Marcel’s P.O.VI watched as Mae’s lips wobbled and her fingers trembled with the glass cup of juice. Her eyes closed briefly and a forced laughter rippled from her mouth. “What do you mean? I am not the one with the memory loss though. Why should I take it?”I fixed her a stern gaze. “Since it is about this, then give me the pills while you take the the juice”Mae stuttered out. “But it isn’t for me. I can make another one for myself. You should drink it first”“Now!” I commanded with this hoarse tone that made her bob her head. I watched the movement her throat made, watching as she swallowed hard while I took a step forward, collecting the pills from her. “Now drink the juice, I mean everything”Apart from me not being able to remember even a fragment of my memories. Something weird has been happening to me. Anytime Mae offers me her juice, i tend to sleep for hours and anytime I wake up, I wake up feeling empty, weak and drained. She forced out a smile, clutching the cup with bot
Darius’s P.O.VMy mind was in unrest, Ammar told me that he hadn't heard from Layzal. Ezra was still missing and my search for him and Layzal proved abortive. I wasn't that bothered about Ezra but Layzal scared me. If he ever makes a comeback then it is going to be bloody. On the other hand, was Mae. I hated to admit it but she was starting to get on my nerves and I was beginning to run out of patience for her because no matter how much I tried, I could never wrap my head around how someone could be so dense, foolish, and just dumb! I placed a lot of power in her hands for her to take advantage of Marcel’s memory loss but she couldn't handle such a simple task.Ever since I had caught Marcel and Elodie kissing in the parking lot, I had been tormented since that day. I had sleepless nights. I was thinking that Mae was going to wreak havoc with that video but that stupid girl embarrassed herself further at her Q&A session. However, all of that didn't matter right now. What mattere
Marcel’s P.O.VMae leaned against the doorframe, beaming with a smile while she swirled a lock of hair around her finger. “Marcel, have you taken your pills? Did the housekeeper bring it on time, I wasn’t able to bring it personally since I was busy”Taking my eyes off her face while fixing it back on the file that I attended to, I nodded. “Yeah, she brought it on time. I used it already, thank you”“I am certain that with constant use, all these nightmares and confusion will come to an end just like you had always wanted”Adjusting my glasses, I raised my head, a small smile playing on my lips. “I know but can you please excuse me? I am pretty busy sorting this out, you see?”Mae pouted, bobbing her head slowly. “I can stay if you want”With a smile on my face, I responded. “I just said that you could leave, didn’t I?”Mae swallowed before she laughed awkwardly. “I was just pulling your legs. I have a media live session with my few fans, I am also busy”“Then go and do what must be d
Mae’s P.O.VMy knees buckled and I almost crumbled to the ground as my hands flew over my mouth and my heart sank into my stomach. The tears that threatened to fall as I eavesdropped on Marcel’s conversation with Robert, streamed down my face.I retracted my step, dread settling at the pit of my stomach while I quickly wiped off my tears as soon as a maid walked by, lowering her head in reverence for me. I swallowed hard as different thoughts coursed through my mind. Was he suspicious of me and was that why he asked for the information of the past workers in the house? Was there a high chance that he was starting to recover his memories?No! If he did, then I was going to know and he constantly used his medications so that wasn't possible. But what if he finds out the truth because of his growing suspicion of me? Swallowing the heavy lump that formed in my throat, I ran down the hallway, rushing down the stairs with tears cascading down my cheeks. I needed to do something. There
Elodie’s P.O.VI rolled my eyes to the back, walking behind Marcel who seemed kind of worried for Mae. I was so sure that this was one of her petty tricks and she did this just to gain his attention.My only relief was that he was starting to see through her for who she was but at the same time, it was saddening to see him still giving her any attention. Mae knew how to toil with him. As we walked down the hallway, I soon caught sight of Axel standing in front of a door. He was talking with a nurse and when Marcel called out to him, he left the nurse’s side, running towards Marcel. Standing before Marcel, he exhaled sharply and the next thing was that he wrapped his hands around Marcel, nuzzling his chin on his shoulder while he squeezed his eyes shut. Axel muttered . “If I wasn’t there, she could have died in the fire. She just lost consciousness due to the smoke but the doctor said she is fine”“Seeing her in that situation, I was reminded about our parents. I don’t want to lose
Elodie’s P.O.V I replayed the conversation between Mae and Axel in the courtyard to Ezra who listened attentively before a scoff left his mouth. “She is despicable” “The two of them are. While Axel's own stem from a misunderstanding and sudden hate, Mae's own is what I can’t understand” I responded, my eyes meeting his while he heaved an exasperated sigh. “However, the bright side is that we now have the upper hand here” When Mae fired everyone in the house and replaced them with the people that she had hired, I didn’t think much about it and didn’t suspect more foul things about it. However, ever since Ezra recovered and began digging into Mae’s relationship with Darius, it turned out that the new employees were in one way related to Darius. People that he once threatened. People that he once helped. People that lived under his mercy. People who owed him. So, Ezra used that information by meeting secretly with the head servant, promising to pay the debt owed to Darius
Mae’s P.O.VMy mind wandered back to when Marcel presented me with a small box. In the box, a diamond necklace was nestled inside and after that, he bought me different luxurious dresses and personally picked me up at the hospital instead of sending the chauffeur when I was discharged. Marcel even opened the car’s door for me and for the first time since we fell apart, Marcel smiled genuinely at me. Things were now falling into place. I couldn’t have done all of this if it weren’t for Axel and most importantly, Darius. I was glad that he walked into my life. Because of the havoc that I was able to wreak on Elodie in the media, Darius pre-ordered a thousand copies of my books and the interesting thing was that Marcel didn’t react to the news in the media nor did he bother to protect Elodie. He must have realized that being with her would cause him more calamity. He was in love with me now and that was all that mattered. I was soon snapped out of my reverie when my friend, Alice,
Marcel’s P.O.VTossing my phone aside, the chauffeur increased the speed of the car while panic washed over me. I couldn’t forget the pain in Sage’s voice that rang through my ears and most importantly, my heart squeezed with pain when he refused to speak to me. None of the triplets did and that shattered my heart. Because of that, I decided to sort out the issue between us, move forward, and regain that father-to-children spark. I heaved an exasperated sigh when it suddenly flashed through my mind that Elodie was telling me about what could be the reason why the triplets were giving me cold shoulders. I could have known that day if it weren’t for Mae’s fire accident. Now that I thought about it, she did mention something about Mae being involved. Loosening my tie, I removed the upper button, while heaving an exasperated sigh as my eyes squeezed shut. At that moment, my phone vibrated against the chair and revulsion swirled in my mind because I knew that it was no one other than
