"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

    Still in the van,Aiden rested his head on the seat with his eyes closed. He was not sure if he was to be happy or not,“Are you such a coward?!" he muttered to himself, wondering how whoever it was that wanted to save him had given up,What the heck was that? How could the person get scared and abandon their plans?Or was this just a plot to make him believe someone was coming to save him, and then, in the end, it was going to go all the same?“Damn it!” Aiden grumbled, furiously his nails,Heaving a sigh, he ran his hands through his hair, as he sighed again, accepting his fate, he had been excited for nothing, with that realisation, he couldn't help but curse at the police officers,“Bloody bastards!" he spoke through gritted teeth.Why the hell were they playing with his mind? Just as Aiden thought about giving up, a loud popping sound suddenly echoed throughout the whole place, shaking the car and making the driver, who was already at high speed, lose control,After a while, he w

    Aiden's heart hammered against his chest as the car drove at a very high speed, though he could tell there was no way the officers were going to come after them, the person driving the car didn't seem to be thinking about this and was just driving at a crazy speed,Well, this didn't matter, he had finally escaped, he was going to finalize his plans.He made a mental note not to be as greedy as he was the last time, or else he was sure whoever had saved him wouldn't be willing to take such a risk again,Even the law was not going to be lenient with him. So he was thinking too far talking about the person who had just saved him.Aiden's eyes nearly popped out as he came to a sinking realization,“Damn it!" he mumbled beneath his breath, chewing on his lips. He didn't think about the consequences of following them as he was concerned about escaping, his fists turned ashen as he heaved; knowing he hadn't been rescued out of benevolence,He knew whoever had saved him, needed him for someth

    While Aiden had successfully made his escape, an oblivious Andrew was in his office when someone rushed in, panting heavily with his face mapped in sweat,"Sir, we have a problem!" he exclaimed,"What problem?" Andrew snapped his head up to gape at the man who had rushed in. Still panting heavily, the fellow bent over, trying to catch his breath as he revealed, "Sir, the prisoner escaped," he reported, Despite the air conditioner and cold room, the fellow was still dabbed in sweat, fanning himself with his hand.As Andrew processed the news, he narrowed his eyes at Trent, a deep frown etched on his face as he asked loudly,"What prisoner?" Gazing intently at the man, he quirked his brow at him, awaiting a response. There were many prisoners awaiting trial, so how was he supposed to know which of them had escaped? A part of him hoped to God that Trent wasn't referring to Richard.Besides, the weight of Dalton City had fallen on him, though the Parker family had promised to help, th

    Expelling a deep breath as he closed and opened his eyes, Andrew waved off his hands, dismissing Trent without looking at him,"You may leave," Trent immediately nodded his head, his head bobbing as he hurriedly left Andrew's office, he couldn't dare waste another minute,Andrew was like a ticking time bomb, a little erratic. Trent was sure that if he wasted another moment or displeased Andrew, he would fire him.Oblivious to the thought that raced through Trent's mind while he raced out of his office, Andrew sighed for the umpteenth time; he didn't know what to do anymore nor what to tell the masses. What was he to tell them?He had to think of a way to convince them that he would look into the matter and make sure Aiden was caught,Still, deep in thought, Andrew's eyes suddenly glistened as a thought flashed through his mind, and he flew off the couch, walking towards the scattered files as he searched for his phone, whose screen was already broken.Sighing, with a slow smile appea

    Vivienne was still basking in the euphoria of the massage, expelling breaths at intervals and sighing with pleasure. The room was filled with pleasant silence aside from Vivienne's occasional sigh, it felt like Richard had been at it for hours, but in reality, it had only been a mere fifteen minutes,Richard's voice finally broke the silence, as he asked Vivienne,"Do you think the method you've taken to find the criminal who had just escaped is right?" still massaging her shoulders, he asked,"W-wha-?" Vivienne froze, jolting out of the immense relaxation she was in,She didn't know what technique Richard was using on her shoulders, but she could feel the tension and fatigue that had initially engulfed her, reducing."Answer me, Vivienne," Richard called softly, his voice pulling Vivienne out of her pleasing thoughts,Furrowing her brows, Vivienne absently nodded as she responded,"Yes, that's the most proper thing to do. After all, the officers who were there said they saw the car

    Considering Vivienne was a smart one, it didn't take long for the bulb to go off in her head, she suddenly went still, while her countenance immediately brightened,She finally figured out what Richard was driving at, and why he had indirectly asked all of those questions. Leaping to her feet, with widened eyes as she waved her hands, she turned to look at Richard,"I need to leave; I can't let Aiden escape!"Richard had been instrumental in giving her another lead, and she berated herself for not thinking about it in the first place. Smiling softly, she hurried over to Richard, lowered her head to his,"Thank you very much," and instantly placed a kiss on his cheeks before she ran out with flushed cheeks.Smiling softly to himself, Richard lifted his palm to graze at the lingering sensation, as he watched Vivienne run out of his room. Sighing a little, he relaxed onto his bed as he gazed at the television, a part of him wondering if Vivienne would be successful in catching Aiden and

    Inside the retreating vehicle, Aiden kept turning around, gaping at the police car giving them a hot chase,Earlier on, Clinton had unexpectedly returned with food and water, and while Aiden had been eating, he rambled on to Clinton about how much he hated Richard, and how it was his meddlesome self that had caught him,There and then, Clinton squeezed his eyes shut and became on edge, urging Aiden to hurry up with his food. Not too long after, while Aiden was drinking water, they heard the arrival of the cars and immediately fled through the back door.Now, they were in a hot chase with the police who didn't seem to be going easy on them,"What are we going to do?" Aiden turned to Clinton whose eyes were fixated on the road."At best, we escape together and clean up the traces, and at worst, I stop the car and kick you out, then let them arrest you again while I flee," Clinton rolled his eyes as he answered Aiden's question"But...." Aiden gulped, swallowing the lump in his throat.

    (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?"
