Marcelo’s POV

I didn’t know why I did that, why did I pull her into my embrace.

When she called me and said she was being followed, I felt so scared like history repeating itself, the fear of not protecting the people around me, at that point I thought of Betty and how she died because of me.

Immediately I saw Stacy, I felt relieved and happy. I don’t think I have ever been so happy to see someone in my life. I guess that's why I found myself hugging her.

“I’m glad you’re fine,” I said, pulling away from the hug.

“Thank you,” she said in a shaky voice.

“Let’s go in,”

“Sure,” she said,

We soon got into the mansion, Ella was upstairs in her room, probably reading about the moon again.

“Let me get you some tea,” I told her.

“No, I’m fine,”

“Are you sure? You need something warm to keep you in check,” I said again.

“No I’m good, just a little shaken up from the encounter, it has never happened to me before,” she said.

“Alright, can you tell me what really happened?” I was curious.

    Stacy’s POVI’m suddenly nervous with different thoughts running through my head.What if Ella doesn’t like the idea of me and Marcelo? Would I have to refund the money? What if those people come back for me?What if I can’t handle the pressure of this whole thing? I had so many thoughts.“Stacy, are you okay? You look pale,” Marcelo asked,“Yeah, I’m fine,” I said, giving a weak smile.“You haven’t touched your food,” he said,“I’ve had a little, I’m not that hungry, I’ll clear the table,” I said.“You don’t have to,”“I’m still a worker here remember and I still get paid,” I told him as I cleared the plates on the table since everyone was done eating except me.I took the plates to the kitchen and came back with a cup of ice cream for Ella as promised.“Ice cream mm,” she screamed when she saw it as I placed it in her front and started eating it almost immediately.“So Marcelo tell me what you wanted to share, I have been curious since morning, I’m still curious now,” she said with

    Marcelo’s POVI went back to my office after we told Ella the news, I’m surprised she took it pretty well. I thought she was going to be dramatic about it but I think it’s because she likes Stacy already so that makes it a lot easier for me.Talking about Stacy I’m really bothered about her, she isn’t familiar with my world, I can see she’s skeptical about the whole thing already. She just doesn’t have a choice because of her mum but then she should be protected at all cost since I got her into this mess.Chris didn’t even report to work today and his phone has been off, will it be safe to even entrust him with Stacy’s safety with how unserious he has been lately.I decided to call Cathy, these days she hasn’t been coming to work a lot, still doing undercover to get more dirt on the Ravens and my Uncle which I do not mind.“Yo man,” she said when she picked.“When will you be done with this undercover thing, I miss having you around,” I lamented.“Wowsomeone misses me I see,” she chuc

    Stacy’s POVWhen I retired to the guest room last night, I didn’t sleep immediately with different thoughts crossing my mind after talking to Jenny. I wonder what would have happened if the driver didn’t know another route, would I have been kidnapped or even worse killed?Then my mind went to Ella. She seemed so scared yesterday. I'm sure it wasn’t just a dream, it’s probably a memory from the past that it’s taunting her.I could remember seeing a fearful look in her eyes. I suspected something was wrong but I wasn’t too sure but now it’s certain and I need to help her heal from it.I decided to go downstairs after brushing my teeth and changing out of my nightwear to make something for them, it’s my job anyway, also Rose isn’t around so I might as well cook up something. When I got downstairs I met Marcelo.“Good morning Sir,” I said,“Good morning Stacy and stop using sir for me, I already told you several times,” he cautioned.“I’m sorry, I’m just so used to it and you’re still m

    Marcelo’s POVIt was Chris at the door. “Good morning boss,” he greeted.“To my office now!” I said in a low commanding tone because Ella is around. I don't want to scare her.By the time we got to my office, I was already fuming with anger. I hate when people take their job lightly.“Chris, tell me why you didn’t come to work yesterday and you didn’t inform anyone that you weren’t going to come in?” I bellowed.“I can explain boss,” he said,“You better make sure your excuse is genuine,” I said, waiting for him to talk.“I got attacked on my way here yesterday,” he said,“Attacked? By who?” I asked suddenly.“I don’t know boss, they took me unaware and I lost my phone in the process. I escaped by chance,” he said, showing me the scratch on his arm.The story wasn’t really adding up or I was thinking about it too much. I thought.“You should have found a way to reach out at least,” I said looking at him.“I’m sorry sir, I just thought it would be better to tell you in person,” he expl

    Stacy’s POV I could see the smirk on Marcelo’s lips as he stepped back, he definitely knows the hold he has on me. “Ermmmm I’ll be leaving now,” I said quickly. “Oh okay, where’s Ella though?” He said as if suddenly remembering his sister after putting me through such torture. “Her tutor is here,” I said, “Okay,” “I’ll just say goodbye to her before leaving,” I said. “Alright, have a great day,” he said, “You too, bye,” I said and left the room. I went to where Ella and her tutor were seated. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheeks and promised to come back soon. I took a taxi back to the hospital, on my way I was staring at the ring all throughout and I kept looking at the back to see if any black car was on our tail. “Ma’am are you okay?” The taxi driver asked at a point. “Yeah I’m fine,” I replied with a tight smile. I don’t blame him for asking. I would have asked myself if I was in his position. I think I now have a phobia after what happened. I breathed

You didn’t say you were coming.”“You said you missed me, didn’t you?” She said walking into the office.“I didn’t say that, I said you should report to work soon,” I defended.Okay okay you never admit, but it is the same anyways and I’m fully back to work,” she said.“Good to have you back,”“Thanks, how’s the wedding plan going?” She asked,“To be honest I have been so busy that I haven’t made any arrangements,”“I thought you said the wedding is next weekend, you don’t even have up to 10 days,”“I know, I just have a lot on my plate,” I explained,“Or will you just move the wedding so as to have enough time to prepare?” She suggested, “Or you are having second thoughts about

I really tried to be strong but I guess the sickness was bigger than my will,” she said weakly, almost in tears.“It's okay mom, I know,” I said, trying not to cry also.“So what would you like us to talk about?” I asked,“Anything, tell me how life has been lately,” she said.“Hmmm, life has just been life, going to work then coming here that’s all I've been doing you know my life isn’t all that eventful.” I narrated.“I’m sorry my sickness is taking a toil on you,” she said in a sad voice.“No

I can’t invite him to my house yet as there is a rat among my men and I don’t know who it is yet, I don’t even know how to start.“Why do you say that?” I asked,“I tracked his calls and there’s a particular number he calls almost everyday,” he said,“It could be some woman, probably his new play thing, It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s someone supporting him.” I said.“You’re right but I just want us to be open to every possibility,” he explained.“Do you have anything else for me?” I asked,“Your uncle has been talking to some investors abroad to sell the company shares to,”“That bastard still hasn’t learnt his lesson, no wonder he kept quiet all these while.“Yeah he has been working underneath, you should do something soon, I don’t really know who he is selling them to,”“Yeah, that's why I’m getting married soon, so I can

    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
