The year 2009, London, United Kingdom.
It has been eight years since Jeremy's family died and six years since he had woken up from his coma. When he woke up, the first thing he asked of was his finally. The doctors were surprised that he could still remember what happened to his family.
When Mr. Diamond, Abraham Akinsola's bodyguard saw that his boss's son didn't wake up after few months of being in a coma, he took him to a good hospital in London and decided to settle In London with Jeremy, his son Yomi, and wife Marianne.
Growing up for Jeremy was hard. After waking up from his coma of three years, he turned himself away from the world, and one day out of the blue, he decided to commit suicide because he felt there was nothing left for him in the world again. Thanks to Mr diamond, who saw him and save him from his suicide. Jeremy was sent to a psychiatrist home and stayed there for two years and when he came back after getting discharged, he began to act like the normal kids around until he was insulted for having no parent.
"Stop acting like you have anyone beside you. Your parent is dead because they hated you," one of the teenage boys in the school he attended with Yomi had mocked him one afternoon. Jeremy got furious and beat the boy until he bled out.
Mr diamond figured out that the best way Jeremy could recover from his trauma was to get him a therapist. Jeremy who was eighteen years at that time went for the session for him to overcome his trauma.
"What do you wanna become when you grow older?" The therapist, a middle-aged woman once asked Jeremy in one of their session.
"I've wanted to become a lawyer like my father, " Jeremy replied timidly.
"Why do you want to become a lawyer?"
"Because someone killed my family. It only fair that I bring them to justice."
"Why do you think your family was murdered?"
Jeremy balled his hand into a fist before answering the therapist. "Listen, I know that my family was murdered because I heard him saying it."
"Who is him?"
Jeremy stood up from the seat he sat on and yelled, "That voice. The voice belonged to the person who murdered my family and I'm going to find him."
Jeremy kept the promise to himself and continue to attend the sessions to get better. He became better in his academics although he didn't socialize with others because he saw them as a distraction.
"How is school coming up?" His therapist had asked him from one of their sessions after he got better.
"School is going fine," Jeremy replied with a smile.
"It's nice to see you smile after a long time, Jeremy. So any friend?" His therapist asked.
"No friends. Friends are distractions."
"That's is not true Jeremy. Good Friends are not distractions instead they are sent from God as guardian angels. Do you have anyone that wanted to be your friend?"
Jeremy shook his head but when he remembered something, he nodded.
"Who is he?"
"My father's bodyguard son."
"What is stopping you from becoming friends with him?"
Jeremy didn't say anything for a while and when he said something, he knew that he was wrong.
"I don't trust people easily."
"Yomi might be your guardian angel in form of your friend if you give him a chance." His therapist assured him.
When Jeremy got home that day, he invited yomi into his room for a video game, and from there, they became good friends.
Soon they became older and got separated for five years when Jeremy went to law school and yomi went to military school. After five years of separation, they finally reunited with Jeremy's graduation ceremony.
Jeremy was glad that his dream came to pass but he also knew that it was just starting. Until he gets his revenge on the killer of his family, his dreams were going to be left unfulfilled.
Before Mr diamond died, he told Jeremy everything he knew about his father and the evidence he gave to him. Mr diamond told him that when the time comes, he should make sure his family got the justice they deserved. After his death, Jeremy and yomi have been inseparable ever since then.

The year 2019
In the feathers meeting room, Daniel paced around the meeting room as he thought of what to do about his children that have been locked in prison for three weeks. He had tried all he could to get them out but he couldn't because it could raise a question against them and his children were charged with murder and rape. Even his influence and wealth couldn't get his children out of my prison.
"Daniel, have a seat. You've been pacing around the room for a while now. Pacing around isn't going to solve the case concerning your children." Simone advised and pointed to Daniel's seat." have a seat and think of what we could do to get them out of prison."
"This isn't only about them Simone. If my children should go to jail, all my hard work on those projects would go down." Daniel tried to explain to someone the possibility of losing the project plan.
"What's should we do now?" Alissa asked.
"I have no idea what to do. Every news feed is talking about Hamilton's boys. This could spoil the feathers reputation if we do not do something fast," park said.
"How about we destroy that lawyer's firm in case the evidence against your children are there?" Leonard suggested but Simone shook her head against his suggestion. "Then what do you suggest we do Simone?"
"I suggest we eliminate him," Simone whispered.
"There is no need for whispering Simone. This place isn't wiretapped," Alissa said, giving Simone a weird look.
"Is eliminating him going to solve everything?" Munachi asked Simone.
"Eliminating him won't only solve the case, it would stop the case. Without evidence, bribing the people and the press would be a simple thing." Simone said.
"That's a good suggestion but how do we eliminate him?" Alissa asked.
"It's simple Alissa," park stated and took his phone from the table and scroll through some feeds. "Here, it says hero lawyer collapsed after the case."
"That's was three weeks ago, we know." Munachi scoffed as he stared at the news.
"Yeah but you guys didn't know is that the lawyer is currently admitted into molly's hospital," Park informed them.
"No way!" Simone exclaimed, "how come I didn't know?"
"Owning a big hospital doesn't mean you'll have to know all its patients," Leonard said sarcastically.
"I know Leonard. This has just made his death too easy. Daniel gets Andre on the job and let's end this nonsense once and for all."Simone said.
" you think this your suggestion is going to help?"Daniel asked. He finally spoke up after he was silent for a while.
"It's the best idea right guys?" Simone asked the feathers and they all nodded.
"Let's get to it," Daniel said with a smile.
**********************
Andre got into Jeremy's ward unnoticed due to Simone's influence on the hospital. He was sent there to eliminate Jeremy unnoticed and to make his death seems like an accident and not like murder. Yomi who was supposed to have guarded Jeremy's door got a call that made him left the ward.
Jeremy laid on the bed with his eyes closed, his face had loose all color and he looked defenselessly on the bed. Andre looked around the room and took the perfect time to bring out a syringe filled with red liquid from his pocket. He moved closer to Jeremy and raised his hand to inject him but Jeremy opened his eyes and grabbed him by the hand.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked.
