The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 89
Into the night, Scott and Quincy drank, taking glass after glass, bottle after bottle. They seemed to understand each other beyond words. It was another night for Quincy to grieve over his loss of Kohler. “You know… despite how much I despise her for leaving me when she's not the only one grieving Eunice, when she's not the only one who felt the stab to the heart, despite all that, I find myself missing her,” Quincy said, pouring himself another drink, while Scott helped himself to a spicy piece of chicken.“It happens. Yeah, we miss people we ought to forget, but hey, the best thing is to talk about it. Just say all that's on your mind, and let it go with the wind. I promise you, you'll feel a thousand times better.” He replied, before biting deep into the chicken. “Is that true?”“I'm quite sure it had worked several times for me. So go on. What do you miss about her?” “Well, just everything. The way she blushes when I compliment her or stare at her. You know that twinkle in her

Quincy blinked his eyes to be certain he was seeing right, but then, he still saw Bertha standing, and giving him a straight expression.“I didn’t give an order for them to release her. Why the heck is she outside here?” Quincy voiced out, looking perplexed.“Quincy, what’s going on? Who are you talking about?” Scott asked, looking around to spot the person he was talking about. “Quincy?” Scott called out to him again.And then Quincy held Scott’s shoulders, and his eyes were wide open.“Bertha! Bertha, she is here!” He voiced out feeling so anxious.“Bertha? Bertha isn’t here, Quincy. She is still locked up behind bars.” Scott voiced out and tried to shake Quincy back to reality.Quincy looked back at the spot he once saw Bertha, and she was no longer there.“She is no longer there! Where did she run to?” Quincy voiced out, feeling disturbed about the issue, and was almost breaking free from Scott’s grip.“No, Quincy. She wasn’t there. You know what? I’ll call the cops to confirm, no
The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 91
That night, Quincy sent a text to Scott, telling him that he would be leaving for a vacation to clear his head.“I would be going on a vacation, first thing, tomorrow morning. And I do not want you to track me, because I'm not going to be telling you where I'll be going. And if you do track me, I'm going to ensure I destroy that tracker. So, choose wisely.”Quincy was frustrated. At this point, he just wanted to be alone, and away from everything, because he knew that if he was still around people, he could say or do things that would only make them look at him weirdly or even change their attitude towards him.He placed his phone on the bedside desk and then turned to the other side of his bed to sleep.Sleep was another thing that made him happy, and feel less burdened, but he couldn't sleep for 3 days, straight without wakingSo, the only thing he could do was to take a break.Due to the stress he had gone through for the day, his bones were tired, and his body was ready to retire.

Lauren served the food on the table, and while she was doing that, Quincy stared at her, trying to be certain that there wasn’t something he had to be careful of.“Why did you come back?” Quincy asked, without taking his eyes off her.“Like I said, it’s because you need me.” She uttered and sat opposite Quincy.“And who said I needed you? How am I meant to trust you, when you tried to fool me?”“Quincy, I would appreciate it if we eat dinner first, and then later, we can talk as much as you want. I will answer all questions which you need me to answer.” She assured Quincy.“How am I certain that there is nothing in this food?” Quincy questioned again.Although, not like he meant the attitude which he was displaying to her, but because he didn’t want to seem cheap, and all, that’s the reason he had to make her know that he could be a tough nut sometimes, and she wasn’t to forget that.“Come on, Quincy. You should know I would never do that. Look. I know I did something that you never t
The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 93
Quincy woke up from bed, and he had discarded the fact that he had decided to go on a vacation since Lauren had insisted that he shouldn’t go, and she had offered her support to him.He understood that what she did was because she was jealous, and wanted him to herself, but now that she had reflected on her actions, he trusted that she had done that, for real.As he got down from the bed, he washed up and then headed to the living room.He could already smell the aroma that was coming from the kitchen, and he smiled to himself.“I guess I’m going to be fat in a few days. You keep cooking.” He uttered as he sat in the dining room, then Lauren came out of the kitchen.“Well, don’t you deserve to be fat? And If you don’t want to, you could build up, you know.” Lauren smiled.“I see,” Quincy spoke, and then Lauren went back into the kitchen, and in a short while, she came out with a tray of plates of food.“Breakfast is ready!” She said, in an excited tone, then placed the plates of food

Lauren nodded her head after Quincy had told her the tactics she just needed to deploy to get Alexander to have interest in all she had to say, and she was set to work.“Alright, so I think we're ready to get to work,” Lauren spoke, and Quincy smiled.They both rose to their feet and went back to their respective rooms to prepare for what was ahead of them, that day.As soon as they were done having their baths and doing the necessary things, they rode their respective cars, as some people shouldn't see them together for the time being.Apart from that, they were headed to different places and would only delay the other if one decided to drop the other at work.While Lauren was in her car, she put a call through to her secretary who answered the call, almost immediately she called.“Good morning, ma’am.” She greeted.“Morning. I need you to cancel that meeting which was meant to go on with Kohler, today.“Alright, ma’am. Is there a specific reason you need me to give to her?” The secr

Lauren’s eyes blinked, and then she looked back at the receptionist.“Uhm… You know what? I’ll be back later to book an appointment with him. Thank you.” She said to the receptionist and left immediately, and left with her manager.As soon as they were out of the company and had gotten into the car, she let out a relieved breath.“Oh, my goodness. That was a close call.” She said, under her breath, and looked at her window, only to see Kohler, and Alexander, walking out of the company.Then she turned to her manager, who was looking like he didn’t understand all that was going on, especially since the moment she said she wasn’t benefitting anything from meeting Mr. Alexander.“Remember. I do not want to hear this from anyone else. Everything you’ve seen and heard or will hear about this case, I do not want to hear it from someone else, neither do I want you to think about it too deeply.” She cautioned her manager.“Yes, ma’am. I won’t let you down.” He assured her, and she smiled.“Go

Lauren walked into the bar and collided with some drunkards who ignored the fact they had hit her.“Ugh!” She grunted in disgust and held on to her bag.If anyone wanted to steal her bag from her, it could be very possible in the midst of the crowd.So, the best she could do was to hold on to it, since there were valuables in it.While squeezing herself out of the crowd, who were on the dance floor, she hoped she wouldn't have to go through this again when she was stepping out of the bar.“Finally.” She said to herself as she managed to get out of the happy crowd.Then she spotted Alexander sitting on one of the bar stools and quietly drinking his alcohol.“Good evening, Mr. Alex.” Lauren greeted, with a smile as she sat on the bar stool which wasn't far from his.Then Alex raised his head and looked at her.“Didn't know I would come across you, right here,” Lauren uttered, trying to make things seem coincidental.“You are…?” Alexander asked.“Oh! Pardon my manners. I'm Lauren Shane.”

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,
