🍭Lauren Hills🍭
“I love you, girlfriend”. I say as we walked in her home.

She laughed. “I always get what I want and you should remember that always”.

“I am now”.

“I think Lea should hear of the good news”.

I sat on an armchair. “I think she would be happy since Chloe is out of the way for her to get close to Lucas”.

“But what about Miranda?”.

I paused remembering her. “She’s about a continent away, I’m sure even dear Lucas has forgotten about her”.

“You are right”. Emilia agreed. “I mean, he fell in love with another girl while she was away”.

I wanted to say something in reply when a call came in through Emilia’s phone. She answered the call and I watched how her facial expression changed immediately.

“Emilia? Is everything okay?”.

She threw the phone on the floor. “The guy just called, he said a car has been trailing them since”.

“What the f–k!!”. I cussed pacing around.

“Lauren, calm down”. Emilia soothed me. “I got their call, they will be here any minute”.

“What if Lucas or Liam already caught up with them, huh?”.

“That can’t happen”.

“But the guys said someone was trailing them”. I reminded her.

“Well yeah but they are good at what they do so I’m not sure they are going to be caught by anyone”.

“You better be sure of that”. I warned her.

Almost immediately, the guys stepped in but there were only two of them. I thought it was three hoodlums we hired before.

“Where is the other guy?”. Emilia voiced out my confusion.

The leader frowned. “I had told you that a guy was following our every movements”.

“So?”. I spoke up. “She asked a question, where is your accomplice?”.

“We had to let him go”.

“What?”. I shrieked. “Are you crazy?”.

“Lauren, take a chill pill”. Emilia touched my arm lightly.

I let out a scoff. “Really? Lucas or maybe Liam caught up with one of them and you are saying that I should take a chill pill?”.

“Was it part of the plan?”. Emilia asked the leader ignoring me.

The guy nodded in response. “Yeah, trust me, he will do as we planned”.

“Thank you, you can go and don’t worry, I will make sure to find him”.

The hoodlums nodded and left making me even more confused as to what was going on.

I faced Emilia. “What just happened?”.

“It was all a plan, Lauren. Try to chill things out a bit, you know”.

“What do you mean by a plan? Huh, you need to do some explanation right now”.

She sighed. “I knew that someone will be after them after the whole shooting stuffs so we were prepared beforehand”.

“And how if I may ask?”.

“Simple. They just release one of their guy and he pretends to not say anything, then after few torturing, he gives up and blurts out the person who hired him”.

“What? He’a going to mention our name?”. I asked confusedly.

“Nah”. She shook her head. “He’s going to mention another person’s name as we had planned”.

“You do know that it has to be someone who hates either Brianna or Chloe, right?”.

“I know and he knows what to say”.

I arched my eyebrows. “Who could that be?”.

“Nick”.

“Nicholas is Brianna’s ex boyfriend. Do you think that Liam will believe he’s responsible for attempting to shoot Brianna?”.

Emilia smirked. “Liam won’t but Lucas will after all Chloe got shot at the end”.

🍭Lucas Knights🍭
I walked towards him. “Mark. I got your text already”.

“You just in time, I caught one of them”.

“So fast?”. I asked surprised.

“You know me, Lucas. I always spring into action, I never waste a lot of time just like you know who”.

“So has he spoken?”. I asked changing the subject.

“Well he hasn’t but since you are here, we’ll torture him even more to speak”.

He led me to the back of the warehouse where the supposedly thug was kept. I got in and immediately scrunched my face up at the sight.

He was beaten, not scratch that. Actually, he was battered, like literally. His face was bleeding but I didn’t care about that at all.

And he was tied like an animal. Well he’s an animal for what he did to Chloe, his back was badly bruised too.

I clenched my fists. “I will so kill him”.

“So the lady that was shot? Who’s she to you?”. Mark asked curiously.

“Someone”.

“Someone?”. He arched his eyebrows. “Or a lady you fell in love with?”.

“Come on, Mark, drop it”.

“Oh, I’m serious here. I know you, Lucas, you never do things for anyone unless they are really close to you”.

I sighed softly. “Okay fine, she’s someone close to me, you got that?”.

“You do know Miranda is still alive, right?”.

“Whats that supposed to mean?”.

“Do you still feel something for her or the relationsh¡p is never coming back”.

“She chose her career over me”. I told him coldly.

“Sorry for bringing that up”.

I watched as Mark walked towards the thug trying to get him to talk.

I sighed remembering Miranda. Why did Mark have to bring that up? I totally forgot about her, like totally.

She was my girlfriend though but she had chosen her career over me. Preferring to work overseas as a solicitor than to be with me.

I approached the thug who was gr0-ning from the wh¡ps Mark was giving him. Now this is why I had asked help from Mark, he always know what to do.

I tucked my hands in my pockets. “How long has it been exactly?”.

“Just half an hour”. Mark shrugged. “Why? Should we continue with the punishment or just force him to talk?”.

I immediately grabbed hold of the guy’s throat choking him as he coughed trying to catch his breath.

“Look here, asshole. I’ll kill you with my bare hands and I don’t mind doing that”.

The guy coughed rapidly while I held his throat even more tightly. He deserves death for trying to hurt my Chloe.

“I .. I w-wasn’t t-the … “. He stuttered.

I let go of his throat. “Talk”.

“I wasn’t the one who shot her and she also wasn’t our target”.

“What?”. I asked confusedly.

“We were asked to kill the other lady with the blue eyes”.

“Brianna?”.

He coughed again. “Y-Yeah”.

Shit!! What if Brianna had actually being killed by these things. I’m sure Williams and Lili wouldn’t have be able to bear it.

“Continue with the torture”. I said coldly.

Immediately, a wh¡p was slashed on his back making him to cry out. He needs to feel the pain of a gunshot.

“She wanted it done”.

I paused. “Mark, stop”.

“I mean, he, he wanted it done”.

I should have known. Of course, they were thugs, someone always have to hire them but he first said a she but now a he?.

“Who was it?”.

He breathed in and out deeply. “It was him”.

“Who was the f–k was it?!!”.

“A guy named Nicholas Quinn”.

I let out a scoff and stared at him. There’s no way Nick can do that, no possible way.

“Are you trying to put the blame on him because I find that you are, do you what it will cost you?”.

I noticed he paused a bit before shaking his head. Something is wrong somewhere.

“He was the one”.

I ran my hands through my hair thinking about it. Nick? No way, he can’t do such a thing and to Brianna at that.

“Lucas?”. Mark tapped me. “Should we get on it?”.

“Yeah”.

🍭Nicholas Quinn🍭
I swing my car keys walking over to my car in the driveway. Another business partner to go talk things out with again.

Ever since Brianna said that stuff about me screwing Lauren in the restroom weeks ago, I’ve been losing deals.

But for some reason, I don’t blame her, I did cheat on her so maybe what she said was some kind of payback or karma tho.

I unlocked the car doors and get in closing the door behind me. I ins××t the key in the ignition and start the engine driving off.

About minutes of driving on the road, I see a car trailing me from the side mirror. I know its trailing me because its being in the same direction with me ever since.

I decided to take a different route but my car starts malfunctioning all of a sudden. It slowed down before screeching to halt.

I hit steering wheel repeatedly. What the f–k is wrong with it? I stepped out of the car hitting the door angrily.

Almost immediately, the car that was kind of trailing me stopped by my side making me flinch out of paranoia.

Then the car door opened and a young man stepped out, he looked rugged though and his face was scarred.

“Nicholas Quinn. Am I right or wrong?”. He asked making me confused.

I frowned immediately. “What do you want from me?”.

“Firstly, my name is Mark and secondly, your presence is needed”.

“What the hell are you talking about?”.

“I think Lucas will answer that question not me though”.

“Wait, what do__”.

I was interrupted by a punch coming on my face and then I blacked out.
