“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

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

Dayton Veeschoris drummed his hands on the dashboard impatiently as they headed toward Tristan’s house. He was scared that they were too late and that something bad had happened to Rylan. Maybe he was dead already and Stanley was on the run. Dayton dreaded that. He hated that such a thought came into his mind. Lieutenant Wesley who was driving as fast as he could was growing impatient with Dayton drumming the dashboard. It was disrupting his focus. If what he heard was true, then Stanley was a criminal. Lieutenant Wesley still had his doubts. To be honest, he hadn’t believed the words he had said to him until they got to Frederick’s house. When Frederick didn’t try to resist, it was only then he came out shocked. Frederick was in one of the cars following them as they headed towards Beverly Hills. It was 2 am, and Lieutenant Wesley hadn’t predicted his day to turn out this way. He had hoped that it would be another lazy day, and it had just been that until he had heard the news of M

“You’re okay,” Jain said as Rylan came towards her. He flashed her a warm smile and she could feel her stomach churn in response. “Were you worried about me?” He asked. Jain rolled her eyes. “Don’t push your luck.” Rylan chuckled at that. “Are you guys going to put me to sleep or you’re going to kiss already?” Lana, who was standing by Rylan asked. They had both forgotten that she was with them. Rylan was gripping her by the elbow waiting to hand her over to the cops. As the cops came, he handed her over to them. Lana walked away as they handcuffed her and she headed towards one of the cars. Jain and Rylan were now alone. Rylan looked like a mess. His face was covered with sweat and his dark brown hair was pasted to his forehead because of the sweat. His amber eyes were dull and he looked exhausted. His dress wasn’t any different. She could remember that he had torn off his sleeve to stop the bleeding on her gun wound. The wound had now been successfully stitched

A black Lamborghini swerved into the driveway of Carlos Borges’ estate and came to a halt. The front door swung open and Rylan Daystar stepped out of the car. He looked tattered dressed in his once white undershirt with one sleeve turned out. His back hair was ruffled and his cheeks were soiled with dirt. He looked like he had come out of a train wreck. That was not far from a fact considering all that had happened in the last ten hours. The other figure who stepped out of the car was Detective Jain Reynolds. She looked to be in much better shape than Rylan. Although she was minorly injured, she had forced herself to be here. She had been shot by Lana and had gotten the wound stitched up, but it seemed the pills they had given her to silence the pain were dying off. She could feel every bit of pain in her arm as she stood beside Rylan. It was twilight now and the sun would soon sneak through the horizon. Rylan wanted to get this file as soon as possible. There were a lot of things h
