The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 123
Chapter 124Kohler’s feet slapped the marble floors harshly, as she made her way to her room hastily, tears blinding her eyes. She didn't want anyone to stop her— didn't want anyone to see her with such tears in her eyes. She knew Quincy would find out about what she did sooner or later, and the fact that he wasn’t looking at her made her feel hurt.There was no way she would explain to anyone of her sorrow and pain. They wouldn't understand.How can Quincy be this emotionless towards my situation? Does it mean that he didn’t love me deeply as his wife, back then? How could he easily give up on me? How was Lauren Shane better than me in any way? I was far better than her.Quincy had certainly made the wrong choice for choosing Lauren Shane over me.Once she was in her room, she went straight to her wardrobe, throwing it open.With anger, she packed all that her hands could get a hold of, and threw them onto the bed, before returning to pack up the rest.“We don't have to stay.” She s

“A mission?” Kohler asked, swallowing. Something about it just didn't sound right to her. Maybe it was the way he said it, or the chilling look in his eyes as he said it. It all made her feel very unnerved. And she hoped that she hadn’t caused doom upon herself.“A mission.” He repeated. “What mission is that? Is it something I can do? Something anyone can do? What exactly is it?” Kohler gave him a lot of questions due to how curious she was.He continued to regard her with those soulless eyes. She couldn't even appreciate his beauty because of the aura he carried around. It commanded fear. “Eliminate someone.” he finally replied, and that gave Kohler a shock.“Eli… what? I should do what?” Kohler questioned again, trying to be certain that she heard right.What was he saying? Eliminate as in murder? She thought to herself.“I will not be repeating my words.” He droned icily. “You want me to kill someone. I'm… I'm not a henchman. I've never killed before, and I certainly do not w

Kohler walked further, and it seemed like she was already in a tunnel. Although she had no idea of where she was heading, she held on to the quote that stated, “There is light at the end of a tunnel.” Kohler hoped that the light would lead her to a better place than where she was, currently.She had had it in mind to run far from there, and probably go somewhere far, to start a new life, and maybe fall in love with someone who cared about her and was true about his feelings, but since she had just discovered that someone was after Quincy’s life, she had to at least, warn him about it.This particular man seemed to be dangerous, but if Quincy was very well prepared, there was a high chance he would be able to defeat them, whenever they came, especially if it was going to be a war, they would rage on them without letting them know of it.Kohler could see rays of light, which meant she was close to the end of the tunnel, and that made her feel excited and happy.On getting closer to th

Kohler immediately dropped her candle, close to a long bar of iron, and jammed her shoulder into it, excitement washing over her._*Why was it locked when the others weren't?*_It led to something useful. She felt it was probably the door to all the other rooms in the castle. Curiosity sparked its flames, and she rammed her shoulder into it once more. It didn't budge. It still was as solid as rock. “Alright, alright. Just wait. I've stumbled on something big this time.” Kohler said, breathlessly, taking the hairpins off her hair, causing it to tumble down in waves. “Which one?” Kohler asked me, then tried the tiniest one, pushing it into the old, menacing lock. “Too tiny.”Kohler tried the biggest and worked on it quickly, her tongue against her upper lip. After a few minutes, she heard the satisfying click and echoes that rebounded, and pushed the heavy door. It opened without a sound— no creaking, no whining, just silent. Taking her candle from the bar of iron, she walked into

Fear rippled through Kohler like the waves on the sea, and she began to run in the dark, adrenaline rushing through her, and filling her brain with danger signs. Kohler's heart seemed to beat in her throat, wanting to burst out, and finally, she stumbled. “Ah!” Kohler screamed from the pain and the fear that she would suddenly feel something heavy and menacing land on her back. Gasping, she struggled to get to her feet, then realized she had stumbled on the staircase. With relief mingled with terror, she began to climb, using her hands and legs. Kohler got to the very top, and pushed… “Ah…” She cried as the floorboard came open, revealing light. Immediately, she hoisted herself onto it, and tumbled into the room, hurriedly sealing the floorboard shut. _*Why isn't there some kind of lock to it? What if the creature comes bouncing up the stairs in search of me, and leaps against the floorboard?_* She thought to herself restlessly _*What would happen when I was locked in the

“I… I cannot just kill someone. You have to understand. This man has been good to me, he is my ex-husband whom I still love, and…” “Take her away. Now.” He turned from Kohler, walking away, with his hands behind him. “Wait, wait! You have to…” his right-hand man’s thick hands grabbed Kohler by the elbow, and she stumbled. He pushed her through the door and jerked his head towards the left. Men came out of the shadows, and she jumped. She hadn't noticed them at all when they were taking her to the cruel boss’ rooms. The men all flanked around them, and she thrashed about like a mad bull. “I cannot just kill a man. I do not even know how to kill. This… this is ridiculous!” Kohler shouted, trying to defend herself, but they seemed to be blockheads. They paid no heed to her, and instead, marched her out. They practically lifted he when she couldn't speed down the stairs as fast as they could, and they dragged her when they got to the large, overly bright foyer. Maids all around,

Quincy on the other hand hadn't seen or heard from Kohler, and he felt it was probably because she just wanted to clear her head and heal up or whatever was bugging her that made her want to come back to him.Over the last few days, things had been a little awkward between him and Lauren because of the whole sex thing that happened between them.So, they both agreed not to do anything about their relationship status until they had taken the things that were on their plate.While he ended up on dead ends regarding the person who tried to drug Lauren, he hoped that he would still find a lead on the case and punish the person who did such a horrible thing to her.“Are you prepared for tomorrow's event?” Scott asked him as he walked into his office.“What event?” Quincy asked, looking confused.“Mr. Prescott's,” Scott responded, not surprised that Quincy could have forgotten.Many events had played out and had been housed in his head, so it was expected that he might not remember a thing.

“Who are you?” The boy asked, but Kohler couldn't reply, her feet gave out from under her, and the ground came up to welcome her._*If he is good, he will save me, and if he doesn’t, well, I won’t die all alone.*_ Kohler thought to herself.Maybe it was the coldness of the ground that kept her awake, but she felt it when he put his arms around her, lifting her with both hands, with surprising strength._*Finally, I’m safe.*_ she said in her mind, feeling relieved.“What if she is a ghost?” The little girl asked.“She's breathing, Sally. She's also solid.” He replied as he dropped her briefly, and then raised her onto his back. He was warm, so warm that Kohler felt she could cry any second from then.Kohler dug her face into his hair, enjoying the warmth, and was half awake, half asleep throughout the whole journey to wherever they lived. She simply hoped it wouldn't be another dangerous place.~Kohler awoke to the sound of sheep bleating, kids giggling, and something nice cooking.Sh

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,
chapter 161
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,
