An unknown man walked into the hospital ward where Gloria laid, he walked gently so as not to arouse any suspicion around him..

Gloria tried to see who it was that came into the room, but her weakness couldn't make her see clearly as she only felt dizzy…

She could tell that the person was not Richard nor the Doctor or any nurse..her heart skipped as she saw the person bringing out something from his handbag despite her dizziness… She could bet that the person was here on an evil mission, she couldn't shout as her strength wouldn't even aid her.

She could only shed hot tears, the secret behind Richard's family that she had decided to tell him that day was about to get aborted again… Her body shook when she felt a piercing in her neck, she jerked slowly as the stranger infused a poison-like substance into her vein..

Instantly, she felt numb… the only thing she could feel was her heart beating, all other parts of her body had been rendered useless…

She saw the evil grin the stranger

    "I really want Revenge… you don't expect me to be humiliated by those brick heads and want me to let it go slightly. Never!" Richard snapped,"Calm down Mr. Gray, I understand your plight but don't you think all of this would not be needed much at the end of the day. I mean, come to think of it. What if ….""No, what if please…" Richard shunned him, "I saw my wife lying with another man right on our matrimonial bed. Not just that alone. She stood naked to harass me in front of him, as if that's not enough, even went back to even commit the act before me with no sign of remorse or even guilt…" Richard snapped, breathing heavily as he fumed."I understand your plight Mr. Gray, but you gotta take some steps at a time. I can tell you that even if you move ahead to do what you have against them currently. It'll still be the same result you'll get. Practically no Justice" Alex said,Richard turned at him angrily, squeezing his face."I don't get… What do you mean by 'No Justice'. Currently,

    *****"Have you heard of any name called Talbot""Talbot!!" Richard exclaimed,"I only heard the name once and that was because of a crisis that took place in some city I know nothing about…" Richard replied to his question,"Well, I think you might begin to keep tabs on him now because he's surely one of the people that see through your family's early demise…" Alex noted,Richard twitched his mouth unbelievably,"What connection has he got with Edward then…" he asked,"A lot buddy, a lot to show you that the focus shouldn't be on aiming directly at Edward. It's just like shooting yourself in the leg, no fucking body knows you yet. You can't get justice in such a way."Richard took a deep sigh, his eyes over the TV screen before him.."So, what is the next step now and besides how come you know so much about this. Who are you really?" Richard spoke softly,Alex gave a slight giggle as he looked up at him,"I'm Talbot's nemesis, set to bring him down in all ranges. My investigation of h

He asked, cleaning the balm stain on his cloth with the napkin."No, no….it's fine, it's nothing." Richard smiled, acting weird.Alex squeezed his face again, "You're sure nothing is wrong with that gaze directed at me" he asked again,"Yeah! Nothing, but I only have a problem with you." Richard said, playing with the fork on his plate.Alex raised his head up and motioned him to continue talking…"Your allegations seems true, everything you've stated so far is something I can relate with, but how can I trust you… You don't look like what I need…" Richard said, folding his arms.Alex chuckled slightly, he drank water so it could push down the food lumps in his throat before beginning his speech

    "After all this, you still expect me to put my life in danger more.." He continued, "who knows my life might actually be the next target of course""But, we've not affirmed that those assassin's actually came over there because of you… I was their target" Alex muttered,"Yeah, I know… more reason why I need to stick away from you, cuz the more they see me with you.. the more endangered my life is" Richard reiterated,Alex took a deep sigh, he was right though… His life is in danger truly… Richard noticed his expression and burst into laughter, making Alex wonder why.."C'mon man, I thought you were always acting strong, uhn?" Richard asked,"Sure, I'm strong""Whoa! But the expression I saw just now didn't depict a strong man" Richard burst into laughter again Alex gave a deep sigh, he wasn't quitting after sll…"Relax man, we're talking about my family here… we've come a long way to quit" Richard chuckled, stretching his hand for a shake"Yeah…" Alex smiled, hitting his hand away..

    Alex helped Richard gently to the couch… it took a little while for them to get home regarding the outburst they encountered during the day and the safety of their environment.It was only right and proper for them to spend their night in a hotel… Richard couldn't really explain why he had come to admire Alex so much, that he even had to betray his oath of lying to her personal best friend.."You'd do more better than engaging in deep thoughts brother, you should at least take a rest" Alex said, making Richard give a slight giggle."You have no idea what's in my head right now…" he replied,"Oh! Seems like you have a million dollar head, uhn?" Alex said, the duo bursting in laughter.. "I'm wondering which human has a skull with a brain in it and still claims he has a lot of things in it""C'mon… not that, can't just wrap my head around the attack today..""Well, let's just say I was prepared, though I wasn't thinking it'll come early but thanks to my preparation" Alex jeered,He gentl

They were expecting their boss, they all looked up instantly revealing the presence of their boss who walked in to them."Robert thinks he can mess with me.." the man giggled, he picked up a beretta pistol on the table rubbing his hands on it like a little baby.He was the leader of the top Mafia group in the country, rumor has it that his terrain is the third largest in the world giving him enough manpower to face any bodies or government who infuriates him."Men of the underworld," Talbot says, " This is going to be a huge mission… brace yourself."The men all nod, staring curiously at themselves.

    "Where the fuck are you? Why are you guys driving slowly?’ Jaked yelled,."I think the gasket of the car requires water, sir," the officer replied. ‘We had to get water into it sir"‘You guys should attend to it and meet us in the airport as soon as possible, is that clear?’ Jake ordered,‘Yes sir’ the reply came in a faint voice, the call ended.Jake ended the call and continued to the airport with the team without them, they arrived at the airport early enough.Before they settled in the airport Jake called back to find out about the situation of the car. "Fuck!!" He cursed, angrily. He had gotten a negative reply, no progress had been made, instead they had to look for someone to repair it, it appears the damage was much.Alex's call came in when they got to the arrival hall,at exactly twenty minutes past seven.‘Hello sir" Jake called."Yeah, so how's it going.. is the commissioner over there?"

    "Very well sir" Jake replied with his face down, feeling greatly nervous.‘You didn't just see this, those attackers drove in with you’ Alfred added as he moved closer. ‘You brought them in, you were working together"‘No… Sir, not the way you think’ Jake stammered, almost in tears."What the fuck did you mean by No? We saw it fool’ Alfred stressed, looking suspiciously at Bobby. ‘You brought those guys here, probably you were an accomplice all this while.Jake was speechless, he knew there was no point arguing as his claims were right but not true. He watched the president usher into another car with Alex and he felt the urge to tell them not to pass the same route they did, to avoid any more attacks cuz he's sure this whole thing happened on their way here…‘Can't you fucking talk? Are you insane?’ Alfred yelled angrily, almost pulling out his gun before being cautioned by those around."Alfred…" a man called, "There's really no need for all of that.. we have something pressing to

    Edward squinted his eyes as he tried to make out where he'd seen that face before…Richard noticed his expression and tried to act smart up to distract him. He walked towards him with a cheerful grin."Oh, Mr. Wayne. Nice to finally meet you.." Richard curtsied offering him an handshake,"Nice to finally meet you also, how do you do?" Edward said flatly, looking deep into his face as he accepted his hands in his."I'm doing well…" Richard caught his eyes, scouting all over me as he adjusted himself, slightly feeling uncomfortable as he tried removing his hands.Edward noticed this and quickly adjusted himself also, smiling at him and quickly released his hands."I'm sorry, sir…" Edward said, cheerfully. "I thought you'd be at the meeting hall with others…" "Oh, no. I'd check that out later, besides I already sent out my team to do that…" Richard responded,If Edward had not seen his picture and his nature on the internet earlier, he would have concluded this was not the man he was ex

    Chadwick paced around the room, wondering what to do.Merlin and Belinda were already walking towards the office with two other white men behind, giving comments on what they were discussing.He couldn't come out of the office that way since he was in there and he would be questioned.He quickly arranged the files back, the way he met them and sorted them gradually before thinking of how he'd get out.He tiptoed silently to the entrance, trying to get hint of what they are discussing about,"Yeah, we gotta make arrangements with the city media on Friday and we must make it known to them that this would be on our terms now…" Merlin said, turning round to address them as he handed his hand bag to Belinda."Yeah, but Mr. Merlin, is this not going to reach the CEOs hearing, I mean he gotta give his consent on this, I guess. To at least instigate more support from the public" one of the white men said,Merlin chuckled a bit, snapping his fingers together."I understand your point, we truly

Choosing a bass music, he played it.The music began on a slow intro and Alex took it away, he selected another music.Not seeing the ones he liked, he went back to the music he played first and increased the volume of the music.Midway to the music, the beat instantly became loud, kolting Richard out of his sleep as he looked around.Alex let out a wide laugh as he looked at Richard.
