Marcelo’s POV

For some reasons I find myself being affectionate towards Stacy which is unlike me.

After Ryan drove off I went back into the mansion, I didn’t see Ella and Rose around. I went to the garden and saw them playing cards. I didn't want to disturb them so I went back inside quietly. As I got to the mansion entrance I saw Ella’s tutor. She looks so innocent but I know better. I don’t think I have ever seen her closely like this before.

“Good morning Sir Marcelo,” she greeted politely, almost convinced she is a saint. Actually I have got nothing on her yet but I don’t have a good feeling about her either.

“Good morning Miss,” I greeted. “You must be here for Ella, she’s in the garden,” I said.

“Thank you sir,” she said and I entered the mansion.

Today I’ve decided to go into my parents room. I have been avoiding the room since they died but I have to do what I have to do. I need to find my father’s phone. I need to know if he found out anything about Jones’s child. Marlo will

    Stacy’s POVI step into the hospital room, the beeping of machines and the antiseptic smell enveloping me. My heart aches as I approach my mother's bedside, her frail form lying motionless on the hospital bed. It’s so heartbreaking seeing her like this. I really hope she wakes up soon.It hasn’t been long since I checked on her but my heart feels so heavy again, I don’t like this situation my mom is in. When will she wake?Ryan is currently standing outside the room, I persuaded him to just stay in the car but he didn’t agree. He said and quoted, “It’s the boss’s order that I follow you everywhere and I don’t let you out of my sight. I’m so sorry Miss Stacy but I have to follow the order.” The boss this, the boss that.Just then, I heard Jennifer’s voice outside the door. She's probably talking to Ryan; she must have recognized him from the wedding, he was the one that brought her to the fitting room that day anyway.She opens the door gently and enters quietly like if she’s any loud

    Marcelo’s POVI was busy by the time Stacy got back yesterday, I got a call from Sarah, my dad's secretary, yesterday and she told me Jones came to constitute some nuisance in the office yesterday and I told her the only way to stop him from coming back is for me to finally start working in the office.Since the week is almost over I’ve decided to start working fully by Monday and a board meeting will also be held on that monday. I know my position is not a joke and some of the board members don’t think I’m capable enough. It's not like I care but I also want to prove them wrong.I slept off in my office and by the time I woke up I was covered with a blanket and I know only Stacy can be this compassionate. I stood up and went into my room to freshen up and get dressed for the day.This weekend I want to take enough rest because I know from Monday it will be chaotic trying to run my business and my father’s construction company but that’s fine I can do it and I’ll definitely have assis

    Stacy’s POVI left the living room immediately after Ella's tutor came over. I don't like to be a distraction, so I went straight to my room for some alone time and probably talk to Jennifer too.I had earlier planned to go visit my mother in the hospital but I heard Marcelo called Ryan to carry out an assignment so that means no outing today since I can’t go out alone yet.I wonder when we will finally get to catch the culprit. I don't feel comfortable with Ryan following me around not because I don’t like him or I’m uncomfortable around him, it just seems like I’m using him. I know he gets paid for what he does but I prefer if he works directly with Marcelo, his boss, than me who’s just his boss’s fake wife.Sometimes I feel like I’m not entitled to treatments like this but then I’m in this situation because of him. I still don’t know why he got married to me. I know some people might say why didn’t you ask about it before agreeing to the contract. Here I’m complaining after I signe

    Marcelo’s POVI went downstairs to where Ella’s tutor was. I can't remember her name so well, but I think Ryan should because he’s the one that went through her CV before accepting her.When I got to where she was still tutoring Ella and the both of them didn't seem to notice my presence, I decided to announce my presence by speaking up.“Why did you do that?” I asked, They both looked confused then Ella spoke up. “I didn’t do anything Marcelo,” she said in a soft voice.“I wasn’t talking to you baby, I’m talking to your tutor, I mean she can hear me isn't,” I said then repeated the question. “Why did you do that Miss?” I said, trying to control my anger.She stood up, she looked so innocent and if I didn’t know any better I would think she’s being lied against. Like she didn't do anything wrong at all.“I don’t understand what you’re talking about sir," she said innocently while adjusting the glasses on her face.“Ella go upstairs now and don't come down until I tell you to,” I orde

    Marcelo’s POV“I need you to hack into a phone,” I said, over the phone to my private investigator, holding the phone in my hand tightly. I'm so angry right now,“What phone boss?” He asked cluelessly,“It belongs to the bitch who has been sending those messages to Stacy. She's currently downstairs and has refused to tell her password, I mean I have to open the phone to check what is really going on,” I said angrily.“Okay sir, can you check the back or bottom of the phone for the IMEI number that will make it quicker,” he said.Without wasting time I searched the exterior of the phone and finally I found the IMEI number at the bottom part of the phone.“Found it, didn't know hacking of phone is so easy,” I said,“Can you call it out sir?”“Sure. 13-44444......”“Alright sir, the phone will open soon,” he says.“Okay I’ll just stay on the line and let you know when it finally opens,”“Okay boss,” he said. I could hear him typing vigorously on the keypad. I know he’ll come through, he'

    Stacy’s POVI feel like I’m currently watching a movie right now because I don’t want to believe what’s happening, am I imagining things or I’m having one of those weird dreams again. Unconsciously I pinched myself and that pinch made me realise this was reality, it's no drama and it’s no dream as well.I looked up and my eyes met Marcelo's. I'm sure he was looking at me for a while but I was carried away, I looked away and went back into my own world.I can’t believe Ella’s tutor is the culprit, how did she even get access to my instagram account. I have never once had an argument with her. I mean how’s it even positive to have an argument with someone you hardly speak to, the moment she walks in here to take Ella, I excuse myself immediately because I don’t want to be a distraction.My mind went back to it all, the times we all left Ella alone with her because we trusted her since she’s her tutor. What if she had done something to Ella during that period that we left them alone.Wi

    Marcelo’s POVI entered my office feeling so down, I really wish everything that happened downstairs isn’t real but I know better. I might not talk to the lady much but the point is that I trusted Ella with her yet she’s been the one threatening my wife all these while, the enemy is really from within.I hated the fact that I even left Ella with her before, the worst part of everything is Chris that is involved. I still can’t wrap my head around it, I’m still confused and I know there’s more to it. I still don’t know what her relationship with Chris is. Chris is one of my most trusted men. I feel like I’ve been punched in the guts. What could have made him act like that? Or could the meeting be coincidental like he said? I really wish it was true, I thought but then I remember the lady saying he told her about the job.For the first time in my life I don’t know what to do and I don’t know what step to take. I don’t know who to trust. It feels like I’m trapped in a web of lies and d

    Stacy’s POVThe next few days went by in a blur, I didn’t see much of Marcelo. It'sMarcelo. It's either he was doing something in his office or he’s just out of the mansion.I didn’t hear anything about Chris and Ella’s tutor either, I had no choice but to ask Ryan about it and he told me he handed them over to the cops on Marcelo’s order. I’m glad he followed my advice.I know the cops won’t do much to them especially since she hasn’t carried out all of her threats before sheshe got caught and there was no evidence that Chris instigated it either aside from the pictures but it can’t be used in court since it wasn’t taken legally.I know Marcelo feels so low, I don’t think he has really eaten since then and I’m starting to get worried. I don’t know if I should go check on him or not, I’m still in my room in fact still in my night wear. I had no zeal to go downstairs. I'm sure Rose would have attended to Ella’s needs today.I heard my phone ringing and that was enough to snap me out of

    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
