Kohler walked up to her, regardless of the paper which she saw on the table, and hoped that whatever she had to confess, it wasn’t something which wouldn’t be able to sit well with her, no matter how much she tried to understand.

She had her seat, and let out a sigh.

“You asked to see me.” She uttered as she stared into Deborah’s eyes.

She couldn’t tell yet, if Deborah was sober about what she wanted to say, or she was just trying not to look too weak, especially because they were in public.

“Yes, I did. And that’s because I have a confession to make, just as I have told you already. But first, thank you for accepting to see me, because I know, with all I have said, and done, when it comes to you and your husband, Quincy, you aren’t supposed to care about seeing me, right now.” She uttered and sighed.

“It’s fine. Everyone deserves a listening ear. But right now, what’s important is how fast you get on the matter because I was in the middle of something when you called.” Kohler spoke,

    When Kohler got home, she tried to avoid Quincy’s inquisitive look as there was no way she could tell him such a thing.“How was it? What did you both, talk about?” Quincy asked her, out of concern.“Well, it’s nothing to think about.” Kohler responded as she hung her bag in the room. “Well, whatever it is, I expect you to talk to me about it.” Quincy insisted, looking at her with worry.Then she let out a sigh and sat on the bed.“Well, she only apologized, and said some unnecessary things.”“I see. Does she think we are going to let our guard down, just because she apologized? No way.” Quincy spoke.Kohler knew that if Quincy knew what discussion she had actually had with Deborah, he would be angry, and probably make things worse for Deborah, who was reporting her to Mr. Walter.So, it was best for her not to say a word about it.“Well, regardless of what anyone does, I’m certain we are going to get the contract,” Kohler uttered, with a smile.Quincy also held her hands and looked

    Kohler’s heart was beating, seriously. She had to think of what to do to make sure he didn’t see Deborah, or that was the end.Before Quincy’s head could turn enough to see Deborah who was coming out of the restaurant, she pulled him so close to her, and enveloped his lips with hers.Quincy’s eyes widened open as he was shocked. He wasn’t expecting this move from his wife, but he played along as he was enjoying it.After they had kissed for a few minutes, Kohler was certain that Deborah would have gone, so she leaned back on her seat, and exhaled sharply.“That was a sweet, and sharp move. We could do this more often.” Quincy teased, and Kohler blushed.Now, she could smile, while feeling relaxed, knowing fully well that there was no trace of her, meeting with Deborah.“Alright, we can head over to that restaurant which you said is very good at making milkshakes,” Quincy uttered, and Kohler smiled.“Not so fast. What about your car?”“Yeah. I’m coming. Just a call.”Quincy reached for

    Kohler had to turn to him, with her mouth, gaped open.“I don’t understand.”She knew there was no other way around it; a way she could use to make him not to think that she was faking it.“I’m sorry. I was agitated. You were like, cheering me up to leave who I ought to have left. Enough is enough. I have tried a lot.” Kohler said, with energy, and it made Charles chuckle.His interest in her, sparked up, and he rose to his feet as well and held her by her waist.“I feel so lucky to have you, right now.” He said, then hugged her, and he began to kiss her neck, and everywhere possible around that part.Kohler was highly tempted to kick him in between his legs, but she had to stay calm, so she could execute her plan.Thankfully, the glass of wine was still in her hands, so, she could be able to get the perfect excuse to get him to leave.She managed to spill the glass, on his clothes, and he moved back, then dusted it.“Oh, goodness! This shirt is expensive.” He uttered sharply, then he

    “You know what? It’s alright. It’s alright. I’m going to stop bugging her.” Charles relented, and Kohler felt relieved and happy that she managed to get him to back out.“Good. I’m glad you know what’s best for you. By the way, I’m done having a conversation with you. I’ve got to go.” Kohler said, then left. Kohler dropped her phone and let out a sharp relieved breath. She didn’t know that she would be able to pull it off excellently, but she was glad she was able to do it.Her phone rang again, and then she answered the call.“Oh, thank goodness. For you to have answered the call, it must have gone well.” Deborah uttered softly, sounding relieved.“Yes, it did. Although, it wasn’t easy, but then, I pulled it off.”“I’m so glad you did. Alright, I think we need to meet, so we can deliberate on what to do with the recording, and how to guard it, if it needs to be kept.” Deborah uttered, and Kohler agreed.She drove off to that same restaurant where they were meant to meet, and even wh

    Since the tone of his voice, wasn’t that harsh and all, she was still calm and was able to continue eating. Quincy on the other hand, was having a good day, because the meeting he had earlier, went the way he wanted it to work out.~flashback~Quincy and Scott sat in the office, and when they had settled down, they began to talk on the reason for their meeting.“So, what should be the next step? Since we have announced the Garuma Contract, many people would have been waiting for the necessary process, needed to be done.” Scott spoke as he placed a document on the table.“I know. My representative is on his way, right?” Quincy questioned.“Yes, he is.”“Good. Make the process, public, so people can start coming to submit their proposals or whatever they have.”“Okay, I’ll do just that,” Scott responded as he wrote down some things.Not long after they had their meeting, they were informed that his representative at his company, in China, had arrived, so they went to the conference roo

    “Can I get more of these?” Kohler asked, going about her shopping, trying to ignore the man staring at her. She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over her. The man, standing across the aisle, was fixated on her, his gaze piercing through her like a dagger. There was a long nasty scar so close to his right eye, and it only helped his unwavering stare make her skin crawl. The feeling she felt could be likened to an insect under a microscope.Every move she made, every snack she picked up, was met with an unblinking gaze. It was as if he was studying her, analyzing her every action. Once more, Kohler tried to brush it off, thinking maybe he was just lost in thought, but the intensity of his stare made it impossible to ignore.Why in the world was he staring at her!? Was he a pickpocket waiting for her, or someone with a nasty intention?Kohler’s discomfort grew with each passing moment. Her heart raced, and her palms grew sweaty. “Can you hurry with that please, and where c

    Kohler couldn’t stay calm as she kept re-reading the message over and over, trying to wonder who could have done this to her child.“Could it possibly be that man, because I told him I’m married?”~flashback~Kohler had felt the urge to ask him why he had been staring, but the situation was just too eerie for her to bother asking. “Who knows what it could lead to, if I tried to ask?” She thought to herself.Without wasting much time, she picked up all that she wanted to get, and then paid for it, even without collecting the change as she had told the seller not to bother.Just as she began to head back to where Quincy and the kids, were, she heard quick footsteps behind her, and she almost screamed, if not that he jumped right in front of her.Although, she gasped in shock as she wasn’t expecting him to pop up just in front of her.“Why are you stalking me!” Kohler voiced out, trying to muster up the courage to confront him.But then, he chuckled, and swept his flying hair, to the ba

    A message then came on his phone from a strange number.“Having fun, trying to breach my walls, then. Well, you ought to have known by now, that it isn’t possible, except you’re okay with being destroyed, and still not getting what you want.”Quincy squeezed his face, and could almost punch through anything to let out the frustration which was eating him up. Then he texted him, back.“Enough of these games, and cut to the chase!” He texted, feeling impatient, already.Then another text came in.“Alright, If you are ready to work on my terms, to get your daughter, you’ll have to pay 5 billion dollars and I give you just three days to provide that.”Right there, Quincy felt something huge drop in his heart, like a sinking rock.Although, he was capable enough to provide that money, but he had to keep his identity, hidden. He couldn’t possibly pay it, without Kohler questioning him on how he got the money. Even though he told her that a friend or a Samaritan helped with the money, she wo

    Chapter 166Kohler slowly stirred awake the next morning to the soft strains of music drifting through the air. Her mind, still foggy with sleep, searched for the familiar warmth of Quincy beside her, but the space in the bed was cold and empty. Confused, she opened her eyes, blinking away the haze of dreams. As her gaze adjusted, something unexpected caught her attention—rose petals, scattered across the bed in delicate patterns of red. Her heart skipped a beat. She sat up, her fingers brushing over the soft petals, a surprised smile forming on her lips. The roses didn’t just cover the bed; they formed a trail on the floor, leading out of the bedroom like a path designed to guide her somewhere.Curiosity piqued, Kohler swung her legs off the bed and stood, her bare feet padding softly across the floor. The music played softly in the background, its romantic melody weaving into the air like a whisper meant just for her. Her heartbeat quickened, and she followed the trail of rose peta

    Chapter 165Lauren stiffened in her seat, her eyes narrowing as she recognized Talia. Damien stood immediately, stepping in front of Lauren protectively. “Talia, this isn’t the time,” he said, his voice firm but calm.Talia ignored him, her eyes locked on Lauren. “I should have known you’d go crawling to her the moment I was out of the picture,” she sneered. “But you’re making a mistake, Damien. You’re supposed to be with me!”Damien clenched his jaw, frustration rising. “You need to leave. Now.”Talia took a step closer, her gaze flickering between Damien and Lauren. “You think she’s better than me?” she spat. “You think she’ll stick by you the way I did? She’ll break your heart.”Lauren stood up, her eyes steady and calm. “Talia, this is between Damien and me. I understand that you’re upset, but barging in like this won’t change anything.”Talia’s face twisted in anger. “You think you’re so special? You’re nothing, Lauren. Nothing compared to what Damien and I had.”Damien moved clo

    Chapter 164Darius studied Kohler for a moment, his expression hard to read. The tension between them hung in the air like a thick fog, both of them playing a delicate game of manipulation and trust. "I'll be the judge of that," he replied, his voice calm but sharp, like the edge of a blade.Kohler chuckled lightly, masking the slight tremor that threatened to creep into her voice. "Fair enough," she said. "But you know I wouldn't be here if I didn't have what it takes."Darius took a step closer, his gaze narrowing. "We'll see." He glanced over at Quincy, who remained motionless in the backseat, supposedly unconscious. "You’ve done well to bring him here. Now, let’s see if you can handle what comes next."Kohler swallowed hard but nodded, reminding herself to keep calm. Quincy had drilled into her the importance of staying in control. "Of course," she said, standing tall.Darius gestured to one of the men, and he stepped forward with a syringe filled with a clear liquid. "This," Dari

    Finally! Darius was ready to meet with Kohler as he had trusted her well enough. He had sent poison to her and told her to induce it in Quincy’s drink, and that’s only when he could trust her.“Is everything set?” Quincy asked Kohler.“Yes. I’m all set.” She responded. “Wow. The color looks just perfect on your body. He is going to fall for this.” Kohler chuckled.“I know, right? When he gets caught, he would never put his loyalty to a bad man.” Quincy said with a smirk. “Alright, it’s time to go,” Quincy said, then they left the house, and Quincy was laid in the backseat of his car.Kohler then got into the driver’s seat and drove off to the location to which she was asked to come over. The ride was a little long, and the only reason he would do that was because the place would be a secluded area.That was the best kind of place for them to carry out operations like that.“Just ensure you do not act tense. You have to be as fluid as possible.” Quincy lectured her, and she nodded. “A

    A few days passed, and a day came when Damien’s grandfather called, and said he wanted to see both him and Lauren. “What do you think he might want to say?” Lauren asked him, out of curiosity. “Well, I don’t know. But I’m hoping it’s good news.” Damien said as he drove. At least, for the past few days that had passed, they had learned to tolerate each other again, so Liam didn’t need to be interrupting at every interval. Lauren felt herself tense as she didn’t know what the outcome could be. For days now, she had not seen Quincy, and then he had also made up with her by calling her and explaining the situation to her. She was glad that he at least explained to her, but she just couldn’t help but feel that he still had at least, an atom of love for Kohler, and that hurt her deeply each time she thought about it. Soon, they got to his family house, and on getting there, it was only the grandfather who was present at the dining table. But there was no food served there. “Welcome,

    Minutes before Liam answered the call, Damien was pacing around with his phone and leaned close to her ear, listening to the now annoying dial tone.“What the hell!” He said sharply under his breath as he kept on waiting.It was becoming frustrating that Liam hadn't answered his call ever since he left earlier with Lauren.The fact that he hadn't answered his call only made him a little worried because his phone was right in the car with him. He was hoping they hadn’t gotten into an accident or something.But then, even though they didn’t get into an accident, another reason he might not answer his call could be that his phone was on silent, but he wasn’t certain if it was on silent. But at least, he ought to know of their current whereabouts and if she was fine, but curiosity was beginning to eat her out.“If I still can't get through to them after calling and calling, I might have to get to the hotel to find out myself; hopefully Lauren would have checked in safely.” He said to him

    “Pfft!” Lauren scoffed and rolled her eyes at the answer he gave her.There was no way on earth that his answer was believable.Does Talia mean nothing to him? Lies. She said in her mind.“Oh, come on. Do we need to introduce lies to this newly found relationship? A friend of mine who looked into the case quickly told me that Talia is a crazy woman.” Lauren uttered, peering into Damien’s eyes as she waited for a response from him regarding that.But suddenly, his calm expression turned into a displeased one. His brows curved downward, and he maintained a cold look.“You know what? I’m not in any way comfortable with you keeping people like that as friends, talk more of someone that close to you since she doesn’t know how to mind her business.”“And how should that be something for me to consider? Remember, our contract doesn’t include you getting to choose my friends.” Lauren spoke also raising her brows.It was quite annoying to her that he had to attack her friend just to play his

    Damien didn't see this coming. He never thought that his mother would go to the extent that she didn't want him to get married to anyone but Talia. “Lauren!” Damien called out as he ran after her.She stomped her feet while walking towards the gate, and wasn’t willing to answer him. “Lauren!” He called out to her again as she passed by the gates, and then she stood close to the car and turned abruptly to him.“What is it!” Lauren snapped at him. “You brought me here just so your mother could speak demeaning words to me?” she questioned, feeling so much hurt in her.She hadn't recovered from the one Quincy gave her, so getting one from his mother wasn't what she signed up for.Suddenly, she noticed a lady walking towards them, and while she smiled at Damien, she gave her a sneer.The lady walked up to Damien and placed her hand on his chest as she trailed her finger on it. “Baby, I’m so happy I found you here.” She spoke cutely. Lauren rolled her eyes and was about to walk away wh

    Lauren was sobbing so hard in his car after letting out what was disturbing her. She was able to talk to him because they also related like friends at some point before the whole loving situation came in.“It's okay, Lauren. I understand you, and… I think I can also help you.” Damien said to her.As Damien let out those words, she turned to look at him with curiosity.“You can help me? How?” She asked and sniffled.“I'll just help you get your man. We'll find ways to do that, but you must help me in return. More like we should have a bargain.” Damien told her.“Okay, what's that?” “I want you to act like you're my fiancee and we'd like to get married. Just act that way before my mom and grandfather, then we're good to go.” Damien asked of her.That was a little difficult to do because claiming such could end up destroying her marital life one day, and she didn't want to take chances like that.“If you're scared about this, I'm assuming, you are one hundred percent safe,” Damien said,
