Cassandra's face turned deep crimson as he lunged herself at Richard, her hands clawing into the air, ready to do damage,“How dare you! You convict! How dare you insult me with no remorse?!” she shrieked, smoke billowing from her flaring nostrils and her ear holes,She seemed to forget that Richard was a seasoned fighter, but all of that was forgotten as she longed for blood, wanting to dip her curled nails into his face,Richard had braced himself for the impact, ready to trash her away like a hot sack of potatoes, but before Cassandra could reach him or Richard counter the attack, Vivienne appeared in the doorway, her entire face reddened,She was blazing with anger and authority, her hands curled beside her as she glared at the scene before her,“What the hell is going on here?! THAT'S ENOUGH MISS DELANEY!” she thundered, her voice reverberating through the prison walls.In a flash, Cassandra spun around and equally glared at her, red eyes to red eyes, the fury in their eyes was q

Harold entered Vivienne with ferocity, his eyes darkening as he stormed in, “What is this I hear about having my child in your filthy station?!" He asked, straight to the point as he glared at a smirking Vivienne,Vivienne who was looking quite pleased with herself gave a crisp nod as she replied,“Good to see you too, Mayor Harold, or should I say former?" She quipped slyly causing Harold to clench his fists and glare at her irritably,On the other hand, Vivienne was a picture of calmness, although her eyes held deep amusement.“You're in an official environment, I'll advise that you keep your voice down,” Vivienne said coolly as she raised her head to look at him intently. The sight of Harold made her a little sick to her stomach, but she had to stomach it nonetheless,She couldn't understand how one person could be so vile and be surrounded by equally vile people. Was Harold Delaney so blind and stuck up in his nose and ass that he couldn't see the gem that Richard was, or perhaps

But before Richard could say anything to defend himself against the slander, another commotion ensued at the entrance of the prison, Andrew's father, Dan Morris had stormed his arrival with an army of men flanking his sides, the men were fierce-looking and had some of the officers cradling their necks to have a glance, the others mumbling amongst themselves as they gazed at the heavy set men. “Where is my son?!" He thundered, as his eyes darted around the prison walls, his eyes landed on the media that had surrounded the place and finally, on his son who had a small smile at his father's arrival, Dan Morris glared at Harold, “What's going on here?! What have you lot done with my son?" Harold gulped, his cheeks reddening a little, "Huh… Si-sir…" he trailed, unable to string his words together. He had totally forgotten about Dan's incessant calls and messages and hadn't imagined that the man would leave the capital to come look for his son. Harold had been hoping to curb the s

Seeing the dazed expression on the leader's face, Dan Morris immediately interjected before Richsrd could respond,“Don't listen to him! Don't listen to whatever he has to say. He is just a former fighter reliving his glorious days! Show him what you've got!" He commanded authoritatively as he sneered at Richard, who had an impassive look on his face but was also battle-ready.He spared Vivienne a glance, who was biting on her lower lips, Vivienne's face was a little pale and she immediately grasped his arms and whispered,“M-mayor?" she said softly as she glanced at the men from a lowered glance, she did not know what the outcome of the fight would be,Though Richard was fit and could fight, he was clearly outnumbered, and her men, who were shaking like Chickens that had been poured water, didn't look like one who could confront the looming ten.Sensing her fears and apprehensions, Richard smiled and shook his head before patting the hand that was holding tightly unto him, and speaki

A few days later, the news about Cassandra, Harold and the Morris' embarrassing beating was still headline news on every available blog and news,The media who had been present at the cell had made sure to secretly capture and share the news. Cassandra and the rest were still nursing their wounds, Dan Morris had gone back to the capital with his tails in between his legs.Richard was once again praised as a National Hero who, despite being down, had found a way to deal with his enemies.Andrew, Cassandra and Harold were currently seated in Andrew's new office, nursing their wounds. Cassandra rubbed at the sore spot as she cursed Richard and the men who had beaten her up internally,‘Damn you to hell Richard Day’ she cursed at him, biting hard on her lower lip as she remembered the horror she had gone through.All of a sudden, the door to Andrew's office was barged open and his new secretary alongside a few officials hurried into the office, looking a little frazzled,“Mr Morris, Mayor
