Can she start over, or will her past keep dragging her down?
View MoreMichael’s POV Getting betrayed by someone whom I see as a brother.And seeing the woman I love taking over the company, I thought it was mine from the start. I regretted all my actions. Everyone whom I worked with wants nothing to do with me. They all blamed me for acting inhumanely. “I'm sorry, Etta,” I said, chugging in a bottle of whiskey. My Granny wasn't getting any better. And Lucian? I found out after a year that he wasn't even my brother. He has never been. “You are on your own, Michael. Fix your shit!” Those were the last words he said to me. And Katty? She is married to Alex now. Not just that, my brother had only married her so she could help him get the company. And now that Granny had spelled it out, that the company doesn't belong to any of us. It was easier for him to betray us more. “I'm afraid Mr. Whitmore.” The doctor heaved a sigh.“Is my grandma okay?” I grabbed him by the hand. “She's fine.” He said. “At least for now,” I let out a shaky breath

I stuttered."And I would love it very much if you can have your seat," I added.I tried to push my chair backward, but Jackson's grip on it was too strong.Right now, I'm so scared and I swear my heart could fail anytime from now.The rate at which it was beating were way too fast. The last time I felt this way was three years ago. Those times when I waited so hard for Michael to acknowledge my feelings.Days when I wish he could reciprocate my feelings.

But that is when we are having sex.Once that part is over, Michael tosses me away like I was some sort of thrash.It took a long time for me to know he was in love with Katty.

Marietta’s POV A drop of tears escaped my eyes as I saw Michael standing behind Jackson. “What the hell are you doing here?” I fumed. “Can we talk, please?” He pleaded. I could sense some tension in his voice. I've known Michael for many years. And never for once have I seen him this way. Yeah, of course. Only the day I threatened to breach the contract with him. I can see how lost and weak he was. I can see how confused he was. Yes. It feels good to see him finally having a taste of his medicine. “Mommy,” Valerie’s voice resonated from behind. “Bella…” I turned to my best friend. “I've got this,” Clara volunteered. I tried to hold back the tears that had been pricking my eyes before shutting them close. How am I supposed to accept Jackson when he only lied to me from the beginning. And Michael who only wanted me back just because of the company. “The both of you need to leave this minute,” I snapped. “Marietta, please listen to me. I know I lied to you…” “Enough! I
Michael's POVMichael, who was already losing his temper, suddenly scoffed in disbelief."When do you plan on telling us?" Lucian asked in a low growl.Everyone went silent as the flashes on camera were the only thing that echoed through the company's hallways."Granny I'm asking you a question!" Lucian rushed towards Granny angrily.Michael, who has been quiet all this while, flinched."You won't speak to her in that manner!" He reprimanded.Just as the banters were on, Granny held her chest."And what do you know?" Lucian fired back. I knew standing here to speak ill of Lucian would not speak well of our family. Not just that. Granny must have also lied just so she could save the family's business from crumbling.“Get granny back to the hospital, right away!” I ordered.Right now, I need to make sure she’s in perfect condition.I need to win Marietta’s heart as well. I know I’ve hurt her. And now that the son of the next president is involved with her, I need to act fast.“She’s n
Marietta's POV "Etta, wait!" Jackson called after me. But I wouldn't dare to wait.Sliding into my car backseat, I ordered the driver to move."Take me home," I ordered. The reporters all ran after my car, asking different questions. But I was done. I was done with everyone. Jackson, Michael, Granny Lorette. Every fucking person!Suddenly my phone rang, jolting me out of my thoughts."Etta, where are you?" Bella called."Bella, I-""Shh. It's okay. I couldn't leave." She started."I heard everything that happened. And I figured out that you and Valerie would need me," she explained."Valerie! I totally forgot her teacher called me to-""Don't worry about her. She's safe here with me," Bella answered."Where are you heading to right now?" Bella questioned."Home, Bella. I don't know where else to go." I answered in tears."Have you seen the news?" Bella asked."No, why?" I wiped off my tears."You can't go home right now. The reporters are waiting for you," Bella chimed."Reporters?
Marietta’s POV Why would Sterling Jackson pretend to be with someone like me?“Arrest this man right now!” He commanded. “Don't touch me!” Raymond shouted.And as he struggled with the policemen, he wouldn't stop shouting. “Do you know who my father is?!” “That's all you will ever remain!” Jackson spat. “Daddy's boy.” “Let's see if your so-called daddy will be able to save you from this,” Jackson smirked. “We are really sorry for the delay sir,” the guard bowed. “And where's the document I asked you to bring along?” Jackson stretched his hand forward. I still can't believe what's going on. “Did I just make out with Sterling Jackson?” I whispered in total confusion.“You lied to me,” I hit him on the chest. “I'm sorry, Etta. But we can talk about it right after I'm done with these fools!” He pleaded. “I'm breaching every contract you signed with our companies,” Jackson started. “Brother, have you gone insane?!” I watched Michael tremble in fear. “It is you who caused all t
Marietta's POVAs my sister, Katty, tumbled down from the golden stairs.I screamed in shock.I stretched my hand to reach her and quickly followed right through. “Katty! Somebody please, help me! Anybody!” I shouted in fear.My hands trembled as tears flowed down my cheeks. “Security!” My voice drew the attention of today's guests. Soon today’s guests started to gather around me. I could see most of them shaking their head in shock while raining insults on me. “Jeez. You are so wicked. You stole Katty’s man and yet you’re trying to kill her baby?”“I think she wants her sister dead. More tears streaming down my cheeks. “Owww…my baby… save my baby please,” Katty winced, tears rolling down her cheeks, while she yanked my hands off. “Don't touch me you murderer! She wants to kill me!” Katty screamed.She attracted more people who had come to grace the party thrown by my husband’s family.My husband, Michael, is from a wealthy family, one of the richest in America.
