Lauren had finally agreed to do what Quincy asked of her, but just that she hadn’t told him yet. She wanted to see how it was going to work out, first.

“Yeah, just one glass will do.” She said to the bartender.

“Okay! Although, I can’t guarantee that you will stick to your rule because it’s Martini!” The bartender said, with a smile.

“And what’s so special about Martini?” Lauren uttered and rolled her eyes.

“Hmmm. I see you might need something strong. You don’t look like you’re in a good mood.”

“Look. It’s either you keep your mouth zipped up and serve me my drink or I walk out of your bar.”

“Okay, okay. Easy. I’ll just serve your drink.” The bartender said and then went ahead to make her what she ordered.

Not long after, Alexander came down the stairs and she spotted him even before he got to the bottom of the stairs.

“You were here all along?” She asked, wondering why he was coming from right there.

“Yeah. I kind of needed some space, you know. And I couldn’t think of a better plac

    Quincy was driving back to his company and he kept on pondering on the reason Mr. David warned him to stay away from the E.C.E Project. And how that was enough reason to stare at him, looking horrified.~flashback~“It might seem so nice. You might feel so privileged, but at the end of it, you get hurt and will no longer be independent just the way you desire it.”~back to reality~Everything confused him all the more. He had gone to see him just to clarify things; especially the reason he looked at him that way the other night.But going to see him this morning only made things more complicated, and Mr. David wasn't willing to say more.He had threatened to call in the security.In less than an hour, he got to his company and headed to his office immediately.“Welcome.” Scott greeted him and Quincy only made a dry acknowledgement.“Is anything wrong?” Scott asked out of concern.“Scott, I don't know if you ask me. But all I know is that there's a lot of confusing things regarding the

    Quincy, Scott, and Lauren clinked their glasses and chuckled as they raised them to drink.“Whoa! Tastes nice.” Quincy uttered, feeling pretty good.“Victory tastes nice,” Lauren added.“I'd like to take my leave now. I've got some other things at the office to take care of.”“Alright, Scott.” Quincy permitted and sipped the wine again.Scott smiled and excused himself while Lauren and Quincy stayed back.“I hope you edited out your name. The recording had Alexander calling your name.” “Yes. I edited it out.” Lauren confirmed with a smile.“So, Alexander is practically into a great debt and at least, Kohler knows who she's married to. We have completed our mission.”“Exactly. Let's hear what the news says. They got a good story.” Lauren urged and they turned on the TV._*” It's been heard that Alexander Darwin, one of the richest businessmen in the U.S.A. has hit rock bottom in his business due to an investment rejection. And I have two gentle businessmen here with me to discuss what

    It was clear that Alexander was looking for a way to get the money he had lost for the investment. Alexander ended the call, and Quincy felt very troubled.“What happened?” Scott asked out of concern.“Alexander. He got Lauren.”“Did he know it was an intentional scam?” Scott asked, looking terrified for Lauren.“No. I don’t think so. Right now, I think he is just pissed that she was the one who introduced him to something that didn’t go well for him.”“Goodness. What do we do, then?” “Well, he just got himself a jail pass. The worst we wanted to do to him was what we had done. He could always rise to his feet without a bad name. But since he had to be involved in a crime in this, then he’s going to have a bad name. We will inform the cops of this.”“Okay. But I’m certain he’ll be on the watchout for cops. And you know how these things work.” Scott made his worry known.“I know. We’re just going to play this smartly.” Quincy said, then sighed.Then he put a call through to Lauren ag

    Quincy drove as fast as he could to be able to get her in sight, because the moment he lost her, it could become a problem; especially if she wasn't heading where he had in mind she was probably heading to. "Drive as fast as you can, but I must not lose you." He said under his breath as he fixated his eyes on Lyra's car. There was nothing that could make him lose his concentration at this point since so many distractions had come his way, yet, his eyes didn't waver. As they drove further, he confirmed his guess. She was truly driving off to Alexander's house. Probably they had agreed to meet there or she was just heading to his house first thing. There was only one way to tell, and that was following her and waiting until he caught sight of Alexander. Soon, they got to Alexander's house and Quincy halted his car a distance from them just so no one would suspect him being there. He watched as Lyra got down from her car and ran into Alex's compound. "Currently at Alex's house.

    *Thirty minutes ago*Quincy was still waiting in his car, contemplating if he should just inform the cops to come over and surround this place or not. A knock on his window caught his attention and he looked towards that direction only to see Kohler.He wasn’t expecting to see her or not, and he couldn’t tell if her being present at this moment was going to be destructive for their mission or not.He wound down and looked at her, wondering why she had bothered to knock when she could have just passed by.“Hey.” He uttered.“Really? Are you stalking me right now? To know if I’m busy crying or sulking? Yeah, I guess it must be typical of you now. You are probably happy that my husband fell into this dipshit, and it seems like our ship is crumbling down.” Kohler accused Quincy right away.“Oh, take a chill pill. You saw me here, and the next thing you do is to start accusing me of things you’re not certain about?”“It isn’t what I’m not certain of. It is what I am so certain of.” Kohler

    Quincy rose to his feet suddenly and both Scott and Lauren looked at him; wondering what he was up to.“I need to get somewhere. Got to see someone. Will be back before it gets too late.” He informed them.“Alright.” Both Lauren and Scott responded.Although Lauren was curious to know exactly where he was going and who he wanted to see, she had to bury that curiosity and put her mind on something else.Quincy then left and headed to Kohler's home. He got there in an hour and he was invited in.“You asked to see me,” Quincy spoke as he walked in, following her to the living room.“Yes. You told me you were going to finish the conversation we started earlier. We can do that right now.” Kohler said as she made to pour his drink.“No. You don't need to do that.”“Why?” Kohler asked, wondering why he didn't want to have a drink; especially as it was one of his favorite wines.“I'm not going to be here for long. I'm going to make things brief.”Kohler feared that he was going to break her

    Taking her beautiful parcel, and her phone, she made her way to the kitchen, while making sure she transferred double the price of the plant price to her dealer. _*Lauren Shane wouldn't know what hit her. She would only wake, and realize something had gone wrong.*_ Kohler thought to herself and giggled at such a lovely thought.In the kitchen hall, she scattered her hair all over her face and tried to produce fake tears. She didn't want to be suspected of anything. Alex’s sister, Rayah was still around; although, she had been in her room all day. But rumors could fly if she was suspected of anything.Immediately Kohler's eyes were well watered, she stormed into the kitchen. “Everyone, out!” She shouted, and they all turned to her, stunned. “Out right now! Out of this miserable place.” Kohler continued, and they were all giving her shocked looks, a few with pity, they all filed out of the kitchen.They probably thought the whole situation with Alexander had gotten to her which had a

    Chapter 118Kohler watched Lauren enter the hotel with her little apricot dress and smirked._* Who knows if she would make it out with that dress intact?*_“Did you prepare the tea, especially with the ingredient I gave to you?” Kohler asked the trembling girl in the car with her. “Y…yes, ma'am. I did.” The girl responded.“Chill! Why are you acting like I poisoned her? I didn't poison her. She just refused to test my special ingredient, so I'll wait for her to ask why the tea was so good, and then tell her it was prepared with my special ingredient.”She looked at Kohler with her large green eyes, still looking scared. It was why Kohler hated using intermediaries if she was in a situation to use one. The girl looked like she'd spill if anyone just sent a question her way. “If I get found out, I'll get fired. The hotel doesn't take favors like these.” She spoke her mind.“But you did it already, didn't you?”“Yes, ma'am. I did.”“Even if you get fired, you can always come back to m

    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,
