Alright let

    "A bet?" Alice mumbled, staring at Richard, wondering what the heck he was trying to drive at,"Yeah. As long as I fail to change the way the Public feels, then I'll let you go, else you'll answer any of my questions," Richard replied with a nod, his gleaming as he stared at her,Alice stared at Richard for a while, not saying anything; the terms of the bet were a bit lucrative.If she were to win the bet, she would be free, else she would be forced to tell Richard whatever he wanted to know,Though Richard didn't try to force her to say anything when he asked her who sent her, neither did he try to use any physiological tricks, she couldn't be careless."Since you're silent, I'll take it that you agree to the terms of the bet then," Richard sighed and stood up once again,"No, no, I don't," Alice hurriedly came back to her senses and shook her head, instantly turning down the offer,Though there was a chance that she would win, it was just one out of two; it was not certain.Also,

Alice turned to Richard, wondering why he didn't look annoyed or moved,"What do you want me to do?" Richard shrugged, staring at the TV with a gentle smile."This news is bad for your reputation. In just a few hours, the reputation you painstakingly buil

    "This was just too much fun," Aiden laughed, walking back into the house,He couldn't help but imagine Andrew's annoyed expression while he called out his name,This was a very refreshing feeling for Aiden as he was sure the latter wouldn't be able to do anything.What about the police, they wouldn't even be able to search. Also, he instructed his men to appear only for a minute or two, then they should disappear,"Where's the mask?" Clinton's cold voice pulled Aiden out of his thoughts."Yes, I made sure to collect them back," Aiden chuckled, still feeling good,"So what's our next move?" He asked, throwing the bag back at Clinton who was standing just by the dining table,"Let's wait and prepare for the next heist. The police are too confused to start any search right away," Clinton answered, walking about to the chair,"So how are we going to deal with their other group?" Aiden continued with his series of questions."We can't let them off easily, we need to show them we are also

    "Access the CCTV cameras of these places, I want to see if Aiden was there a few minutes ago," Justin added over the papers to one of the people in the control room,"Yes, Sir," The officer saluted him, then turned to salute Andrew, too, but Andrew was not in the mood for all of the frivolities and shenanigans,All he wanted was just to confirm if Aiden was found in one of the locations or not."Sir here's Aiden," the man immediately pointed at the screen, which showed Aiden, who was buying something from the store,"Check the next location," Justin commanded,"Yes, Sir," The man nodded, and his hands immediately started to fly around on the keyboard."Sir, there he is," he pointed at Aiden who was walking with a bag in hand with his head down,"How many minutes is between them?" Justin didn't come to conclusions, but first, he asked,"Sir, both are at 10:30 this morning," the officer at the table swallowed, also realizing something was off.There was no way one person would be in t
