Oliver stood outside of his kitchen at the backyard with his bags, watching Derek's helicopter land on his helipad. While the rotors are still spinning, the door opened and out walked Derek and Charles, heading towards Oliver's direction."Hey, Oliver. Are you ready to leave for Townsville?" asked Derek as he hugged Oliver.Oliver nodded after hugging both Derek and Charles, "As ready as I will ever be, my brothers. I trust the decoy is on its way to the airspace of Metro City Airport." he asked.Charles replied promptly, "It should be there in about an hour. My wife, Esther just launched it from the Phoenix Bunker.""Awesome. That should get that jackass Kurt Marshall off our backs." said Oliver. "I look forward to meeting everyone in Townsville."Derek smiled as he replied, "We are all awaiting your return. Let's get going." Derek and Charles helped Oliver with his bags and all three of them proceeded to enter Derek's helicopter, departing for Townsville.As Derek's helicopter took
Don Krauser stood up from his desk and sat with his Kartel at the big lounge sofa. It was time to share with them his plans for strengthening his team for Oliver's benefit, as well as theirs."Everybody had given some good suggestions. I have given them some serious thoughts. So, here's my plan." began Don Krauser."Jonas, as much as I would love to expand to Townsville, that is still Don Charles's turf. The last thing we need is to offend him in any way, shape or form, especially since his Phoenix Mafia as helped us in a big way.""Instead, use the remaining days before we leave to scout a good place to build an underground bunker, similar to that of the Phoenix Bunker in Townsville. Once you have done so, contact Lily Cooper and seal up the area so that construction can begin.""Gordan, Latisha, Ethan, while I am away, ensure nothing goes wrong with the construction of our bunker. Nikolai, hold the fort down here, just in case those Connors stir up trouble.""Now, speaking of the bu
"There you are. You have some explanation to do." said Lacy as she entered Christina's office. She saw that Christina was still in the same dress as she wore the night before. "What do you mean by explanation?" asked Christina, oblivious to what Lacy said.Lacy took her seat opposite Christina, "Alfred told us that you went out last night and you never came back. Where did you go dressed like that?" she asked pointing at Christina's dress.Christina stopped what she was doing when Lacy asked her that question. She looked up to Lacy nonchalantly and answered her. "I told Alfred that I was out on a dinner date. Let's just say... that date went better than expected." she said with a small smile.Lacy's mouth gaped open when she heard Christina's reply. "Woah! You stayed over with that date of yours? Who's the hot bod? Care to introduce him to the family?" she squealed like a little gossip girl to Christina."Haha... look at you, acting like a schoolgirl. You have a boyfriend, remember?
Carson reported, "Last night, I saw a woman wearing a mask, looking like Christina Connors enter my hotel, heading towards the Presidential Suite. My suspicions were confirmed this morning. I saw Christina leave the hotel without her mask."Lorraine was perplexed by Carson's report. What did his report on Christina have anything to do with Oliver?"Carson, I fail to understand why you would want to report that to me? What does that have to do with QS Holdings?" asked Lorraine."Well, everything. Shortly after she left, I saw Mr. Reed leave the Presidential Suite as well. In fact, last night, before I saw Christina enter, I saw Mr. Reed heading to the Presidential Suite too." replied Carson.Lorraine's eyes opened wide when she heard Carson's reply. "Where's Oliver now?" she asked suspiciously. "No idea, Ms. Lorraine. I had a few VIP guests to tend to so I didn't track him." answered Carson."Lorraine! Oliver is back!" Mitchell shouted from the dining room, distracting Lorraine. "Got i
Their clothes were on the floor, in a mess. So were their hair. They were catching their breaths as they held each other close, naked underneath the sheets."You know... technically, we are divorced. So, tell me, you naughty boy, have you been seeing other girls?" Christina smiled as she asked Oliver."Of course not. What, would you be a jealous divorcee if I did? Heh heh." laughed Oliver."Hey. That's so mean. Do you know how hard it was for me to badmouth you that night? Haha." laughed Christina as she rested her head on Oliver's shoulder."So, what have you been up to while I'm not around?" asked Oliver cheekily. "Oh, you know... the usual handling of the crap from my family. Heh heh." replied Christina."On a more serious note, though. These last few weeks have been really crazy. Your family has been trying to take me down; but to no avail." said Oliver."Yeah, about that. What really happened to you, dear?" asked Christina, hoping to get the truth from Oliver. "I've been listenin
The next day, it was business as usual for the Connors Conglomerate. Christina was in her office dealing with her work; but unlike her usual self, Christina was preoccupied.She could not shake off the gravitas of the text messages that she received the night before. No matter how she tried, she could not decipher or discover any hidden meanings behind the texts.'All I know is that I'll be meeting this person soon enough. I will have a lot of questions to ask when we do.' thought Christina.*Knock knock*"Hey sis, you have a minute?" asked Lacy as she popped her head in. "Yeah sure; but I don't have a lot of time. Come in." replied Christina."Look, sis..." Lacy began as she took her seat opposite Christina. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you that Alfonso Oliviera was your plus one for QS Holding's event. I wanted to surprise you; but Darren had to screw things up."Christina replied, "Look, that does not matter now. Do me a favour. Don't arrange anymore plus ones for me. I rather go to th
