After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Exposing Lucas and Henry
The estate had several houses in it. So Lucas and Henry, led them to one of the houses. Lucas rang the doorbell.This had already sparked interest in the viewers, wight thousands of viewers and comments.Seeing that they were taking too long to respond, Henry rang the bell again and shouted. “Open up. We're government officials, we came for an investigation!”At this moment the tension was high, everyone curious to see the so called ‘mistress’ of Norman. Bethany bit her lips, hoping for a negative result.Meanwhile Henry kept on ranting. “Just you wait, you'll see what I'm talking about. Norman is a criminal, and today his little lies will be exposed.”Lucas also brimmed with excitement.People watching the broadcast were flooding in with comments, everyone was curious to know the truth.“What's she gonna look like?”“She's the mistress of the acting Mayor, I'm sure she's going to be stunning!”“LMFAO, can't believe Mr. Norman is a criminal.”Meanwhile Bethany and Harris stared at eac

Lucas shifted uneasily, sweat forming on his forehead as he fumbled for words. Henry, however, maintained his composure, his expression hardening as if he was doubling down.Bethany, seething with anger, pointed an accusatory finger at both of them. "You two should be ashamed. Not only do you fail to appreciate Norman's kindness, but you also have the audacity to defame him publicly? Are you so blinded by your agenda that you can't see the truth?"Henry’s jaw tightened, refusing to back down. "Kindness? If he really wanted to help these women, why buy them such expensive houses? Why not something simpler? This just screams of ulterior motives."Bethany shot him a fiery glare. "So, let me get this straight. Women whose husbands gave their lives defending this nation don't deserve these homes? You think you deserve them more than they do? Is that it?"Henry faltered for a moment but quickly recovered. "That's not what I’m saying," he snapped. "I’m saying this entire setup is suspicious.

Their cries grew louder, and then one of the women, overcome with despair, stepped onto the front steps and raised her voice in a dramatic plea. “If this is what we are worth to you, then I don’t deserve to live!” She moved to the edge of the steps, her intent clear.Gasps filled the air as the crowd froze. Lucas went pale, panic flashing across his face. He darted toward her, his voice trembling. “Stop! Don’t do this! There’s no need for such measures!” The officials intervened quickly, pulling the woman back and calming her. Lucas, visibly shaken, turned to Henry, his voice low but urgent. “Fix this. Now. If this escalates further, we’re finished.” He knew if anything bad happened here, he's reputation as the Mayor would be destroyed, he might even be locked up.Henry, cornered and realizing there was no way out, bowed his head slightly. When he spoke again, his voice was softer, more genuine. “I’m sorry. Truly sorry. For everything we’ve done today. It was wrong.”The widows quiet

Henry's crew and the reporters were still packing up their things to leave, before Lucas leaned in, his voice low and firm. "You’ve got your orders. Clear them out. Now!"Henry nodded, jaw tightening as he turned to his crew. "Wrap it up. Everyone out, quickly."The crew fastened up, exchanging uneasy glances. Cameras were hastily folded away, and the reporters shuffled backward.“Norman doesn’t deserve this!” someone shouted from the crowd.“What evidence do they even have?” another voice chimed in, trembling with anger.“This is abuse of power, the Mayor is irresponsible!”Bethany stood rooted, her fists clenched at her sides. She stepped forward as the reporters disappeared into the distance. “Mr. Havord, this has gone too far,” she said, her voice steady but sharp. “Norman hasn’t done anything wrong. You know that as well as I do.”Henry spun on his heel, his face clouded with irritation. “Chief Bethany, don’t start. If he’s innocent, where’s the proof? Why hasn’t anyone come for

At Lucas's office Lucas leaned back in his leather chair, his hands massaging the temple of his head. After going through the annual cost Norman spends to provide for the families of fallen heroes, he still had doubts if these were legit. The expenses were so high, Henry and Lana was also present in the office, both as shocked as Lucas. “This… This is insane,” Henry finally spat, gesturing at the screen. “We’re expected to pay how much to these families every year?” Lucas leaned forward, clasping his hands. “Seventy-point-eight million. That’s what Norman had allocated annually. Seventy. Point. Eight. Million. For widows and orphans.” His voice dripped with contempt as he emphasized each word. It was unbelievable. “Ridiculous,” Lana chimed in, leaning forward with a cold smile. “Why should their sob stories drain our city’s coffers? Their husbands and fathers chose the line of duty. They knew the risks.” Henry turned, his anger palpable. “They act like the city owes them for etern

Lucas frowned, he knew exactly why they were here. He was about to speak before Henry spoke abruptly. “If this is about Norman's case, he's still guilty, and you don't have to worry we're getting the evidence.” He said with disdain. Harris gritted his teeth as he glared at Henry. “I wasn't talking to you Mr. Havord, and you aren't the acting Mayor yet, don't act like one.” The words were like arrows, it shattered Henry's pride, he was about to speak but Lucas gestured for him to halt. “Let's go to the general office to discuss this.” He said to the other officials and they all head to a much larger office. **** One official started, “Norman’s absence is already causing unrest. If we don’t handle this properly, the public outcry could escalate into something worse.” Lucas leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing as he listened. His jaw tightened, his lips forming a thin line. “Are you all implying that this city can’t function without one man?” he snapped, his voice cold and sha

Henry was seated in his suite now covered by the lingering smoke that he puffed out of his mouth, and nostrils. His leg was crossed over the other, and he leaned back, ignoring the chain of women trying to get his attention. He has a more serious situation at hand. “Fuck! How haven't I been able to bring that fool down yet!” he cursed, asking himself a question even he couldn't answer. Henry's face was arched in a frown, his eyes squinted, and the cigarette he held dangled in his hands. His mind was restless. “How can I take down that brat!” He continued to ask himself questions he wasn't sure he could answer. Well, at least not yet. He still needed to get some valuable information. As he thought about that, his phone buzzed in his pocket, and the moment he pushed his hands in, pulling it out, he found the call he had been waiting for. Henry pushed himself up, and excused himself from the room, taking the call almost immediately. “Hello boss,” the information greeted, but Henry

The next day, Bethany walked through the hallway. She had a neutral expression on her face as she walked through the cell's hallway. The metal rods, and the smell of sweat caught her attention, but she didn't mind. However, she paused when her eyes caught sight of Norman. He was doing some work out, so she stood there silently, her eyes fixed on his figure. His muscles were perfect, and she couldn't take her eyes off him. She thought he didn't notice her so she stood there, watching him with an enticed gaze. It was obvious she was watching him. Her eyes moved along his movements until he stood up, and faced her, catching her unawares. “Oh, um…” “What are you doing here?” He asked, picking up a towel he kept there, and using it to wipe his face. She pressed her lips together, but smiled in an instant. “I came to check on you, and you seem to be doing good.” He hummed. “I see. Well I'm good.” Norman continued to do sit-ups when he answered her question, and there was a serious

She's actually the one who came here.“She came?” He was more than shocked. “What was she actually doing here because she's an enemy, and–”Bethany tried to explain before he ended up concluding things. “It's not really as you see them. I will explain things to you, and you need to understand, things are…” Cassian eye widened. “Watch out!” He screamed, pouncing on her which caused them to lay on the ground flat. It was a really unexpected sight, and as soon as he saw the cost was open, he immediately pulled out his gun, cocked it, and pointed it at where he saw the attack from. If he wants paying attention, whoever it was you have su

Whether or another anything would happen was entirely up to her, and she didn't even know how else to make it work.As she reached home, trying to rest her head, she noticed the doorbell ring again. At first, she didn't want to believe it was her door, but with time, it immediately showed. However, there was a lot involved. Her heart shook, and she tied to control her expression when she saw who was at the door, but despite that, her expression was still harsh. So harsh it scared her. “You!” Lana swallowed. She lowered her head, and then raised it up again almost like she was ashamed.However, it was going to be worse than she actually thought.

He drove Bethany back home, and asked her to show her face. At first he didn't know what to do, but then he pulled closer, almost kissing her. However, she pulled away. For some reason, she felt like things were happening too fast. All she wanted was simple. “I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to–” “No, no it's okay. Guess it's just me being too forward. Um, I guess we'll see tomorrow at the venue for the speech. I have made sure to get the pressure ready. All I need you to do now is simple. You need to understand the way things are.” She nodded. She knew when we were about to enter into the main business now.“Yes. Thank you for today, and for making my job easier. Thanks so much…’ He smirked again. “I should actually be the one thanking you. I really don't know what to say. It's not as easy as you make it seem. You have fought for me, and brought me out of jail. I guess it's my time to return the favour. I fucking don't care about the way things are.” She nodded, and smirked. “I reall

Bethany was adding finishing touches to her makeup when she heard the doorbell. Her heart skipped a beat, and the brush she held fell in the ground. However, as she bent down to pick it up, she banged her head which caused her to actually feel pain.“Aw!” She grunted, rubbing her hair gently. She seemed to have hurt herself, and wasn't able to pick up the brush before she heard the doorbell again. This time, she moved to go answer the door.Upon pulling the door open, she was met with a surprise that caused her to gasp.A bouquet of flowers being held almost like a tower.“Norman?” She called, but only heard his voice. “I'll let the keep these inside… why don't we wait in the car?’ It seemed he was behind his guard who held the flower. Bethany nodded. She didn't have an issue with his suggestion. Infact, she saw it as a really good suggestion.She handed the key to the guard, and was about to walk alongside him when he brought out his hands for her to hold. Bethany was a really shy

It seemed like they were all reaching the same thing. She gave the description and was able to make them get a perfect description of the person who made her want to poison Bethany.After that, they made sure her family was able to be safe before the poster of the man was spread, and within a few days the assassin was caught.“Who sent you?!” There were so many things involved. She was trying so hard to interrogate, but he didn't seem interested. His eyes darkened, and he tried to make her fear him, but Bethany was someone with a double skin. “Are you going to speak, or should I torment you until you have something to say?” She asked, and there was silence. No one knew what was being said the only thing that mattered at this point was the fact that a lot was going on. “Do you think I fear you?” Bethany scoffed, and that was when she brought out the big guns. She knew there was a way to make him speak even when it was going to take time.Well, her diagnosis was true. She was so good

Bethany was still trying to get things in place, but she didn't know how else to do it.“Your mother will be under our protective care, and that's a promise. We are going to ensure that she's fine. You just have to play along with us. Is that okay?” “You're being too calm with her. Why do you expect her to speak up? Torment her. She doesn't even deserve to be given a time to speak. She's a monster. Do you understand?” Bethany flashed her a glare, and she immediately kept quiet. Linda had always thought she was actually being this way because she was the boss, but the truth remained that the girl didn't even mind her dying.“I didn't mean to do it I swear. I just–” “Give us the info we need to know, and maybe we'll just give you a suspension and nothing more. Maybe you'll even be allowed back into the service, and this won't go outside the office. How about that?” All that seemed like a really good offer. The girl was still really skeptical. The worse part of all this was the fact

“Who?” Bethany asked. She seemed to be really into whatever was going on. She was worried that she had another betrayer in her midst which wasn't good.“I believe we'll bust him and have him arrested when you get better, but for now, why don't you focus on getting better first. Soon enough, we're going to actually make sense of everything else.” She didn't have any other choice. At one point, she was seeing everything in a confused manner. She knew that things were horrible. Bethany was determined to recover. She took the dose norman made for her everyday, and made sure she was resting well. Andrew, and the rest of her squad handled things in the state while she took time to recover.After a while, she was finally able to get herself. She was trying her best to understand what the issue really was. Her heart drummed, and she was always in a off mode. Everything seemed off, and all she wanted was simple. She wanted things to go well.Now that he knew the truth about Norman’s set up,

Norman was first hesitant, but after a while he finally agreed to make sense of everything. His heart drummed, and he was looking for the right way for him to cure her. “I can do that, but then there are so many things. I'll practically need a lab…” he explained, and when they knew it was going to be so hard to get him there, they were prepared to actually do it. They made sure to gather all the info they actually could, and make their way towards him. Cassian was on the lookout while Linda and Andrew were the ones who made sure to see everything as it was. He was just trying to be a strange man.“I thought you said you had the antidote.” Andrew said. At the same time Cassian seemed a bit off. He knew there was a lot involved. “Well hard" is a strong word. I actually know maybe a cure. I hope you all came here undetected because I really don't care how things are going now all I know is that something must surely be done about her heart. So are you willing to trust me?”They turned
