Although Lauren didn’t expect that he would react this way, she understood, anyway. She knew it wasn’t going to be an easy decision, but rather, a tough call.

“Calm down, Quincy. I’m sorry if I hit the wrong spot. I was just trying to be very realistic.” She said and rose to her feet. “But right now, you’re still in pain, and I’m sorry I haven’t given the answer that you would have loved to hear, but let’s meet again, Quincy.”

“You know very well that it’s because of our close relationship that you’re still standing in my office, comfortably, right? Lauren, with all due respect, please don’t see me if what you’re going to say, is going to be so annoying.” Quincy said to her, and she sighed, sadly.

“Quincy, I know you. You can always wriggle your way out of any situation; just don’t be too slow on this one. See you some other time.” She said to him and then left.

Quincy brushed his hair to the back, with his hand, and paced around, feeling annoyed. Half his day was more like it was pl

    On getting to Charles’ house, she texted him that she was already at his house. In no time, she saw him through his gates, walking towards her.She twitched her lips, and then looked away as she wasn’t interested in staring at him until he got to her. “Welcome. It’s quite sunny. Are you sure you don’t want to come in?”“Even if it is rainy, I would prefer to stand under the rain, than to go into your house.” She said, with clenched teeth.“For someone who wants to see how her daughter is faring, you have some stubbornness in you.”“If you don’t want to help me, I can just wait until the abductor sends a video to me, as well,” Kohler said, expressing how much she wasn’t interested in going into his home.She didn’t want any of what happened, to repeat itself. He could go crazy at any moment, and this time, have his way.“Hmm. Alright then. As you wish.” He said, then handed his phone over to her, unlocked.The first thing she saw was her daughter, looking scared, and she became anxiou

    Scott and Quincy heard that thump and then rushed to where they heard the thump, only for them to find out that it was Kohler.“Kohler. Are you okay?” he asked her as he helped her up.As she stood on her feet, she looked at him, dumbfounded. “What’s going on? Did I hear right?” Kohler asked, trying to understand what was going on.She was hoping that she didn’t hear what they said, well enough; that her husband could pay a sum of 5 billion dollars, but didn’t want toBoth Quincy and Scott exchanged looks. Quincy feared that she had heard what he didn’t want her to know about, all this while.“What did you hear?” Quincy asked her, trying to remain calm, and composed.“I just overheard you both, talking about how you can pay the 5 billion dollars, but you don’t want to. I don’t understand. So, you have such an amount, but you kept it from me? Alright, if you had your reasons, then that’s understandable. But the fact that your daughter’s life is on the line, you couldn’t release it? Oh

    “Kohler, hold on. You can’t just leave. Where are you going to?” Quincy asked, worried that she was really serious about her decision to leave. “You don’t need to know where I am going. And you also don’t need to worry about saving your child, anymore. If you can stand and watch her, being slaughtered, I can’t. I carried her in my womb for a good 9 months, and also went through the stress of raising her; if you know what I mean.”“Look. Calm down. We can figure a way out of this.” Quincy said to her, in a pleading tone.But she didn’t listen to him, even until she got into her car.“Quincy, please. Just stop.” She said, not wanting to hear any more word from him, then she drove off.While driving, she brought out her phone from her purse and then dialed Charles’ contact. The dial tone kept on ringing, but he didn’t answer the call.She drove off to his home instead as she felt he could have been away from his phone, and even if he wasn’t at home, his maid would certainly let her in.

    Charles couldn't believe his ears. Just like that? She was going to divorce Quincy? He had tried all he could to get her away from Quincy. Even while Quincy was unconscious, the trick had been Eunice. Eunice being abducted had easily done what Charles had always failed to do from the onset. Joy licked at him like the flames underneath a cooking pot, but he could not show it—not when Kohler was that devastated. He would now finally have a chance. “What caused the fight? What happened? I mean—are you sure you want to take things that fast?” He asked, looking into her eyes that still shone with the tears she had shed. Oh, Kohler was beautiful. She was graceful in every way and the thought of finally having her made him feel sweet inside. “I know what I'm doing. I'm no longer staying with him. It just can't be possible. If he can just…” she broke off, “Right now, I don't even understand him. It's like he's… I don't know.”“Tell me.”“You don't need to know the details of our fight, Ch

    Kohler was lost for words and couldn't believe that she was seeing Eunice, right before her eyes.Looking at the surroundings, she could see it was similar to the one that she saw in that video, which Charles showed to her.Kohler ran to Eunice and then loosened the ropes that were tied around her."Mommy." She cried out."My baby. You don't have to worry; mommy is here, now." Kohler said to Eunice as she untied her.Then she carried her."Look. You will have to follow me, to explain what this is all about." Kohler said, then she moved closer to the maid as she noticed she was scared and skeptical to go with her."Trust me. You'll be kept safe." She assured her.~About an hour later, Charles got home, and to his shock, he met cops in his living room, and some of them, seemed to have gone to another part of his house."What's going on here!" He raised his voice, annoyed that they had the guts to search around his home."We would like to say, Mr. Charles, you are under arrest." One of

    Quincy raised his eyebrows, wondering what Kohler meant by her parents being witnesses. “What do you mean? Witnesses to what?” He asked, and Kohler allowed him to walk out. “Witnesses to whatever happened here. I'm already processing our divorce, Quincy. My lawyer will be done with the papers in two to three days, and you will have to sign them.” She said, walking into the living room, and he followed her, not believing his ears.“Kohler, I know you're mad, and I know you desperately want to be away from me, but you have to let us talk this out. We need to find common ground and understand each other. Let's solve this, please. We can find a way around this. You don't have to be so hasty in making decisions.” He said as she sat on the sofa, crossing her legs. “Kohler.” He called when she refused to answer him. “I've made up my mind, and I will not put my lawyer through all the stress of getting our divorce papers, only to tell him I don't need it. Where is it done that way?” “Wher

    Kohler sat on her bed, staring at the sun rising against the sky, tinting it in lovely shades of pink and orange. She had been unable to sleep the whole night. Even though she wanted to divorce Quincy— she had been unable to erase the thoughts of when they had started as lovers. Back then, she had thought she knew him, and everything he stood for, and she had been ready to love him despite his shortcomings, but all of that changed the moment he woke up. She didn't admit it, but she had seen those little traces— the little differences in him, and finally overhearing him talk to Scott about such a huge amount of money, with such ease made it all come tumbling down. Who was the man she had married? Kohler sighed. About the man she was supposed to marry, her parents had been ecstatic about it and told her they would give her feedback on when she would meet with him. She only hoped he was likable, and didn't have annoying qualities that would upset her, and make her regret agreei

    Quincy still couldn’t get over what he had remembered. He was now at home, and in the living room, trying to search his memory for the face of the lady he had slept with, but each time he tried, it seemed impossible; more like he was trying to give himself a headache.“Quincy. Is it true? You can’t remember who it was?” Scott asked as he walked in.Quincy had told him over the phone, what happened briefly, and that warranted Scott to come. “I seriously can’t remember, and I know the implications of that. Whoever that could be, could have taken pictures to her satisfaction, and used them to do whatever would favor her.” Quincy spoke worriedly. “There is no way to trace it as the bar’s CCTV had an issue, that same night. Just no trace of her.” He said, then ruffled his hair.“You know what? Just calm down, okay? This would still come to light. For now, let’s concentrate on another issue. So, you mean Kohler is serious about leaving you?” Scott asked, still finding it difficult to belie

    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,
