Nera woke up to a beautiful sunny morning; she had overslept, and Marcus allowed her to sleep because they slept late. Marcus spent the whole night teaching her the basics of running a charity and the dos and don'ts, even though he did not like the idea of her entangling herself with her former in-laws.He had woken up early and left for the office, leaving his wife to have as much rest as she needed.Nera stretched her legs and arms, ready for the new day and the new role that she had to fill. Thanks to Marcus, she had gotten an insight into what her job involved, and she loved it.She got out of bed, singing her new favorite hymn. She had a lot to do for the day. First, she was going to the bank to approve the money she had pledged, and then she was going with the driver to the west coast to check on the land.She did not want her pledges to be words from her mouth or hearsay, but she wanted to be a woman of action who did more of the actions than talking.She prepared herself and r
Nera got into the car and instructed the driver to take her home immediately. He tried to speak, but she ordered him to keep quiet. Her mind was trying to figure out who followed her to Alabama and took the photos. She lived a very private life by then and was not trying to get on anyone's nerves, so it did not make sense that either Nicole or Mrs. Blair would have followed.But she was sure the two idiots were behind the allegations."Is Marcus home?" she asked."Yes, he arrived an hour ago," the driver replied.At home, Marcus was fuming at the images, not because someone was trying to implicate his wife and driver but because someone followed him and his wife to Alabama.His blood pressure was all over the roof, and he kept imagining what other photos they had of him or if they had photos of Frank and knew about his arrangement.He quickly called his private investigator to get on the job immediately and ordered him to make the photos disappear. When he thought he had handled ever
"Marcus! Marcus! Marcus!" Nera kept shouting as he held onto his chest, trying to get air in his chest. She quickly called the driver, who went running into the office and helped Marcus to the car. They needed to take him to the hospital.Nera followed from behind, panicking; she couldn't understand what was going on. A second ago, he was all fine, but all of a sudden he began clutching to his chest and having difficulties breathing.They all got in the car, and the driver drove straight to the hospital. Nera kept crying the entire trip. She watched as her husband was stretched into the hospital, her hands over her mouth in disbelief.The driver took her to the waiting area, where they waited impatiently. Nera could not sit down; the chair felt like it had thorns on it. She kept pacing the little space, further annoying the driver.He kept glaring at her knowing she had said something stupid to upset his boss, resulting in his boss's admission.He got up, grabbed her hand, and took he
The morning came with Marcus busy on his phone with his private investigator. He had managed to get most of the websites to take down the stupid allegations about his wife and driver. Only unknown sites with low reach were running the useless story. What was left was to bring the culprits to justice. He knew who they were, but he needed evidence to nail them.Nera, who was fast asleep on the other side of the bed, snoring. He did not want to disturb her, knowing how tired and stressed she was the previous day.He was feeling better himself and had come to terms with the situation. What he regretted was getting agitated at the mention of DNA and compromising his health.If only he could get his hands on the two stupid women for getting him and his wife stressed out. But he needed to exercise patience and set a trap."Can you trace the address that sent the reporter the pictures and fake story?" He asked his PI."The sender sent it from outside the country, but we will be able to track
Greg was left standing, staring at her figure as she disappeared behind the gate, debating to himself and asking whether he heard correctly.He looked at the driver, who had his fists clenched and was breathing heavily. His reaction was an indication that he did not hear double. Nera just invited him and inquired about his tea preference. She still remembered that part of him. He quickly snapped out of it and ran after her. Nera had no intention of inviting him inside the house. She knew how insulting that would be for Marcus, so she led him to the gardens and asked the servants to bring black tea for the guest.Greg followed her and watched as she took a seat. She noticed he was keeping his distance as if he were scared of her. It was funny in some ways, but she maintained her cool."Please take a seat; I will not bite," she joked.Greg gave out a fake smile and took a seat."Thank you; I guess I am just shocked you invited me in," he replied."We are both adults, Greg; we moved on
Another day passed, and Marcus was finally discharged from the hospital. He had not yet told Nera about Nicole's affair with the mayor. He wanted to hold on to the wild card, waiting for them to be caught together in the physical act.He knew telling her would result in her going public with the news or confronting Nicole which would result in the affair ending up as allegations especially since the nudes of the two cheating idiots did not contain faces.When he arrived home, Nera was so excited to have him back in the house that the second they both walked into the bedroom, she quickly closed the door and began kissing him."Nera, what are you doing?" Marcus asked"I missed you," she replied, and she kept kissing him. Marcus quickly held her hands, stopping her. He had recovered but was tired and needed rest."Sorry, my princess not today; the doctor recommended that I get some rest," he replied disappointing her.Nera frowned, ever since she got pregnant her hormones were all over
Nicole arrived home like a thief, whose eyes were all over the place searching if anyone was watching her. From the switched-off lights, she could tell that everyone was asleep.She tiptoed inside, hoping to get a quick bath and get the stench of the mayor off of her body.She was about to get on the stairs when the lights turned on. Greg was standing on top of the stairs with a bottle of alcohol in his hands.He looked at his watch, then at her."I already informed you that I was running an errand," she replied, trying to get past him.Greg barricaded her and ordered her not to move."Get out of my way!" She yelled at him.Greg grabbed her by the arm and said, "You do not give me the respect that I deserve in this family!" He yelled.Nicole glared at him, irritated. She was tempted to slap him but contained herself."I will say this for the last time, get out of my way!" She warned him.Greg grabbed her by the collar and dared her to do her worst."Greg, let go of me!" She yelled at
Nera arrived home pissed, knocking over anything that was in her way. She did not mind Agness secretly taking the members to her restaurant to probably convince them to vote her out of the charity, but Patricia ignoring her calls was insulting.She threw herself onto the chair, breathing heavily. She knew she was not supposed to let the situation bother her, but doing the fundraiser for ungrateful old fools was looking like a waste of her precious time.She began wondering if it was worth it; maybe starting her own charity or foundation would be productive, she thought to herself. Marcus, who was already informed about the situation, came running downstairs."Princess, are you alright?" He hugged her. "The driver told me what happened," he added."Seriously, does that driver of yours always have to tell you everything?" she snapped, breaking the hug."Yes, that's why I trust him," Marcus smiled and grabbed his phone."Do not worry, no one is going to vote you out of that drowning cha
