Robert said.
“Boss, didn’t you sent Dylan to give them a fake asset transfer file?”
“Yeah .. I did

He said and sighs sadly.
What if?…
“Are you saying Dylan might have given them the real one cos he was offered a lot of money?”
Ben asked.
“I sent Dylan over to my house to get the fake one and he might have instead take the real file and hand it to Liam”

“No, he is still with Liam…

Kate stare at Andrew Williams who was making a call outside facing back.
Rose smile..
“A friend of mine…
“A friend?
Kate was surprised.
“I didn’t knew you had a friend”
“Please can you let me in?
We need to get in touch with Jerry”
Kate opened the door completely and rose walked in leaving Andrew outside.
“Jerry called Ben to come over so they should be together”
Dylan said as rose sat down.
“Then he will be back soon …
Rose replied.
“Who is the friend outside?”
Dylan asked. Andrew walked in a second later he said that.
Kate and dylan were shocked…
“Andrew Williams”
They both said and stood up bowing before him.
Rose smiles as she folds her arm.
“Oh my goodness, he is really here
It’s a pleasure to have you Andrew William”
Dylan said.
Andrew just fake a smile and sat down beside rose.
“Are these the people that was fighting for Robert’s justice?”
“Yeah…
We are, with Jerry and Ben”
Rose replied.
“And where are they?”
“Sir, we are sorry for keeping you waiting.. we are trying to reach them now and I think they will soon be back”
Dylan said.
Andrew’s phone rang. He looked at everyone and stood up to receive his call.
He walked to a corner of the room and picked the call.
“Boss, it’s John…
“Yeah, I know…
Is everything okay?
“No boss…
Our insider just informed me Jerry and his friend has been shot at Liam’s company and they have both been rushed to Maryland hospital”
“Oh f-__-k…
Isn’t it the same Jerry we both know?”
Andrew asked.
“Yes, boss…
“I will get in touch with you later… Andrew ended the call and face everyone.
“We have a very big problem”
He said.
Everyone waited in anticipation.
“Is everything okay?”
“No…
Jerry and his friend was shot”
He announced.
“And how do you know about this?”
Kate asked.
“Is that the time for this now? Or we have to go now”
Andrew said and grabbed Rose.

They followed him.

~(Maryland hospital)~, Los Angeles
“Thanks”
Ben thanked the nurse as she walked away. His leg, where he was shot was covered with band aid. He looked at unconscious Robert beside him.
Robert was lying on the hospital bed with a blood drip to his hand. An Oxygen mask was also on his face.
Ben sighs remembering the scene of the gun shot $h00t out.
Kate and dylan rushed into the ward.
“Ben…
Kate called and rushed to hug him.
” Kate…
Dylan”
Kate looked at Robert.
“Omg, please tell me he is still alive…
Kate asked.
“We hope…
The doctor said he was shot in the heart but the bullet got stuck in one of his ribs.
Ben replied and looked at Andrew and rose.
He bowed his head a little.
Andrew nodded.
“What is he doing here? ”
Ben whispers to dylan.
“He came to check up on you two…
Dylan replied.
Do you guys got the asset file transfer?”
“No?
Ben replied and then later think twice.No one mentioned anything about a asset file transfer,not even Robert.
“What file is that and I didn’t not know about?”
Kate asked.
“Yeah, what file is that?”
Ben asked facing Dylan.
Andrew and rose were wondering what’s going on…
Rose looked at Andrew.
Andrew shrugged.
“That has nothing to do with me”
“I think I will be on my way now”
He said and wanted to walk out of the ward when doctor naresh walked in with a nurse.
Kate was still expecting an answer from Dylan as she folded her arms.

(Maryland’s hospital)
“What file is that and I didn’t not know about?”
Kate asked.
“Yeah, what file is that?”
Ben asked facing Dylan.
Andrew and rose were wondering what’s going on…
Rose looked at Andrew.
Andrew shrugged.
“That has nothing to do with me”
“I think I will be on my way now”
He said and wanted to walk out of the ward when doctor naresh walked in with a nurse.
Kate was still expecting an answer from Dylan as she folded her arms.
Ben also looked at Dylan.
“Robert told me before he left to see Liam Payne”
He lied.
“Is something wrong?
He changed the look on his face to a confused one.
Ben and Kate looked at him falling for his lie.
“Morning guys
Doctor naresh said and smile as everyone faces him.
“It’s so good to see everyone here”
He said and looked at Andrew.
“Doctor naresh…
I will be on my way now, I only came to check up on them and see if they are okay”
“No, Andrew…
You have to stay cos you are mostly needed here…
Please for the sake of rose, stay”
“Alright, what’s going on here? Why do you want me to stay?”
Andrew asked.
“You need to be part of this…
And they need your help”
Naresh replied and the nurse went over to check up on unconscious Robert.
She checked his vitals and her pulse.
Andrew looked at rose pleading face and he sighs.
“You all might be wondering how and why Jerry was shot?”
Doctor naresh said.
“Yeah, we all know he was shot by Liam’s men…
Dylan replied.
“No, he was shot by the blacked masked assassin”
Ben said giving Dylan a weird look.
“Ben is right…
No one knows who the blacked masked assassin is
Doctor naresh also said.
We all know Jerry wants revenge for Robert or let me say Robert wants his Justice”
No more secrets, we have to come clean here”
Andrew stare at everyone with a confused look.
“Secrets?
Is there any secrets we need to know?”
“Yeah, Jerry has been Robert suntherland all along”
Doctor naresh spilled the milk.
“What??
Rose and Andrew said at the same time.
“Robert was Jerry?
How is that possible?”.
Kate sighs.
“Robert almost died when he was shot in the head by Liam’s men we think”
Andrew clears his throat and folded his arms.
“But Robert survived it…
She continues.
“He decided to save his assets and take a revenge back on his murderer. We found out later, his best friend, Liam Payne and his wife to be planned his assassination”
“Oh gosh…
And I have been arrested twice because of this”
Andrew blurted out.
“Calm down…
Mr Williams”
Doctor naresh cautioned him.
“We are sorry, Andrew Williams for what the cops put you through but it was Liam’s plan all along”
Kate replied.
Robert decided to have a plastic surgery to keep his revenge secret while tormenting Liam and Olivia”
Rose walked to Robert on the hospital bed. She stares at him and caress his cheeks.
“You’ve been alive all this while, Robert…And I had to make the hard decision of my life trying to revenge your death”
Rose said as tears fall down her own cheek.
Andrew sighs saldy and decide to have a seat.
“Why are this secrets kept from me all this while… I could have done something”
Andrew said.
“I don’t think you would… You were busy getting your assets back from your dad using rose
Doctor naresh said.
“I need rose was also in your house to find clues on Robert’s death.
I just have to find and wait for the right time to tell you all this”
“We are sorry for keeping those secrets from you rose…
Ben apologized.
“That’s what Robert also wanted… He had wanted to tell you all this while but he was scared of ruining the plan, he almost did when Liam Payne ordered your assassination”
“It’s okay.. Ben
I understand”
Rose replied and clean her tears.
“Robert was almost done with his revenge when the blacked masked assassin came into the picture…
Kate faced Andrew.
He run Olivia into an accident, the same accident plan we had planned for Olivia…
We also planned to ruin Liam slowly and completely, we started with the public embarrassment and when evidences of his involvement in Robert’s death was released.
He was arrested according to our plan”
“So what happened next?
Andrew asked.
“I guess Robert went to Liam’s office to find anything we can use to bring him down again and there he was shot”
Andrew sighs…
“First, I don’t think Robert can have a complete revenge while he is still alive…
Liam Payne can’t be arrested for murder when he is not dead”
“And that’s the reason the revenge is a secret..”
Kate replied.
He wants to inflict pain on Liam without liam figuring out who is behind it”
“Now that Robert is in a critical state…
I think you are the only one that can help”
Doctor naresh said pleading with Andrew.
“Let’s leave the rivalry between you two for now… His life is at stake…
“We don’t know who to trust now since Ben and Robert found something in Liam’s office…
Kate also said.
“And you all want to put your trust in me?”
Andrew asked.
“Yeah, cos we need your help…
And I can say rose has done a lot of work in trying to convince you”
Ben replied looking at rose who was already lost in thought thinking about what she just finds out.
She can’t believe she has been working with Robert at the boathouse all this while.
“Alright…
Can you guys give me some days? I need to process this especially now that I found out Robert is alive and well.
I can’t think straight”
Andrew said.
“We understand, Mr Andrew…
Take your time”
Ben replied.
He nodded and stood up, walking up to Robert’s bed.
“He was shot by the blacked masked assassin?”
Andrew asked staring at the covered wound shot on his chest.
“Yes…
That’s another nut to crack, we don’t know who is he or what he wants…
He has been after Robert warning him he is coming for revenge”
“Robert must have offended someone…
Andrew said.
“And that’s what we thought also but nothing is just coming straight to understand”
Andrew sighs again and put his both hands in his pocket.
“We will be on our way now…
Andrew said ready to walk out.
Doctor naresh stood up and hugged Andrew.
“Be good, Andrew..
And we are waiting when you are ready”
“Sure…
Doctor naresh
He replied and gesture rose to come with him.
“Andrew?
I think am going to stay here for a little while,they need me…
I will be back home in the evening”
Rose said.
“Alright, then…
See you later, rose
He replied and walked out.
Rose nodded.
