Oscar cleared his throat and itched the back of his neck. Laquan maintained a quiet and relaxed face. "Miss Laura,"he breathed out then smiled. "What would be my gain if I do that?" "I sell the company back to you,of course, that's the gain you're aiming for,no?"she shrugs. "No..."he moved his head closer to her's. "I will be paying you in two different ways,so, shouldn't I have more than one gain?"he husked. "You're the one in need the most. You shouldn't get too greedy. One gain is an enough gain." Laquan smirks. "Miss Laura,no."he chuckled and moved his head back. "Clearly,you need a strong support right now,and that support is me." He folds his arms before grabbing her drink and taking a quick sip. A deep frown appeared on her face. "I heard your last album is not doing quite well. You're about to lose your prestige to a newcomer who has managed to win people's hearts in days. What was the title of that album again?" "I lose,you gain."Oscar tried hard not to laugh. "
.. Three Days Later. ... Laquan has acquired the company and is now turning it into a fabric industry. He got out of the company,heading out to the garage. An old car drove in and a man stepped out of the backseat. Laquan stopped walking and turned sideways to give him a proper look. Gabriel?. A scoff slides out of his mouth. Here comes the man that fired them all in a day. He'd sent Oscar and his lawyer to sign the Asset Purchase Agreement back then so he and Gabriel didn't met. Gabriel lifted his gaze and as it met with Quan's,his brows furrowed up. "You must be wondering if I am Laquan?,or his twin?"Quan smirks. "I don't have time for a noise maker like you. I am here to see the new owner of.." "Oh,that's me."Laquan cut him off with a smirk. "What a pity though,Gabriel. I was just heading out now so I don't think we can talk. Are you here to beg for money?. You don't look too well. Oscar,give him some cash. Make sure to get yourself some new clothes too."Quan snic
.. "Well,grandpa,that was not at all cool! You don't get to choose my bride for me."Laquan was infuriated. They just got back from the ceremony,late in the night. They were both in Alessandro's living room. Alessandro and Teodora came in. Laquan brushed his eyes over them before looking away. "Take that rude stare back,boy!"Teodora chirped. Quan scoffs. "Make me." She made to make another remark,but her father stop her. "That's enough,Dora. You both should rest as this is only an act. We want you both to work together without the enemies suspecting. There are several cases to be taken care of. First is the butcher man case. He was killed in the streets three days ago. We suspect it to be the Yaar's loan lenders but you know,we need evidence,as that is the only thing people believe in now." "What has that got to do with me?. Dad,I..."Laquan paused and slap his forehead. "Grandpa,I would like to go back and deal with American business rather than stay here with this Ita
The girl's eyes twitched. She cachinnates, nervously. "I see we've got psychopaths here. I've got nothing to say to you guys,so take your leave."she said. Laquan strained his eyes at her. "Why not quit the pretense,girl?."he nudged his head at her. She glared at him then snickers. She brought out a table knife and brandished it in the air before bending down to lift another girl. Just as Laquan's predictions,the salesgirl was being hold captive. "Come near and I will kill her."she placed the knife on her neck,menacingly. Laquan stepped back. "Well,miss Dora. Your call." Teodora scoffed before turning back to the culprit. "Let's cut ourselves some slack. Why don't you free her and I let you off the hook?. I'm not a cop, after all."she declined her head to the side. Laquan chuckled behind her. "So,you are going to save your ass now?"he uttered,sarcastically. Dora ignored him,raising her brows questioningly at the lady. "You want me to believe you?. As if,this is not H
.. Three Hours Later. .. "It's nothing serious, ma'am. He will be fine. His injuries has been taken care of."the doctor explained. Teodora nodded vigorously without saying a word. "Don't worry too m–" "Just go."she cuts him short abruptly. The doctor was taken aback. He looked at her crankily before streaking off to other patients in the bay. Laquan's eyes opened and he grunts then touched his head which had been wrapped up with a bandage. "You did resurrect after three days,baby Jesus."Dora's voice pitched beside him and he scoffed. "Hm,here, cigarettes. You said you wanted one back there in the store."she displayed a pack of it in his face. Laquan wore a frown. "I am only holding back because of the relationship between your grandpa and I. If not.."he paused and took a sharp breath in. "If not what?"she arched her brows. "You just piqued my interest now."she chuckles and tucked the packet of the cigarette back in her trouser's pocket. "What would you have done?"she s
"Boss!"Oscar shrills behind him. Laquan covered his face slightly and bent his head. "Boss, what happened to you?." Quan raised his head up with a snort. "Nothing. I..fell while coming in so.." "And, you've had your head bandaged already?"Oscar eyes squinted. "Oh..yes..out there,I suddenly tripped.."Laquan breathed out a reply. "I used him as a shield so what you gonna do?"Dora turned to Oscar. "Shield?. You mean,you blocked some punches off by using him as a shield?" "You aren't deaf. You heard me. You wanna fight?, bring it on."Dora straightened her hands. Oscar let's out a chuckle. "I..I mean,he is my boss!"he pressed his lips together to prevent himself from laughing out loud. "Come defend your boss then."Dora huffed. "Everything is not about fighting, daughter. Sometimes,you just have to sit down and think before throwing a kick in the air."Alessandro looks up at her. Dora rolled her eyes up to the ceiling. Laquan scoffed and went to his room. .. In a room with wh
Laquan ran his fingers in his hair, frustratingly. "When I complete this task,you will tell me where they are?"he turns to Stephen. Stephen shook his head, negatively and Quan's face wrinkled up in a glare. "After the whole task is done,I will tell you."Stephen corrected. "And,if you don't?" "Trust me,Quan."he snorts. "What's this mission about?"Quan sighed while going to sit down on the couch. "You have a loose brain,boy?. We've been told what it was all about yesterday."Dora chipped in with an eyes roll. "I might really cut off your tongue one day."Laquan threatens. "Try me then."she huffed. "Dora!"Alessandro scowled. "Simmer down,grandpa. You don't wanna die cause of high blood pressure. I'm only trying to teach this young boy here the way of the streets."she sniggers. "Fake or not, you've both sworn to stand by each other in difficult times at the altar. Don't push him into any more dangers."her grandpa scolded. "Oh,well,I kind of played on the words back there so I d
Sophie dressed up in another outfit,added a little mascara on her face and applied a little lipgloss on her lips. She drove down to Lucas's house. 'Honk! Honk! Honk!"she horned repeatedly. The gate was finally opened and she drove in, instantaneously. She stopped the car and stomped out, boiling in rage. "What took you so long?!"she lashed at the gate man. "I apologize,miss Sophie. This won't repeat itself again."he bowed. "Better."she rolled her eye and shuts her door loudly. "Of course,it won't happen again."she suddenly said after remembering what she was there to do. "Miss Sophie,did you tell boss that you would be coming over today?"one of his boys questioned her as politely as he could. Sophie flicked her hair back in contempt. "Ew! I have to book an appointment with my boyfriend before coming down to see him?. Who made that rule?"she sneered at the guy. "Well,I..you don't normally show up here out of the blue before. You always tell him when you would be coming ove
