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.

    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.

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

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.

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

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 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
