Still uncomfortable with what he saw on Jocelyn's wrist, Derek was in deep thought as he rode his private elevator to his office.Ding!The doors opened and Derek walked into his office, where Amanda was waiting for him.Upon seeing Amanda, Derek could not help but be mesmerised. The hot redhead was clad in a long, hot red dress with a matching red blazer and four inch high heels. For a split second, Derek's worries were forgotten seeing Amanda; but he refocused and was back in business mode."Good morning, boss." greeted Amanda."Good morning Amanda. Say, did you dress like this knowing that I was driving in a red car today?" Derek joked.Amanda couldn't help but chuckle, still blushing slightly. "All jokes aside, Amanda. We have much to discuss. Let's take a seat." said Derek, his demeanour becoming more serious.Both Derek and Amanda took their seats. in front of his desk."Ok, first item on the agenda, Madison's proposals. Have you checked if we have received her submissions?" as

Entering JL boutique, Madison was blown away by the dresses on display. Every type of evening gown and cocktail dress was hanging on the shelves and they were all beautiful in her eyes.At this point, Nick's sister Joanne saw her brother and Madison walking in and stepped forward to meet them."Hi brother. What a surprise seeing you here. Who's this beautiful hot blonde?" greeted Joanne."Haha hi sister. Don't get any ideas. Do you remember my childhood friend Derek Smith? This is his cousin Madison." replied Madison. "Hi Madison. I'm Joanne, Nick's sister." Joanne greeted as she extended her hand."Nice to meet you Joanne." replied Madison, shaking hands with Joanne."Madison is looking for a cocktail dress for an event next week. Do you have anything for her?" asked Nick."Before I answer that, Madison, what type of event is that?" asked Joanne."Well next week is where the Quinton Consortium announces who wins the bid to rebuild this mall. My family received an invitation and I ne

"What's this discussion about?" asked Steph.Nick replied, "It's about her cousin Derek.""Oh Mr Derek? My benefactor." exclaimed Steph."Benefactor, Steph?" asked Nick."That's what I wanted to discuss with you both. Recently, my cousin's actions have raised my suspicion." said Madison."Don't get me wrong. I have no grudges against my cousin. If anything I'm happy for my cousin. I just feel that he's hiding important information from me; and both of you are indirectly confirming my theory. "Madison continued, "If he is really hiding information from me, or from us for that matter, then all the more we need to protect him, especially from my family.""Protect him from your family? This is getting confusing." Nick was getting more puzzled by the second."Yeah Madison, what happened within your family?" asked Steph, equally confused. Madison took the time to explain to Nick and Steph the real back story of Derek, how he was adopted into the Smith family thanks to her late Uncle Edwar

It's time to get back at Jocelyn's abusive ex boyfriend for hurting her with a pipe. No one harms a Quinton Consortium employee and gets away with it. Before meeting at the entrance, Jocelyn made a call to her ex boyfriend Mike. She faked repentance over the phone and convinced him to meet her at a nearby abandoned construction site.All three ladies were about to set off when an SUV pulled up in front of them.They were surprised and puzzled at the same time. Who is stopping them?The side window then rolled down and the ladies were surprised to see the driver inside.....Owen Beck."Mr Beck. Wha...." Amanda was at a loss of words."Take it easy, ladies. Young Quinton told me aboutyour plans for tonight. I'm just your security and driver." replied Owen."Mr Beck, no disrespect; but this is not worthy an issue for you to even bother about, much less help us." s

"You.....B****!" Mike muttered to himself. He saw that Amanda, Jocelyn, Kimberly and Owen had their backs turned on him as they made their way to their SUV.Taking his chance, Mike reached for a pocket knife in his back pocket. He intended to stab at least one of them."LOOK OUT!"Before Mike could attack, he felt an arm grab his wrist holding the knife and another arm squeezing around his neck. Next thing he knew, Mike was caught in choke hold and was unconscious in thirty seconds.Quinton's Angels and Owen turned around to see Mike on the concrete pavement, choked out with knife in hand. They then saw someone in a black hooded jacket standing over a fallen Mike. That same person took the knife away from Mike's hand."Is everyone alright?" asked the person in the hooded jacket."Yes we are fine. Thank you. Is Mike OK?" asked Owen."He'll live. We should call the police." replied the person."I agree. Kimberly, call Chief Martin. Send him your recording while you are at it." instruct

Bright and early the next morning, Derek's office was crowded. Derek had called for a meeting involving Amanda, Owen and the newest member of the Quinton Consortium, Desmond. "Ok everyone. I'm sure we are all relieved that the Mike issue is resolved. Now let's move to more important matters at hand." began Derek."Firstly, Desmond, let me officially welcome you to Quinton Consortium. Sign this employment contract and take your place as Head of Security." said Derek as he passed the contract to Desmond.With a new level of humility and gratitude, Desmond took a pen and signed on the dotted line, before passing the contract to Amanda."I'm humbled to be a part of this wonderful company. A dream come true for me; but I know the journey has just begun." said Desmond. Derek smiled, "Ever since I've taken over the Townsville side of our family consortium, I have yet to really assemble a team of my own. I want this team to be my eyes and ears for Townsville.""I already have Amanda, my sec

Evening approached as Desmond entered Derek's office to report his findings. "Hi Desmond. Let's hear your reports." said Derek. "Let me start with our ex-boss." began Desmond. "What Mr Owen and I found out was this gang hired is some low ranking gang, nothing compared to the Mafia level; and get this...Mike is a part of that gang.""Who knew." replied Derek. "So what are your plans?""I had help from Mr Owen to assemble our team to take out that gang before your event next week. We plan to take them down tomorrow night." reported Desmond."I wonder....do we really need to wipe them out?" Derek thought aloud. "If you were me, Desmond, what would you do?""These guys are still young. Putting them in jail would not help them. If we can convince them to join us and be our underground eyes and ears, they can benefit and so would we." replied Desmond."Good idea. Here's the plan...by tomorrow evening, capture every single member of that gang and bring them to the abandoned construction si

Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 3 - Quinton Consortium Worldwide
The cameras were flashing as journalists and reporters gathered at the eagerly anticipated launch of the new mall in Townsville, specifically located near the Townsville Hillside Condo. Standing in front of the main entrance, Desmond and Jocelyn faced the crowd. Desmond then took the mic to address the crowd, "After months of construction, through reported ups and downs, we are happy to announce, on behalf of the Quinton Consortium, the officially opening of Townsville Hillside Mall." said Desmond. He then took his side next to Jocelyn and proceeded to perform the cutting of the ribbon, signalling that the Townsville Hillside Mall was officially opened. Applause rang all around the front as Desmond and Jocelyn opened the front entrance doors, welcoming the crowd into the mall. In another corner of Townsville, Wayne and Kimberly were also dressed sharply; but for a different reason. Joining them were Roland and Elaine Russo, as all four of them stood in front of the main entrance t
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 2 - The Don and his bride
"Brother Derek, are you sure about this?" asked Charles as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tuxedo; but not any ordinary tuxedo. Derek had Charles wear his diamond encrusted tuxedo, the most expensive tuxedo he bought from Nick Lopez when he first found out he was a Quinton. "I'm sure about it, Charles. I know I bought it for me initially; but in all honesty, you wearing this tux means so much more." Derek reassured Charles. "Man, I'm nervous. Brother, how did you even go through your wedding with Ms. Amanda?" asked Charles exasperately. "Desmond told me to take a deep breath to calm my nerves. It could work for you, too." replied Derek. Charles decided to take Derek's advice and took two deep breaths. Surprisingly, he felt much calmer. Then he and Derek heard a knock on the door. In walked Mason, "Brother, are you ready?" asked Mason. "As ready as I'll ever be." replied Charles. All three of them then walked upstairs... to the top deck of Charles's superyach
Who's The Loser Now? Epilogue 1 - Closure
The prison gate key entered the lock. With a click, the warden opened the cell gate, with mixed emotions. "Madam Louise... it's time." In her cell, Madam Louise looked around the jail cell she had been living in, serving her time for her past wrongs. She thought about the time she spent in the cell, forming a close friendship with the warden, being released early to help Team Quinton and the Phoenix Mafia, eventually being a key player in the fight against Pamela. It was a sad day to leave her family after the fight ended; but heading back to prison was necessary. Thanks to Lea Quinton, however, she did not have to stay in prison any longer. She received a pardon from the Mayor of Townsville; and now, she can leave the Townsville prison freely. She slowly stood up and walked towards the cell door, where she noticed her warden friend had a tear in his eye. Smiling slightly, she wiped the tear away from his eye. "No need to weep for me, young man. We will meet again, outside of t

With the mask worn on his face; and the briefcase full of cash repacked into a duffel bag found in the control room, Charles slung the bag over his shoulder, ready to move out of Pamela's HQ. Before heading out, Charles made sure to surround himself in a nanoshield sphere to avoid any sudden sneak attacks. After which, Charles used his upgraded suit to do a thorough scan, looking to devise an alternate way out of Pamela's HQ. 'Hmmm... it looks like I'm going to have to blast my way out of here. Time to check out what weapons are at my disposal.' Charles thought to himself. Scanning the system in his suit through his mask, Charles was surprised to find various forms of weaponry to pave his way out. "Well then, let's get started." Charles said to himself. However, as we was about to step out of Pamela's control room, an alarm sounded inside of the control room. Red emergency lights were flickering in the control room. Charles turned his direction to one of the screens in the control

"Gerard! Andrea! You certainly have some guts showing your faces here after you betrayed me!" Pamela sneered at the couple. "Lady Boss... wait! We did not betray you." Gerard defended himself. "That's right, Lady Boss! The hostages... they escaped!!" shouted Andrea. "WHAT?!?!?" Pamela shouted angrily. She then turned her attention to Charles, who was standing there, perplexed. "Charles!! You were at the dungeon earlier. You said you saw your team in their cells. Is that true?!?" Pamela asked authoritatively. "Absolutely, Lady Boss. I personally locked up the dungeon after making sure that loser Derek was in his cell." replied Charles. "He's lying, Lady Boss. Charles must still be working with his friends. Somehow, they managed to get their suits from the lab and escape from this place." Gerard said accusingly, pointing at Charles at the same time. "Hold on there, Gerard. Up until just now, when Lady Boss showed me her lab, I did not even know that existed." Charles defended hims

"You tell me, Charles. How did you and that loser escape in the first place?" Pamela asked suspiciously. Charles was calm in his answer, "Well, I found a couple of metal pins in my cell and I used it to pick my cell lock." Charles began. "Once I got free, that's where I hatched my plan. I picked the lock of Derek's cell. I had to convince him that he and I were on the same team in taking you out. So, while the rest were in their cells, which, by the way, they still are, Derek and I made our way out of the dungeon." explained Charles. "Well, you certainly have some talent, unlike that loser. Still, Gerard and Andrea not reporting back is concerning for me." replied Pamela. As she looked at the monitors of the control room, she noticed something peculiar, then she started frowning. "What's wrong, Lady Boss?" asked Charles. "Take a look at that." said Pamela, pointing Charles's attention to one of the monitors surveying the lab. "What about it, Lady Boss?" asked Charles curiously. "C

Before Charles could answer, they heard footsteps approaching the dungeon. Derek passed Gerard's dungeon keys to Charles before he cloaked himself again. In order to play along with Pamela's ploy, Charles quickly opened the dungeon door, placed Victoria gently inside before locking the door again. The footsteps grew audibly closer towards the dungeon door. Charles turned his attention towards the sound of those footsteps and walked in that direction, taking caution to who he might run into. As he turned around the corner, he found out who those footsteps belong to. "Oh my gosh, Esther. What are you doing here?" Charles exclaimed softly as he embraced his girlfriend. "Wait, you shouldn't be here. Didn't Mr. Quinton give you and the rest the order to head to the safehouse?" asked Charles. "I had to come here. I was not going to let that b***h Pamela take you." replied Esther emotionally. Just then, Derek decloaked himself and met up with Charles and Esther. "Esther, so it was you. G

"Ok, Charles, the feed is on." said Pamela. "Take your position, on Derek's right side." "Understood, Lady Boss." replied Charles. Seconds later, everyone, including the people in the Phoenix Bunker, the safehouse and the combined invasion and rescue team saw the live feed on their screens. "Your eyes do not deceive you, Peter. Charles has betrayed you. He has decided to join a real mafia and I will nurture him properly, so he can be a real Don." began Pamela. "As you can see, I have your son as hostage. If you ever want to see Derek again, in one piece and alive, firstly, call off your attack dogs. Secondly, you will, and I mean WILL, surrender your precious Quinton Consortium to me. Oh, before I forget, that includes your so-called Phoenix Mafia as well." "And just in case you think I'm not being serious... " Pamela then did something no one expected. She pressed a button on her control panel; and in the next moment, Ivy's suit emerged from a corner of her control room. 'What th
