Chapter 57

Maximus had been out of prison for six months now, having served time for a crime he didn't mean to commit. Once a big name in the industry, his sudden disappearance for three years had left many wondering. But now, with his license reinstated, he was back in the game.

"Here, go find him. He'll sort you out," Miranda said, handing Maximus a business card with an address and phone number.

Maximus, sitting across from Miranda, was dressed sharply in a suit, his hair slicked back neatly. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something striking about him, a certain charisma that added to his appeal.

He took the card from Miranda and read aloud, "Marion."

A slight grin appeared on his face. "So, he's the guy you saw before me?"

Miranda took a sip of her coffee, not giving much away. "He knows how to handle things. All my assets are with him. Stick with Marion, and you'll get paid."

Maximus tucked the card into his pocket. "You really trust him, huh?"

Miranda answered, "Well, that's why I have you, isn't it? In case he tries anything funny, you can bring him to justice."

Maximus was left speechless. Well, she'd got it all figured out.
