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
