“W—What?!” Jain asked dumbfounded.

It was either Stanley was playing mind games with her or he was being dead serious. Considering he was holding a loaded gun on her forehead, she was going to take the latter as an answer.

“That’s right, Jain,” he replied, looking at her phone.

He threw it on the floor and landed his foot on it, smashing it into pieces. Jain shrieked as he watched him. He was getting turned up.

“Now let’s go inside.”

Jain was hesitant, but as he pointed the gun at her forehead, she froze. Jain could feel the cold barrel touch her skin. And then, she knew Stanley was kidding. She raised her hand in surrender and turned around slowly, heading towards the digital room once more.

“That’s right. I was the one who killed your daughter, Hope. I was hired by Carlos Borges to do so. You know, I never thought I could take the life of an innocent child. When I stared into those familiar silver eyes of yours, it reminded me of the look your daughter had when she saw the barr

    Williams was pacing the room as he thought of what to do next. Rylan didn’t listen to him, and he feared that. Could he go out and stop Lana from doing something so stupid? Did she even know where to find Stanley? He had recently discovered that Jain was at the warehouse. Could there be a possibility that Stanley was there with her?The only thing Williams could do now was hope. If Stanley was there with Jain, then there was a possibility that Rylan was walking into a trap. How was he going to get out of there unscathed? He didn’t know, but he hoped that he would make it back alive. Arlene was going to kill him if Rylan ended up dead. She didn’t know much about what they were doing. That was why Rylan had been glad when she had moved back to New York. Keeping her in the dark was the best option. It kept her out of harm’s way. But now Rylan was in a lot of danger, and there was nothing he could do about it. Just as he was pacing around the room, a figure stepped into the room and Wil

    Lieutenant Wesley could only watch as the paramedics wheeled Miss Lopez’s body away. Tonight had been a very weird night. Just moments after pronouncing Miss Lopez dead, he had gotten word that Melissa, the records keeper was also in critical condition. The only thing that was keeping him optimistic was the fact that the paramedics had said she was still alive. There were so many questions running through his mind, as he watched the ambulance rush away. Who would do such a thing? It had to be the serial killer. But how was the serial killer able to walk into the station without being noticed and inflict so much damage? Lieutenant Wesley felt so useless. There was nothing he could have done. He hoped that Stanley and Jain would have solved the case before the killer struck again, but he was wrong. They had failed him, and they had lost two critical members of the forces. As he attempted to step back into the precinct, a black Audi swerved recklessly into the parking lot which caught

    A black Lamborghini arrived at the driveway of Tristan’s house and came to a halt. The door opened and Rylan stepped out of the car. He was hoping that he was late. Jain was somewhere in here and so was Stanley. He bet that Stanley hid her somewhere. This was a trap, and he was walking right into it but Rylan didn’t care. He had to save Jain. He had made a promise to her, he was going to keep that promise. Rylan got back into his car and pulled out the drawer on the dashboard. In there were two .40 glocks and a black mask. Rylan pulled out the mask and picked out only one of the glocks. He wondered if it was okay to wear the mask. Stanley should have known he was coming by now, so there was no need to hide his face. But it could be an element of surprise. Rylan shoved the .40 Glock into his inner suit pocket and wore the mask. He was ready now. All he had to do was get in there and save Jain. It sounded so waxy, but Rylan knew it wasn’t. This was just like that time he had saved La

    He didn’t need to be told twice. Rylan rolled away from Jain and rose to his feet pointing his gun at the figure that had been behind him. It was Stanley who was also pointing his gun at him. Stanley chuckled as he saw the mask on his face. He took his gun away from Rylan and lowered it to Jain’s face. Rylan’s heart skipped a beat. “Take off the mask, Rylan. I already know it’s you.” Rylan sighed and took off the mask from his face, dropping it on the floor. Stanley laughed as he saw his face. Jain who looked up at him now was glad that he was here. She had never been more happy to see Rylan. But it seemed it would be hard for the both of them to get out of this one. “Rylan Daystar. Who would have ever thought?”“Let her go, Stanley.”Stanley chuckled at his words. “And why should I do that?”Rylan’s eyes went to Jain. Her platinum blonde hair was scattered across her face, and her silver eyes indicated she was stressed. He wondered how long she had been in that position. Stan

    “Surprise!” Lana said with a nefarious smile. Rylan was trying to put the pieces together, but they couldn’t converge. It looked like a dream. Lana had the gun pointed at his head. He was too stunned to think straight. How was this possible?Lana’s eyes went to Stanley who seemed to have been knocked out. His body lay across the room motionless and she feared that it was dead. “How?” Rylan asked. Lana chuckled as she heard that. She was happy that Rylan was surprised about this. She had almost given herself away earlier today. It was Williams who had saved her surprisingly. The only man who had suspected her from the beginning had saved her ass. Rylan recalled Stanley’s words a few minutes ago. He had made mention of a surprise. If Lana was the surprise then he was indeed surprised. He had thought that Stanley had been playing tricks with him. Jain was also flabbergasted by this. How had Lana been on the wrong side all this whole and she didn’t suspect a thing? Lana had played al

    Her father being cryptic was nothing out of the ordinary, but tonight was different. Karen couldn't understand a thing he was saying. If it was regret, she could smell it all over him. He had lost everything he worked hard for. The company was gone and was now under the control of Carlos Borges. It was only a matter of time before it was official. Karen blamed herself for this. She had been selfish from the beginning. Her hatred for Rylan had cost the family a lot. Now her father had lost the company. The company he had been trying hard to keep. She had told him to hand over the company to Rylan in the hope that she was going to get it back at the end. But that had been in vain. “What do you mean?” She asked. Frederick chuckled as he glanced at his watch. He knew they were coming for him. The only thing on his mind was how long it was going to take. He appeared calm even though he knew he wasn’t going to get out of her scott-free. It had taken him a lot of time to understand. “Kar

    Stanley Rogers woke up with a splitting headache. He groaned and held his cheek as he tried to track what happened, but anytime he tried to think, his brain ached. He looked around and realized that he was somewhere strange. He was in a room lying on the floor, and to his left was a bunch of huge monitor screens. It was then that it hit him. He was at Tristan’s house. Then everything came flooding back. He had caught Jain and was about to kill her when Rylan arrived. He had them where he wanted them, but everything changed in a flash. Rylan had bundled him to the ground and had knocked him out. The last thing he could remember was his fist smashing against his cheekbone. He winced in pain as he recalled that. Stanley rose from the floor and found Rylan and Jain pinned to a wall. He looked at the figure standing before them and smiled. It was Lana Pierce. She had arrived just in the Nick of time. He feared that he had messed up the plan, but lama had saved his ass. Carlos wouldn’t ha

    Detective Jain Reynolds looked at the body of Stanley Rogers lying motionless on the floor with half of his brains spread before his corpse. He was finally gone. The man who had killed her daughter and had made her life miserable. She hadn’t been able to pull the trigger. She had been given the opportunity by Rylan, but she had failed. Stanley would have killed her if Rylan hadn’t acted faster. She owed him her life twice in one night. Her eyes went to him who was still holding the gun and looking down at the body of her partner. It seemed he was trying to digest the fact that he had killed him. But that didn’t mean anything. They were both safe, and that was soon what mattered. It turns out that working with Rylan had been the best plan she could come up with. Rylan finally looked up at Jain. He still was in disbelief. Jain had a clear shot at Stanley but she couldn’t bring herself to kill him. After working for so many years searching for her daughter’s killer she couldn’t bring h

    VENICE, ITALY6 MONTHS LATER. “Stay away from me!” The man yelled as he ran through the dim streets for shelter. Behind him, a man dressed in a black suit with a black mask was running after him. In his hand was an FN 5’7. The man in black pursued him endlessly. When the Italian man stopped for shelter, he pulled out his gun from the pockets of his leather jacket and aimed at the man in black. “Rylan. Watch out,” Williams called in his ear. “Holy shit!” Rylan yelled on his breath as the man pointed the gun in his direction. Two shots were fired and Rylan managed to dodge the bullets before they could hit him. “Are you sure this is our guy?” Rylan asked. “Affirmative. Dominic De Rossi,” Williams replied through the comms. “I just hope you’re right.”“When have I ever been wrong?”Rylan rolled his eyes and fired back at Dominic. The shot whizzed past Dominic’s head and he scrambled to his feet immediately. Rylan saw this and decided to go after him. They were on the main stre

    “They let you in?” Jain asked. “Of course they would.”Jain sighed and drank her cappuccino. They were both seated at a table in the cafe. It was at their favorite spot—the table by the window. It had been two days since Rylan had spoken to Frederick. He could still remember the shock on his face when he told him he had forgiven him. It wasn’t something that Frederick had expected. Frederick was aware that he despised him, but there was no need to keep that grudge anymore. The battle had been won. The best thing he could do now was move on and that was ok his agenda. Jain shook her head in disbelief. She was baffled that they would let Rylan into the prison to speak to Frederick McCullough. Well, he was Rylan Daystar. “So what did you tell him?”Rylan lifted his cup of cappuccino and took a sip from it. His eyes went to the parking lot outside the window. The morning sun washed all the cars there with its glorious light including his black Audi. “I told him that I forgave him.”Ja

    The door opened and a figure dressed in suit stepped into the facility. The sounds of footsteps echoed through the hallway as the figure made its way toward the door. When it arrived, a guard was waiting by the door who was heavily armed. He opened the door and stepped forward. He had a grim look on his face. “Welcome, Mr. Daystar.”Rylan smiled at him and shoved his hands into his pockets. “Where is he?” He asked. “Waiting for you, sir.”Rylan nodded and stepped forward. He was in a prison facility, one of the most dreaded in the country. Rylan was here to see someone special to him. He would call it a mockery, but there was something he would love to say. This was the last thing on his bucket list before he could tag this mission as a success. They arrived at a room and the guard opened the door for Rylan. Inside the dimly lit room, a figure was sitting at a table dressed in orange. Rylan clenched his jaws and stepped into the room. He turned back to the guard who was still sta

    “I thought we were going to head back home?” Jain asked as they headed into their Airbnb. “Well, Los Angeles is a two-hour flight back, and my pilots are off duty for the night,” Rylan said, closing the door behind them. Jain sighed and rubbed her neck nervously. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been in a room alone with a man. That had been with Jacob; five years ago. Rylan took off his suit jacket and hung it on the cloth rag before folding his undershirt. “If this makes you uncomfortable I could get a different room for myself.”Jain turned to him. “You could do that?” She asked. “I mean, there’s no need for that.”Rylan arched an eyebrow at her as he folded his sleeve once more. “Okay. If you say so.”Jain nodded and proceeded to the fireplace. She was gazing at the crackling fire as she held her shoulders. It brought her soothing warmth. There was a center table in the small living room and on it was a bucket of ice with a bottle of champagne sitting in it. “Wou

    WASHINGTON D.CRylan dropped his fork and reached for his napkin dapping his lips softly. Jain who was watching him had a glass of red wine in her hand. They were surrounded by people who also stayed in an expensive diner. One only Jain could dream of having. Rylan had changed her perspective on things over the last few days. She had managed to see the world through another pair of lenses; the expensive kind. Jain never knew that Rylan could be such a sweet person. She could vividly remember the first day she had met him. She and Stanley had been trying to solve the shootout that seemed to have happened to his club. When she had first laid eyes on him, she knew he was trouble. From the way he talked and moved, she assumed that he was as narcissistic and arrogant as the rest of all the billionaires in Los Angeles. But now as she sat across from him in an expensive diner, she couldn’t believe that she had been wrong the whole time. She had missed judging him, and that was fine by him

    The party was lavish. There were lots of special dignitaries who filled the scene. The paparazzi wouldn’t stop flashing their cameras at them. This was the biggest party in the city. It was an awards party which would explain why there were so many famous people. A black Lamborghini arrived at the scene and halted on the red carpet. The door lifted and a figure stepped out of the car. It was Rylan Daystar who was dressed in a charcoal black suit with floral patterns and a shawl which was tied at his waist. He looked like a Frenchman. He moved to the other side of the car and opened the door. A woman stepped out of the car all dressed in a white gown. It was Jain, and she had a new look. Her platinum blonde hair which was always long was cut short now making her look dangerously beautiful. Rylan smiled as he watched her close the door of the Lamborghini. A valet came forward and Rylan threw the key to him. “Make sure you take good care of her.”“Yes sir,” the valet said, getting in

    Rylan opened the door and stepped into the house. He had a grim look on his face. Arlene, who was seated on the couch engrossed with the television, looked up and saw him walk in. She immediately turned off the television and smiled at him. “Rylan. You’re back.”Rylan nodded. “Mom I’d like for you to meet someone,” he said standing aside from the door. Arlene raised an eyebrow at this. “Come in,” Rylan appeared to be speaking to the door until a figure stepped into the room.As Arlene saw the figure, she immediately flashed back. There was no way this was happening. He was real, and he was still alive. He was Paul Richmond. Arlene tried to speak but no words could converge. Paul looked at her and smiled. “Hey, Arlene,” he greeted. Arlene tried to look away but she couldn’t. His voice brought back so many memories. Like when Lauren had first told her that she was pregnant die him. Or when he had tried to combine her right outside the Vice chancellor’s office to come with him. Th

    “I’m telling you son, the Los Angeles Angels might win this,” Paul said as he stepped out of Rylan’s Lamborghini. “Well, I hope you’re right, Dad. Because I have put a lot into this,” Rylan said, shutting the door of the car. Paul came to his son and wrapped his hand around his shoulder. “Trust me, son. You’ll see.”Rylan scoffed and they walked towards the entrance of the stadium. They had their seats reserved in the executive box. Rylan was here to watch his football team win the title. He was supposed to be here with Leah, but she told him she had some other pressing business to attend to. And so he decided to go with his father instead. There were now a few things left for Rylan before he could cross off his bucket list. Everything was going according to plan. “I saw you receiving the key to the city,” Paul said. “I couldn’t be more proud of you, Rylan.”Rylan turned to him. “You saw that? How?”Paul chuckled and patted his shoulders. “I was there.”Rylan’s eyes almost bul

    “Do you have jitters?” Detective Jain Reynolds asked. Rylan turned to surprise. “Of course not.”“Well, you’ve been talking about your thigh for the last two minutes.”“I’m just anxious.”Jain turned to him. “About what?”Rylan kept silent for a few minutes to think about it. “About this, I guess?”Jain scoffed at his words. “You’ve been in front of a crowd a million times. This is the same thing.”“Well not exactly. I’ve never been in front of a crowd filled with police officers.”Jain laughed at his words. “Rylan Daystar is being intimidated by a crowd of police officers. Who would have thought?”Rylan rolled his eyes and placed his hands before him. They were both standing in a room alone. In a few minutes, they would be taken outside to be handed the key to the city. Rylan wasn’t exactly sure why he was there. When Jain had first told him about this at the cafe? He quickly declined the offer. The city saw him as a hero. But he wasn’t. He had so many flaws that would prevent
