Life surged through Quincy, and he sat up abruptly, eyes darting wildly around the unfamiliar room. Where was he?

White walls, a sterile smell, and hundreds of wires coming out of his body—it took him a moment to realize he was in a hospital.

But how had he ended up here? For some minutes, there was just a blank… until gradually, memories of his life began to surface in disjointed flashes and sounds.

Quincy remembered leaving his family in secret, to establish his business empire… After pouring many years of hard work and determination into his work, he had ultimately become a formidable force, a billionaire whose influence was unmatched in his exploits in the business world. Quincy became so powerful and held so much influence that was the reason for the Shi family becoming nobles.

But that didn't last for a long time… He had expected his family to be happy for him, to be proud of him, but instead, they became jealous. Over time, the jealousy turned into a bitter conspiracy against Quincy. His own brothers joined forces with other notable businessmen, who were in competition with him, and planned to take him down. They didn't want him to become greater than them, and they wanted to steal every asset that belonged to him.

Quincy winced as he recalled quite vividly that he had been poisoned on that fateful day. Thankfully, he had acted quickly and barely escaped death, fleeing the scene and stumbling to his wife Kohler's doorstep before losing all consciousness.

He was shaking as the memories continued to assault him… he had felt his wife hug him and cry all night long. He remembered feeling her tears soak his chest, her sobs echoing in his ears as she pleaded for him to come back to her.

Maybe it was the tears that had soaked him… or maybe her love for him, which had somehow pulled him back from the brink.

And now, as he sat in the hospital room, awake and conscious… he felt a pang of resentment. Resentment towards the Shi family, for all that they had done to him out of envy and betrayal. He had to get to his superior and make sure the Shi family paid for their betrayal. But first, he needed to find his wife.

"If Kohler stayed with me all this time, she must have endured hell… and she is still stuck there. I can't let them take her away," he muttered, touched by the memory of her tears.

She didn't want to leave him, but the Walters had forced her hand. When he was still in a coma, he had heard it from her own mouth…

Quincy’s priorities were clear, he had to infiltrate the Walter family and get his wife back.

Grabbing the phone by the bedside table, he quickly placed a call to one of his business associates… the one man he trusted the most in this world.

Scott was his confidant, and anything that he wanted done was on him, all he had to do was ask.

His voice was hoarse, his throat feeling completely parched from years of disuse.

"Hello, Scott." he rasped. 

"Young Master?" Scott asked, shocked to hear his Boss’s voice after such a long time.

 "Yes, Scott. I am back," he replied.

There was a moment of stunned silence on the other end, as Scott was trying to understand the fact that his Boss was really the one speaking.

"We thought… we all thought you were gone for good…”

Scott finally said, his voice thick with emotion.

"Well, I'm back now. Your number is etched into my memory, and I need you to do a few things for me on an urgent basis." Quincy commanded.

He outlined his plans for vengeance against those who had wronged him, while Scott listened intently

"Boss, all you have to do is say the word and they will be taken out of the picture at once," Scott replied dutifully. He was very pleased that his boss was not dead.

"Don't worry, Scott, we will definitely wipe out all the men that had a hand in my state. But first, I need you to contact the Garuma company, and have them invest 10 billion in the country. This should be able to help Kohler and her family get back on their feet," he ordered. He wanted time to deal with all his adversaries but his wife was a more pressing issue at the moment. He didn't want her to suffer anymore, he'd heard all her cries when he was in a coma and he wanted to help her.

"I'll do that at once, Sir," Scott replied. Garuma was Quincy's own business empire that he had founded from scratch and grown it into the giant that it was.

Just a single word from him, would change Kohler's life.

But first, he had to hurry and go to the Walter family house. Kohler was to be married off that same day, and he had to stop it by all means.

"I have to stop the engagement," he said with a cold voice.

Quincy got off the hospital bed and tore the wires from his chest, ignoring the heart monitor beeping wildly. He dressed swiftly and left the hospital, his mind focused on one goal.

Meanwhile, Quincy wasn't the only one who was in a hurry to get to Kohler. Charles, Kohler's soon-to-be fiancé, whom her mother had approved as her next husband- was also rushing to the Walter house.

Finally, he had Kohler within his grasp… and she would also help him secure his place in the Walter family. He sat in the car, and right behind him was a box… carrying a gift… the most luxurious wedding gift for the girl he had wanted for so long.

    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
