Andrew was sitting in his study.

"Getting your number was easy. So now you say I have mental issues? I wonder what will happen if I undergo a mental evaluation and post it online, proving that I am perfectly healthy," Andrew said, with a cold smirk.

"What exactly do you want from me?" Mr Nelson asked him angrily, narrowing his eyes as his fists clenched on the desk.

"I don't want much from you. I just want you to suffer.” Andrew chuckled coldly.

“I want to bring your reputation down. I want you to always watch your back, wondering who would stab you in the back. I want to give you a beating so that you know that it actually hurts to get beaten by someone and ganged upon.” Andrew paused and exhaled.

“I just want to see you fall, and I'll be happy," Andrew told him. That was how he felt and that was what he wanted to do, and he wasn't going to hide it from him.

"If you want money, I can do that. I'll give you any amount you want. You can disappear and I won't look for you anymore," Mr Nelson told him, he wanted to take this opportunity to lure Andrew somewhere, so he could kill him off ,but Andrew wasn’t that stupid.

"I don't need your blood covered money. Don't worry about it. I'll reveal all those evil crimes you did in secret and how your company succeeded off another man's blood and sweat. Don't think I'll let you off easy," Andrew told him, his voice filled with rage.

"Look here, boy, I have been in this business longer than you could ever imagine, and I can tell you that many threats have risen up against me and I neutralised all of them. And I'll do the same to you," CEO Nelson warned him, his tone turning dark.

"Well, you can kill or harm your rivals. But I am not them. We will see who will have the last laugh," Andrew said, ending the call.

Beside him, his secretary was standing silently, waiting for instructions.

"Have you arranged everything?" he asked his secretary ,because he needed to get this done immediately.

"Yes. Everything has been arranged," the secretary replied with a nod.

"Good. Do it. I want to see how he reacts," Andrew said,with a cold smile.

"Yes, sir," the secretary said and left the office quickly.

Meanwhile, in Mr Nelson's mansion the next morning, he was sitting at the breakfast table eating with his family, when suddenly one of his bodyguards rushed into the living room.

"Sir! You need to come immediately. It is important," the bodyguard told him urgently. Mr Nelson looked up, annoyed that he had been disturbed.

"Why are you calling me? What happened?" he asked, putting his fork down.

"The warehouse where the goods are kept , we don't know who went there overnight. They injured our employees and guard, cut off all communication, and took everything in the warehouse and destroyed it," the bodyguard said immediately. Mr Nelson’s eyes widened as he stood up.

"Which warehouse is he talking about?" his wife asked, but Mr Nelson didn’t answer. He pushed his chair back roughly and followed the bodyguard out without finishing his breakfast. Moments later, he got into his car, and they drove to the warehouse at full speed.

While in the car, he could not stop panicking as he made call after call, wondering how something like this could happen. The bodyguards explained that twenty armed men had stormed the warehouse. They were outnumbered, but they still fought , only to be beaten down. The attackers loaded all the illegal drugs from the warehouse into their trucks and drove off, cutting off all communications and seizing their phones.

Mr Nelson’s heart pounded. Those drugs were meant for a major deal that would bring him more money. Without them, how was he going to explain things to the Russians he was supposed to supply? He had already taken a deposit he couldn’t return.

Mr Nelson began making desperate calls to the police and his contacts.

"One of my warehouses was robbed. I need your help to find who did this. Please give me any updates and I shall compensate you," he spread the information widely, hoping someone would give him a lead. If he didn’t bring back the drugs or produce more, the Russians would want their money back , and they wouldn’t be polite about it.

When he got to the warehouse, he was stunned by the destruction. All the equipment used to process the illegal drugs was smashed. The entire place was wrecked. His injured employees sat on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Do you have any idea who did this?" he asked one of the men on site.

The man nodded. "I think I do. Follow me," he said, leading Mr Nelson to a wall.

There, painted in bold letters, was a message.

“After they loaded the drugs into their truck, this was the last thing one of them did before leaving,” one guard said.

"I told you that I wanted you to feel pain. Let me see how it feels to take something very important from you. Good luck."

Mr Nelson froze. There was only one person who had said those words to him before ,Andrew.

"How can this be happening? It cannot be Andrew. He’s just a powerless man. His father is not backing him, so how could he get men strong enough to take down my top bodyguards? Who’s helping him?" he muttered in disbelief.

"Did he say anything else before leaving?" Mr Nelson asked.

"Oh yes," the man replied. "He said, “Tell your boss this is just the beginning. " I will get that heart back."

Mr Nelson gasped.

"Heart?" He asked with widened eyes.

He quickly pulled out his phone and decided to call his son, telling him to work from home. But no matter how many times he tried, the call wouldn’t connect. So he called his wife.

"Where is Paul?" he asked quickly.

"He just left for work," she replied.

"I am calling him and he's not answering," Mr Nelson told her, his voice shaking.

"Call his driver," she suggested.

She sent the driver’s number, and Mr Nelson called immediately. Just like with his son’s phone, there was no answer.

"No, no, no," he muttered in fear.

"Call the police. Something has happened to my son…"

BOOM!

A deafening explosion erupted in the warehouse, the blast force knocking them off their feet and slamming them onto the floor.

Now, Mr Nelson knew Andrew wasn’t joking, when he said he would make him feel pain.

And this time, he had to take him seriously or he would have a lot to lose.

The three witnesses who were ready to testify against the Nelsons and the hospital director were also preparing themselves, but Miriam was not ready to present them all at once.In court, as the hearing kicked off, Andrew’s team first presented the testimony of the maid, who clearly stated everything she knew about the Nelsons and their involvement in Lily’s death. According to her testimony, they had instructed her to poison Lily, after which they harvested her heart with the help of a surgeon and had it delivered for Paul’s heart transplant.Meanwhile, the Nelsons had assembled a formidable team of lawyers. Their lead counsel requested that the maid, whom Andrew’s team had presented as a witness, be brought in for questioning.The maid was ushered in by two court baili

    Alex reached out before nightfall to report that three staff members of the hospital where Paul’s heart transplant had taken place had independently agreed to confess in court to what they knew about the transplant and how it had been carried out. However, the hospital director remained adamant.“Which of the staff members offered to testify in court?” Andrew asked. He was back at his place, glancing at his laptop screen while holding the phone to his left ear. He had a heavy workload to deal with, yet the legal battle with the Nelsons was consuming most of his time because he needed to make them pay.“A nurse, a cleaner, and…”“Do you think a nurse and a cleaner’s testimonies would hold water in court when we both know they are at the bottom of the hospital’s hierarchy…”“…and the lead surgeon,” Alex snapped. “You should let me finish, Andrew. Stop being desperate to prove a point.”Andrew sighed. Now, things were beginning to make sense. If the lead surgeon was ready to testify in c

    Back home, Andrew researched Miriam. She was quite influential in Florida and was already making a name for herself in his city. She had a wonderful track record of winning cases and had engaged in numerous legal battles with wealthy and powerful people who thought themselves untouchable.Andrew was particularly interested in her consistent victories and the kinds of battles she had fought in the past. She had taken on powerful politicians and left them humbled and defeated. That was the kind of person Andrew wanted as his legal counsel.He had been hoping to assemble a powerful legal team to pursue the case himself, especially since Alex had informed him that the Nelsons’ lead counsel was going around, hoping to bribe his way into securing the Nelsons’ release from custody.Having been satisfied with her track record, he found her card in his suit pocket and dialed her number while sorting his clothes with his free hand.Miriam, on the other end, answered the call as though she had b

    Andrew got a text from Alex before he closed for work. Alex wanted them to meet at their usual meeting spot. He slipped the phone into his pocket and headed for the elevator, but someone called him from behind. He turned and saw a young lady standing behind him.She looked somewhat familiar, as though he had seen her somewhere in the past, but he couldn’t remember where or when. She walked towards him, wearing a warm smile. Andrew was skeptical about her approach, but he stood still, and when she offered him a handshake, he shook her hand as though he knew her.“Longest time, Andrew,” she said, still wearing her broad smile. “Do you still remember me?”Andrew shook his head.“Oh, I don’t blame you for that,” she said. “But...” She searched her handbag and fished out an old picture. “I bet you will recognize this.”Andrew took the picture from her and gazed at it for a while. Old memories came rushing back. The lady in the picture was an old friend from his teenage years. She had left

    Mr. Nelson sat on his bed in his cell with his head bowed towards the floor. The last time he caught sight and scent of the world beyond the walls of his cell was the day he and his family were charged in court by the police. Now, not even his legal counsel was able to secure his release.The case had been adjourned. That meant he would have to stay a little longer in his cell before returning to court to bargain for his freedom and that of his family.Aside from the court hearing, he hadn’t seen or heard from the outside world since then. A prison warden stopped at his door with a baton. The warden knocked on the door with the end of his baton.“Mr. Nelson.”Mr. Nelson looked up. His face was heavy with worry and panic. The last thing he had ever wanted for himself and his family was to end up in jail for doing something they considered insignificant. To him and his family, Lily had served the purpose for which she was adopted in the first place. Now, the consequences of what they ha

    Though the police had strong evidence that the Nelsons could barely deny, their legal counsel managed to put up a good fight, leaving the court with no other choice but to adjourn the case. However, Andrew had already granted the press an interview, briefing them on what had happened to his wife and what the investigations had uncovered.The police spokesperson also did well to grant a press interview, stating that the evidence gathered by the police investigations department was glaring. No one could deny the fact that the Nelsons had murdered their daughter and offered her heart to the doctors for Paul’s urgent heart transplant.Though the Nelsons’ legal counsel did well to deny the allegations levelled by the police and Andrew, the news spread far and wide within a matter of hours. Andrew knew how fast news travelled, but he hadn’t expected the allegations levelled against the Nelsons to spread so quickly.They were supposed to have a top-notch damage control agency helping them wi
