Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 59
Derek was back in the Quinton Mansion with his parents in the living room. He then explained the series of events to Peter and Lea while they were away. "That's a lot to take in. Seems like we missed out on all the fun." said Peter. "Seriously, dad? You call this 'fun'?" replied Derek. "You know he was joking, son. All jokes aside, you and everyone else have been through a lot over the last few days. Are you all overwhelmed?" asked Lea. "We are handling it, mum. Where I need you both will be behind the scenes and at the end of all this." replied Derek. "Please explain, son. We'll help anyway we can." said Peter, "I need you to be secret buyers of the DreamSmith company. I need you to send someone that the Smiths do not recognise to represent you to buy out the company. I also need that someone to announce that one of the Smiths will be named CEO when the buyout is complete. That CEO will receive the buyout money as a promotion" said Derek. "How much do you want us to spend on t

The final few days have passed. The day has arrived. It's Sunday. The Quinton Consortium Event is here. Soon, everyone attending the event will know whose design will be chosen for the rebuilding of BDT mall and the foundation of the new beach resort for the Quinton Consortium. All who have submitted their designs were automatically welcomed to the event. The tenants of BDT mall will also be in attendance. Early morning sunshine shone through Derek's room window. Derek slowly woke up, more refreshed and focused as usual. It's time to put all his plans into action. But before all that, Derek can put all his plans on hold....at least for the morning. There was reason for him to celebrate. It's his birthday. More importantly, the first birthday he is celebrating with his family. His real family. Derek went about his usual routine, which includes his morning stretch and exercise routine. His shower was longer than usual. He wanted to soak in the moment. After changing into a loo

Everyone at the Quinton Mansion enjoyed the amazing cake Chefs Marcel and Gianno made for Derek.Before they knew it, midday has arrived and all birthday festivities have ended. Now it is time to execute all plans formulated. Derek assembled everybody involved to the living room to discuss their plan."Thank you everyone for the party earlier. Now it's time to move on to more important matters. Let's got through what we need to do." began Derek. Everyone involved closed in to pay attention. "Let's start with Alex and gang. Alex, you'll need to spread your manpower around. Relay back to me all tasks assigned to you and your gang." said Derek. Alex reported, "Mr Derek, Tom, my guy who has been in contact with Charles, will coordinate with a contact of his to stage your assassination.""Tom has also been informed about Ms Madison and Mr Nick to be taken out too. We will work with this same contact to stage their assassinations. All props and make up will be done by sunset.""Good. O

"I know, I'm supposed to have this call with you guys later in the evening; but I've been informed about a breaking development. That's why I arranged for this call earlier." began Amanda."I'm sure it is important enough to get us involved. Please, fill us in, Ms Amanda." replied Madison."Let me start by updating you about the logistics for tonight's event. When it's time to set off, head straight to the loading bay at the back of the hotel. We have two SUVs on standby with our drivers who will escort you to the venue.""Our drivers will drop you guys off at the loading bay of the Townsville Exhibition Centre, where our security will escort you to a safe room.""Steph, because the Smiths do not know you, I cordially invite you and a plus one to the event. I need you to be our eyes and ears. I will pass you the contact of Desmond Jones, our Head of Security. Introduce yourself to him so he knows who you are." said Amanda."I'll bring my mother along, Ms Amanda. We will need to do a b

Chloe was is a high class salon doing her hair for the event. On any other occasion, Chloe would have behaved like a diva, demanding the best hairstyle that the salon could offer.On this occasion, she looked uninterested. She was content with any style that the hairdresser suggested, even if it wasn't the best.For the last few days, she had been worried about her sister Madison's whereabouts. Although she was relieved that Madison didn't go back to the Smith household, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen."Ms Chloe....Ms Chloe." the hairdresser's voice snapped Chloe out of her trance."Yes, yes. Sorry I didn't hear you." replied Chloe."Is this style OK for you?" the hairdresser asked nervously. "Yes, this will do. Thank you." replied Chloe.Chloe then walked to the cashier and paid for the session, tipping the receptionist a hundred in cash before leaving.The receptionist then asked the hairdresser, "Hey, don't you think something is wrong wi

Derek had just finished his call with Eric Bradley when Amanda walked back into his office."It's done, honey. I've briefed Chloe on her assignment." reported Amanda."Good work, dear. Only one thing left to do. Give me a minute." replied Derek, before making a quick call to Desmond. "Hi Desmond, I forgot to mention this to you earlier. When Madison and Nick arrive at the loading bay, have our security team escort them to a room behind the staging area. Trust me, they'll want to be there." instructed Derek. "Got it, brother." replied Desmond. Click!*Growl*"Woah....was that your stomach complaining, honey?" Amanda asked jokingly."Yeah...in the midst of all the preparations I forgot about lunch. Are you hungry, love? Let's order in some pizza." asked Derek."Sounds fine, honey. We can't go to war on an empty stomach. I'll make the call." replied Amanda. Three minutes later, the order was placed. After placing the order, Amanda noticed Derek standind behind his desk, staring out o

It was very unusual for Desmond to have so much free time on his hands. Usually, Desmond would be running around with his security teams ensuring the safety of all staff and guests under the Quinton Consortium. On this day of all days, Desmond had nothing to do. Everyone in the security department assured Desmond they knew their roles. Even Alex and his gang were well aware of their tasks and reassured Desmond they were ready to execute their tasks.Jocelyn, his girlfriend noticed he was getting restless. She took a seat next to him in the living room of their shared apartment in the Townsville Hillside Condo. "What's wrong, honey? You seem so restless." Jocelyn said to Desmond, holding his hand. "I'm sorry for making you worry, dear. I'm just not used to sitting around." replied Desmond. "It's rare that boss gave you the day off. You should relax. You've earned it." said Jocelyn. "Really? Do you think I've earned it?" Desmond asked, slightly surprised. "Tell me why you have not

The evening draws near. It's not too long before Amanda and Derek head out from Quinton Tower to the Townsville Exhibition Center. Similarly, Team MNS, Joanne Lopez and Steph's mother were waiting patiently at Madison's presidential suite at Quinton Hotel. Peter, Lea and Owen were already at the Townsville Exhibition Center, getting ready for the night's festivities. They took the responsibility to welcome and entertain all guests, tenants and participants of the design competition, at the same time looking out for the arrival of the Smith family. Earlier, Derek sent a text to his parents and Owen to notify him when the Smiths arrive. That would be his signal to contact Team MNS and for him and Amanda to set off. While Derek was sitting on his desk waiting for the call or text, Amanda came out of the shower in Derek's office, dressed to the nines. Amanda had her hair bundled up; but her tri-coloured hair is still visible from all angles. She was dressed in a gorgeous strapless, b

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
Who's The Loser Now? Chapter 138
"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
