Meanwhile, Frank was having the worst day of his life, or was it the last day? He thought to himself as he got off the plane. When he first decided to go after Marcus and take Nera away, he had prepared himself for the worst. He was even surprised that he had made it a month without taking a bullet to the chest.However, he never expected to be flown to the other side of the world with poison in his system that was slowly consuming him.He could feel freezing spasms all over his body, and he didn't know how long he had. All he was given was a map to a warehouse where to find an antidote. And if he wanted the antidote to be brought to him, he needed to give them the names of his lawyer and all the recordings.Unfortunately, the lawyer in the confession video was just a homeless junkie whom he had paid to ask questions that he had written for himself.The stupid video was fake; he needed something to scare Marcus into fear, but now it looked like the old man had opened his eyes and seen
Ireen's world came crumbling down in front of her. The room felt like it was sipping out of control while the chair it was seated on felt like it had thorns on it. Back then she had a feeling something was wrong when her son chose to stay back in America. But she had ignored her instincts.She wanted him to learn a lesson from the fucking old women. That was what he told her; she thought he was sleeping with an old woman but the truth was worse than a taboo."Mom…mom…Are you there?" Frank asked.Ireen quickly wiped her tears, "Yes… I am here. You said….you have been sleeping with Marcus's wife?""Yes… he used to drug her so that..." Frank tried to explain but could not get the words out of his mouth. His throat was feeling a little numb.Irreen covered her hand on her mouth, as tears began rolling down her cheeks."I…am…dying, mom… I am dying," he whispered."What? ...where are you? What do you mean you are dying?" She asked."He poisoned me, mom, Marcus poisoned me," he informed her.
Nera walked into the house with a serious face. She was not going to cry; Frank was just like Greg and Marcus. She was cursed to never find a man who loved her completely with all his heart. She was stuck with selfish men who only wanted to use her for their own selfish gain.So she did not want to know where Frank was or why he had decided to ditch her after the pregnancy news.Marcus was left in the gardens, staring at the floor beds. He expected her to start demanding answers, but it looked like the message worked, and she believed every word. Or was she just hurt and that was her way of processing everything?"Everything was falling into place, but he was not in a celebratory mood. He was supposed to pop a champagne bottle. He won but he kept looking at the flower beds, pissed. They looked a bit dry from the amount fucking that used to go on, on them.Irritated he walked awayHe followed Nera into the house and found her in the kitchen, where he watched as she started preparing di
Within a week, Frank recovered completely. His family was always there with him at the hospital at his bedside, even though he had not made his decision.He knew it was selfish of him to go and rescue Nera. They had made a lot of plans together; they even had a country where they would run to and start over.He could only imagine what she was going through or what story Marcus had fed her with. One thing his mother was right about was that he was not going to hurt her, but he was going to make her life very miserable.Just thinking about it made his head hurt. He had to choose between Nera or his family. A family that sacrificed everything for his stupidity and moved to some third-world country, and he could not see how he would betray them.He sank into his bed not knowing what to do; it was not supposed to be a debatable solution, but when he thought about Sam and his unborn child being raised by Marcus the monster, everything changed into a debate.The door opened and his mother ca
Meanwhile, Marcus drove to his new favorite strip club. For a month, the place became his comfort place. Throwing money at the strippers and getting lap dances from as many strippers as he could manage to pay for and then getting a good fuck.He was one of the favorite customers, and he had a lot of girls lining up for him. They all knew that he had a lot of money to spend, so they were always all over him, lining up to be next on his lap.He sat on one of the couches with a drink in one hand and a girl in his other hand, having the time of his life. He was old, but he had decided not to have his last late years miserable.As things stood, he was miserable; his marriage with Nera just never quite picked up after her affair with Frank.He had tried, but she was the one who was supposed to put in more effort, but instead, she just blocked him off and spent her days on the stupid couch, dirty and snacking.She had put on weight and was no longer the beautiful princess that he fell in lov
After a day, Nera finally regained consciousness and she was able to hold her baby in her hands. At first glance, she could tell the baby was a total replica of Frank. From the hair, the eyes, and the smile.It was like she was getting punished for sleeping with her husband's nephew, so the baby came out as a total female version of Frank.However, she had no option but to accept the baby. It was her mistake, and she was not going to let the baby suffer for it.She looked up at the nanny, who could not stop smiling."Did Marcus come by?" She asked."Yes, he came yesterday and did not stay for long," the nanny replied, sad for her boss."Did he hold the baby?" She asked."No…," she replied. The room became quiet, with Nera deep in thought. There was no way Marcus knew about the affair, she kept convincing herself. Frank looked like Marcus so she was safe."Did he look at the baby?" She asked."No, I told him it was a girl, then he asked why you didn't call us or him when you went into
Frank looked at his mother, who was behind the counter and looked to be downing a bottle of wine, then looked at Shelby, who was so excited to see him.She ran into his arms and held on to him tightly."I missed you so bad," she cried out.Frank just stood there, staring at his family in confusion. They had made a pact never to tell anyone where they were, and Shelby would not just pop up unless one of them told her.Shelby let go of him and looked up at his confused face."I love the blonde hair; it makes you look more adorable when you are shocked," she laughed.Frank kept staring at her"Come on, join us; Angel was just telling me about all the cool places here," she said.Frank quickly held her hand."How did you know that we were here?" He asked.Shelby looked in Angel's direction, and Frank now understood what Angel meant over the phone. "Do not crucify me; he held on to your location for more than a year before finally telling me," she confessed."What?" Frank looked in Angel'
"What?" Frank was caught tongue-tied.He wanted her to say she was joking, but she handed him the pregnancy stick with two lines and jumped on him."I know this is not what we planned, but I think a baby is what we both need to heal," she kissed him all over his face.She paused for a second, noticing that he was quiet. She was not surprised; she expected such a reaction. She slowly led him to a seat and said, "Frank, I know this is a little fast, but we have known each other for years," she explained. "So this should not seem like we are two strangers."Well, this is unexpected," Frank finally said."And we are going to do fine, and from the way you have taken care of Angel and Sarah, I know you are going to be a good father," she said.Frank got up, rubbing his hands in his hair; the news confused him for a second.A knock came at the door, and Ireen walked in."Shelby, are we going to the bakery?" She asked"Guess who is going to be a grandma for the first time?" Shelby got up exc
