Marcelo’s POV

I know she’s mad at me, she didn’t say it out loud or to my face but it’s pretty obvious. I don’t know why she’s mad, maybe because I didn’t call her or because of what happened on the wedding night.

I kind of feel pity for her, she hasn’t exactly rested after the wedding now her mum is in the corner.

When I got into the mansion last night Ella was asleep, so I just went straight to my room. A part of me wanted to check up on Stacy but I knew she just wanted to be alone and I respected her decision.

I woke up the next morning a little bothered since I haven’t heard from Chris, I can’t help but wonder what he’s up to.

I have to go to my father’s company today. I haven't really been there in a while and Jones has been causing a whole lot of chaos in my absence. The truth is I was never interested in my father’s construction company while he was alive.

That's why I set up my own personal business that I grew by myself and of course my father’s influence did help me grow qu

I have been working from home all these times.“Nothing at all boss,” he said.“When we arrive at the company, call Marlo and ask if he has heard from Chris recently,” I told Ryan.“Okay boss, I’ll do that,” he said.As we got to the company parking lots, I told Ryan not to park in the open lot.“Go straight to the private parking lot,” I said,“Okay boss,” he said without arguing with me. I wanted to avoid eyes that might be watching.After he parked, I got down from the car and went to use the private elevator that is mostly used during emergencies.I took a deep breath preparing to face Jones, I know this won’t end well. Any confrontation with Jones never ends well.When I got out of the elevator, I went straight to his office but stopped when I didn’t see Sarah the Secretary that was worki

    Marcelo’s POVI stormed out of the office, I can’t believe Jones' audacity. He thinks he can just do whatever he likes with my father’s company, that must be a joke.Not him acting all high and mighty like he knows something I don’t know, because how can he be so confident carrying himself with so much pride.My father built his empire from scratch and now Jones thinks he can take it away without even contributing anything to the growth of the company. I’ll take the company back later, no matter what it takes, I’ll use every trick I know and I’ll make Jones beg for mercy.Jones has forgotten I’m a billionaire who has power, influence and brains, he still thinks I’m the little boy he knew back then.I can’t believe how far he went, my father must be rolling in his grave if he knew how bad things are right now.

I can hear his footsteps as he climbs the stairs.I don’t know why I’m mad at him, maybe because he didn’t call me all through yesterday or maybe even after I got married to him because of my mother’s treatment, yet she still went into a coma. I know I shouldn’t blame him for my misfortunes but it's just hard.Truth be told I don’t feel hatred towards him, I just think he is a very insensitive person.

    Marcelo’s POVThe first thing I did when I got to my office was to put a call through to Ryan since he hasn’t gotten to work.“Boss,” he said immediately.“Where are you?” I asked,“I’m close to the mansion,” he responded.“Okay, report to my office immediately you get here. There are something’s we should take care of,” I ordered, “Okay boss, is there any problem?” He asked,“You’ll know about it when you get here,” I said in a final tone and ended the call. I’m so pissed right, I don’t really know what is going on anymore, I mean I don’t even know if they were strangers. It can’t be coincidence, they both stay in this house so how can they be meeting outside secretly, or are they dating? So many thoughts on my head but I couldn’t figure it out.Not quite long I heard a knock on my office door, I think Ryan is here already, I thought.“Come in,” I said .“Good morning boss,” he greeted.“Morning Ryan,” I said.“What’s the problem boss?”I stretched my phone to him and he collected

I only gave him a small smile in response.“Doctor how’s my mother, is she making improvements because she is just the same to me, just tell me anything please.” I pleaded almost in tears again.“Miss Stacy like I said before your mother is stable, it’s just that she’s in a critical condition right now but not to worry we’re doing everything we can to support her. The surgery was just too much for her,” he explained.I felt a lump in my throat but I swallowed the sob that threatened to come up. “Is there anything I can do to help her wake up quickly?” I asked.“Just be here for her, hold her hands, talk to her, share old memories with her, you can read her favourite books to her too.

    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
