Chapter 69 : The Man in the Black Jacket
Richard’s heartbeat refused to calm. The café felt smaller now, like the walls were closing in around them. The man in the black jacket sat still, pretending to read a newspaper, but Richard knew the truth.No normal customer studies a paper without flipping a single page.Dianne swallowed hard. “Richard… Say something. You’re scaring me.” Her eyes were fixed on him.“Don’t move yet,” Richard murmured. “He’s still watching.”“Are you sure he is one of Bishop’s men?”Richard hesitated. “I don’t know. I am not sure if he is here for me… or because of me.”Dianne looked down, her fingers twisting nervously on her lap. “I shouldn’t have come here. You should’ve just texted me.”“Do you think I anticipated this?” Richard shook his head. “If something is happening, I’d rather you be where I can see you.”Her eyes glistened with emotion, but Richard didn’t have time to comfort her.He watched the man again.The stranger wasn’t blinking enough.His posture was too stiff.And he tapped his fin
Chapter 68; The Truth That Scares
Dianne was not sure if what Richard said was actually making sense. She looked at him and was not sure of what to say. Richard’s words hung in the air. Dianne froze. Her lips parted a little, but no word came out. The noise from the café faded behind them. It suddenly felt like the whole place was watching them even though no one was.“Richard… what do you mean?” she finally whispered.Richard rested his back on the chair and exhaled deeply. His eyes shifted away, like he was looking at a memory far behind him.“Everything I know about myself… everything I believed… it’s all a lie,” he said quietly.Dianne blinked fast. “You’re scaring me. What do you mean?”Richard rubbed his temples slowly. His head felt heavy. He didn’t even know where to start.“I don’t remember my parents. I don’t remember my childhood. I don’t even know how I got my name. I only know what I was told. And now… I found out it’s all wrong.”Dianne reached out and held his hand, but Richard gently pulled his away

Chapter 66: Quiet time
Peace? It really wasn't in Richard's dictionary the moment he tried to outsmart Thomas Bishop. The house was silent again, but Richard’s mind wasn’t. His head felt heavy, his chest tight. He sat down on the couch, elbows on his knees, and stared at the floor.Sarah’s threat rang in his ears as he tried to think.He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. “What am I doing?” he muttered to himself.The phone on the table buzzed again, flashing Dianne’s name. He stared at it but didn’t touch it. A few seconds later, it stopped. Then it rang again; this time it was Tony.He picked it up.“Boss, bad time?” Tony’s voice came through, calm but alert.“Go on, Tony,” Richard said tiredly.“I got more info about Bishop. You were right. He’s been moving weapons through the docks. I think he’s planning something big. Should I move in?”Richard rubbed his face. “Not yet. Keep your eyes on him. I need to handle something first.”“Got it. But boss…” Tony paused. “You sound off. Are you alrigh
Chapter 65 :Dianne Warren versus Sarah Robertson
Richard got to the door and was surprised to see the two women who held a special post in his life standing at his doorpost. He was surprised and at the same time was not sure of what to do. He knew he could not be biased to either of them. “You didn't tell me you were coming.” Richard said bluntly, staring at their faces. “I called you, but you were not picking up my calls, Richard. Are you avoiding me?” Dianne asked, her eyebrows furrowed a bit. Sarah crossed her arms and gave Dianne a sharp look. “Oh, so you came here too?” she asked, her voice dripping with irritation.Dianne’s eyes narrowed. “I could ask you the same question. What are you doing here, Sarah? Last I checked, you had your own life, your space.” Richard’s eyes darted between them. He could already feel the tension and the unspoken words between the trio. “Can we not do this at the door?” he said calmly. “Come inside, both of you.”They both stepped in, but neither was willing to back down. Sarah brushed past D
Chapter 64: Truth that seems too hard
Reality sets in for Richard. All thanks to the system. He knew who he was, and he knew who he had to face to settle the scores. He picked up his phone on the large glass table that reflected the chandelier in his sitting room.“What do you have for me, Tony?” he said, sipping the juice in his hands. “You were right, boss. Bishop is into illegal trades. All we need to do is make sure we catch him in the act. Should we go ahead with the plan?” *[A day before] Richard, Tony, and Troy. All sat in his large dining room planning. “Do you think he suspects anything?” he asked, staring at Tony. Tony relaxed his back, his eyes focused on Richard. “No, he didn't know the company is linked to you.” “Good. I don't want you to go using the company’s car. That is where you come in, Troy. I need you now.” Richard said, tapping the table gently. “Anything you say, boss. What do I need to do?” Richard paused for a brief moment. He stood up as he walked towards the window of his house.
