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 THREE YEARS AGO “I honestly thought you'd be a fit,” Mr. Felix replied. “I can try, please.” I pleaded. I knew I couldn't just go back home. I have myself and my baby to take care of. “You can stay here and watch the others act.” Mr. Felix replied. “You have the grace of just one month to do that. If you do not improve after that,” he took a pause. “I have no choice but to throw you out,” he concluded. “I'll try my best,” I responded in between my tears. “And Ms. Etta,” he called.“Yes, sir,” “For the main time that you'll be here. Can you clean after the actors and actresses once they are done on the stage?” He proposed. “And yes, you'd be paid a sum of five hundred dollars every day.” He added. “Consider it from my kind heart. I don't normally do this,” Mr. Felix stared at me.“Yes. Yes, I'll gladly take the job,” I responded happily. At least he didn't ask me to do that for free. Things went on well for days, not until I saw my greatest fear walk right
Marietta’s POV “You all must be out of your fucking minds!” Raymond said. “Do you know who you are dealing with?” “I'm sorry, but who are you?” Elsie, who has been quiet all this while, suddenly burst out. With Mr. Lucian holding the police on, everyone stared at Elsie in awe. “Ain't you just an ordinary employee?” Raymond turned to face Elsie in anger. “Didn't you say he is part of those Mr. Felix sent down from Paris to America for the movie shoot?” Raymond asked in surprise. “Yes,” Lucian answered.“Apparently my brother here has partnered with fools and Lunatics,” Lucian said. With Elsie fixing a cold icy stare at Lucian. I can see he has lost his patience too. “Who the hell ordered my arrest, huh?” Raymond asked. His eyes bulging out of their sockets.FIFTEEN YEARS AGO “C’mon Etta. Stop crushing on Michael already. He doesn't even love you,” Raymond said playfully on the school field.“I don't care, Raymond,” I shot back. “Are you aware he's the captain of the volleybal
Michael’s POVI couldn’t get my mind off the kiss I had shared with Donovan yesterday. It has been wet, hot, sweet, yet brief. And it has been fickle with my heart, but it has also messed with my brain, leaving me helpless.“Donovan,” I spoke his name out loud, as I watched the door open almost immediately.“Can I come in?” Donovan asked, his eyes settling on the bottle of alcohol I had set in front of me.Well, speak of the devil and he shall appear.“Yes, what did you find out about Katty and Gloria?” I asked impatiently.As much as I tried to take my mind off Marietta, I couldn’t. My thoughts have been divided ever since I shared that kiss with Donovan.Who am I? I can’t possibly be drawn to a man like myself. I need to visit a therapist. It seems I might not be able to handle this myself.“Marietta has been abducted,” Donovan replied with his head bowed.I jumped out of my seat with my fist clenched and my eyes fixed on Donovan.I moved closer to him to be sure I heard him corre
Marietta’s POV“You came for me?” I said with more tears rolling down my cheeks.“Boss, she has escaped,” one of his guards reported with a bow.“Find her and bring her to me,” He shrieked.“Yes, boss,” Adien commanded.Losing me from the chains that had held me bound, I collapsed into his arms and blacked out immediately. *********I had woken up to the smell of vanilla and luxury. Not just that, the cool air on my skin also confirmed that I was now in a better place.My vision was blurry at first, but later cleared upon feeling a touch on my skin.“Aiden, what are you–”I was stopped with his lips on mine, each accompanied by his tongue.It lasted for a while before we finally broke off panting heavily. His eyes scrutinized mine, as he placed his forehead on mine, his breath fanning my face.“Etta?” Bella called before halting in her tracks. “Am I interrupting something?” “I’ll just leave,” Aiden whispered and left quickly, letting me know that he would be back very soon.“Bella,
Marietta’s POV“Aiden,” I grabbed his shirt tighter, my breath fanning his bare neck.“I love it when you call my name,” He smirked before letting go of me.I could swear I was already getting wet beneath. I could feel my natural lubricant beneath me. I didn’t want him to stop, but I don’t want to continue either. “I’m sorry,” he said, panting heavily.I could tell he had to control himself from taking me right now. I could see that through his heavy breath and his red ears.“The maids will attend to you,” he said, taking a few steps back. “But Aiden…” I cleared my throat as he turned towards me. “What? Do you want to tell me something, Pookie?” “No,” I waved my hand and looked away from him. I don’t know if it’s just me but he looks damn hot, that I just couldn’t resist him whenever he’s close.Just then, a knock landed on the door, interrupting my thoughts.“Who is it?” I inquired, wrapping my clothes around me quickly.The master asked us to attend to you,” the maids chorused

Marietta’s POVEveryone’s jaw dropped as I held the girl’s hand, stopping her from retaliating.“Are you being serious right now?” I scoffed as I watched tears roll down her cheeks.“What’s going on here?” Aiden appeared behind almost immediately.The elevator door closed, and everyone explained what had happened between me and the girl to Aiden. All through the whole explanation, Aiden had said nothing, but his eyes only lingered on mine. As if waiting for me to defend myself.“They are lying,” I replied.I clenched my fist, my eyes darting from one person to another. I could see through them, they wanted me gone. “You are fired,” Aiden’s voice echoed through the hallway, sending shivers down my spine.I trembled in fear as I tried to make up some words, but I couldn’t.Where was I supposed to start from? Is he really going to believe his staff over me?Does he even love me at all?His eyes bored into mine as he looked away and motioned past me. Stopping in front of the lady I had
Marietta’s POV“I’m sorry for leading you on,” I replied, my face filled with regret.That night, I never intended to sleep with him, but I was drunk. I wanted to get Michael and everything out of my mind.I still couldn’t accept the fact that my daughter was dead, as at then that I started to regain my memories. All I wanted was to escape from my reality, and now I didn’t know I had dragged Aiden along with my shitty life.“What am I supposed to do with you?” I asked, but Aiden cut in abruptly.“Don’t leave me,” was all he could come up with as he reached for my hand, his eyes desperately boring into mine.“Do everything you want with me, but don’t leave me, Marietta.” he shook his head, rubbing his hand against mine.“But-” “No buts, please. Stay with me,” he pleaded with tears welling up in his eyes. “Can you just trust me this once. I’m not Michael.” He repeated, pulling me closer. “What can I do to prove that wrong, Etta?”“We are going to have a lot of people talking about us

Michael’s POV“Make findings about that young man,” I commanded Donovan before losing my tie angrily.“Yes, boss.”I stared at my angry self in the mirror and smashed it into pieces, causing blood to drip out of it.“You are bleeding,” Donovan said, looking behind. “Leave!” I shouted, clenching my fist in anger. Pity wasn’t what I wanted right now. All I wanted was to win back her heart. To defeat our enemies and make them bow at our feet. To make Gloria and Katty pay for what they have done. And finally, to be with the woman I love. “She doesn’t love me anymore,”“You never can tell,” Donovan cuts in, his eyes boring into mine.“What do you know?” I lashed out, scattering the books in my study room.I watched each paper drop to the ground as Donovan quickly picked them up.“You need to calm down, Michael!” He yelled, holding me firm, his eyes boring into mine.“I can’t come down! Don’t you get it!” I shouted “Michael I–” Donovan heaved a sigh, his grip on my shoulders started to
Marietta’s POVSlowly motioning towards us, I turned to face Bella, who nodded her head in approval.“I’ll sort this out,” I said.As I watched Bella take Aiden inside, I heaved a sigh. I blinked back my tears multiple times.“I know what you did, Michael,” I started.I stared at him, but he seemed to be staring at the door. The entrance where Bella and Aiden had passed a few minutes ago.“Is there something you have to say to me, Michael Whitmore?” I said beneath my breath.I swallowed hard, my eyes leaving his at every point in time. I cannot believe how far I have come just because of the love I had for this man who never, for once, loved me back.But now, he wanted me back all of a sudden. “You are not safe here, Marietta.”“Why?” I questioned anxiously.“Is that why you’ve come?” I asked, staring at him.“Y–I mean no. Marietta,” he came at me, trying to hold me by the hand. “Listen to me–”“No, you listen to me!” I yanked my hands off him, trying to keep my voice down.“Look aro
