And tomorrow, the people of this city will show you just how much they reject your corruption and greed. You're going down, Jackson. And I'm going to make sure of it."“You…”Jackson's face reddened with anger, his voice rising. "You're just a foolish little man, Thompson! Do you think you can take me down? I have the entire police department in my pocket! I own this city!"“Funny how you put it,” Thompson's smile was cold, his eyes glinting with determination. "But not for much longer, Jackson. And as for your pockets, well...let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve. You see, I've been preparing for this moment for a long time. And tomorrow, the people will speak. And you will be silenced."“Instead of you to take my offer, you don’t know what’s coming your way.” Jackson's face twisted with rage, his voice t
Officer Thompson stepped out of the car and onto the curb in front of the soup parlor, a small, unassuming building with a faded sign creaking in the gentle breeze. He adjusted his hat and surveyed the area, his eyes scanning the bustling streets before focusing on the parlor's entrance.Inside, the parlor was warm and cozy, the aroma of simmering soups and freshly baked bread enveloping him like a hug. Thompson's stomach growled in anticipation as he made his way to the back of the parlor, where Jackson was already seated, a charming smile spreading across his face."Officer Thompson! Thanks for joining me," Jackson said, his voice warm and inviting, his hands extended in greeting.Thompson's eyes narrowed slightly as he did shook Jackson's hand, Jackson smile flattened as his opened hand suddenly closed. "Jackson. What's this about? What game are you about to play at me? Why have you called me here, to a soup parlor."He looked around and Jackson waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, ju
At Madmus building Ava leaned back in her office chair, her eyes fixed intently on Stanley. "Tell me more, Stanley. What exactly is Jackson planning?"Stanley's expression was grave. "He's trying to buy his way into the governor's seat, Ava. He's offering large sums of money to influential people, trying to sway their support in his favor."Ava's eyes narrowed. "And what about the others? The ones who aren't so easily swayed by his money? I mean, he’s going up against me in the upcoming election, isn’t he thinking that it’s impossible for him to win? How much people is he ready to buy?"Stanley hesitated before speaking. "He's using other tactics, Ava. He's digging up dirt on his opponents, trying to discredit them. And...he's also using his charm, trying to win people over with his charisma."Ava's mind raced as she processed the information. She knew Jackson's tactics all too well, having been on the receiving end of them during their marriage. She felt a surge of anger and determi
Just as the argument was about to escalate further, Ava who appeared to be ears dropping in the corridor, stepped in a look of concern on her face. "What's going on here?" she asked, her eyes darting between Lisa and Amelia.Amelia's expression suddenly transformed into a bright smile. "Oh, Ava! You’re here! Hi! Lisa and I were just catching up. No issue here."Lisa's eyes narrowed, her face still flushed with anger. "That's not true, Ava. Amelia and I were having a disagreement about you."“About me?” Ava's eyes widened, her gaze flicking between the two women. "What kind of disagreement?"Amelia's voice was sweet as honey. "Nothing important, Ava. Just a misunderstanding. Lisa and I are fine."Lisa's eyes rolled. "Don't believe her, Ava. She's hiding something from you."Ava's face was a picture of confusion, her eyes searching for answers. "What's going on, guys? Tell me the truth."Amelia's grip on Lisa's arm tightened, her voice low and menacing in her ear. "Behave, Lisa."Lisa'
The aged woman, Mrs. Gloria Timberlake, sat in her opulent office, her eyes gleaming with malevolence as she listened to the update from her henchman."I see," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "So, Richardson's men intervened, did they? Well, it's too late for William now. He would have been dead by now, anyway."Her laughter was cold, mirthless, and sent shivers down the spine. She cut the call, her eyes gleaming with triumph.Just then, the door opened, and Jackson, her nephew, entered the room. "Aunty," he said, his voice cautious.Mrs. Timberlake turned around, her face transforming into a warm smile. "Ah, Jackson, dear boy. Come, come. I have some wonderful news to share with you."Her eyes sparkled with malice, and Jackson's instincts told him to be wary. But he approached her, unaware of the sinister plot unfolding in her mind.Mrs. Timberlake's eyes gleamed with malice as she spoke. "William was stubborn, Jackson. I wasn't able to extract much from him, but I did learn
After a few hours, Ava emerged from the bathroom, her skin radiant and her hair damp. The towel was wrapped around her chest, clinging to her curves and leaving little to the imagination. Luke's eyes widened as he stared at her, his gaze fixed on the tantalizing glimpse of her cleavage.Ava noticed his gaze and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you still in the room, Luke?" she asked her voice firm but laced with a hint of amusement.Luke stammered, "I-I don't have a booked room. I was just... um... waiting for you to finish."Ava's eyes narrowed. "You expect me to believe that? Go stay in Stanley's room. Do you think you're going to sleep in this room with me? There's only one bed unless you plan on sleeping on the floor."Luke's face flushed as he realized his mistake. He quickly gathered his things and made a hasty exit, leaving Ava to her solitary occupancy of the room. As he was about to exit, Ava stopped him, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Where are you going, Luke? I'm just kiddin
Ava tore up, her voice shaking as she explained to Luke how she was scared and felt like she was going to die. "I thought I was going to die, Luke. I thought I was never going to see you again. The two men Stanley sent to protect me were taken down, and I was alone. I was so scared."Luke's face softened, and he teased her, "Ava, you're a tough cookie. You can handle anything, not like you to shiver like this."But Ava just started crying again, her body shaking with sobs. Luke's expression immediately turned apologetic, and he pulled her into a tight hug. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to make light of it. You're safe now. I've got you."Ava buried her face in his chest, her tears soaking his shirt. Luke held her close, stroking her hair and whispering words of comfort. "You're safe, Ava. I promise. I won't let anything happen to you."As they stood there, the rain pouring down around them, Ava felt a sense of relief wash over her. She was safe. She was with Luke. And everything was g
Luke's eyes narrowed, confusion etched on his face. "What do you mean Ava is missing? wasn't she with you?"Stanley's expression was grim. "We were tracking William's phone signal, and Ava suggested we split up to cover more ground. I sent two men with her, but we lost contact. I've tried calling her and the men with her, but there's been no response."Luke's face darkened. His heart started to pound in fear as his mind started to wonder where Ava might be and if she was alright. "You mean you let her go off on her own, and now she's gone missing?"Stanley's jaw clenched. "It wasn't like that, Luke. We had a plan, and she was with two of my best men. Something must have gone wrong."Luke's voice rose. "Something went wrong? That's an understatement! Find her, Stanley. Find her now."Stanley's eyes flashed with determination. "I will, Luke. I promise you that. We'll leave no stone unturned until we find Ava and the men with her." "Keep me updated, Stanley. I want to know the moment
Luke's phone vibrated, disrupting the intense discussion with his business partners. He ignored it, focusing on the deal at hand. But the phone persisted, ringing again mere seconds later. This time, Luke excused himself, his expression apologetic."Gentlemen, please, forgive me. I need to take this."He stepped away, answering the call with a curt "Luke Richardson speaking."Stanley's voice was tight with urgency. "Luke, it's Stanley. We have a problem."Luke's brow furrowed. "What is it, Stanley? What do you want?"The pause on the other end was brief but weighted with significance."Ava is missing."Luke raises his eyes, and panick sets in. 5 hours ago...Ava and Stanley huddled in the cyber room, surrounded by screens and wires. The team of experts worked swiftly, tracking William's phone signal."Ma'am, we've found him," one of the cyber experts announced, turning to Ava."He's at the old warehouse on 5th and Main. He's been there for about an hour. We're detecting two other sig
