?? Liam’s office ???
“Barrrgh”
Liam hit his right hand angrily on his table.
“They are all dead?”
“Yes, boss…
Only two of us are alive”
Andrew Willam’s men came to save her, and they warned us we shouldn’t touch their boss’s property.
Liam squeeze his hands angrily….
That man never learn his lesson”
Robert walked in and looked at the ground, he dare not look at Liam’s face.
Liam stood up and walk to him.
“You are very lucky, Jerry…
Let’s assume my men successfully ki||ed Rose Walter.. you are a dead man by now”
“Am sorry Boss, give me a week more…
I will finish her off, I just need a right time to get the job done”
Liam thought for a while…
“If my men couldn’t ki|| her, maybe Jerry can.. ”
“A week more, Jerry… just as you asked for”
And am going to send more of my men to her, if they have her ki||ed before you, you are losing your life”
Liam said.
“Yes boss, I understand that”
He replied and walked out.
“Why would Andrew William save Rose from Liam Payne’s hands?
What does Andrew have to do with Rose?”
He kept thinking over that as he walks out of Liam’s office.
He rembered the look Rose gave Andrew at the restaurant.
“Is there something between them?”
????
~The Walters home~
“Mom??
Am going to work”
Rose said as she came out of her bedroom.
Her mom and dad were eating at the diner table.
“Alright, honey..
Don’t come back home late like yesterday”
Her dad replied.
“I will try”
She said and pecked her mom and dad on the cheek before walking out.
Rose didn’t disclose anything that happened yesterday night to her parents.. she decided to keep it from them.
????
~California city morgue~
Detective stones and a regular police cop stares at the empty drawer where Robert’s body was placed.
The Chief anatomist of the morgue walked to them.
“How did his body disappeared?”
Det stones asked.
“We dont know… We saw some scratch behind the drawers, it seems his body was being stolen”
The Chief anatomist replied.
“His body was stolen??
By who?? Who would wants Robert’s body? ”
Det stones said.
“So maybe he is not alive? ”
The cop asked.
“Possiblity he might also be alive.. we will find the root of all this…
Can I see the CCTV cameras around here?”
“Sure sir..
This way”
He lead Det stones out. The cop followed behind them.

~Robert’s apartment ~
Robert came out of his bedroom getting ready for work. Dylan, Kate and Ben were discussing in the living room.
“Morning Boss…
How was your night?”
Dylan asked.
“Don’t ask me that…
Provide me a solution that can solve this current problem am having”
Robert replied with a cold face.
“Boss, can’t you just forget about the revenge?
Get back your assets from them and let them be”
Kate said.
Besides, you gave them a fake asset transfer file.. So it’s sounds easy”
Robert folded his arms and walked to Kate..
“Should I have the revenge on you instead?
Robert looked at Kate in the eyes.
“Its seems you are getting too soft nowadays, the Kate I know will always want to retailate on everything”
Kate looked at him in fear and swallow in saliva.
“How will you feel if your friend and your fiancee conspired against you? The two people you love and trust the most”
Robert asked.
“Am sorry boss…
“Am just trying to make the future war and your revenge peaceful”
Kate managed to say.
“Better be and get me solutions to this”
“Boss, we can just fake her death”
What do you think?”
Ben suggested.
“Do you think Liam is a fool?
He will make sure she is really dead”
Robert replied.
Everyone sighs.
“Then we have to ki|| her, we are sorry she is attached to this but am sorry she have to die..
Besides, she also wants revenge on your death cos she thought you are dead”
Dylan shrugged.
“So just finished it by getting a complete revenge”
” One of the reasons I don’t want to have her ki||ed… She still fights for me even when am not alive to her
“And besides, she is human.. she is not a animal we can just ki|| like that.”
“Then what should we do, boss? ”
Since we can’t have her ki||ed”
Dylan asked.
“We stick to the other plan.
Robert replied.
“All I just need to gain her trust”
Ben and Kate just watched and sighs.
Dylan stood up.
“Boss, I think you are also getting too soft…
You want a revenge but remember boss, ….sometimes revenge comes with sacrifice”
He said and walked out.
Robert think through Dylan’s words and sighs.

~Boathouse Eatery and Bar~
(8am)
Rose came of her vehicle and walked into the restaurant’s building.
She remembered John’s words.
?”Stay alert and stay out of danger, his men might still come after you again” ?
She sighs and walked in.
Jake, his boss and some other employees were having a discussion at a corner.
Rose and Jake lock eyes and Jake smile.
“Good morning…
Someone said behind her. She looked back and saw Jerry.
“Jerry?”
She muttered.
“Why are so surprised to see me?”
Robert asked.
“Am not surprised…
I see we both came early today”
Rose said as she walks to the locker room.
“Yeah, we did…
Jerry followed her.
“Hmm.. can I ask you something? ”
“Yeah, anything…
“Okay…
Jerry breathe out. Rose noticed that.
“What’s up..
Is something wrong? ”
“No, Rose…
Everything is fine”
I just want to ask if you can come with me after today’s shift.
“I have something to show you”
“And what’s that?
“You will see..
Jerry smile and walk away.
Rose walked to catch up with him.
Jerry placed his bag in his locker and so did Rose.
“Are you trying to kidnap me?”
Jerry almost laughed to death.
“Why would I kidnap you? If I want to, I would have done that without people noticing your absence right here in boathouse”
“Well, you might want to do it now…
Drawing me out of here, where am safe”
Rose said.
Jerry chuckles.
“I swear, I mean no harm
Jerry replied.
“Okay?
So where are we going?”
“It’s a surprise…
“Can I have your phone? we need to share contacts
It will be weird if we both work here and we don’t have each other contacts”
Jerry said.
Rose smiles and brought out her phone.
“Sure…
Rose smiles and hand him his phone.
Jerry did some tech stuff on it and input his phone number on the call log.
He suddenly came across his picture of his old face in the phone.
“Do you know Robert suntherland?
Jerry asked and show Rose the picture.
“Yeah, who doesn’t know Robert suntherland? ”
Rose replied.
“Hmm..
Cos it seems you know him personally”
“Yeah, I do…
We were friends and I once had a crush on him before death took him away”
Rose replied and they began to walk to the kitchen.
“Oh I see…
And what about now?
Let’s say assuming he was still alive, would you still have something for him now that you are with Andrew William?”
Robert asked folding his arms.
“Why are you talking like Robert?
Rose asked with a suspicious look.
“And how did you know Andrew William?”
“C’mon… Really??
Everyone knows you are with Andrew William”
Jerry said.
“Oh, that’s actually true…
She said for a second thought.
“Okay, rose…
Let’s get to work now…
See you after today’s shift”
Jerry smile at her.
Rose smiles also as Jake walked to them with his hands behind his back.

~Wells Fargo~
Andrew sat down thinking deeply what liam Payne is up to.
John stand opposite him with his eyes on the ground.
“Why would Liam wants Rose ki||ed?”
Andrew asked John again.
“We have to ask him ourselves, boss..
It’s not easy to guess that”
John replied.
Andrew smirks and stood up.
“What if I haven’t sent you there to save her…
What would have happened?”
Oh gosh,,
He sighs and sat down again.
“Boss, I would suggest rose should come back to your home, she will be more safer there”
John said.
“And do you think she will agree with that??
The only thing Liam want her ki||ed is maybe because she is keeping something”
John noticed his boss is about to find out about the secrets.
“Prepare the vehicle,..
Am going over to see Liam Payne”
Andrew suddenly said and stood up.
“What?? Boss
We can’t do that, it’s dangerous”
He is a gangleader, he is capable of ki||ing you right in the spot when you get to his territory”
Andrew looked at him angrily.
“Just do what I say”
John sighs.
“Yes boss”
He said and walked out.
