Xavier was seated in the interrogation room, with his hands restrained and attached to the table. The faint light created elongated shadows on his face, emphasizing the seriousness in his gaze. He understood that this opportunity to meet with the commissioner was his final chance for freedom, and he was determined not to waste it.Maxwell, the attorney, had assured him that the commissioner would come and see him. He had placed the required phone calls, and all they could do was be patient. Time passed slowly, but Xavier stayed composed, his thoughts filled with strategies and backup plans.Accompanied by two officers, Commissioner Graham entered the room as the door made a creaking sound.

We're simply waiting for your approval."Xavier glanced around the room, experiencing a resurgence of control. Well. We start moving early in the morning. I desire for this to be completed rapidly and without making any noise. "Do not make any errors."Xavier sat down and poured himself a drink while his men spread out to complete the preparations. He understood that this was merely the start. The commissioner was an important friend; however, he also required supervision. He couldn't afford to trust.At the same time, Miller and his team were getting ready for their next step. They were aware of Xavier being released and were resolved not to allow him to escape again."We must target him where it will cause the most damage," Miller exclaimed, his tone expressing strong resolve.

Alex immediately went to see Lawrence, his father's friend, to talk about the recent development. Lawrence had been left in the dark ever since Agent Miller came into the picture. Entering the grand mansion, Alex was met by a smile from Lawrence. "Hello, son, how are you doing?" Lawrence beamed with a smile. "I heard you had Xavier caught. Good job, son. I am sure your parents must be very proud of you." He said he was looking at the wine rack. Alex frowned a little, making Lawrence uncomfortable. "What is it?" He asked, coming to his with two glass cups and a bottle of wine."Xavier was freed." Alex is lying down on the sofa with his legs crossed. Dropping the class cup of wine, he looked at Alex in the face. "Wha do you mean free? I thought the FBI had some information they were working with. How could they allow a criminal like Xavier to roam about?" Lawrence's anger set in."I am not sure how he did it, but the commissioner of police came directly to the station to order his rel

Alex arrived at Naomi's graduation while still thinking about the discussion he had with Lawrence during the drive. The concept of murdering Xavier seemed drastic, yet Lawrence's points had made a lasting impact. While maneuvering through the busy streets, he found himself pondering the enigmatic passing of Anthony Bailey. He couldn't rid himself of the belief that solving this puzzle was crucial to all.When Alex arrived at the university, he parked his car and joined the crowd of proud parents and students.

Alex crept towards the voices, his heart pounding in his chest. He strained to hear the conversation, hoping to catch any useful information. As he approached the door of the small office, he could make out two distinct voices—one of them belonged to Victor Santos."This is getting out of hand, Victor," an unfamiliar voice said, frustration evident in his tone. "Xavier's growing more paranoid every day. He thinks everyone is out to get him.""He's not wrong," Victor replied, his voice low and gravelly. "But if we can keep Ruby's death hidden and the commissioner happy, we might still come out on top."Alex's pulse quickened at the mention of Ruby. He edged closer, careful not to make any noise. He needed to hear more."What about Anthony Bailey?" the other man asked. "His death has stirred up a lot of attention. The FBI is all over us.""Bailey was a loose end," Victor said dismissively. "Xavier couldn't risk him talking. But now we've got another problem—Alex. He's been sniffing arou

Alex couldn't rid himself of the unease caused by Victor's lingering threats. He was aware that they needed to take action promptly and decisively. Xavier was a strong opponent, and capturing Victor could be the only way to defeat him. Furthermore, the discovery of Ruby remained elusive. Alex was aware that all signs were indicating Xavier's guilt, but he wanted to confirm.Agent Miller falsely accused him, leading to almost losing his job, with the added impact of the police commissioner supporting Xavier.

Alex knew he couldn't run the business and, at the same time, follow up on what was going on around him. He decided to reach out to his aunt, whom he trusted to take care of the family business. "Hello, Aunt," Alex said, beaming with a smile. "Alex Davis. It's been a while." Miranda Holmes said it with a smile etched on her face. It had been a while since she had seen him; it was after the death of John Davis and when the will was read at everyone's hearing. Miranda had been pleased with how John Davis had shared his last testament. Everyone knew Alex was equal to the task, and the property was his by right. "To what do I owe the pleasure, Alex?" Miranda crossed her leg as the smoke of cigarettes came out of her mouth. "Aunt, I want you to come and head the company for a while. I have been too busy supervising other things."

Why didn't you show me this, Alex?"Agent Miller asked with a furrowed eyebrow. "I am sorry; I actually showed this to Andrew, but he said it was nothing." Alex replied with his hand akimbo. All the staff were sad to see that Alex was in a sad mood. They all knew Andrew was like family to him. "He is going to be fine, Alex. I am sure Agent Miller and Alice would make sure he is." Miranda said soothingly, Alex ***************************************************************Andrew opened his eyes and looked around to familiarise himself with the place he was. His vision was hazy as he tried to see who was standing in front of him. "It is good to have you in my midst, John Davis." Sandra said it with a wide grin.

Paulina and Naomi were now back in the country when they heard Alex was captured by Xavier. "You did it, cousin." Miranda said with her eyes, showing she was proud of him. "I am sure your father will be able to rest now, seeing that you have accomplished what he started." Alex smiled, looking at Naomi and Paulina. "Can we go back to Miami now?"

Richard tied a cloth around the gunshot wound on his leg. "Get back out there and find me, Xavier. He is going to pay for what he has done." Spy looked at his face. "Are you going to be alright?" He asked with a worried look on his face. "Just find me, Xavier. That is all I want." Richard ordered Spy and his men walked out of the room, leaving Richard alone to treat himself. Richard walked gently towards the first aid box as blood dropped on the floor following him. He grabbed the kit, swearing under his breath.

Xavier picked up his phone and looked at Claire. "Make sure he doesn't go anywhere." He said it with a stern look on his face. Claire looked at him with disdain and wondered why she would be receiving orders from a man who killed her father. "What are you doing here, Claire?" Alex looked up to meet her gaze. "I am going to kill him." She replied sharply, looking at Alex, who was tired."Listen to me, Claire; whatever you think of doing has to stop. Get the police and let them know where I am." Alex looked at her, but she was bent on having things done her own way. "Don't tell me what to do, Alex. We are not a couple any more, remember?" Claire snapped The pain of losing her mother and father at the same time was unbearable. Perhaps the Wills deserved everything that was coming their way. Xavier walked back into the house. "We are having companies soon," he said with a smirk."Remind me, how did you know I was here once again?" Xavier asked and looked at Claire. "I was at the orph

Victor was just packing his things when he heard a gentle knock at the door. "Hello, who is it?" He said he was gently walking towards the door with his pistol. The door was kicked down by Joe's kick, and he was standing face-to-face with Victor. "Who are you, and what audacity do you have to kick down my door?" Victor shouted at him. " Me?" Joe asked, looking back to see if Victor was really talking down on him. "Are you Victor?" Joe asked, dipping his hand into his jacket. Victor quickly pointed the gun at him and said, "II will gun you down if you try reaching for your pocket." "You have got some balls." Joe replied, bringing out the picture to confirm if he was really standing before Victor. "You do know that everyone who betrayed Xavier Richmond doesn't leave to tell the story, so why do you?" Joe asked, and before he could finish his statement, Victor shot at him. Joe was fast; he managed to dodge the bullet and looked at Victor. "Well, you ain't as dumb as I think. Here is wh

"Paulina has the document." Alex said it with a happy face. "That is good, but don't tell me you are going to give the documents to Xavier." Andrew's face turned pale. The two men stopped talking and looked at themselves. "I haven't thought much about it. I think the fake document you gave me might come in handy, but then what would you do if Xavier knew it was a fake? Then I would be risking the children's lives for a piece of paper." Alex replied "Listen to me, Alex Davis, that document isn't just any document, and it is definitely not a piece of paper. It is a lineage of business passed to your grandfather and was supposed to pass to your father and then finally to you. The document is the secret of mining and how to make your business excel. I think you need to decide what you're finally going to do with it when it gets back into your hand." Andrew advised as he stepped outside his study room. Alex sighed, knowing what Andrew said was true. He needed a plan that could work witho

"Who has it?" Paulina asked, looking at her face. "Simon does." Henrietta replied. "Where are you meeting with him, or is this just another plan of yours?" Paulina looked at her face. The tension was high as they took their seats. Paulina immediately took out her phone and called Alex. "I think you might need to stall for some time, or better yet, come down to Maimi. It looks like Henrietta doesn't have the documents." Alex rubbed his hands over his hair gently as he listened to everything Paulina was saying. "I can't come down to Maimi at the moment. I need to sort out what is going on here." Alex replied "What about Henrietta?" Alex added "She is right here with me." Paulina replied, passing the phone to her. Henrietta shook as Alex spoke to her, and Paulina looked at her and wondered what Alex said to her. The line was cut off: "I can help you find him." Henrietta looked at Paulina. "You mean Simon?" "Yes, I know where he might be hiding." Henrietta said this again, looking a
