"I will see you again, friend," Bastion said as he shook Jason's hands. By then I can assure you that Rat Raf would have paid by then. He has one more thing to pay for now. Taking me away from my baby at this time" He said before he entered the car, which one of his flannel-shirt-dressed men opened for him. "Wait, Bastion has a baby? Or does he mean his woman?" Jason thought randomly as he headed towards his car. Then he scoffed at himself as he thought "And you care because?" He shook his head at himself. "What matter is that Raf would pay" "Then I would be able to get rid of this unnecessary anxiety for life," he said aloud as he pressed the button on his keypad to unlock his car. Bastion didn't check the list of how many mafia lords looked and acted. For example, his men were always dressed in casual wears, looking like laidback, regular guys, until you see them in action, of course. Which had happened when a drunk had gotten too close to their table in the deli where they met.

“Lemonade please” Anastasia requested the moment they got to the restaurant and a waiter came to them. “What?” she asked with an innocent smile when Liam gave her a weird look. “Lemonade? Seriously? In a spot like this?” he asked. “Call me weird but lemonade has always been my pick-me-up drink when I am tired, sad or even doing a pity party” she returned unapologetically. “Hmm, you are full of surprises, Ana” Liam said with an appreciative look. "But I am sure that you won’t get “lemon aide” at a place like this. They will be expecting the ladies to ask for wine, you know. Not…sorry to say, kiddies drinks” “Then they don’t deserve all the hype” Anastasia responded. Then she turned to the waiter “Is that true?” “Actually…” the waiter started sheepishly “I am sure I can get you that” the waiter said. "Would you like to order your meal now?” “No, thank you. I will do that after I have my drink” she responded. “Right. Lemonade” the waiter repeated. Then he looked at Liam “What can

Assured that he was not being held as a suspect, but they were just doing their job according to protocol; Jason finally explained to the police officers how he had known that Millicent might be in trouble. He told them about Victoria’s call and the fact that he thought; that this might be connected to Khan Maal.The police officers looked at each other in surprise and the look on their faces was not just of surprise; but of disbelief as well. They did not believe that theory. Everybody knew Khan Maal after all and it would take more than just a foreigner’s words for them to believe the most philanthropic, influential man in their country might not be so generous after all.They promised to get to the bottom of the case before they left. “I am sure that your wife will be fine, Mr Monroe,” the female police officer said before they left. Oddly, she reminded him of Celia. That thought seemed to be an eye-opener and he remembered that he had not contacted anyone at home since he got to T

The Deadly Duo got to the hospital around 4 am in the night. Jason was seated, wide-eyed beside Millicent when they arrived. He explained the stats to them. They were also amazed that Khan Maal had called him.“Do you really think he might be so stupid that he would call you even after doing this?” Simon asked.“Well, psychos have been known to do a lot of things and this is something that a psycho would do. So, yeah, he could make the call despite knowing the consequence. It could be to gloat or just to show that he has the upper hand. The question is, why would he even do this? Your wife doesn’t strike me like someone who goes about making vindictive enemies” Andrea said, with her eyes on Millicent. “Are you sure she didn’t remember what got her here?” “Positive. She vaguely remembers every other thing. But I don’t think she remembers even getting back to the hotel not to talk of what happened in there. That part is blank for her. I can’t force her to remember, you know. She keeps

"You've got this, Ana. I mean you are so efficient that you put me to shame at times. Who else could pull that off despite the time limit? And look, we still have almost forty-five minutes to go" Phils said as he checked his Rolex watch while practically running out of the company to catch up with Anastasia, as she hurried towards her car. He was dressed in his typical Ken style. Lime colour, pants and suit jacket, flowery-patterned shirt and jade-coloured shoes."Well, tell me that after I have finally bagged this for the company," Anastasia said as she unlocked her car. Her cream-coloured suit and skirt with simple yet expensive, black, shoes exuded confidence and understated class.She tossed the key at Phil's "Please, drive. I need to still go through my keynotes" Anastasia said as she got into the passenger seat.Phils smiled and said "You are the best, Ana. If I was wired that way, I could kiss you right now. Then I will ask you to marry me. That way, I get to sit on the couch fo
