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
That was harsh on Scott as he already had his hopes raised high, that he would be able to get Kohler to come back, and Quincy would be happy.Although the situation and conversation she met, that day, could have been hurting, it was also something she was supposed to sort out with her husband, not divorce him. “At least, remember how good he has been to you. Shouldn’t you trust him in all situations?” Scott questioned her.“If you called me here to scold me, or make me feel like I’m in the wrong, then you are simply wasting your time. I have made up my mind to leave this marriage, and start afresh with someone who would do anything for Eunice and I. Trust me, I’ll find that person, if you think I wouldn’t.” Kohler said, with determination.Then she rose to her feet, with her purse, clutched to her hand.“If you don’t mind, I’ve got to take my leave.”Scott felt it deep within him that she was no longer the same person she used to be, and it didn’t make any sense to him that she chang
Two weeks later, Quincy was just coming back from Paris. He had a successful two-week event, which was more like the best moment in his life.“Yes, I’m back home, Scott.” He informed Scott, over the phone.“Finally! How did the last meeting, go?” Scott asked, out of curiosity.“Well, it went well. I’m now free. I have managed to keep to the terms and conditions, and no longer do I need to hide under a fake identity.” Quincy said to Scott, and Scott rejoiced, over the phone.Both of them were happy that they were alive, happy and hearty to witness this wonderful moment.“I’m on my way home. I’ll be taking the day, off, today. Then tomorrow, we can resume back to work. But then, this evening, we have to have our celebration.” “Sure, we can. I’ll come over to your home in the evening. For now, you should have some rest.” Scott said.“Alright, until evening,” Quincy uttered and then hung up.He smiled and dropped his phone.~flashback~“Alright, Mr. Quincy. We have tracked, and seen that
Scott noticed that Quincy’s mood had changed, and the way he looked, seemed like he had seen a ghost.“What’s going on?” Scott asked as he moved closer to Quincy, to find out what was going on.Without Quincy having to say a word, Scott looked at the text he got.“I just wanted to inform you that I’m two weeks gone. I was the one whom you slept with, the other day. Sorry, I couldn’t contact you; I went on an important trip, and I had less access to my phone. Let’s meet at a restaurant, now, to talk about it.” – Lauren Shane.“Oh, my goodness! It was Lauren you slept with! Oh, goodness!” Scott spoke, looking shocked.Quincy didn’t know what exactly to say as he was still taken aback by what he saw. “You know what? I think you should just see her. You both have to talk about this.” He uttered, trying to advise him.“I will have to meet her, then. I don’t think that baby is mine.” Quincy said.“We can’t find that out until she gives birth. So, if she is truly speaking the truth, about t
Quincy got home, with his celebrative mood, ruined. He threw one of the glasses of wine which he and Scott had used; at the wall, and walked up the stairs. At this moment, he just wanted to be on his bed, until sleep was ready to heed his call.The next day, he got a text from Lauren, talking about the test they were meant to have, today.“I don’t need to go for a test, since you said you are pregnant. I’m heading to work; I don’t want any disturbance.” He sent a text back to her.Then he got a call, a minute after sending the text, which he answered.“Why are you being so distant, and cold, Quincy? This is unlike you.” She complained softly.“This is what happens when you plot something like that against me, just to pin down a pregnancy on me,” Quincy spoke, being as transparent as he could.“Come on, Quincy. How is it a plot against you? Shouldn’t you use it as a way to get back at your ex-wife who left you at such a time?”“You can’t decide for me, what I’m meant to do, and what I’
Lauren was taken aback by what he said. She could tell that he spoke with anger, and knew that she was gradually pushing him to the wall."I was... I was blinded by my love for you." She said, with a broken voice."I didn't say I wasn't going to accept the pregnancy, even though sometimes I find it difficult to believe I would be in such a situation. But at least, I told you to give me time to be able to wrap my head around the situation." Lauren then sniffled and cleaned the tears which were left in her eyes, but refused to fall."Alright, I'm sorry if I made you feel choked. As long as you accept that the child is yours, I'll wait until you're finally ready for marriage." She agreed, even though it wasn't with all her heart. But she knew that to gain his heart and to be able to win in this situation, she would have to be very patient."Good. By the way, I'm sorry for raising my voice at you, and saying words I shouldn't have said." He apologized, sincerely."It's fine. I understan
After he met with Mr. Harrison, Scott came in as usual, ready to ask about how it went.“How did it go?” He asked, with a smile.Quincy smiled as well, but the reason he smiled was the way Scott had always been checking up on him, trying to be certain that things were going well for him, and it pleased him. He was glad that he was there for him when everyone else turned their back on him.“It went well. I’m going to be sponsoring them, and yes, they’ll be making use of our advertising agency. So, regarding the gain; it’s going to be 50:50.”“That’s still a fair share.”“Yes. So, tomorrow, you can deal with the finances. By the way, what about the information I asked you to sort out for me?” Quincy asked as he rose to his feet.“They changed her school to one which is a bit far from the last. I just sent the details to you.”“Alright, thanks. I understand she would change her school details, just because of the abduction case. In case anyone would want to try the same thing on Charles’
