Vivienne immediately picked up the call, smiling a little to herself as she did,

“Hello, May- Richard" her giddy voice sounded from her end,

"Vivienne, how are you doing," Richard replied, his voice rather calm, subtly clearing his throat,

After the incident, the both of them hadn't seen themselves, and Vivienne found herself missing him. She knew she had developed feelings for Richard, but she wasn't sure if he also felt the same way towards her.

Though she could tell from the way Richard always stared into her eyes. The way his voice was extremely calm and gentle when he was with her.

The way he would lose his cool if anything was wrong with her and so many other things.

Richard's clearing of voice and his voice broke through her reverie,

"I need you to come over, I need your help on something," Richard's voice pulled Vivienne out of her thoughts.

"Huh?"

Vivienne froze hearing what Richard said, grinning from ear to ear; she couldn't believe her ears.

Richard needed her help and wa

    "Here's the thing," Richard began, gazing at Vivienne intently "Tony, one of my allies called to inform me that Andrew came to him, telling him a Family from Brooksville wanted to come to Dalton City to mine the natural resource.”Instantly, Vivienne's brows and body perked up, as she leaned in closely. Richard nodded and continued,“Also, they'll give the city sixty per cent of whatever they were going to mine, keeping forty for themselves.""How is that possible?" Vivienne's expression hardened upon hearing what Richard said, and she narrowed her eyes at him, even if he was merely relaying what he had heard,"Even a fool would realize there's something wrong with that!” Vivienne frowned, "I know, but that's not the main problem. I'm certain they cannot succeed,” he affirmed, his voice ringing with certainty and ruthlessness,"Even if they are going to give up all of the mined natural resources, I don't care about it," he added and shook his head.As she listened, Vivienne's once s

    As the lady waltzed her way in, walking as though she had a chip on her shoulders, Richard snapped his head to scowl at her, with Vivienne equally sneering,"Cassandra, what are you doing here?" Richard's expression changed, as she further walked into the cell"I knew you'd definitely be hungry, so I brought some food for you," Cassandra smiled sweetly, ignoring Vivienne, who was sitting beside Richard."I've brought some flowers over too. You used to like these ones back then," Cassandra continued, placing the flask in her hands on the table,Then she walked closer to Richard wanting to give him the flowers."I'd suggest you stay where you are?" Richard growled, narrowing his eyes at her, Squinting her eyes as her brows furrowed, Cassandra mumbled with widened eyes,"Huh?" and froze upon hearing his words,She expected this response, but she didn't expect to hear such hostility in Richard's voice, he was very different from the man who used to worship her. The way he spoke, it was a

    At Cassandra's departure, Richard turned to Vivienne and nodded curtly at her,"Sorry about that," he apologized. Waving it off with a smile, she beamed with a response,"It's fine, you don't have to worry," Though her smile looked rather light, her heart was thumping heavily against her chest as she tried her best to prevent her cheeks from going red,She didn't know why, but she felt a complete sense of security when Richard scolded Cassandra on her behalf.She was just about to retort, but who would have expected that Richard was going to protect her?It felt so good, and she couldn't stop the thrills that went through her as she remained the tone which Richard had scolded Cassandra with,Cassandra had been overly sure that Richard wouldn't throw her out; considering they had once been engaged, she could stand his coldness but didn't think he could be that harsh. Neither did Vivienne.Vivienne's smile further deepened when she remembered Richard's attitude towards Cassandra when

    The next day arrived faster than expected, Richard, dressed in plain khaki shorts and a shirt stood outside the prison walls, waiting for Vivienne's arrival,While waiting outside, a smile graced his lips as he took on the surroundings and felt the crisp air on him.Although thanks to Vivienne, his movement in the prison wasn't restricted, he wasn't one to take people for granted, hence he didn't take advantage of that privilege.Besides, he didn't want to give Andrew, Cassandra or even Harold another arsenal against Vivienne, because if they knew of the immense help she was rendering to him, it would be chaotic,Today was an exception; he had to investigate himself and be present; he wasn't going to leave anything to chance.Suddenly he heard the sounds of the vehicles before they pulled over,Rows of cars pulled up before him, and he nodded curtly at them as Vivienne popped out of her head,“Hop in, there's a little traffic ahead, we might get there late" Richard nodded briskly, sm

    "Hello sir," Franklyn's voice came from the other end of the phone,"Franklyn?" Richard called gently, the smile on his face deepening a bit,"Sir, I've found out about Parker's family." Franklyn began, pausing for a moment before he continued again.“Would you like me to tell you about them or would you prefer for me to send the files over to you, Sir?" Franklyn asked over the phone,For a moment, Richard was deep in thought before he finally responded,"Tell me. What did you find out," Richard answered, he wasn't sure he was in the mood to read any file, and he wanted to get the information over with."Just as you've guessed sir, Parker's family is just a small family in Brooksville. Though for some reason recently, they've been having a major breakthrough." Franklyn explained, his voice carrying some sort of weight,"In just a month, they were about to move from a third-rate family in Brooksville to a first-rate family. Even the other first-rate families have had to tread with the

    "Where are you guys? I've been waiting for you all morning," Clinton spoke immediately as he answered the call,They had made him anxious, and they needed to know how much their actions had cost him,"Sorry Sir, we were held up by an assignment," A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone."We'll be arriving in Dalton City in the next three hours." The voice informed,Clinton heaved a breath and nodded,"Alright then, I'll be waiting for you at the place we discussed; I'll bring some equipment and ammo with me," he ended the call.He was still invested in the matter as he was thinking about how to get Aiden out of prison. There was no way he was going to allow him to spend a day more in that damn place.The earlier he was able to break him out of prison, the quicker he would be able to recover all of his money,Pushing the matter to the back of his mind, Clinton switched on the TV wanting to cool down.But just as he was about to change the channel, something suddenly caught

    "Sorry for the delay and the abrupt change in plan," Clinton apologized as he alighted from the car, staring at the group of men before him,The men nodded curtly as one of them responded,"It's nothing, we have been paid after all, so there's no need to get annoyed." while he spoke, he subtly sized Clinton up with his eyes,Clinton caught the man's gaze but commented nothing on it as he dished out his instructions,“Alright then, this would be our location until we're set to roll." gazing intently at them, he continued,"This time around, we're breaking him out of the van that would be conveying him to court” he informed them, as he also appraised them.The mercenaries were ten, and they came in two cars, though some of them were still inside the car, the ones before him all had hardened expressions on their faces,From their expression and countenance, Clinton could tell that this mission was a piece of cake for them, they were mercenaries who had gone through worse situations, even

    While Clinton and the men were preparing to rescue Aiden, the van Aiden was seated, moving slowly down the path. The van was accompanied with armed military and police vehicles preceding and tailing it,The vehicles moved a little slowly, Aiden sat inside the van with lowered head, a shadow of himself,No one would believe it was the unruly Aiden Cross, he was disheveled. His hair was all scattered, and he looked rather lean.He hadn't been in prison for a month, yet he was reduced to such a terrible state, despite his connection, the prison look wasn't a good one on Aiden.Running a hand through his hair as he heaved a deep breath, Aiden's eyes closed briefly as Clinton's words echoed in his head. Gritting his teeth, he remembered how Clinton had urged him to abandon everything, but he had refused believing he could handle it,It turned out, he couldn't handle it as his obstinacy had cost him terribly, if he had listened to Clinton and escaped through the backdoor with him, he was su

    (Three Years Later) "Get these files and give them to the right department," Richard ordered, passing a file to a man standing before him. "Yes sir," The man nodded and took the files from Richard. "Do you need anything?" Richard finally raised his head from what he was doing to look at the man who was still standing. "Sir, I need you to approve my leave so I can take care of my wife who's about to give birth," The man said slowly, handing over a matter to Richard. "Alright, it's approved," Richard nodded and took the letter from the man. "Thank you, sir," The man beamed happily and quickly walked out of the office. Richard sighed and sat back on the chair after the man was out. It had been three years since everything. Andrew, Cassandra, and Harold were tried and thrown into prison. Justus, Aiden, Clinton, and Robin were also thrown into prison for fraud. The citizens of Dalton City demanded that Richard come back as the Mayor of the city. After much pleas and persuasion, h

    Walking out of the office, the three walked out of the mayoral office only to be greeted by about five men who were in uniforms. Seeing the men, Andrew and Harold froze and it was as though their eyes would pop out of their sockets as they stared at the men. Slowly, they began to move back as though they had seen a ghost. "Father, Andrew, what the heck is wrong with both of you?" Cassandra frowned and stopped the two who were retreating slowly. "You should also go back; they are most probably here to arrest us," Harlod whispered to Cassandra, whose eyes flashed with panic. This must be Richard's fault. They were sure he was the one who invited them over. Apart from him, no one dared to make such a big move. Also, they were not expecting it. "Please stop moving back; we are going to assume you want to run away, and we would be forced to use force on you?" One of the men stepped forward, stating in a loud, cold voice, making the three stop in their tracks. The people before them

    "What the heck is that bastard doing?" Andrew slapped the table angrily standing up from where he was.Somehow, some reporters had managed to get to the scene where Richard was arresting Aiden.And in the end, the citizens were praising Richard for arresting the miscreants. Then a torrent of curses was sent towards Andrew and it was said he knew nothing but to say things that were not true.This annoyed Andrew, but there was nothing he could do about it."You saw why I said we can't let him live," Cassandra, who had been silent all along, broke the silence, and the two couldn't help but nod.She was right, there was no way they would allow Richard to live. He was just too damn dangerous."So do you still think we should take the killing seriously, or we should continue to look at him," Cassandra stared at the two men and inquired."We should get rid of him for good this time, else, he won't spare us," Harold shook his head.He knew if Richard was to know they wanted to kill him, he w

    "If that's the case, why don't you just let us search the house?" One of the policemen frowned and spoke."If you were to search the house, you would also be wasting your time as you wouldn't be able to find them either," Alice shook her head, wondering if this set of people were dumb."Seems like you don't believe it?" Richard smirked, staring at the police officers."Since that's the case, then go and search the house," Richard continued, waving his hands allowing them to go search the house."You can go," Vivienne nodded and allowed the men to go into the house to search.Though she trusted Richard, her men seemed to have doubts. So she had no other choice but to let them clear their doubts by going into the house."But how did you know all of these?" Vivienne asked, staring at Richard."That's because Clinton is not an ordinary Criminal," Richard answered with a smile.He knew how Clinton's mind worked. So he was very sure he was still in the house."Look at his style. He knows

    "Fuck!" Aiden, who was typing with all of his might, suddenly cursed. "Who the heck is playing with me?" He yelled, banging the table. He had been trying to hack into the place, but for some reason, he was not able to do it. At some point, the other person seemed to have given up and left. But he didn't and continued to fight with the other party. After a while, he realized the other party didn't even take him seriously at all and this made him annoyed. "What's wrong?" Clinton, who had been packing, rushed into the room and asked what was wrong. "You won't believe this guy is playing with me?" Aiden spoke, fury could be felt in his voice. "What do you mean by that?" Clinton asked slowly, the expression on his face changed. "He's not taking me seriously at all. He's not even trying to defend the place. More like he's just forcing me, wanting me to make mistakes," Hearing this, Clinton's eyes opened wide. While he was at the Mayoral office, they didn't have anyone with that sk

    "The universe is on our side," Andrew laughed loudly, walking into the office; the smile on his face was as wide as anything."What's happening?" Harold, who had been waiting for Andrew to return, stared at him, waiting for the news."Well, it's just that our team was able to block Aiden from entering and the money is still intact," Andrew laughed, sitting on the sofa."That's good news," Harold nodded, agreeing almost Instantly.Now that they have been able to block Aiden. All that remained was to attack Richard right?"Richard has not yet taken the bait, has he?" Harold asked a frown emerging on his face."You don't need to worry about that, I'm sure he's still pretending. We still have a lot of time. All we have to do is pretend the money is still there." "And if he doesn't take the money, we can still pin the blame on him, it would still be the same outcome anyways,""Good, good," Harold agreed, nodding happily.He was very satisfied with the way Andrew acted. He was sure that th

    "Richard!" Vivienne froze upon hearing the voice; the next moment, she pulled out of her shock and ran towards Richard, who was standing with Alice and embraced him tightly."Tell me, how did you know it was a trap?" Richard's low voice came again as he held Vivienne in his arms."It's easy to guess," Vivienne chuckled,"Who would be crazy to use that much as bait?" Vivienne laughed, still not releasing Richard."And since you dared do that. Naturally, you were not doing it for free, or were you?""You know me quite too well," Richard rubbed his nose hearing what she said.Though her analysis was quite off the mark, he couldn't say that she was wrong. He was the only one who would do such a thing and take such a risk.Apart from him, no one in the world would be willing to do such shit, so there was no need to look around."It's fine Vivienne, I'm here now," Richard smiled, patting Vivienne's back.It was not until then she disengaged from the hug and stared at him with a smile on he

    "Aren't you going to come along?" Richard glanced at Alice who was lying lazily on the sofa as though she didn't want to come along.After he revived the message from Richard, he immediately called Justin and asked him to come over, so they would go and arrest Justus.Now Justin and the others were waiting for him at the door."I'm coming," Alice stood up almost instantly, following Richard.She was not surprised that Richard's men had found out about Justus' location. She wanted to see what Justus would do. Also, she didn't know where the hideout was.So, there was no way he would blame her. Besides, he had abandoned her all to Richard.If it were not for the fact that Richard was a good person and was even willing to welcome her, she wouldn't know how miserable her life would have been.Just as the two were about to step out, Richard's phone rang. Pulling out the phone, Richard saw it was Franklyn."Sir, Andrew has withdrawn the money from the account," Franklyn reported, there wa

    "Now, this is what I call easy prey," Franklyn's eyes flashed with a glint as he typed away.He had already caught onto Justus's location and had immediately texted it to Richard right away.He would have called, but he knew the two would break into the place once he was distracted.The one billion was Richard's money, there was no way he would allow something to happen to it.He had to make sure he protected it with all of his might. Also, he was sure that Richard was expecting his message, so he was not worried at all.He knew Richard would know he was not trying to run away from responsibilities.Just as he was doing all of this, he saw Andrew walk into the finance office..Before he could say anything. More than half of the money had been withdrawn. He knew this was Andrew's work."How dare you try to steal Sir Richard's money?" Franklyn growled, feeling rather annoyed.What the heck was Andrew thinking? He wanted to spend Richard's money? That was not going to be possible.He was
