He had to go through several security checks before he was allowed into the prison to visit Brenda.It had been three long years since Brenda, his ex-wife, had been locked away for the unthinkable crime of murdering his first wife and Nuella's sisters and also for plotting against Nuella. He had vowed never to visit her, carrying the weight of his own grief and anger. But the recent events had shaken him to the core. After Celine had crossed a line that could not be ignored.

The pain was too unbearable for him to bear.Oliver stood there and watch his men torture the hell out of the man. “Boss he has lost consciousness” Jack said “Then wake him up” Oliver said “But…….” Jack wanted to explain that the torture was already too much for him to handle but when he saw the cold look on the face of his boss, he could not finish his statement.
