Steve’s trial
Last Updated:
2021-07-04 17:57:50Aziza was surprised to see Steve back few hours later. She had assumed that he would be gone until very late. She was still upset with him for snapping at her and decided to ignore him and focus on her laptop.
Az, I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier, I just needed some time away.
She shrugged her shoulders and continued focusing on her laptop.
Babe, he said pulling her chin to face him. I know about the dark web chat. Why didn’t you tell me?
She exhaled, Jay was starting to get to her nerves, he just didn’t know how to keep his mouth shut around Steve. I didn’t want you to worry. It will all die off after the trial when the truth is exposed.
When this is over we really have to work on our communication Az, I can’t always find out all the important stuff about us from Jay.<

Steve yawned, stretching out of bed. It was already afternoon. He partied the whole night till morning. Dam it, he cursed as Aziza’s phone went on voicemail for the fifth time. He had planned to call her last night but with all the excitement it completely slipped off his mind. Taking a quick shower and getting dressed he left the bedroom and found Angela and Lione in the kitchen.Lione looked at his older brother mischievously. You are really getting old bro, few drinks and you wake up this late!He chuckled. You might be right, I just slept for three hours but I feel like crap. Maybe it’s time to hang the towel and settle down.You might want to handle your admirers better if you are serious about settling down, Angela suggested giving him coffee.W

Steve and Aziza arrived few minutes late at the dinner holding hands. They had to go to Steve’s house first for him to get dressed. Steve was relieved to see Jay and James there. Aziza’s friends were surprisingly very friendly and welcoming to Steve. She had never spoken to him about them, he just assumed that maybe she kept him a secret or they did not approve of their relationship. He felt warm inside when he discovered that they knew a lot about him. Az was not ashamed of their relationship after all. Besides Jay and James, Az other friends were Lizzy, Pam, Linda and Lewis. Steve discovered that Lizzy was her neighbour and playmate growing up before their lives were torn apart by the regime. She was initially reserved around him, he suspected that the two shared similar horrific past experiences. Pam and Linda are medical doctors she met her in medical school and Lewis is her law firm partner. They were still chatting happily when Aziza noticed a change in Steve&rsquo

Aziza was running back to her place when she saw Steve’s car on her driveway. She did not get much sleep and decided to go for a morning run to clear her head. She made up her mind during the run to trust Steve until he gave her a reason not to. Steve got off the car and watched her run towards him, a strange feeling that was becoming familiar whenever he was around her started rising within him. She was picture perfect and just too sexy all sweaty with just a sport bra, tight shorts and tekkies on. He couldn’t help worrying about her perfect waist, toned thighs completely exposed to the public.I don’t appreciate you exposing my assets like that and have other man drool over them.She wanted to laugh but she was too breathless and ended up running to his arms, soaking him with her sweat. She pulled away very fast, repelled by a strong sweet scent on him.

Steve let go of Natasha and ran after Aziza but she drove off before he caught up with her. She did not want to talk to Steve until she knew exactly what was going on. She decided to go back to her firm and spend the rest of the afternoon doing her research about Natasha and Paul. When she got off her car, a suspicious figure approached her. She was about to alert security when he introduced himself as Paul.What do you want? She was uneasy, Steve told her that Paul was aggressive and tried strangling a woman.Sensing her discomfort, he smiled and kept a distance between them. I want what you want.What’s that? Somehow she knew Paul would not try anything stupid with her. He looked too sad, almost defeated. She started wandering if he was the same Paul Steve told her about.&nb

Aziza stood up and washed her face. She had spent most of the morning kneeling in front of the toilet, throwing up again. His words playing in her head “Our baby will never be a sin no matter when or where she or he is born”. She had let her gut down, trusted him too much and neglected contraception because he was against it. She had not seen him since the day they broke up but thinking about him always lead to uncontrollable sobbing. Her psychologist had advised that she takes some time off and focus on herself. She made a call to Lewis, informing him that she will be taking some time off. Lewis agreed knowing he had no choice on the matter. Aziza took time off work whenever she was upset but that had improved when she started dating Steve. He would have ended their partnership long time ago but she brought in a lot of high profile clients and never lost a case. Besides a lot of absent days, she was actually every law fir

Natasha was sobbing and shaking. She had never seen Steve so angry before. She tried for two years to get him to notice her. She was angry when she witnessed that his relationship with Aziza was becoming serious and reached out to Jerome who was more than happy to assist with a ploy to separate the two. They paid Paul, the street fighter from downtown to pretend to be her violent ex to bring them together. The plan was to keep Steve and Aziza apart to give Natasha and Jerome time to win them over. It seems Jerome figured the photos of Steve and Natasha were all he needed to break them up and changed the plan, sending Paul to meet Aziza.Steve shook his head, more disappointed than angry. I have called a cab to take you back to your place. Tomorrow I will request that you be moved to another department because I just can’t work with you ever again.I’m sorry Mr

Steve was still in a daze when he received a call from an unknown number. He contemplated ignoring it but he was a public servant and could not afford to miss important calls.HelloThis is Jerome, please don’t drop it’s about Az.What about her?You need to come to Jolly island, she needs you.You really think I’m an idiot. He had no proof but suspected that Jerome was the person inciting violence against him in the dark web chat.Look man you have no reason to trust me, I can’t even believe that I’m calling you but this is important.Az has my number, she will call if she needs me.

Steve woke up refreshed, ready to fight for his relationship. What’s the plan, how do we get her back? he asked his new friend.We? When did we become a we? Jerome asked mischievously.When you stopped acting like an ass hole. Now that I like you, you are stuck with me. What’s the plan?Are all white people this irritating? Jerome asked folding his arms on his chest.Are all black people this arrogant? Steve asked imitating his posture.Steve was really like an irritating younger brother. We irritate her until she talks to us, we should probably get some protection for our balls. She can be crazy that woman of yours.Steve laughed recalling the day he saw Aziza kick Jerome’s balls. I

Advocate Marlone Epilogue
Four years later Aziza watched the youth flooding in her house to celebrate her firstborn’s twenty first birthday. She could not help noticing the diversity and how happy and in harmony they all were in their different skins. Standing at the balcony, she watched everyone and took in the scenery. Her own twenty first birthday was marked with bruises, scars and hatred for the other race that wiped out her family and hunting her down. How everything was so different now. If anyone told her that one day she would host youths of different races, know each one of them personally and truly love and care about them like her own children, she would have had that person assessed for a mental illness. She smiled when she saw John, Joy and Steve’s parents basking in the sun and chatting happily.

Advocate Marlone Ghost from the past
Twelve years later, Steve and Aziza finally got a chance to retire from politics and parliament. Even though Steve was no longer the president of Asherway, his ideals and the processes he worked very hard to develop were still in place and kept the country going. He did not achieve a non racial world as he had hoped but he spoke so loudly and widely against racism and got the rest of the world to listen, to acknowledge and work towards non racial societies. There were still isolated racial incidences around the world, some even in Asherway but there were more people speaking out against it than those condoning or making excuses for it. Happy and content that he gave the country and the world his best, Steve could finally be a full time husband and father. As if compensating for the time he spent away from them, the spoiled his children rotten but Lucy Unity Marlone was the most doted of all the children. Even though seventeen years later, Steve still could not forget how his little

In Asherway Presidential office, Steve pulled his wife to his arms and looked down at her “Aziza Gray Marlone, what did you do to President Clive?”he asked charmingly.Aziza looked away, avoiding his infatuating emerald eyes “Nothing,”she said softly.“Are you keeping secrets from me now?” he asked, sulking knowing she could not keep anything from him.“He came to hold you ransom with his secret nuclear weapon, I hijacked it” Aziza blurted out. She just could not keep secrets from Steve even when she tried.“What?” Steve asked, shocked. “No wonder Clive was so terrified,” he added.“He had no interest in non racial world Steve,&rdq

At the Asherway National Assembly, Aziza sat next to Steve and his Vice President with President Clive and his wife across them. At this point both Steve and his Vice President were so angry, they were ready to tear President Clive apart but Aziza had other plans. Her hand remained on Steve’s knee, keeping him seated. President Clive had asked her a question she was very glad to answer “I’m glad you asked me that, President Clive because I have asked myself that very question many times before” she said “You see it’s not about war alone, it can be anything. A racial incident for instance, which side would Steve take? which one would I take? and where would that leave our children?” she added.“That’s what I’m talking about. I am right, am I not?” President Clive beamed.“It depends on what stage of my

The Asherway airport was buzzing with activity, national and international journalists were there to capture the moment two very different Presidents with completely different ideologies meet. Everyone was curious to know how President Clive, a known racist would be received in Asherway, a country known to be very intolerant to racists with a President calling for a non racial world. At exactly 11 o’clock, President Clive’s presidential plane arrived at Asherway. He disembarked with his expected all white staff, something journalists did not forget to point out. Steve and Aziza were captured approaching the group.“President Clive, welcome to Asherway” Steve said shaking Clive’s hand before moving to shake his wife. Aziza followed behind Steve and offered her hand but it remained in the air, none of them willing to shake her hand. The journalists went crazy capturing the moment. Steve shook his hea

In the Marlone house, Aziza stood at the door watching her children play outside with a thankful heart and gratitude. Lorraine, Mike and Nick turned out to be a handful from the day they came out of the hospital and now three years later, they had too much energy for her to keep up with. Each day she noticed how each one of them was different, their unique ways of doing things and how they all thrived at creating chaos around the house. Lorraine was the tinniest of the triplets but pulled all the strings. She influenced her brothers on which games they played, got to choose the toys first and always got her way, especially with Steve. It did not help that she had Aziza’s eyes, Lorraine had her father around her little finger, Steve just could not reprimand Lucy no matter what she did. Mike and Nick on the other side were behaving like typical twins, even when following Lorraine they did it together. Mike was the least talkative but Aziza found to be the most stubborn while Nic
Advocate Marlone Merry Christmas
Christmas eve marked Four days of Aziza in the intensive care unit. She had not improved but had not deteriorated either. Steve remained by his wife’s side more hopeful than before that Aziza will pull through. Speaking to a lot of people restored his hopes. Not hearing bad news from the doctors was also reassuring except he did not know that they counselled his family behind his back. Everyday he moved from his wife to his children with lots of energy and cheerful heart until a call from his deputy President shuttered every hope he had. His deputy happened to be in Steve’s office when John and Steve’s father called the secretary asking him to forward them the policies and protocols should the First Lady or the president be no more. Out of concern the deputy had called Steve to check on Aziza’s condition, unintentionally revealing Steve’s worse nightmare. He did not need to ask John or his father what they were up to, he knew exactly what they were tryi

In the hospital neonatal unit, Dr Smith finished checking the triplets out. “Congratulations Mr President, your babies are healthy and ready to go home” she beamed. She loved seeing healthy babies.“Thanks Doc, is it fine if they stay here longer. Their mother is..” Steve explained but could not complete his sentence. Just speaking about Aziza made him emotional.“Certainly, Sir” Dr Smith responded sympathetic. “The First Lady is a warrior with the whole country vouching for her, she will make it” she added. She aught not give hope she had no control over but could not help herself. Steve and Aziza’s story was well known, like Shake Spear’s Romeo and Juliet. She could only hope that their end is not as tragic, especially with now four children to raise.&ldqu

Nine months later, Aziza groaned in pain as contractions ripped through her, each wave more severe than the one before. Steve helplessly rubbed her back while the midwife’s and Dr Hail got ready for the unexpected delivery. She should have known better but everything had gone smoothly the whole nine months, they had put their guts down, took a chance to visit Steve’s parents out of town but then her water broke two hours away from their hospital. She was meant to have a cesarean section because of her previous one and the multiple babies she was carrying. Her operation was booked for the following week but it seemed the little ones decided to come earlier. Now fully dilated, no room for any pain medication, the hospital team had no choice but deliver the babies the natural route.“I can’t hold on anymore” Aziza screamed, already dreanched in sweat as her pelvic bones shifted to make way for the new
