Chapter 1455

Author: Cozy Season
"As I said, if I ever lie to you, my life is yours to take," Marion said sincerely.

His firm tone convinced Debra, making her wonder if Michael was mistaken.

"Why so serious? I was just joking," she said, pecking him on the cheek. "We've had a long day. Let's get some rest."

"Okay," Marion agreed.

In bed, he held her tightly.

Unable to sleep, she whispered, "It feels like we've never fought before."

Marion wasn't asleep either. He chuckled, "If that's your wish, we can pick a small thing to fight about."

"I don't want to fight," Debra said, turning over to face him. "If you're lying to me, keep on. Just don't let me find out that you don't love me."

"I love you," Marion said solemnly.

But his love was different from that of others. Debra was the person he loved most in this world, the one he wanted to devote his entire life to. There would never be another person as important to him as her.

Late into the night, Debra was fast asleep.

Marion pulled the blanket over her and qu

    "Just stay out of this," Marion said.Drake suddenly thought back to their childhood. In the slums, Marion was always the quiet one.There were many kids. Some swindled, some stole, and others fished for sympathy.Drake was the weakest of them all. Begging for food or money was his only option. The other kids bullied him and drove him to the worst place.Marion had been there with him. He had thought Marion was just another weakling. So, he kindly shared his bread with Marion, who didn't speak or eat it.The next day, a kind-hearted person gave him a gold coin, but when the other kids saw it, they beat him up and took it.At night, he hid in a haystack and cried alone.When Marion came back, he quickly wiped his tears. Marion tossed a gold coin in front of him and sat down in the corner.Different from other kids, Marion was always steady and composed.He still remembered Marion's first words to him. It was the third day they had been together.By then, he'd been ostracized a

    Marion realized what was going on. "His door got blown off by the wind," he stammered."The wind blew it off? And I'm supposed to pay for it?" Debra said in disbelief.She found Drake's message on her phone and showed it to him. "Drake says some lunatic showed up at his place last night and smashed his door. Oh, and he sent me a security cam video. Wanna take a look?"The footage was crystal clear, showing how Marion barged into Drake's house.Marion didn't even blink. "I was just testing the durability of his door.""Come on. I'm not blind," Debra huffed, standing up. "Let me guess. You were afraid that Drake would spill your secrets, so you went over there to shut him up.""No, I didn't." Marion fidgeted.Debra crossed her arms. "He didn't tell me anything, and you tore down his door. You're paying for it."She tossed the bill at him and headed upstairs.Marion glanced down at the invoice and then Kale, who was standing nearby.Kale nervously bowed his head. "I'm just fol

    "Mr. Lowe..." the driver started to explain.Drake cut him off with a kick. "This is trespassing. Do you have a death wish?""Mr. Lowe, this wasn't my idea. It was Mr. Houston..." the driver sobbed.He'd never driven a tractor before, and he just happened to be nearby.A moment later, Drake heard a car engine pulling up. He pushed past the driver and saw Marion stepping out of the car.Marion grabbed a sledgehammer from the trunk, and Drake's face darkened."Marion, stop!""Why? I'm here to fix your door. Saving you money. Isn't that great?"Marion headed straight to the door.Drake quickly pulled out his phone, warning, "You touch that door, and I'm calling Debra."He might not be able to handle Marion, but someone else could.Sure enough, Marion paused and turned around.Drake scoffed, "Got ya! Listen up. If you're gonna fix the door, do it right. Otherwise, I'll make Debra pay for it."Marion tossed the sledgehammer to the tractor driver. "You do it.""Me?" The guy poi

    "Come on. Don't you see that giant tractor? I'm blessed that he didn't tear down my house," Drake snorted.Debra leaned in and whispered, "I added an extra 20 thousand dollars to the card. Just stop fussing over it.""That's more like it," Drake muttered.Then he caught on and frowned. "Wait, do you think I lack money?""Well then, I'll take him back and give him a proper talking-to," she said, turning to the bodyguard. "Help Mr. Lowe clean his yard. Look at the dust."She grabbed Marion and led him to leave.Once they were outside, Debra yanked open the car door."Are you going in on your own, or do you want me to invite you in?""Let me hold the door for you.""Don't give me that. Why did you come here?""Just trying to scare him a bit.""With a tractor and a sledgehammer?""Knife." Marion lowered his head. "Are you mad?""Not exactly.""Are you upset?""Not really.""Then...""I just feel helpless."The whole thing was both funny and annoying.Using a knife to sca

    Debra looked sideways at Marion. "What's wrong? You seem kind of tense.""It's nothing." Marion kept his eyes on the road.After a long pause, he asked, "Is Robert going too?""Probably. He is Theda's bodyguard.""Then I'll go too."Debra put her phone down and raised an eyebrow."Why? You're not worried I'll find out about your embarrassing childhood stories from Robert, are you?""I don't have any embarrassing stories.""Right. You still haven't told me anything about your childhood. I only know you went overseas, worked for Shawn, and teamed up with Drake and Robert. What about before that?"Suddenly, Marion slammed on the brakes.Debra almost bumped her head, but luckily Marion was quick to reach out and stop her from hitting the dashboard.Her heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, she saw the worried expression on Marion's face."Are you all right?" He checked her forehead.Debra shook her head. "I'm fine. Just that stray cat darted out of nowhere at the wrong

    Early the next morning, Theda's car pulled up outside Debra and Marion's new home.Debra was dressed in a casual, comfortable outfit. As Theda rolled down her car window, she saw Marion following behind Debra."Didn't we agree it would just be the two of us? Why is Mr. Houston coming along?" she asked."I'll be her bodyguard today," Marion replied.Theda looked at the uniform he was wearing. "Yes, you are."Debra explained, "He has nothing else to do anyway. He can keep Robert company.""Really? But I heard the Houston Group still has a lot of work waiting for him. Doesn't he need to attend meetings for future decisions?" Theda asked.Debra looked at Marion, who didn't seem bothered. "Meetings can be held online."Afterward, he sat in the front passenger seat, while Debra and Theda sat in the back."Let's go to the place we planned earlier," Theda said."Sure," Robert replied, driving smoothly.Debra asked, "So, where are we going exactly?""Where else? Shopping halls for g

    "What about you, sir?" The attendant turned to Marion.He darted a cold look at her, and her following words died in her throat."Ladies, please follow me." The manager led Debra and Theda inside.Upstairs was a luxury presidential suite with a relaxing ambiance, a movie theater, and a top-notch design.Theda looked around, impressed. "This place must've cost tens of millions to build. The designers were probably brought in from the best. Mr. Lowe knows how to run a business.""This place is amazing," the manager smiled. "The therapist will be right in. Please make yourselves comfortable."Debra and Theda sat down in the massage chairs. Not long after, there was a knock on the door."Come in," Theda said.Six young, handsome guys in white shirts walked into the room. Debra's smile froze on her face."Dear guests, we're the therapists assigned to your session today," one of them said.Theda whispered to Debra, "Is this the special service Drake was talking about?"Debra rarel

    Getting no response, Theda opened her eyes, only to see Robert standing right next to her.She cringed, suddenly feeling like she'd been caught doing something she wasn't supposed to."What's wrong? Why did you stop talking?" Debra asked, puzzled by her sudden silence.A familiar voice came. "Mrs. Houston, feeling good?"Debra's eyes flew open. She turned her head and saw Marion standing behind her, pressing into her shoulders."Marion...""Does it feel good?"Debra darted a glance at Theda, who quickly bowed her head.Debra forced a smile. "We're just doing market research."Marion raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what did you find out?"Debra hesitated and looked at Theda again.Theda took the cue. "Oh, we found out a lot. For example, services like this attract female customers. I mean, who doesn't like a handsome guy? Money can buy joy."Both men's faces fell.To smooth things over, Debra said, "Of course, we don't think it's much fun. We were on edge the whole time.""Yea

    Debra's eyes narrowed at this guy she'd never heard of.Michael had kept it under wraps, proving he had never fully trusted her."Mrs. Houston," Jason said, "I'm here for Mr. Austin to negotiate. He called this shareholder vote in the name of the biggest stakeholder. He's got the right to kick it off. Any objections?"Debra plopped into the head chair. "Cut the polite crap. Everyone's here. Objections or not, this vote's happening, right? No way it's that simple.""Mrs. Houston," Jason said coolly, "today's vote's straightforward: who's better suited as the McKinney Group CEO, you or Mr. Austin? Everyone here sees what you both bring. In the past two years, you've barely shown up. Mr. Austin ran the show, held a key role, and raked in profits. He's the clear pick for CEO.""So, you're saying I suck as the boss?" Debra shot back.Michael didn't even show, sending this random assistant instead. That already pissed her off.Now this guy's veiled jabs annoyed her even more."I'm ju

    Debra's heart sank.Back when she'd teamed up with Michael, she had nothing, offering him Frazier Entertainment shares to seal the deal. Later, Frazier Entertainment merged into the McKinney Group, and she handed it off to him.To keep her identity hidden, she'd tossed him more shares. With Frazier Entertainment, he'd racked up 30%.She'd thought he deserved it. For two years, he'd run the show plenty. She'd never seen this coming."Madam, you there?" Ben's voice shook.This was huge and should stay quiet. Otherwise, the company would fall into chaos.Debra's blood ran cold. She hadn't expected Michael to go so far."I'll be there soon," she said, hanging up.She turned to Marion. "Michael scooped up loose shares. He's gunning for a vote as top shareholder."Over 40% wasn't half, but it made him the biggest player. Calling a vote was his right.Debra only had 40%. If 10% of the rest sided with Michael, he could oust her."Don't sweat it," Marion said. "We'll hit it together.

    That shut everyone up.If Jordan was right, Drake was gambling with his neck."That's too risky. I've gotta drag him back." Debra spun to leave.Erica grabbed her. "Jordan's guys are on it. They'll ping us if they find him. You can't go out like this and become their target.""I'm not their focus anymore," Debra said. "They'll zero in on Drake."She looked at Marion. "Get your people searching. We need his trail fast, or he's dead."Once the Illuminati squeezed the stone's location out of Drake, they'd kill him.Orkgate was now controlled by Lara. Drake had no other value for them."On it," Marion said.They split up. Erica and Randy tapped their networks."Debra, don't freak," Jordan said. "Drake is not dumb. Injured like that, he couldn't have gone far. As long as he keeps that secret, they won't kill him."Debra nodded. "Hope he doesn't do anything stupid."She should've seen it coming. A proud guy like Drake couldn't handle being down for so long.His injuries were bru

    Outside their room, Drake froze mid-knock.His head was down, and his expression was hidden. Eventually, his hand dropped, and he sighed.He turned around and shuffled downstairs, leaning on the wall. He was a broken mess now, unwilling to drag them down....Debra woke up the next morning, reaching for Marion.He wasn't there. She bolted upright, threw off the covers, and ran barefoot downstairs, shouting, "Marion?"In the hall, Marion and Jordan turned as she stumbled in, still in her pajamas.Marion rushed up, slipping off his slippers for her. "What's with the panic?""I didn't see you." She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thought you'd...""Any luck?" Jordan asked Kale, who'd just walked in.Kale shook his head. "Not yet.""What's up?" Debra asked, clocking everyone's grim faces."Drake's gone," Marion said. "No note, nothing. We're looking.""Did the cameras catch anything? Could it be the Illuminati...""Not them. He walked out himself.""Why the hell would he just up a

    Debra jolted awake from a nightmare, her forehead slick with sweat."Still torn up about Michael?" Marion's voice came from beside her.She settled into his arms, finally feeling a little relieved. These past two months, they'd faced everything alone. She hadn't curled up with him like this in forever."It's my fault," she whispered. "If I hadn't trusted Michael so much, the Eaton family wouldn't have been a mess. Mr. Eaton Sr. wouldn't have been in the hospital.""It's your fault," Marion said, patting her back. "Even without your trust, the Illuminati would've found a way in. That was their goal.""I just can't wrap my head around why Michael's one of them," she said.She'd spent all night recalling the past, from meeting Michael to building the McKinney Group with him. He was key to its success, but everything had been a lie."Maybe he was never with us," Marion said. "The Illuminati's everywhere. Didn't you check his background when you teamed up?""I..." Debra faltered.S

    "We're all in it for ourselves." Michael shrugged. "Jeffery did his part for the Illuminati, so I'll cut you some slack.He pushed the teacup to Juan. "But I don't buy it that you're all-in. Following in Jeffery's footsteps sounds nice, but you killed him, which shows your ruthless nature. We need people like you. I don't care if you're Debra's mole or chasing your angle. Save your energy. It's pointless. Just do your job and back us up. I won't say a word about it.""Should I thank you for it?" Juan scoffed.He'd thought Michael was forced into it, but now he saw how naïve that was.Though young, Michael was already a core member, suggesting his connection to the Illuminati dates back a long time.Only intelligent and influential ones could enter the core circle. That meant he hadn't defected midway.Michael sat down across from him. "Don't look at me like that. We're not the same, and you know it.""When'd you turn on Debra?" Juan asked."Doesn't matter," Michael said, smilin

    It was true they were both members of the Illuminati, but Fermin never signed up to be a lapdog.Back then, he'd teamed up with them for mutual gain. But the Illuminati wanted more than a partnership. They wanted the Eaton family on a leash.When Fermin didn't bite, Michael added, "I saw Miss Eaton crying her eyes out. We go way back. Should I cheer her..."Before he could finish, Fermin's knife flashed to his throat, nicking him. Blood trickled, but it was just a scratch."Stay away from her," Fermin growled. "Touch her, and I'll end you.""I'm just being nice here," Michael chuckled. "But if you're not cool with it, I'll drop it. But those terms? Think twice. We only help our own. If you keep playing your own game, that heart goes elsewhere. And trust me, you won't find another match."Fermin hated to admit it, but Michael was speaking the truth. Without the Illuminati's help, he couldn't find a match for Bert's heart.He lowered the knife. "Fine, it's a deal. Get your people

    She only had Fermin and Bert left in this world.She had no mom and no real friends. She couldn't lose Bert or watch Fermin turn into this.She didn't want Debra's crew hurt either.Fermin pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. Dad will be fine. I'll make sure of it."His promise unleashed her tears. The hospital hallway echoed with her cries.Once she calmed down, Fermin had someone take her away.A guard stepped up. "Mr. Eaton, our master is waiting ahead.""You've tailed me this whole way," Fermin said coldly. "Gonna keep it up? I don't like shadows."The guards stayed silent, just following orders. If their boss said stick to Fermin, they'd die before leaving his side."Loyal dogs to your master," Fermin scoffed, brushing past them.He walked into an empty ward. A tall figure in a white shirt stood by the window."You've really opened my eyes," he said, surprised."I'm flattered, Mr. Eaton," Michael said, turning around.His crisp white shirt had dried bloodstains.

    Liza rushed to the ICU upon receiving the news.A bodyguard stopped her. "Mr. Eaton said no one gets near the room and disturbs the patient's rest."Liza smacked him, and he bowed his head.Her eyes were red, her vibe darker than ever. "That's my dad in there. Why can't I go in? Move!""Mr. Eaton forbids it. Please, don't make things hard for us," the bodyguard said, stuck.No one there dared to defy her. They all knew how much Fermin doted on her."I don't care," she snapped. "Step aside, or I'll have my brother skin you alive. Let's see if you still block me."Her threat chilled him. She might be bluffing, but Fermin wouldn't."What's the ruckus?" Fermin's voice cut through."Mr. Eaton." The bodyguard bowed his head."Didn't I tell you no one gets near?" Fermin's tone dripped danger.Coming with him was a group of elite guards. The bodyguard was daunted by their aura.Liza stepped forward. "Dad is in a bad condition. Why wouldn't you let me see him?
