(Alex’s hideout)
Mr George barges into the single-room apartment. He looked around, no one was in the room.
Alex came in a few minutes later wearing a white t-shirt and boxers.
He was holding a pizza pack and some bottles of drinks. He was shocked to see Mr George.
“Do you think you can run away from me forever?
Mr George asked.
Alex didn’t know what to say.
“Am am not running”
“Then, why are you in hiding?”
“Am trying to have a vacation here”
Alex replied.
*Hmm, you called this a vacation?
You know why am here”
“Mr George, our deal is already off… I did accept to be Lauren’s fake husband for a while till she puts me to bed while you keep my secrets”
What else do you want?”
“I haven’t gotten what I want, Alex… The main reason I sent you to Lauren’s home is so I could get my hands on her assets.
And I didn’t, it didn’t work”
Alex sighed and sat down.
“And how does that affect me? I did what you asked me to”
So? What else do you want Mr George?”
“Your job isn’t done until I get what I want… If you are not into this anymore, then consider your secrets exposed. Am sure the cops will like to know the real truth about your sister’s murder”
“Oh, I see…
Now you are using my secrets as leverage” Mr George I can’t continue to live under your shadows and your control forever.
I also have my life to live”
Mr George folded his arms and looked at him.
“You seem adamant, and you are aware of what am capable of”
“Look, am not trying to show that am right here, am just trying to remind you about our contract and how I stood by it.
And also, is this the only way you can acquire her assets? Since this didn’t work, there should be another way”
“I think you have another idea…
So tell me,
He said down comfortably, “How do I get Lauren’s assets?”
Cos have been trying for the past eight years now and nothing seems to go according to plan.
I ki||ed her parents just to get hold of it, I cleared out her so-called lover who was hindering my plan.
Who else do I need to ki|| to have it?”
“What about Lauren herself?
Alex said and shrugged.
“She would have willed them to her son already”.
“Then, we will take Ethan’s life”
Alex said again. Mr George was surprised.
“I can’t believe this is coming out of your mouth. This little boy sees you as a father”
Mr George replied.
“He is a bastard son anyway… No one knows his father, so I don’t care”
Alex replied.
“Alright, if you say so…
Then you will be the one to do the job”
“What?.
Why me? Can’t you just hire some men to kidnap him?
“You brought the idea and you are the closest to them. They won’t see you as someone that could cause harm…
So, am giving you three days, bring me Ethan Quinn, alive”
He said and stood up before walking out.
Alex was still shocked. He now realizes he has gotten himself in big trouble with Mr George.
He shouldn’t have brought up another idea, all he was trying to do was to free himself from Mr George.
“You got to be kidding me…
Lauren’s son?
He said and sighs.

~(Jemmy’s apartment)~
Harry knocked on Jemmy’s door. He looked at the address on his phone and checked the house number again. The door opened but he didn’t look up.
His eyes were still on the phone.
“Am sorry, is this house number forty-eight?
He asked.
“Yeah, you are in the right house, Harry”
Jemmy replied. Harry looked up to her.
“Am sorry, am just trying to confirm the house number, you know this is my first time coming”
“Come in…
Jemmy said and walked inside.
Harry walked in also and looked around the room. Someone can easily predict it is a lady’s room with the teddy bears on the couch, and the fashion frames on the wall.
Everywhere looks messy.
The undies packed in the laundry basket uncovered.
“Nice place”
Harry nodded and stared at the laundry basket. Jemmy noticed his eyes were on it, She quickly took the basket out of the living room.
She cleared the clothes that littered the couch quickly and rushed back to Harry.
“Am sorry about how everywhere looks messy”
“No, it’s okay… It’s your place”
Harry smile.
“So this is where I stay after Ethan advised me to live my life freely and not in hiding anymore”
Jemmy said.
“I see…
Your apartment looks more nice and beautiful than mine”
Harry joked even though he knew that was not true.
“Oh please, stop with the jokes…
And why didn’t you inform me you were coming?
“I wanted it to be a surprise… I knew you expected me to come to visit two weeks ago when you gave me your house address”
“Yeah, I was surprised you didn’t come…
She replied. Harry had his seat. Jemmy also sat down beside him.
“So, what brought you here? Were you bored? Or something is wrong?
Harry smile.
“Nothing is wrong, I only came here to see how you are doing and to discuss the video clip”
Jemmy adjusted her seating position.
“What happened to the clip? Where is it?”
Harry looked at Jemmy in the eye. I gave it back to Luke. We will find another way to get a piece of evidence from them”
“Omg, what did you just do? Do you think it’s easy to get pieces of evidence from them?
Jemmy seems angry.
Harry moved close to her and held her on both shoulders.
“Look, am sorry I should have informed you about it first but my life was at stake, I could have died and you will never see me again”
Jemmy’s anger was suppressed a little bit.
“Wait, what?
What happened?”
“Luke and Lucy sent someone to have me murdered so I could stay quiet forever. And fortunately for me, I had known him, Jack… The man who made Ethan and I suffer when he was alive”
He decided to have mercy on me and pitied my life after feeling guilty for what he did to us. He asked me to hand over the drive instead and find another way to get the evidence from them”
The video clip won’t have worked anyway”
Jemmy pulled Harry to herself, giving him a consolation hug.
“Am sorry, I didn’t know that happened”
“Am also sorry I had to give them the only leverage we are depending on”
Harry said.
“It’s okay…
So what should we do now?”
“I guess we will think of another way of getting evidence from them but for now, let’s have fun”
Jemmy smile.

~(Linde Plc)~
Lauren pulled over in front of Linde Plc. She got down and tossed the car keys to the security man.
She smiles at him before walking inside. Ellie rushed to Lauren carefully trying not to fall from the heels she wore.
“Careful, Ellie…
You are going to fall”
Lauren said.
“There is no time for that, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room.
Stephan and Jessica are about to seal up a deal worth 250 million dollars.
So, would you like to convince them more?”
“I will happily do”
Lauren smiled and handed over her handbag to one of her employees.
~At the conference room ~
“Thank you so much, we will be really happy to work with you all”
Lauren said as she exchanged handshakes with every one of them before they walked out.
The last man to walk out suddenly stopped at the entrance and looked at Lauren.
He smiled and walked to her.
“We should have some time alone together, Lauren Quinn
Or what do you think?”
The man asked.
“What do you mean?
She was confused.
“I mean I want some time alone with you, just you and I, how about a date?”
“Am sorry I have a boyfriend”
Lauren lied.
“Doesn’t matter, it’s just a date and we are going to talk about business”
He replied.
“Well, am busy with a lot of things, so I won’t have time for a date
We can just communicate about business through this”
She showed me her phone.
“Alright, maybe some other time then
He smiles before walking out.
Ellie walked her.
“That’s the second business client asking you for a date”
Lauren, will please tell me what am missing here?”
Or maybe it’s the deodorant, should I change mine to yours?
Lauren burst into laughter.
Stephan and Jessica walked to Lauren. Lauren gave both of them a slight hug.
“Nice Job both of you.
You just sealed a deal worth 250 million dollars”
A promotion is looking possible for you both”
“Thanks, Mrs Lauren Quinn”
Jessica smile.
Lauren walked out of the conference room to her office, leaving both Ellie, Stephan and Jessica to have a little chit chat.
She walked into her office and was surprised to see Alex. Alex sat down on her office chair with his legs on the office table, and his hands in his pocket.
“What’s going on here?
Lauren asked.
TBC….
