.. "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
Teodora ran to a door with laquan behind her, panting heavily. She kicked the door to the balcony opened and rushed in. "Get them!!"the Yaar boys yelled. Laquan hurriedly ran in then bolts the door. Dora scoured her eyes around and huffs. The place was not exactly large so fighting there wouldn't be easy. "Let's jump!"she announced. Laquan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Ju..mp??!! That's a three - storey building! Without further ado, Dora climbed the railings and jumped off. Quan's mouth opened in shock. "Open the goddamn door!"kicks and punches started landing on the door. His heart skipped a beat. He watched in terror as they tried pulling the door down. Realizing the dilemma he was in,he decided jumping off is better than getting caught by those boys. He shuts his eyes before falling out. It's better not to know how he would die. *Splash!* He was expecting to land on the hard concrete floor but his body was lunged into a pool instead. His eyes snappe
Dora directs the car swiftly into a sharp corner and stared at the side mirror. The Yaar boys are yet to catch on to them. She horned loudly when she saw a man pulling a wheel barrow filled with several fruits Infront of the car. "You wanna die,old man?!! Get out of the way!!"Dora popped her head out of the window and yelled at him. The man looks up and gasps at the fast approaching car. He ran away from the road leaving the fruits there. Dora inhaled a sharp breath before squeezing her way past the wheel barrow. She could have run it down but she didn't want that. After all,the street was a peaceful one and cars hardly passes by there before she brought commotion to it. The Yaar boys cars showed up behind them and Dora smirks. "If these boys get successfully detained,I would call you my husband."she gave a quick glance at the frightened Laquan who has surrendered all to Jesus as he didn't saw a way out for them. Laquan stared back at her in an unfathomable way. It looks mo
