It took a little while before Maddox could get himself back, but luckily for him, he did it in a way that seemed less suspicious.“Well, I saw you by chance and decided to follow you. Don't take it wrong. I followed you because I know you're not the kind of person to move around anyhow and was just curious to see who you were probably going to meet after the previous encounter you had.”“Oh. Then you must have seen those men going into the hotel. I believe there was a fourth person among them, but I couldn't make sense of all the things I was seeing. Did you see a fourth person among them?” Lauren asked again.“No. I only saw those men when they went in. And that's what made me a little uncomfortable seeing you stay in that hotel where you could encounter horrible people there. Thankfully, my hunch was right about the situation.” Maddox explained and she nodded her head, understanding how he came to save her.“Could it be the fourth person was already waiting for me? Hold on. The hote

Chapter 124Kohler’s feet slapped the marble floors harshly, as she made her way to her room hastily, tears blinding her eyes. She didn't want anyone to stop her— didn't want anyone to see her with such tears in her eyes. She knew Quincy would find out about what she did sooner or later, and the fact that he wasn’t looking at her made her feel hurt.There was no way she would explain to anyone of her sorrow and pain. They wouldn't understand.How can Quincy be this emotionless towards my situation? Does it mean that he didn’t love me deeply as his wife, back then? How could he easily give up on me? How was Lauren Shane better than me in any way? I was far better than her.Quincy had certainly made the wrong choice for choosing Lauren Shane over me.Once she was in her room, she went straight to her wardrobe, throwing it open.With anger, she packed all that her hands could get a hold of, and threw them onto the bed, before returning to pack up the rest.“We don't have to stay.” She s

Kohler walked further, and it seemed like she was already in a tunnel. Although she had no idea of where she was heading, she held on to the quote that stated, “There is light at the end of a tunnel.” Kohler hoped that the light would lead her to a better place than where she was, currently.She had had it in mind to run far from there, and probably go somewhere far, to start a new life, and maybe fall in love with someone who cared about her and was true about his feelings, but since she had just discovered that someone was after Quincy’s life, she had to at least, warn him about it.This particular man seemed to be dangerous, but if Quincy was very well prepared, there was a high chance he would be able to defeat them, whenever they came, especially if it was going to be a war, they would rage on them without letting them know of it.Kohler could see rays of light, which meant she was close to the end of the tunnel, and that made her feel excited and happy.On getting closer to th

Fear rippled through Kohler like the waves on the sea, and she began to run in the dark, adrenaline rushing through her, and filling her brain with danger signs. Kohler's heart seemed to beat in her throat, wanting to burst out, and finally, she stumbled. “Ah!” Kohler screamed from the pain and the fear that she would suddenly feel something heavy and menacing land on her back. Gasping, she struggled to get to her feet, then realized she had stumbled on the staircase. With relief mingled with terror, she began to climb, using her hands and legs. Kohler got to the very top, and pushed… “Ah…” She cried as the floorboard came open, revealing light. Immediately, she hoisted herself onto it, and tumbled into the room, hurriedly sealing the floorboard shut. _*Why isn't there some kind of lock to it? What if the creature comes bouncing up the stairs in search of me, and leaps against the floorboard?_* She thought to herself restlessly _*What would happen when I was locked in the

Quincy on the other hand hadn't seen or heard from Kohler, and he felt it was probably because she just wanted to clear her head and heal up or whatever was bugging her that made her want to come back to him.Over the last few days, things had been a little awkward between him and Lauren because of the whole sex thing that happened between them.So, they both agreed not to do anything about their relationship status until they had taken the things that were on their plate.While he ended up on dead ends regarding the person who tried to drug Lauren, he hoped that he would still find a lead on the case and punish the person who did such a horrible thing to her.“Are you prepared for tomorrow's event?” Scott asked him as he walked into his office.“What event?” Quincy asked, looking confused.“Mr. Prescott's,” Scott responded, not surprised that Quincy could have forgotten.Many events had played out and had been housed in his head, so it was expected that he might not remember a thing.
