Stacy’s POVI woke up to the warmth of his body the next morning feeling a sense of comfort and security for the first time in a while. Last night memories fill my mind and I can’t help but smile.Never in my life have I ever had a passionate night as last night, when how big he was I gasped a bit not sure if I could take him. Marcelo sure knows how to make a woman feel wanted. He possessed the whole of my body, I love his possessiveness. I don’t know how someone can be possessive and gentle at the same time.The sex was rough at one point but I loved every bit of it. I felt his hands all over my body. Thinking about it right now makes me feel horny all over again.I check the time on the table clock beside me, it’s still five am in the early hours of the morning. I should leave before he wakes up. I thought.The reason why I actually want to leave early is because I don’t want to see the regret in his eyes by the time he’s up. Last night might have been a mistake for him or for me.
Marcelo’s POVBy the time I opened my eyes she was not beside me, her side of the bed was empty. She probably left for her room, I thought.I didn’t think anything was going to happen last night, I didn’t think we were going to have sex but then it happened twice and for someone that has an innocent face like hers she knows how to make a man want her.Thinking about our adventure last night and the early hours of this morning I can feel my manhood get hard again, I can’t seem to get enough of her. Damn! I said out loud.Something clicked in my head, Today is the meeting! “Fuck,” I muttered. I turned my head to check the time it was already 9:00 am and the meeting was supposed to start by 10:00am, which means I have only an hour to get dressed and get to the company as well.I rushed to the bathroom, had a quick bath and rushed to my closet and picked out the first black suit I laid my eyes on.After putting on the suit, I rushed downstairs still knotting my tie. I saw Stacy serving El
Marcelo’s POVI stride confidently into the boardroom, my footsteps echoing against the floor. I’m greeted by the familiar faces of the board of directors and shareholders. I haven’t seen most of them since the death of my parents when they came for the funeral.I wasn’t even present when my uncle was inaugurated as the CEO back then and I must say many of them have aged with time. My eyes locked with Mr Stephson. I bowed a little and he smiled at me, his wife was sitting beside him and she gave me a kind smile which I returned as well. I feel more confident seeing them.I take my seat at the head of the table, my eyes scanning the room.“Good morning everyone,” I greeted in an authoritative voice and they all responded. “Thank you all for gathering here on such short notice, but there are something’s that can’t wait,” I said.I glance around the table making eye contact with each of them. They might be shareholders and board of directors but I have to make sure I put them in check b
Stacy’s POVI tried to shake off the feeling of disappointment, telling myself it’s just a fake marriage after all. But I can’t get the memories of last night off my mind, his possessive touch, the fierce kisses, I guess these things made me forget what we actuate for a while.I started dressing to go see my mum in the hospital, Jennifer already called me that she and her mum will be leaving home soon and it’s only polite to get to the hospital before them, they are coming to see my mum after all.I went downstairs to tell Rose I’m going out, I’m not about to tell her I’m going to the hospital to see my mum. It’s not like we’re close or anything so that information isn’t necessary.“Miss Rose, I’ll be going out for a bit.” I told her.“Okay Miss Stacy,” she said in a soft voice.“Send my love to Ella when she is done, I don’t want to disturb her lectures with her tutor,” I said.“Alright I’ll definitely relay your message to her,” she said and I bid her goodbye.By the time I got out
Marcelo’s POV“You can come in now,” Sarah informed us.Jones and I waited outside the board room for about twenty minutes before we were finally called in. That twenty minutes was like the longest twenty minutes of my life. I entered the room first before Jones entered behind me.“Gentlemen, the vote has been cast and I’ll announce the outcome,” the head of the board said to Jones and I.I looked at Jones and I could see a hint of worry in his eyes which he quickly masked and adjusted his stance.“With majority vote, we hereby impeach you Travis Jones Wilson as the CEO of Wilson&Co,” he announced.“What? That can’t be, how will you believe him?” Jones yelled but nobody was listening to him.I felt relief wash over me, I haven’t felt this type of happiness in a while. Finally my father’s company is back in my hands away from this parasite. I liked the look on his face now. I looked over at Jones’ face and it was red from rage which made me feel even better, a feeling of vindication.“
Stacy’s POVBy the time I got home it was a little late. As I stepped into the living room, I saw Marcelo sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone. He looked up and our eyes met.“Hey,” he greeted.“Hey,” I said, trying to act casual and pretending whatever happened in the morning or last night had no effect on me.“How was your day?” He asked me, trying to start a conversation but I’m not having any of that, especially after he treated me like that in the morning.“Fine,” I said, going upstairs to freshen up. I wasn’t in the mood to make any sort of conversation with him. I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.As I walked up the stairs, I could feel his eyes on me but I didn’t bother to look back to avoid making eye contact with him.I headed to the bathroom as soon as I got to my room. As the water hit my skin I felt fatigue was over me. I only just realised how tired I was. I let the water run through my skin to cool off the tiredness.I stepped out of the bathroom,
Marcelo’s POVFor some reason I can’t stand Stacy being mad at me. I know I reacted badly this morning but it wasn’t intentional. I was in a rush and the pressure on me at that point was insane.When I woke up this morning with her scent all over, I felt relieved. With her by myself I felt things will be okay.Thinking about how everything went in the company today. I felt a sense of triumph and satisfaction wash over me. I did it, I finally took my father’s company back.“I’ll be in the living room,” I said to Stacy.“Alright, dinner will be served soon,” she said without looking up from what she was doing.When I got to the living room I dialled Cathy’s number to update her on the current situation and to know how it’s going in her end.“Boss,”Cathy greeted as she picked up her call.“One would think you’re usually this professional when talking to me,” I said laughing.“But I’m usually professional, dude don’t throw me in the corner like that,” she said, laughing along with me.“S
Stacy’s POV“Will you sleep in the master bedroom tonight?” Marcelo asked as I was about to go upstairs in my room. With the look in his eyes I couldn’t say no. Not only his look though because I want to also.“Alright,” I said.“I’ll join you soon then,” he said and I nodded as I moved upstairs.I push the door of the room open and switch on the light, I look around the room. I have not really had a proper look at the room before because I have mostly been here at night and it’s always dim light. And even the last time I went to my room before day break.I kick off my slippers and walk over to the bed and run my hands over the soft duvet before adjusting my body properly to lay on the bed.I brought out my phone and scrolled through social media. It’s been a while since I checked my socials. Life has been dealing with me so badly that I hardly check my phone anymore.My eyes glaze over as I see post after post, a lot sure has happened here. I see different celebrities’ updates. This
Marcelo’s POVI walk back into Stacy’s hospital ward, my mind still reeling from the news about Cassie. I'm glad to be back by her side, to see her safe and recovering.I already called her friend after Ryan sent her number, she almost screamed my ears off when I told her Stacy is in the hospital. I wonder what she would do if she hears the circumstances surrounding it.As I sat down in the chair beside her bed waiting for her friend to come I did something weird that I don’t think I’ve ever done before, I sang. I sang, “stay with me,” by Sam smith.I didn’t know when the door opened, until I saw a familiar face in my peripheral vision. It's Jennifer and she was giving me a weird look.“What?” I asked.“Nothing. Don’t just ever try using singing as a career,” she says in a mocking tone. I scowled at her immediately and she turned back.“So,” Jenny says softly, as she approaches the bed. “How is she?”“She’s stable,” I said, repeating what the doctor said.“What really happened?” She a
Marcelo’s POVThe doctor comes out of the operating room, a look of relief on his face. “It's done,” he says. “The bullet is out, and she's stable.”I breathe a sigh of relief. “Thank you doctor,” I said gratefully.“But there’s one more thing;” he said and my heart beat accelerated. “We can’t say when she will wake up,”“Do you mean she’s in a coma?” I asked,“I won’t put it that way, you know in a coma we aren’t sure if the patient will wake up but I can assure you your wife will wake up so literally she’s not in coma. Let’s say she’s taking a deep sleep,” he explains.I nod my head not knowing what to say. At least there’s hope that she will be up.“We will move her to the private ward as you requested,” he said. I gave him a small grateful smile.I watch as the nurses wheel her into the ward while I follow closely behind them.After they left I sat beside Stacy’s hospital bed, my heart racing with anxiety as I gaze at her pale face. Just hours ago, she was in the clutches of that
Stacy’s POVI feel myself floating, weightless, in a sea of darkness. I try to open my eyes, but they won't budge. I'm trapped in this abyss, unable to escape.I remember being shot by Cassie, it feels like I’m in the warehouse again, this time it’s just me and Cassie and she’s pointing a gun at me and threatening to shoot me and I was pleading for her not to shoot me but she didn’t listen and shot me but before I could fall to the ground. I’m suddenly transported to a vivid dream. I'm walking through a beautiful garden, surrounded by vibrant flowers and the warm sunshine. Marcelo by my side, holding my hand. We're laughing and smiling, without a care in the world. I didn’t see Cassie or Cathy in this dream and I didn’t see Mr Jones or the masked men here. Everywhere looks so beautiful and peaceful.But the dream shifts, and I'm back in the darkness. I hear beeping sounds and muffled voices. I try to speak, but my voice is barely a whisper. The sound of the beeps reminds me of my mo
Marcelo’s POVCassie is still pointing her gun at me, we all look helpless even Cathy, her sister can’t stop her. Seems like this Cassie lady is living in her own delusion.“Chris brings that bitch in,” Then I see Chris bring Betty in from an entrance different from the one we came in. No wonder we didn’t see anyone outside. There's another entrance that leads to the underground.Betty is gagged and bound, her eyes wide with fear. Chris stands there unable to look me in the eyes.I feel a rush of emotion as I take in the sight. Betty, the woman I once loved, now a pawn in this twisted game.How did she even get involved from the very beginning? I don’t think I can ever see her the same way anymore, the betrayal, the pain and the torture I went through because I thought she died because I couldn’t protect her not knowing she was working with them.Cassie laughs. “Surprise,” she says. “I decided to do a small reunion for you and your women,” she said, still laughing.I feel a wave of ra
Marcelo’s POV“Story time,” Cassie screamed. I’m starting to think she’s actually bipolar because of someone who was pointing a gun a few minutes ago.“There was a man and woman, they were lovers and the woman loves him and the man loves the woman so much or that’s just what the woman thinks.”“During their time together the man wants to be rich and was looking for something else but the woman loves him regardless. Then one day the man started making little money, then he decided the woman wasn't good enough for him and you know what he did?” She asked, looking around the room like the maniac she is. Waiting for someone to give her an answer.“How are we supposed to have the answer to your question,” I said with a scowl on my face. I just wanted to strangle her.“Maybe you don’t but my sister does,” she said pointing at Cathy.“Anyway moving on,” she continues. “He left her, he left the woman that loves him for another woman. The woman tried to find love again after the betrayal but s
Marcelo’s POVI keep looking at the weird lady Cassie, apparently she has been watching me for a long time then it clicked. She’s definitely the one that sent a picture of me and my private investigator.“Wait, wait, before you start your story have you been the one sending me pictures?” I asked,“Oh that is one of the many things I’ve done to you,” she laughed. I’m trying to wrap my head around all of this. Then she speaks again. “You remember when your wife was followed when she came to visit you one time? Yes I did that too in fact Chris the head of your security was behind the wheel,” she revealed.I can see Stacy’s surprised expression and Ella is just looking confused. She obviously doesn’t understand what’s going on, I need to get her out of here. I signalled Marlo who was standing close to me and whispered something to him.“Get both of them out of here safely,” I told him.But before Marlo can move, Cassie steps forward, her hand emerging from her jacket with a gun. “I don't
Stacy’s POVI see the door of the room burst open, and my heart skips a beat as I see Marcelo standing in the doorway, his gun drawn and a fierce look in his eyes. He looks scary, I haven’t ever seen him like this before but today he looks so different. And behind him is one of the men I’ve seen around the mansion, I think he’s name is Thompson or so.“Ella, Stacy,” he shouts, his voice echoing off the walls of the warehouse.I'm shocked, disbelieving. How did he find us? How did he get here so fast? I knew he was going to come for us but I didn’t think he would find us quickly especially in the middle of the night.Marcelo’s eyes scan the room, looking at everyone in the room. He rushes towards us, his face etched with worry and relief.“Are you guys okay?” He asks, his voice laced with emotion. I nod, still in shock. “Y-yes, we're fine.”He pulls us into a tight hug, holding us close. “I was so worried about you,” he whispers. “I'm so sorry I didn't protect you better.” He sounded l
Marcelo POVAs we go down the stairs, I discover the place is even wider than I thought. How can anyone think of building an underground here? I would have argued this type of place isn’t in the warehouse to even think it’s this wide.We soon got to the end of the stairs, as Thompson and I moved deeper into the darkness, I could hear noise coming from the top meaning there is chaos outside my men have attacked.I stopped immediately and I saw a room that has a door. This is probably where the voice has been coming from. The voice is getting clearer and I can make out some of the conversation.“Then why did you agree to the contract? Why didn’t you just say no? You're just a f**king gold digger.” I hear a familiar voice, I think I can tell who it is but I’m not so sure yet.“My mum was sick, I had to agree because I needed the money for her surgery, what could I have done,” That’s definitely Stacy’s voice, there’s no way I can miss that.“I really don’t care, you know, but now I’m lite
Stacy’s POVCathy, did you hate me that much?” I asked with tears in my eyes.“I f**king hates you with all the fibre in my body and yes I told her to take you because since you came and Marcelo ignores me, something he hasn't done before. He starts listening to you more while he sees me as evil, he looks at you in a way he has never looked at me when I’m the one that has been by his side from the very beginning,” she said all at once, her words dripping with disgust and her hatred for me.“But you know the whole truth, you know why he married me, you know it’s all a charade.” I said.“Of course I know but why did he choose you for that charade and not me? I’ve sacrificed my time for him, I’ve served him and protected him with all my strength yet he picked you just because you saved his sister. That doesn’t beat everything I’ve done for him,” she yelled.“I didn’t choose for this to happen, you know he came to me first.” I explained with tears in my eyes. I can’t wrap my head around a
