The next morning, the sunlight streamed through the curtains, waking them up gently. Harvey was the first to stir, his arm still wrapped around Rebecca. He watched her for a moment, marveling at how beautiful and peaceful she looked when she slept.

As it serising his gaze, Rebecca’s eyes fluttered open, and she smiled softly at him. “Morning,” she whispered.

“Morning.” he replied, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Ready to face the day?” Rebecca sighed but nodded. “Yeah, let’s figure this out.”

They decided to start by reaching out to a private investigator, someone who could help them gather more information on Nicholas’s connections. Harvey’s friend Josh recommended a guy named Max, who had a reputation for being thorough and

discreet

Meeting Max at a small cafe downtown they quickly filled him in on their situation. Max listened intently, his sharp eyes missing nothing.

This sounds like a complex case. It’s easier to deal with criminal but Nicholas, I think he has mental issue,” Max said, leaning back in his chair. “But I can help. I’ll start digging into his connections and see what I can find. In the meantime, keep a low profile and stay vigilant.”

With Max handling the situation, Harvey and Rebecca felt a bit more hopeful. “Let’s try to do something normal today,” Harvey suggested. “How about we explore some new places?”

Rebecca smiled, “That sounds like a great idea.”

They started their day by visiting a charming park they had never been to before. “This place is beautiful,” Rebecca said, looking around at the lush greenery and blooming flowers.

Harvey nodded, “I can’t believe we’ve never been here!

“Have you heard any news about Alicia?” asked Rebecca carefully.

Harvey let out a long sigh. “My assistant says she’s still trying to contact me, can I be honest?”

Rebecca nodded, feeling nervous. “Yeah?”

“I do care about Mia and Alicia, I hope their punishment can be a lesson, although honestly I’m not sure they will change,” Harvey said, his face looked gloomy.

Rebecca held his hand and gripped it gently, We can’t do anything, but we can hope,” she looked at him, smiling.

That evening, as they walked hand in hand through the park, the soothing sounds of the rustling leaves and chirping birds calmed their nerves. The sky was painted in shades of orange and pink as the sun set, creating a picture–perfect moment.

“This is nice,” Rebecca said, leaning her head on Harvey’s shoulder. “I wish we could have more moments like this.”

“We will,” Harvey promised, squeezing her hand. “Once this is all behind us, we’ll have all the time in the world to enjoy moments like these. I regret not doing more with you a long time ago.” He took Rebecca’s hand and kissed it gently.

The next few days,

Max called with news. “I’ve found something,” he said, his tone serious. “Nicholas has been in contact with a known criminal organization. That’s the reason why he could have acquaintances with dirty people from the DEA. They’re not to be taken lightly. The organization needs money and all Nicholas wants is

you, Rebecca.”

Harvey’s heart sank, he turned to see Rebecca and tried to comfort her.

“You two need to be extremely careful,” Max warned. “These people don’t play games. But don’t worry, I’m working on getting more information. We’ll find a way to protect

you.

Harvey, I think we need to see Nicholas again. We have to talk to him heart by heart He has mental issue, we can’t force him to confess everything. said Rebecca after Max ef Harvey let out a long sigh and nodded. “You’re right. Let’s go see him tomorrow then he decided at last.

The next day.

Nicholas entered the room, he looked annoyed as he saw Harvey but his expression change when his eyes bumped into Rebecca. Back so soon?” he sneered, picking up the phone.

“Cut the act. Nicholas, Harvey said, his voice cold. “We know about your connections. We know you’re working with dangerous people. This needs to stop, now or you’re gonna face heavier punishment!”

Nicholas’s eyes narrowed. “You think you can threaten me? You have no idea what you’re dealing with

Rebecca leaned forward, her voice steady. “Nic, we’re not threatening you. We’re giving you a chance to end this peacefully. If you don’t, things will get much worse for you.”

Nicholas scoffed. “You can’t scare me. I’ve got nothing to lose.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. Harvey said, his tone menacing. You have everything to lose. And we’re not going to let you ruin our lives.”

For a moment, Nicholas looked uncertain, but he quickly masked it with anger. “Get out, he spat. “This isn’t over.”

“You’re right,” Rebecca said calmly. “It isn’t over. But it will be soon.”

She stood up, putting a photograph she was once stole from Glen Bennett house on the small glass hole in front of her so Nicholas would see it “Don’t you care about them?” she asked, pointed at the Nicholas‘ parents photograph.

Nicholas glared in surprise, he took the photograph and left without saying anything.

“Max, I think we need to find Victor, said Rebecca when she and Harvey met Max in the Cafe. “He’s the key to unraveling Nicholas’s network, right?”

Max smiled. “Easy peasy lemon squeezy, I’ve found him! He and his gangs were hiding in some werehouse in the bronx. We’re going to move tonight. The faster the better, he said firmly. “But remember, we’re there to gather information and confirm Victor’s

Rebecca held her breath nervously and nodded.

Later that night, Harvey, Rebecca and Max team gathered outside the werehc looked dark and dangerous. Their hearts pounding with anticipation. Max an took the lead, slipping inside the warehouse while Harvey and Rebecca stayed behind.

The warehouse was dimly lit, filled with crates and machinery. They moved si through the shadows, listening for any sign of Victor. Suddenly, they heard vo coming from a room at the back of the warehouse.

Max motioned for them to stay back as he and his team crept closer. They pee inside, spotting Victor and a few of his men gathered around a table, discussing something in hushed tones.

Max turned to Harvey and Rebecca, whispering, “Don’t make any noise. We’re g get closer and see if we can overhear their conversation.”

Harvey and Rebecca nodded, their nerves on edge. They walked very slowly, try hard not to make any noise. Victor raised his hand, signaling them to stop.

“I don’t care what Nicholas and Victoria wants Victor was saying, his voice low a menacing. “He’s in no position to make demands. We do things my way, or not a

Rebecca glared in surprise. Victoria? Did he mean Victoria, Harvey’s mother? She turned to Harvey and found him as tense as she was.

“I don’t want to use complicated dramas like they did before. We can make things easier. I already have a plan and Victoria has to agree, otherwise she will not only l her stepson, but also her own life,” said Victor then sucked the cigarette deeply.

Rebecca glared, she reached out to hold Harvey’s hand and found him shaking violently.

“Alright, delivery is coming soon! Let’s get to work!” Victor shouted as he hit the tab hard, making all his men get up from their seats.

Max hurriedly motioned for everyone to follow him. They walked quickly out of the warehouse area and safely reached the car.

“Listen, this is really unexpected, but for now I will focus on eliminating Victor. We

don’t have valid evidence that he is the mastermind behind everything but we can look for traces of his other crimes. It’s drugs! They’re taking delivery tonight and I’m calling the FBI to arrest him,” said Max,

Rebecca gulped, she wanted to ask Max about Victoria but seeing Harvey’s face made her unable to say a word.

“Okay, Max. Thank you,” said Rebecca because Harvey was too consumed with his own thougts.

“Harvey, are you okay?” asked Rebecca as they drove home. Harvey nodded, “Yeah, it’s a shock to hear my mother’s name in that conversation but to hear the fact that I am the stepson is another thing.” he answered flatly, hiding his emotion.

“We don’t know whether Victor was talking about your mother Victoria or not, it could be someone else, right?” Rebecca said, trying to comfort Harvey.

Harvey shrugged.

“Yeah, maybe.”

Later that night when they just reached their house, suddenly
