"Are you sure it's safe to take those two in?"Teresa trailed her fingers on the wall as she moved to the window. She was one of the ladies present at the JML'S event. "Of course."the man at the other end intoned. "I don't see why you decided to take them in. It's pretty gut-wretching,sh!t"she scoffed. "We just need their money and that's all. That should be what Sanchez was thinking about too when he called them in." Teresa brushed her hair back and breathed out. "The scumbag doesn't even know we are only using him to rise to the top. Hahahaha! I guess having him around would sure help also. It would be damn thrilling to get things work out with Italy markets."she chuckled. The man sighed. "How do you plan to handle the other stuff?" "Oof!"she slapped her forehead. "Don't even get me started on that one. It's giving me an headache."she pulled the curtains apart. "You shouldn't have killed her then." "She got on my nerves too much that I hate it!"she gritted. "For now
Grandma?. Laquan's brows creased up. He stared back at the house before staring back at the man. "I don't have any."he uttered. The man lift an eye up. That was when Stephen's words struck Laquan's mind. He has two grandmas. One is dead and Stephen didn't reveal where the other was even though she is alive. So,this man standing before him is from his second grandmother?,Julia?. "Master?"the man called. Laquan snapped out of his unconsciousness and sighed. "Why...does she want to see me?"he demanded,slowly. If he could remember very well,they all abandoned him. Why does she want to see him now too?. "I am not going."Quan muttered before the man could give him a reply. "She is waiting for you, master. She has been waiting for you for years. Why don't you wanna see her?." "Did you just said years?"Quan scoffed. Unlike Stephen,she knew he was born? Arg! They are all driving him crazy. He decided not to assume again as that wasn't helping. "I will follow you."he de
Lucas's eyes blinked,fastly. "I.. will come back when you're done reuniting with your grandson and.."he breathed out. "Oh,come on. Let's have lunch together."Julia smiled. "Lunch?. Ah,no,there would be need for that. I already had lunch at home."Lucas smiled. Instantaneously,his stomach rumbled, betraying his statement. "Is that so?"Julia stared at his stomach. Lucas smiled, jumpily before holding his stomach. "I will..have a bite or two then."he muttered. . "Our new project is going well,Lucas?"Julia questioned as they all began eating their food. "Yes,no problem,so far."he nodded. Laquan glanced at his phone and sighed. It's past 12:00pm. He have to finish the photoshoots then head back to America. He would set out for Edinburgh tomorrow. He should be able to complete his revenge plans in four days,maximumly. He drank from the pineapple juice and sighed out again. "Now that Laquan is here,I really think you guys should work together."Julia remarked. Both Quan and
"We will see to that. Your son,at all,doesn't look like a good man."Lucas rose up from the chair. "We will head out now then."Laquan said before shoving another spoon of the food in his mouth. "Bye,grandma." "You're not coming back?" "Yes. I gotta run back to America to sort other things out." "I see my grandson is quite a busy man."Julia chuckled. "Being busy makes a man rich. Till we see then."Quan pecked her cheeks. "Just don't run to America with my girl."Lucas rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's go,Lucai." "What sort of lame name is that?" "It's a nickname."Laquan smiled out. "I shall call you Laq then." "That sounds pretty cool."Laquan winked at him. "What the..?. Gross.."Lucas pushed his head back, repugnantly. ~ The cars screeched to an halt Infront of the building. Laquan and Lucas got out of their rides almost at the same time. "Shall we head in now?"Quan prodded to the building. They stepped inside and Sophie rushed out of nowhere. Upon seeing Lucas,she f
The shoot was a wrap - up. Laquan reminded Sophie to get things done on her own end too before leaving. "Boss?. Don't you think we should find an hotel to lodge at?. It's 3pm now. It would be 8pm in America. You won't be able to get anything done again too. You and I both look tired so.." "Let's just go, Oscar. What time do people go clubbing?" "8 or 9pm. Why do you wanna know about that,boss?. Did you found a girl you wanna go clubbing with?" "If people can go clubbing by 9pm,then why is it so bad for us to get back home by 8pm?" "Ahhh..well,the ride from the port to Louisville is another distance,thus, another time. It's 9pm,not 8pm." "All the same,let's move." ~ Six hours later. . "So, how was the meeting with your grandma?"Oscar enquired while they were on the road, heading to the mansion. "Cool. I think I've found the right people; my grandma and my mother."Quan grinned. "You reconciled with your mother?"Oscar asked. "I wouldn't do that even if I were at the
~ Five hours later. .. Laquan got out of the helicopter and stared around. Oscar and the head gaurd who had insisted to follow him as it was his duty to protect Laquan also stepped out. Laquan looked around in confusion. This place shouldn't be so. He remembered the dressings of him and other people back then were done in a traditional way. This place isn't at all a traditional city but a modern one. What's happening? They took a cab to a bookstore. Laquan grabbed about five books on history before going to settle down on a chair. He slammed the books down on the desk. "Boss, what are we doing?. Shouldn't we be heading to a palace now?"Oscar inquired. Laquan kept mute. He flipped through the pages of the first book while grating the words quickly with his eyes. He put the book aside after he'd turned to the last page and still got nothing. He grabbed another book and flicked past the pages too. He took the third book,then the fourth book. He breathed out in relief wh
The truck reversed immediately and sped off. *Holy moly!!* *What the hell?!* *Call an ambulance!!* The people around yelled. .. An ambulance arrived at the scene and the four of them were wheeled inside an ambulance each. Laquan's eyes flickered. He struggled to keep it open as the stretcher he was on was pulled hurriedly inside the van. "Nine stars.."he muttered under his breath. He saw nine stars in the sky. He breathed out, heavily. An oxygen plastic was placed on his nose down to his mouth. "I am going to send you far away.."he heard beside him. He turned and found a blurry vision of the master. He took a deep breath in before his eyes finally closed. .. "Scholar Kim?"a deep voice called. Laquan's eyes opened. He raised them up. "The emperor is ready to receive you. You may now go in."the guard bowed. Quan stared at his body and realized he has jumped into a different body aside from his. He gazed around and saw he was in a palace's surrounding. He felt some
Ava's eyes traveled over to him and he threw her a quizzical look. She crumpled up her face at him before turning away. Oh, right. He is in a scholar Kim body now so she wouldn't recognize him. But,what the hell is happening there?. If anything,he is good at reading facial expressions and he could point out that she wasn't pleased to be in that room. Was her family killed along the others? Then,she was kept there as an empty princess?. The emperor noticed Laquan's gaze was on Ava. He glared at her. "Scholar Kim, those are my beautiful three daughters."he gestured at his biological daughters. "Just turn a blind eye to the fourth one. She is nothing but a war booty. Guard! Take her away!"he ordered. He didn't told them to bring her along with his girls before. "You should just let her stay,your Majesty."Laquan said. "What?"the emperor asked. "Oh,pardon me if I overstepped my boundary right there. What I am trying to say is to let her stay since she is already here."Q
