Hailey grabbed her gun again, but before she could fire at Quin, he grabbed it from her and tossed it away to the ground. “That’s enough for today, miss.” Quin grabbed her and pulled her out of the ground. She fell to the ground and whimpered in pain.“Stay out of this!” She yelled at Quin, but he didn’t pa attention to her. He untied the piece of cloth used to prevent Xerxes from speaking and she gasped for air and sighed heavily.“You came! You came, Quin!” She was excited to see the Doctor, but she was equally exhausted and her beautiful dress stained with dust and blood. “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?” Quin asked, unstrapping her while he stared at the bloodstain on the top of her dress.“I am fine, Quin. I am just that glad that you are here. I didn’t have anyone else to call.” Tears began to drop from Xerxes’ eyes. And she sniffled to stop them from flowing. “I am getting you out of here, Lady Xerxes. Come on…” Quin helped the lady get down from the car, and then he heard

It was an annoying moment for Quin, but because he wanted to prove his innocence he decided to remain quiet even though he didn’t think that he needed to.“Speak, Hailey! I need you to tell me the truth!” Xerxes demanded in annoyance, but Hailey didn’t look like she was ready to speak. “I am not telling you shit!” She said, and then she spat out bloody saliva on the ground.“Why not, Hailey?! Tell her what she needs to hear!” Austin urged Hailey, giving her signs to cooperate, but she rolled her eyes at him and looked away while she remained on the ground.“I am sure he must have threatened to kill her if she said anything. That’s how evil he is!” Austin said to Xerxes who had become very confused at that moment. She turned to Quin, but he didn’t bother to face her. He had his eyes on Austin whom he swore to deal with when all of that was over.“Talk to me, Quin. Is what my brother said true?” Xerxes waited for a response, but she didn’t get one. It was very hard for her to believe

From the look on Lady Xerxes’ face, Quin could already see that she had permitted him to do what he wanted to do.“You talk too much, Austin,” Quin growled, and then he grabbed Austin and pushed him to the ground.“Xerxes! Xerxes?! Can you see what he just did to me?! Tell him to stop!” Austin crawled backward hurriedly in an attempt to get away from Quin, but that didn’t look like it was going to save him.“People like you make families look like they don’t matter.” Quin grabbed him again and forced him to stand on his feet.“No, Quin! Don’t hit me again! I won’t survive it! I am bleeding! I beg you!”“Too late,” Quin grunted, and then he sank his clenched fist into Austin’s face, still holding onto him even when he was about to fall to the ground. “I told you that Xerxes was the reason why I didn’t want to hurt you. Now, she is here watching, and I think she doesn’t mind you getting some beating.” Quin lifted Austin high above the ground, and then he hurled him into the car close t

Quin stood in front of the man for a while with his hands still behind his back. “Can I go in to see your boss now? You have been staring at me for a while.”“That’s because I don’t trust you.” The man growled at Quin, and then he leaned forward with a glare. “You smell like trouble, and I will not hesitate to take you down if you are here t cause trouble.” The man threatened, and Quin sniggered.“Are you scared?” Quin’s voice was laced with so much sarcasm, but the man wasn’t having it.“Be careful. Watch your back.” He warned and then he gestured to Quin to move forward.“I hope your boss won’t be as grumpy as you are, man. You need to loosen up a bit. I am here for business, and I brought big money with me.” Quin said with a smirk, but the man didn’t want to hear what he was saying.“He is clear! Take him to the boss.” The gunman said to one of his cohorts who led Quin into the hotel.Just like where he was coming from, the stench of alcohol and hard drugs attacked his nostrils, b

Jude was excited, and when he thought about the profit that he could make, his entire interest went into the deal.“Tell me more about this shipment, Mr. Quin. What’s inside?” “Guns. Drugs of every kind, and so many other things that are not meant to be seen by any other eyes. I don’t need the authorities snooping around, that’s why I came to you. Those goods are worth over twenty million dollars, Mr. Gillard.” Quin paused, and then he stared at Jude to be certain that he had gotten his attention.Just like he had hoped, Jude was smiling, and that meant that he was all in, showcasing his greed and criminality.“What’s in it for me?” Jude asked, and then he placed the glass he was holding on the table in front of him.“What do you want?” Quin asked, and the old man saw the perfect opportunity to attempt to reap where he did not sow. “I want twenty percent of what that shipment is worth, Mr. Quin. That’s what I want.” Jude wasn’t sure that Quin was going to agree with his request beca

Flora stared at the picture for a long time, but she was still unable to tell if she had seen him.“Nothing?” Quin asked, and she shook her head.“Mr. Gillard brings in many people into this place every day, Sir. It’s hard to remember all their faces.”Quin sighed after Flora’s response, but he was not ready to give up yet.“How about yesterday? Did you hear anything or see anything unusual? I mean like anyone being brought to this place. I need you to think about it, Flora. Take your time.” Flora sighed, and then she remained silent for a while, trying to know if she could remember anything.Quin was hopeful, and the moment she snapped her fingers, he knew that she had remembered something.“What is it? Were you able to remember anything?” Quin asked, but before Flora could say a word, they heard a sound outside the door, and he gestured to her to be quiet.After listening for a while and certain that there was no cause for alarm, Quin gestured to her to continue, but in a lower to

Jude was furious. He glared at Quin with so much fury in his eyes while he took two steps forward.“You have balls, man. You came to this place to deceive me.” He turned to face Owen, and then he growled at him as well.“You think you can leave this place without paying me my money.” Jude grabbed Owen, and when Quin tried to stop him, the two men stopped him. “You fool! I told you that it would have been better if you remained in prison!”“Please, Mr. Gillard! Let me go, I beg you! I didn’t take your money! I swear!” Owen cried, but Jude refused to listen to him. Quin tried to free himself from the grip of the men who grabbed him, but more men came, and they pointed their guns at him.He was forced on his knees alongside Owen who was shaking to the sound of his tromping heartbeat.“Who is he to you?” Jude asked Quin, referring to Owen who could barely speak at that moment as he continued to struggle with the pain that engulfed him. “I suspected that you were fake, but I didn’t just

Jude chose to remain on the ground even after the gunshots had stopped echoing all over the place.“Hey?” Quin kicked him very hard on the hard, and he was forced to lift his head from the ground. “You can’t kill me, Quin! My men will come after you!” Jude said with a shaky voice, trying to act like he was very brave in front of death. “I don’t have the intention to, at least for now.” Quin grabbed Jude and forced him to stand on his feet.“Come on, you are going to take us out of here.” Quin gestured to Owen to get up at once, and with Jude right in front of him while he held a gun to his head, they started moving slowly. “Trust me, Jude. I am going to blow your brains out if you try to play smart. Now move!” Quin pushed Jude, and he almost staggered to the ground.“You will regret this!” Jude threatened, but Quin kept on pushing him while still holding the gun to his head. They got close to the room where Flora was hiding, and Quin called her to come out of the room.She did, an

Quin immediately drove to Owen’s house following the address that he gave. He increased the speed of the vehicle as he accelerator, turning severally to look at the old man who was full of panic.“Please, hurry, Quin.” The old man pleaded, and the only reason he didn’t push away the cars ahead of them on the busy road was because he couldn’t.“I need you to calm down, Owen. I will get to your house as soon as I can. You can see that the road is filled up with lots of cars.” Quin said calmly, and Owen nodded even though the response he got from him was not soothing enough. Eventually, Quin arrived at their destination, and Owen jumped out of the car before he could turn off the engine.“Alara?!” He screamed his wife’s name, heading to the door and unbothered by the fact that he was limping from the injury Jude and his men inflicted on him.“Alara! Joan! Cara!” He screamed again, and just before he got o the step that led to the door, it opened and his wife came out.“Owen?” She gasped

Quin couldn’t stand the sight of Viola who was still shedding tears even when everyone in the house was looking at her. “You will not lose your child, Viola. We are not going to lose our son, not when I am still alive.” Quin consoled her, caressing her hair while she rested her head on his chest, sniffling to let go of her tears. Lady Bianca was concerned from the moment she saw the tears trickling down Viola’s face, and when she could no longer hold onto her curiosity, she decided to find out what the problem was.“Why is she crying?” She asked Quin. “Is everything okay?” She added, but from the angry look on his face she could already tell that he was very angry at that moment. “It’s her husband, Aunty B…” Quin paused for a while. He was so angry that Lesley was lucky that he wasn’t present at that moment.“He is demanding custody of the child in court.”“That moron!” Lady Bianca was angry as well. Her countenance changed and she growled in annoyance.“After everything he made y
