Chapter 103

Cassandra's heart pounded against her ribs as she stood outside City Hall, the flash drive weighing more than a ton in her hand,

She wasn't sure of what the drive had been configured to do. What if after inserting, all the works they had laboured over disappeared forever, unable to trace it?

What if all of Richard's crimes were deleted in the process? She mused,

Justice would never come to Dalton City. However, her father would survive. She took a deep breath closed her eyes, and began to make her way to the door.

She had to do what she had to do, she concluded internally.

As soon as she got in, Cassandra paced around the room, her face darkening as she walked, while she tried thinking of how she could escape the web she found herself,

No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of anything, sweat covered her face as she realized she was in a fix.

‘What the heck was happening? What was she going to do? How was she going to get out of this mess?’ she mused internally,

    "Why do you think I would want to help you?" He finally turned to Cassandra after a long moment of silence,"Because..."

Was he really going to let her do what they wanted or was he going to let her father die? She exhaled at the thought of the latter being a welcoming idea for him."I...."Gazing at her, Richard smiled darkly and shook his head,"You don't have to talk, let me see the flash drive," Richard interrupted her, stretching his hands towards her,Though he didn't want to help, he had no choice as he was bound by his commitment to Dalton and his office.

    Silence hung in the air for a while, as she awaited Richard's response. Gazing subtly at her, he sighed as he said,"Wait, a minute, I'll make a call," Richard finally said, pulling out his phone as he dialled a number,"Hey, May- Richard," A feminine voice came from the other end of the phone immediately after the call was answered."Vivienne, I need you to do some things for me?" Richard replied, going straight to the point, he was not willing to waste his time on the formalities, time was of the essence and there wasn't time for frivolities,"Huh?" Vivienne at the other end froze hearing Richard's words and for a moment, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seemed like she had been thinking too much. She had let her thoughts run too wild."I messaged you to send some security men to guard Cassandra's father, Harold at the hospital," Richard instructed, his voice sounding rather firm.At the other end, Vivienne's brows furrowed but she said nothing to question his request,"Alrig

    In an abandoned warehouse located on the outskirts of the city, a figure paced around the warehouse, clenching and unclenching the fist that was close to his mouth, his veins standing at attention on his neck. On the other hand, the other occupant of the room was sitting in front of a laptop, typing away while grinning.The former who was pacing was Clinton, while the occupied latter was Aiden; they had turned the warehouse into their hideout, as they were now wanted criminals. Hence, they couldn't live like normal citizens any longer"We should leave already Aiden, there's no need to do this, we might end up being caught," Clinton exclaimed, bending over as he folded himself, he was trying to get Aiden to stop what he was doing, but the latter was hell-bent on seeing his mission through. He couldn't afford to fail this time around,“There's no way we would get caught. I've already set everything in place," He shook his head, his eyes flashing with greed.At the moment, he was plann

    At Aiden's silence, Clinton tried being the voice of reason once more,"We should-""No!" Aiden interjected while glaring at him, “I would make sure to complete it first before I leave, there's no need for you to panic, there's no way they would find us here," he shook his head stubbornly,He was rather confident that there was no way he would be caught in this place.

    "Aiden, we should leave, they could break in soon?" Clinton's expression darkened seeing that Aiden was still typing away on the computer,"We have to leave, we don't have much time!" Clinton continued, backing away towards the back door,They had already prepared for an emergency and they were supposed to escape, but Aiden was being obstinate. From the looks of it, he didn't want to leave."Just wait, Clinton, I need just a little more time," Aiden replied, not turning around to look at Clinton who was already back towards the door.Greed flashed in his eyes as he typed on the System. He was confident his men would be able to hold back whoever was trying to break in,All he needed was just a few more minutes and then he would be able to escape.Clinton, on the other hand, didn't think this way. He was already at the door, ready to run out if anything went South.He was not interested in playing with his life, just like Aiden was doing; though he was also greedy, he was not greedy to

    As Richard's eyes met with the situation, a sinister look appeared in his eyes, as himself and the air around him crackled with a murderous aura, he dashed forward even before the man could react, grabbed his arms forcefully away from Vivienne's neck, releasing his chokehold, and then twisted the man's arms. The sound of bones breaking and the man's piercing cry filled the air,Crack!"Argghhh!"The loud breaking of bones could be heard, followed by a blood-curdling scream,"How dare you?" Richard growled, his eyes turning molten. The murderous aura surrounding him at this moment intensified, and he punched the man.Instantly the man was sent flying. It was as though he had been hit by an incoming truck.At first, Richard wanted to step forward to continue beating the man, but then he shook his head; since he had already disarmed the man, it was fine. Also, he wondered why he had gotten so annoyed after seeing that Vivienne was in danger.Richard hurriedly shook his head to rid the i

    “Richard Day! You're under arrest for fraud, bribery, and corruption!” Inspector Finn’s words rang out, and Richard leaned back in his chair, unfazed. Slowly, he turned to face the officer. “Finn,” he drawled, “ To what do I owe this pleasure?”“Uhm… A case has been brought against you, and I’m simply here doing my duty,” Finn replied, a hint of nervousness in his voice.‘Is that so?’ Richard raised an eyebrow, and his gaze flicked briefly to his assistant, Benson, whose hand hovered over his waistband, ready to act. With a subtle shake of his head, Richard signaled him to stand down.Sighing, Richard looked around at the officers before focusing on Finn. “What crime did you say has been levied against me?" he asked, voice calm but edged with steel. Inspector Finn swallowed a little before he replied. “You've been accused of misappropriation of funds, bribery, corruption, and various other crimes" He started with a clearer voice, but his confidence wavered as he continued und

    The hunt for the elusive Aiden Cross, the criminal and trafficker of Dalton City, was in full- swing, with everyone suspicious of their next-door neighbour.Finding the man who had vanished without a trace was the focus of every department in the mayor's office, every investigative team, and every intelligence resource,Although Andrew had approved border monitoring, statewide warnings, and extensive research into Aiden's previous transactions, nothing concrete had surfaced until now.Cassandra was in a complete dilemma as she stood motionless outside the intensive care unit, her nostrils flooded with the pungent smell of antiseptic, sterility and hospital smell,The only thing that brought her back to reality was the steady beep of the devices keeping an eye on her father's health. Harold was lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator attached to his face to help with his difficult breathing, a bruised face, and one arm covered in tight bandages,She had been informed by the doctor
