With their tails between their legs, and cursing themselves out at letting a criminal escape, Vivienne and her team headed back to the station and drawing board, hoping to come up with a grander plan in catching the infamous Aiden Cross and his accomplices,

Vivienne strolled around, ensuring the officers were doing their jobs,

"How's the search on Aiden going?" Vivienne finally stopped beside an officer sitting in front of a computer and asked,

"Ma'am, we've been trying our best to trace him, but it's as though he disappeared." The officer shook his head while Vivienne frowned slightly,

Whoever had saved Aiden must have considered it well before driving into the water.

They lost traces of everything right after that, just as Richard had said, even their bodies were not found.

"Continue to be on alert, inform me immediately if traces of him are found anywhere," Vivienne instructed, patting the man's shoulder,

"Yes, ma'am," he nodded as he focused on the task at hand.

    With the officer standing before him, Aiden swallowed hearing this and instantly remembered Clinton's warning,["As much as this looks fun and pretty easy, I must tell you, there's a lot of danger in it, You might be unlucky and an officer would approach you if you've seen anyone,"You have two choices. Either you mislead them for the fun of it, but I must tell you, if you are caught, I won't move a muscle,""Or you tell them you've not seen anyone. To them, you're just a bystander waiting for something, so they won't suspect you."]Clinton's words rang in Aiden's head, but what rang the most loudly was Clinton's threat. He knew the latter was not joking, so there was a way he was going to play his life."No, I haven't seen anyone," Aiden shook his head, choosing the second option.He would have chosen the first option if it were not for Clinton's threat,"Thank you," The officer nodded and soon left.Aiden breathed a sigh of relief while waiting for Clinton to come, He was already

    “You're here”Richard, a little startled, welcomed Vivienne with a smile, watching as she walked in,Arching her brow with a little smile on her face,"Weren't you the one who asked me to come, so why are you looking surprised," she rolled her eyes at Richard who looked like he was not expecting her."Well..." Richard's mouth twitched not knowing what to say. Indeed, he had told her to come, but he was not expecting her to come this late,The time was far spent as it was almost midnight. Was she planning on sleeping over?It wasn't as though he'd mind, Thinking about this, Richard couldn't help but gulp, and then his eyes fell on Vivienne who moved back rather slowly,"You'd better stop staring at me that way; else I'll be forced to leave," Vivienne threatened, her entire face flushed, while she tried hiding her face with her hair. For a moment, she thought Richard was going to make a move, though his expression disappeared almost in an instant, she could see the lust in his eyes,

    Picking up his phone, Richard dialled Vivienne's number repeatedly, the phone rang a few times, but there was no answer from her end,Richard frowned slightly, seeing this, and then he dialled the number once again.[“This is Duncan, I'm not available to talk right now, please leave a message after the beep”]Hearing this, the crease on Richard's forehead further creased,What the heck was happening? Why wasn't Vivienne picking up his calls? He knew her rather well; even if she was driving, she would stop the car to pick up his calls, or would manage to pick up and inform him about calling back,But now, she was not picking at all which made Richard's suspicion grow.The more he felt this way, the more he was sure that something had happened,After thinking for a while, Richard got into the room, changed into a set of new clothes, and walked out of his prison cell."Sir, should we send a car to you?" One of the guards, a tall, bulky man, asked, seeing Richard heading out,Though he d

    "Sir," Franklyn's voice came from the other end of the phone immediately Richard answered the call,"What did you find out?" Richard questioned, tapping his foot,"Sir, the CCTV of that place has been jammed for about an hour now. I was just now able to recover it” Franklyn answered."Alright then," Richard forcefully suppressed his anger while taking in a deep breath at the same time so he wouldn't explode,"You should go and do your thing," Richard informed him and then ended the call.At the moment, he was so annoyed that it was as though steam would fly out of his head due to the intensity of his anger,Now he has to go back and wait, whoever abducted Vivienne was probably looking for him, so they were sure to call him. Relying on this fact, Richard sat back.It was time to head back to the prison. As for the car, he didn't touch anything on it. The police would be involved in it. After all, the person who had been abducted was their chief,So they would be sure to invest in it,

    "How is it going?" Clinton walked out from the kitchen with two mugs of hot coffee and handed one to Aiden who was typing away on the System,"I'm almost there," Aiden replied, stretching his hands to take the cup of coffee from Clinton."You know I have to create some accounts at the same time making sure that any transaction made there can't be traced," Aiden explained, dropping the mug in his hand while he continued to type,Clinton nodded and didn't say anything, staring at the screen, he couldn't understand even a thing from it. Well, as it wasn't his field, he didn't care much,"Continue to work, when you are tired, make sure to get some rest," Clinton walked towards the sofa and collapsed on it,He was also thinking of how to help Aiden, though he didn't know what Aiden was doing, he should be able to help.This time, there was a rumour that Andrew had found some investors; it was the money deposited by these investors that they were both targeting.As for Richard, he was not t

    The next day came, although it seemed to be overly dragging. Richard was seated on the sofa, his head tilted backwards and with shut eyes,It was as though he was fast asleep, but in reality, Richard was deep in thought as he tried to analyse the situation,Vivienne's abductor requested that he catch him in twenty-four hours, and there was no lead whatsoever,Also, he knew the other party was not just going to let him capture them; analyzing all of these, Richard realized that they were trying to divert his attention.Abducting Vivienne was just a cover-up to whatever they were planning, they knew as long as they abducted her, he would be on his toes and wouldn't be able to think of anything,Upon realization, Richard frowned and sat up, straightening himself up as he opened his eyes he had gone bloodshot and swollen from lack of sleep,He didn't have a wink of sleep the night before, as he was racking his brain, trying to figure out what they wanted, and it was just now he was able

    "Sir!"An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone just as Richard answered the call,"What's wrong?" Richard frowned, a sense of premonition washed over him, knowing well nothing good was about to happen,"There are reporters here saying they want to have an interview with you Sir based on what's going about on the internet lately, saying they've taken permission from the Mayor," the hoarse voice answered,The background was littered with the noises of the reporters who were repeatedly trying to get into the cell,Though they were not allowed to use their cameras as this was against the law, they were still protesting saying the wardens had no right to stop them since the Mayor had already given them a go ahead,Some of them even brought out a letter stamped from the Mayoral office while the wardens blocked them confirming from Richard.If Richard decided to send them back, then they were going to send them back even if they were going to use force,As for their reputation,

    Richard's eyes flashed open observing the reporters walking out of the door, for some reason, he felt something was off when they walked in earlier,Though he couldn't tell what it was, this time around, he didn't dismiss it and was high on alert.The last time he dismissed this kind of premonition was when Vivienne was abducted, there was no way he was going to dismiss this.All of a sudden, Richard's expression suddenly changed, and instantly, he moved his head away from the sofa, tilting it slightly to the left,ThudThe soft sound of a knife tearing into the sofa he was seated on filled his ears, but Richard couldn't care less about that.He had already stood up and headed towards the door at an extremely terrifying speed,Just before the door could close, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the last person, pulling him back into the room before closing the door with a loud bang."Huh?"The reporters froze seeing this scene, glanced at each other, and wanted to say something wh

    (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
