Michael's POV "But what doctor?" I dragged him by the cloth. It was one thing that Etta already hated me, and now she is about to lose her child. “Doctor! She’s awake,” one of the nurses screamed from behind. Quickly, the doctor left. Assuring us that Valerie will be fine. “Get the hell out of here, Michael.” Marietta charged. “I don't need any of you here!” She snapped. Pointing her fingers at me and Granny. “I'm sorry–” “Leave, Michael!” She spat. “From now on, it's strictly business and nothing more.” These were her last words to me. “Granny, I think we should leave,” I supported my grandmother. “I cannot Michael. I want to see my great-grandchild.” My Granny fussed. “Then you could have done better,” Etta glared. With her fist clenched, she moved closer to the both of us. “You sent me packing when I needed you,” she retorted with cruel indifference. “None of you believed me.” She protested hotly. “I can't even believe I allowed you to touch Valerie.” sh
Marietta’s POV Just after Michael left, I felt a bit at ease. “Are you okay?” Elsie held me tight. Shrugging his hands off. I nodded. “I'm fine,” “Do you need me to get you anything?” He wiped my face gently. “Nothing. I'm okay,” I sighed. “About earlier. I didn't mean to. It just slipped out,” I stuttered. “You mean the fiance part?” He smiled. “It's quite understandable.” He replied. “You should have a seat,” I beckoned Elsie. I could see his reluctance, but he just couldn't say no to me. “I'm sorry if I did too much earlier.” Elsie started. “No,” I replied. “Don't apologize,” I said with a soft smile. “People like Michael really deserve to be kicked in the ass,” I bit my lip shyly. And as we waited for the doctor, I started to feel sleepy. “Do you want to lean on my shoulder?” Elsie asked. “No, I'm fine.” I quickly adjusted myself. “Marietta,” he called. My heart skipped a bit as I avoided Elsie’s eyes. His finger lifted my face to his, as I

Marietta’s POV The beeping machine kept on going. Almost on the thin line, I didn't know when I screamed. “Doctor!” I ran out of her ward. “Etta, you have to calm down,” Elsie held me tighter. “My baby can't remember me again,” I burst into tears. As I watched the doctor inject her to sleep. I wiped off my tears. “Doctor, is my baby going to be fine?” I stuttered amidst my tears. “Yes. She just feels threatened,” the doctor replied. “Threatened? I'm not a stranger doctor,” I cried out. “Yes. You are not. But for her to regain her memories, you need to take it slowly,” the doctor explained. “Slowly? I worked for three good years before I got here, doctor,” tears flowed down my cheeks. “Everything I did for the last three years. I did it for her. For us.” I burst into more tears. “Ms. Etta. I promise this situation is not going to last for long.” The doctor consoled me. I felt Elsie's hand on my shoulder. Pulling me into his embrace. I wept bitterly. “Right now, you can t
Marietta’s POV A few days have passed, and I could barely hold my feelings. “You still love him, don't you?” Bella asked. “I don't know, Bella.” I winced. “I'm so confused,” “I thought you wanted to have your revenge on him?” Bella started. “I know. But, Valerie is not even making this whole thing easy you know?” I cried. Running my hands through my hair. “Elsie–” “Please, Bella. I don't want to talk about him,” I cut her off abruptly.“Why?” Bella questioned further. “Because–just because,” I paused. “You are in love with him too?” Bella scoffed. “No way on earth I'm going to believe this?” Bella screamed. “You are in love with both of them?!” “Bella, I know this is stupid–” “It is stupid, Etta!” Bella yelled. “It's fine,” I replied. Suddenly, the door flung open, revealing Valerie. “I thought she was sleeping all along,” I whispered. “Come, baby,” Bella beckoned to her. At least, she now recognizes me as her mom. One that Michael was able to do for me. FLASHBACK T
Michael’s POV “Get.your.hands.off.my.woman!” Elsie raged. Rushing towards me in anger, Marietta stopped him. “Elsie. You need to stop,” I watched her place her hand on his chest. “He's not worth it,” she heaved a sigh. Turning to face me. She seethed “Leave Micheal. I don't want you back here anymore,” “A chance is all I need Etta.” I tried to get closer to her, but Elsie wouldn't allow it. “You have just three seconds to leave here.” He yelled. “You need to leave, Michael.” Etta spat angrily. Since it was obvious that no one wanted me here. I made my way out. “But can I always come to see Val–” my words were interrupted by Marietta slamming the door in my face. “Yeah right,” I shrugged. Just as I got back to where my car was parked, I could hear Alex whispering to someone on the phone. “Alex,” I called. “Boss,” he stuttered. “What's going on?” I questioned impatiently. “Nothing.” He quickly answered. I was about to ask another question when my phone rang. “What?!” Al
Marietta’s POV Just after Michael left, I broke down in tears. “Elsie, please can you leave?” I spoke between my tears. “Do you love him?” Were the words that followed. “Can we not do this right now?” I spat angrily. Turning my back to leave, he pulled me into his embrace. His breath fanned my neck, as his hand circled around my slim waist. “Do I really not mean anything to you?” He paused. Flipping me to face him, he tilted my face. “Tell me you don't feel anything for me–” he paused with his eyes closed. Bringing me much closer, his gaze settled on my lips. My cheeks burned red hot, and I swear I could feel the veins on my head pulsating. “Elsie I–” “Etta?” Bella's voice interrupted the moment leaving me perplexed. “I'm sorry if I interrupted you guys. I will just go,” “Bella, stay!” I shouted. I wasn't ready for all of this. And I want to escape from Elsie so badly. How can two men have this kind of hold on me? This wasn't the revenge I planned. Turning to face E
Michael's POVIt finally dawned on me that Katty and Alex were the issues I was having. “How did you–” “Get all these?” Jace interrupted. “Yes,” I stared in shock. “Let’s just say I have my ways,” Jace answered. “How could Alex betray me like this? What the hell have I ever done to him to deserve this?” I muttered. “Right now, there's no evidence that Katty is guilty of this whole thing,” Jace replied.“I need to be in a meeting right now.” I stood up quickly. “Find out more about Katty,” I commanded. Just as I was about to step out, a message flashed across my phone. It was no one but Alex. “I'm sorry but I'm quitting my job,” Quickly, I put a call through. “Alex, I need you to meet me at my office right now,” “I'm sorry Mr. Whitmore. But I quit,” Alex repeated over the phone. “Alex, if something is bothering you-” I was not done talking when Alex hung up. “Hello,” I called but no voice came back. Swerving my car towards the left, I raced down to my company. And as I
Marietta’s POV I feel so lost and confused. Blinded by revenge, and sorry for the past. Could this be a way of making up for the past? Or a way of getting my revenge on everyone who has hurt me in one way or the other? Maybe I was just doing too much. “I'm sorry,” “No. Don't be sorry.” Michael reached out to me. “I abandoned you. No, I abandoned you and Valerie,” Michael broke down in tears. “I wasn't thinking,” Michael grabbed my hand. “I made you lose your baby. Our daughter. And, I'm sorry about it,” I bursted into tears. I've never seen Michael this sober. Those days he came to me were the saddest time of my life. I had lots of work on my desk. I was mad at him for abandoning us. And right now, things are getting so messy. Now that we are in this situation, are we just going to abandon this mission? “What do we do?” I asked, wiping off my tears. “We can just tell them we are not interested anymore,” Michael suggested.“They don't look like they are going to let us
Michael's POV A MONTH AGO We were about to make love when Etta suddenly winced in pain. “The headache. I can't take it anymore,” she screamed. Lifting her off the ground, I called out to the guards. “Get the doctor ready. Now!” I commanded. Getting into the car, we aimed towards the hospital. Etta, on the other hand,, has blacked out. And her body was already getting cold. “Can you go faster than this?” I yelled at the driver. “Yes, boss,” With the driver going at a higher speed, we could hear the police calling out to us. I've vowed to stay quiet and bring my enemies under my feet in the secret. But I cannot. I need to save her. “Marietta stay with me,” I cried out. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I hugged her tighter. “I've lost our daughter. I can't lose you too. Please!” I shouted. Soon, the driver pulled over and I quickly dashed out of the car into the hospital. Everyone will passed through couldn't believe it. I could hear murmurings and muttered behind but th
