Marietta’s POV

I was in a meeting when Clara badged in. “Ma’am,”

“I’m in a meeting. Anything else can wait,” I whispered.

“I’m not sure this can wait,” Clara stepped in.

Handing my phone over to me.

BILLIONAIRE’S DAUGHTER, VALERIE WHITMORE GOT SHOT AT HER SCHOOL PLAYGROUND

“Please, can we reschedule this meeting?” I asked the board.

“Sure,” Mr. Lucian answered.

Making my way out of the company in tears, I aimed towards Valerie’s school.

“Ma’am,” Clara handed my phone over to me.

“Michael, where is my daughter?!” I charged in anger.

“She’s here with me in the hospital. I will text you the address,” he replied.

Soon, a notification popped on my iPhone.

In under a few minutes, my car pulled over at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Just like I presumed, the reporters were already at the hospital entrance.

Right now, I wasn’t ready for any questions.

“Is there any other entrance to the hospital?” I turned towards Clara.

“No. This is the only one,” Clara answered.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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'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?

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
