Michael's POVThree days ago. I remembered asking the doctor what exactly was wrong with Etta. But seeing her collapsing on Clara's hand. Something is definitely wrong. “Excuse me–” “You are excused,” Jackson lashed. But that was the least of my problems. I raced down to the hospital where Marietta was admitted the other day she fainted. Soon I was able to meet with the doctor in charge of her the day she was rushed down. “Doctor, is there something I should know?” I questioned. “Nothing. She will be fine,” he shrugged. “Doc?” I reached out again. With my wrist clenched and my knuckles turning white. I asked again. “She has a tumor on the left side of her brain.” He confessed. I'm not someone to use force on people. But I didn't have a choice. “What do you mean she has a tumor?” I stuttered. I don't know how to explain to Marietta that I'm so sorry. That I want to be a part of her life. I know the pain she felt three years ago. I'm genuinely sorry. I just want to be–
Marietta’s POVAt first, we both stayed locked for a moment before I finally got back to my senses.I was about to slap him when Valerie’s voice stopped me.“Daddy,” she called excitedly.Shoving his hand off my waist, I took a step back.Just as I watched him rush towards Valerie. I stuck my ears to the door.I could hear flashes of the camera and murmurings.Just then, my phone rang. It was Bella.“Bella, what’s up?”“Have you checked your phone to see the news?” she inquired.“You know how much I hate the internet. What’s going on?” I questioned impatiently.Soon a message appeared on my phone, and I quickly rushed to check it out.THE WHITMORES ARE FINALLY BACK TOGETHER AFTER FOUR YEARS OF SEPARATION. “What’s going on girl? And what’s with the pictures?” Bella lashed out.“I’ll explain to you once I’m done,” I said.Hanging up, I made my way to the living room.“Valerie, I need you to go upstairs,”“Mommy, I want to play with Daddy,” she pleaded.“Now,” I added more pressure.Usin
Michael’s POVI’ve done all I could, but I still couldn’t win her heart.Yeah, she hates me so much. Yes, I’m a bad person and she’s right. “I need to clear my head,” I said.Running my hands through my hair, I raced down the wet street. It’s been long since I went to a bar. Ever since I stopped taking bodyguards with me. Life has been much easier.I’ve been able to escape the prying eyes of the reporters and there has been less talk of me on the internet these days.Except for the fact that I’m the youngest AI researcher in America right now.And also the fact that they thought Marietta and I were back together.I was midway back to my house when Gloria called me.“Yes,” “I think you might want to see this,” she said on the phone.“Send it to my phone,” I answered.“Can we meet up?” She requested.I’ve been avoiding Gloria all my life. She’s a beautiful woman like I said.But I can’t seem to get Marietta out of my head these days. I wanted her back. I can’t see myself with anot
Marietta’s POVBy the time my eyes were opened, I realized my hands were tied.Not only that but my eyes were blindfolded as well.“Hello!” “Is anybody there?!” I shouted. But before I could say one more word, I was met with a slap.For a minute, I could hardly hear any sound. I felt myself go deaf for a second before I heard the sound of a heel.“Where’s my daughter? Please don’t hurt her! She’s just four years old,” I pleaded.But I was met with another deafening slap. “And that is none of my fucking business!” A female voice replied aggressively.Wait a minute. I think I know that voice.It has been my greatest nightmare. One of those that made my life a living hell for years.I spat some blood out, before swallowing hard. “Katty,”“Is that you?” I asked, stuttering.Then came her mocking laughter. One that echoed in my head for many years.“I think someone finally came back to her right senses,” she snapped.“Take off the blindfold,” she commanded.Just as the blindfold was ta

Marietta’s POV Placing my hand on his chest to stop him from going further. I heard my daughter's voice echo from the staircase. “Mommy,” Valerie called repeatedly. I was yet to recover from the kiss and the whole emotional thing that just happened. “I'm sorry,” Albert stuttered and left in a haste. “Sunshine,” I said, running towards Valerie. Checking her out to see if she has a cut. “Are you okay?” I asked repeatedly. I hugged her tighter as I thank God for keeping her safe. I thought I was never going to see her again. “Mommy, I wanna go home,” Valerie cried. “I wanna see daddy,” she added with some tears rolling down her cheeks. “Mommy, I'm scared.” She continued. Wiping off the tears from her cheeks. I stared into her eyes. “Listen baby. We'll go home okay. I promise,” I said, pecking her forehead. Finally turning towards the guards. I summoned my courage. “Can I have my phone? I need to leave,” Just after demanding for my phone. I was met with silence as no one
Marietta’s POV “Boss,” one of the guards interrupted our moment. Albert has always been like this to me ever since I got here. He has a way of scaring me. I knew this wasn't my first time being in a man's hand. But with him, it is so different. Why does my heart race faster whenever we are in this position? With his left hand on my waist and his right hand on my wrist. I inhaled the same air with me. “Speak,” “I just got a call from the hospital that your mother is having a seizure,” The guards responded. “Don't just stand there and watch. Get the car ready, now!” Albert commanded. With his eyes still boring into mine. He hesitated for a minute. Whispering to my ears. “I'll be back,” Just after he left. I quickly made my way to Valerie's room and realized she was sleeping. Putting her on my back, I made my way downstairs. “Mommy, are we going home already?” Valerie asked. Just as I heard her voice, I knew she was awake already. “Mommy needs some quiet,” I whispered.
Marietta’s POV “Get behind me,” Albert commanded. I was about to leave when the door flung open. Quickly, Albert pulled me into his and covered me up with his towel. Jeez, I could feel his boner. But I knew better than to disgrace myself and not cooperate. I can't afford to see Jackson in this way. He might as well also conclude I'm a whore who slept with his brother. “Where are you keeping her?” Jackson shouted. The guards pulled his back so Albert could get out of the room. I reached out for the door and locked it from behind. Placing my ears on the door, I could hear their arguments. “Did you about it?” “About what, Jackson? You should have grown up by now,” I heard Albert lashed. “Grown up? Do you think you and father can trick me? What stunts are you pulling huh? Where are you keeping her?” he burst out. By her? Does he mean me? Is he truly a bad person like Albert had said? Why, then, did he approach me? So many unanswered questions lingered in my head as I sat
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
