Marcelo’s POV

I burst into laughter the moment she dashed out of my office, I seem to have an effect on her or maybe I’m just thinking too much about it.

My mind went back to the heartfelt conversation I had with Marlo before Stacy came in, they lost sight of Naomi again, it’s been so hard to catch her.

I heard a knock on the door. “Come in,” I said.

“It is Ryan,” he replied, peeping through.

“Common in, how is it going?” I asked.

“I just spoke to Marlo,” he said,

“I spoke to him also, the bastard said they lost sight of Naomi again,” I said looking pissed off.

“Yeah that’s what I wanted to tell you, I didn’t know he already spoke to you,”

“He probably told you first before calling me,” I said.

“Is it that Marlo is no longer competent or Naomi is just so good at playing hide and seek?” I asked,

“I think Naomi is being protected by those who killed Mabel, they won’t want anyone leaking their secrets that’s why Mabel was killed when she was caught,” he explained.

    Stacy’s POVAfter I left Marcelo’s office, I called Jennifer to give her the latest update.“Hey sister, so did Mr billionaire agree to have me in his mansion, I can’t wait to explore the house. I have seen some articles saying the Willson’s mansion is also one of the most wealthy and most expensive property.” she said giggling.“Yeah I know right, ever since I have been in the house, I haven’t been able to see all the rooms. You won’t believe the other I found out there was a cinema in the mansion. Ellla even told me there is a gym house, game house, and there is even a fitting room in there.”“Wow, wow Stacy you really are in heaven,” Jenny said.“I can’t possibly take you on the tour myself because we will both get lost,” I said laughing out loud.“Oh and he did say you were invited and even offered to let a driver pick you up but I told him that isn’t necessary,” I said.“Why would you even say it isn’t necessary, do you want the friend of the bride to come in a taxi? How can you

    Marcelo’s POVI kept looking at her till she left the garden and I finally lost sight of her.It’s the wedding day and I feel so numb, I don’t feel happy because there’s obviously nothing to be happy about. It’s not a real wedding after all but I don’t feel bad because I’m finally going to take what belongs to me from my so-called uncle Jones. Suddenly something popped into my head.“Fuck, why did I not remember this before?” I scolded myself.I looked around Ryan and I saw him talking to one of the decorators. I walked towards them so I could speak to him.“Ryan,” I called out.“Boss, do you need anything?” He asked as he left the person and moved closer to me.“Ermmm, I didn’t ask but did you call any priest for the wedding?” I said scratching my head. I totally forgot a priest is supposed to officiate the wedding.I can see him trying so hard not to laugh, “Yes I did,” I breathe a sigh of relief.“Oh thank goodness, I’m completely clueless,” I said. “Do I know him?” I asked.“Yes F

    Stacy’s POVAfter I got back to my room, I rested for a bit then it dawned on me that I haven’t seen Ella today. “I should go see her before things get busy.” I said to myself.As I stood up from my bed, I heard a knock on my door. I quickly moved to open it since I’m close to the door anyway.“Hi,” I greeted Rose, hiding my surprise, she had never knocked on my door before.“Hi, I wanted to inform you that the makeup team is here and the lady that brought your dress the other day is here also.” She refused to meet my eyes while talking. I guess she is a shy one, I thought as I looked at her.“Oh Elena, where are they?” I asked.“The fitting room,” she said.“Oh thank you, I’ll be with them shortly.” I said, she nodded and left.“That was fast, I thought the wedding was not starting until noon.” I said to myself. I checked my phone and saw it was almost 12pm in the afternoon.“Oh wow the time is really moving fast also,” I said again and hurried to the part of the house where the fitt

I’m waiting for Ryan to call me when the priest is around so I took my time to dwell on everything that has happened recently and the possibility of the future.Whether this is a fake wedding or not, my life will change drastically. I have to protect Stacy as well, if not for the fact that I need a wife to get the company. I’m not mentally ready for marriage.I’m sacrificing two years of my life for this company.

When I was younger, I saw my father work hard to build this empire, he and my mother fought several times because he came late from work when the workload was too much.

I know you are thinking again, you look so lost Stacy,” Jennifer questioned looking at me.“I’m just grateful you’re here, I’m so thankful,” I told her.“I know it’s a fake wedding, but I won’t miss it for the world, you are my sister Stacy.” She said in a low voice so people around wouldn’t hear her.“You should wear your dress now, you might have to go downstairs anytime soon,” she said.“Sure,” I turned to call Elena who was patiently waiting for me to call her.“I’m ready now,” I told her.“We will excuse you for now, call us when you’re done so I can retouch the makeup,” Ruby said as he and Rachael left the room.I stood up while she went to bring out the dress from the closet where she kept it. It still looks the same as the other day.“Your dress is so beautiful,” Jenny said squealing in admiration. “Woooh it so prett

    Marcelo’s POVAs she walked down the aisle, I just couldn’t take my eyes off her, she looked so beautiful. Her dress hugs her body perfectly bringing out the curves, her shape which she hides under big joggers and sweatshirts.Sunlight shone on her flawless face. The makeup complimented her face perfectly, she’s so gorgeous, I know she’s pretty but today she looks even more perfect.As she got closer her eyes locked with mine I can feel the tension in her body, she feels so nervous I can see it in her eyes even though she’s trying so hard to mask it.She finally got to where I was standing. I offered her my hand, which she took . With our hands clasped together we faced the priest who gave us a warm and kind smile. I haven't seen a smile this genuine in a long time.Then he began, “dear beloved, we are gathered here to witness the union of two souls bound together by love and trust,” I almost laughed at that statement but I kept a straight face.He continued, “As they stand before us

    Stacy’s POVI was still talking to Jenny when some of the mansion workers came to where we were standing.“Congratulations Miss Stacy,” the gardener greeted. To be honest I don’t know most of their names because I’m usually just inside the mansion tending to Ella. I only know the gardener because he is the first person I meet sometimes when going inside and he is always there in his busy duty.There are so many workers here in the mansion that I sometimes see just once or haven’t even seen at all. The mansion is big, as are the employees too.“Thank you,” I said, plastering my well rehearsed fake smile on my face.“Congratulations Miss Stacy,” the rest greeted simultaneously. “Thank y’all so much,” I said, still smiling.After the exchange they all left Jennifer turned to say something but Ella interrupted her. “Stacy, I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” she said pouting.“Sorry baby, do you need something?” I asked.“No, I have a gift for you, though,” she said.“Really?

    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

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
