Fatal Marriage Chapter 36
Slowly but steadily, Marcus took short breaths. Back at the hospital, the doctors warned him to control his temper if he did not want to have a stroke. He could hear Nera yelling but decided to ignore her and get some sleep for the sake of his blood pressure and sanity.He walked to the bed but remembered that she had instructed him to use another room. He could not blame her; he had disappeared on her just like he always did when there was trouble.He changed into his pajamas, grabbed a pillow, and walked out of the room. He was going to honor her wish and sleep in a different room and wait for her until she calmed down.However, when he woke up in the morning, he found Nera yelling at the servants, just like he left her when he slept. He walked out of the room, pissed, and ordered her to follow him."Marcus, I am busy!" She yelled back."Nera! Now!" He yelled at the top of his voice. It was the first time he was yelling at her in their three years of marriage.Nera turned while the

For unknown reasons, Marcus felt numbness in his legs and quickly held on to the wall for balance. The driver quickly ran to his aid."Are you okay, sir? Is there something?" the driver asked."I am fine; help me walk to my office," he requested.The driver looked at him puzzled. He was expecting him to run after his wife and tell her the good news.With his boss's hand over his shoulder, he led the way to the office."Sir, you have to ask her to take a test; this is how my wife and I found out we were expecting," he tried to start up a conversation, but Marcus asked him to shut up and leave the office.The driver quickly shut up; he always knew when to shut up or turn a blind eye and was well aware that if Nera was pregnant, it was not his boss's but the young man he used to pick back and forth from the hotel to the mansion.A deadly secret that he swore to take to his grave. He quickly walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. His boss's behavior was very odd; he was e

Meanwhile, after all the failed efforts to get in touch with Marcus, Frank spent the entire week patrolling the nightclubs and spending all the little money he was earning on alcohol and women.He was still in Taxes, ashamed to go back home. He couldn't face his mother; how could he when he had run out of lies and excuses? He had failed, and he felt worthless. His brother was going to die because of him, and he was too worthless to prevent it.He had tried going to the mansion but stopped at the gate when he realized he was going to bump into Marcu's wife, so he talked himself out of the stupid plan. Seeing her face was only going to invite more demons into his head.The one week of free hotel services Marcus had paid for was over, and his return ticket expired, which meant he was going to have to pay for his own ticket back.It was a matter of time before the old man stopped paying for the dialysis. That was the reality he did not want to face his mother.He knew hiding was not going
Fatal Marriage Chapter 39
His breathing became erratic, while his throat became dry. His eyes were heavy for all the days he had failed to get some sleep. He was scared of what he was going to find once he opened his eyes. He bet everything on the stupid test, and he began realizing that he had a lot to lose if he was going to find one line. One month away from Nera meant the end of their marriage. He couldn't see how they would come back from that.However, he was a man of risks; his entire success was based on taking risks. Most of the risks questioned his mental status but they always paid off. He swallowed hard, reminding himself of those risks as he slowly opened his eyes to meet two thick lines staring at him.His legs became heavy as he slumped to the floor, fixed on the lines. He closed his eyes again and opened them. To his shock, the lines were still there. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was making himself see what was not there. He opened them again, but the test was still positive. She was preg

With everything sorted, Marcus walked back to Nera's room, certain that all loose ends were covered. The boy was paid in full even though the contract stated the other million would be paid after Nera gave birth, but he decided to settle everything once and for all and hoped for him and his wife to have their happy ending.He walked back to Nera's room with the intention of taking her back home, but when he opened the door, he found the doctor he bribed to lie to Nera about his impotence talking and laughing with Nera."Marcus, do you remember Doctor Smith?" Nera asked in excitement.Marcus froze at the door as his muscles stiffened. He could hear his own heart trying to burst out of his chest."I was just telling her about the African herb that brought about the little miracle inside of me," she laughed out.The doctor stared at Marcus; from his posture and unwelcoming glares, she could tell something was wrong. She did not need her medical degree to know that no herb in the world wo

Frank sat on the floor for hours; he had no idea how many hours had passed, but his shirt got soaked with his tears. He leaned against the bed, still in disbelief.He logged into the account that was set up in his name as a trust fund, and true to the old man's word, the money was there. Only the amount for the surgery was subtracted. He now had over $1 million to his name and had no idea what to do with the money.He never planned or thought about what he would do with the rest of the money after the surgery deduction. His main goal was to get the kidneys for his baby brother.He quickly got up, realizing he needed to be there when his brother woke up. He now had money and could afford a plane ticket not just to Alabama but anywhere in the world.He quickly took a bath and ran to the bank to withdraw some of his money. It was his money, and he did not care how he got it; what mattered was how he was going to use it. Once done, he headed to the airport and booked himself a first-clas
Fatal Marriage Chapter 42
Nera quickly ran to her husband's aid, worried. "Oh my God, Marcus, are you okay?"Marcus pushed her off as he kept puking his guts out. He vividly remembered ordering her not to tell anyone about their pregnancy, but she clearly went against him because uncle Luke was not the type to pop up at the mansion unless she called him."Honey, are you okay?" Nera asked keeping her distance.Marcus finally looked up, to the table where Uncle Luke was eating like there was not a person vomiting some meters away."Get out of my house!" Marcus yelled. He did not care if the man was his in-law."Marcus!" Nera yelled in shock."No, for three years I have tolerated his nonsense because I always thought he would one day come to his senses!" Marcus yelled.Uncle Luke, realizing the man was serious, got up and raised his hands as if surrendering."Nera, it's fine, I was just passing by to check on you," he assured her and walked to where she was standing, giving her a kiss on the cheek."Can I take th
