Marco entered his room to see his father already there, with a glass of wine in his hand while his other hand held his mother's picture. He let out a sigh when he realized what today is, it was his mother's death anniversary and he has forgotten all about it, thanks to Ares' fake burial. But he was more disappointed at his father for still acting like a simp, but it couldn't be helped that after all these years that he couldn't let go of the woman who had abandoned him and her son, and ran away with another man only to die unfortunately in a plane crash. If you ask him about it and how he felt, he didn't feel bad for the loss of his mother. If anything, he felt relieved that he didn't get to experience the fake love that would come with her sticking around, whereas, she's in love with another man. What mother would abandon her husband and son for her lover? That's not a mother but a whore! Marco didn't believe in love, no, the kind of lifestyle he lived didn't require that, becaus
A limousine was being set out to drive Mr.B to the location where he was having dinner with the Godmother. He was supposed to feel like he was on cloud nine, but at the same time he's careful about this sudden dinner appointment.The caution of trying to make it alive to another day after the meeting, despite her siding with him, still didn't sit well with him that she did all that for free. So, it was only a matter of time before she made her intentions known to him.He hoped that it was something that he's capable of doing, well, even if he will have to force himself to do it he will have to do it. If anyone had told him that he wouldn't lose his job the day after yesterday he wouldn't have believed it.“All good to go.” He checked himself in the mirror and was happy with what he saw. He came down from his hotel room to see that the driver was already waiting for him.It wasn't just him that was there, a guard was there too which he didn't know the essence of him being there, becaus
The moment she heard the keys to the dungeon jingle, and voices advancing closer to where she is, Valerie didn't need anyone to tell her that he'd been informed about what she did. It's been a day since she was locked up, and in that period of being isolated from everyone she realized that he wasn't at home. So, she has made the mistake of thinking that he's back after vowing to kill Vanessa, and concluded on her own that him ignoring her was to torture her. But she got it all wrong. Now, the real torture is about to begin. It was at this point that everything that she did to Grace flashed right across her face like a movie and she realized that she had put Chad in far more danger than he was in. She's been locked up without food or water, her throat was patched but it wasn't real bad like it was the very first time that she was here. At least, this time she didn't waste her strength by shouting for help when she knew that it wasn't coming. She has saved her last strength to see D
“Tommy is awake!”This was the good news that had Jolene jump out of bed early this morning, the joy in her heart to hear that Tommy was finally awake, made her skip breakfast and rejected her mother's offer to drive her to the hospital.Hence, she didn't want to waste any more minutes since she had been anticipating this, for Tommy to wake up. Every night she would cry herself to sleep and blame herself for putting him in this position.As much as she couldn't bear to go see him, she knew that he wouldn't hold it to heart. It was a thirty minute ride from her home to the hospital, and when the taxi stopped right in front of the hospital she paid the driver, without taking her change and rushed inside.She was nervous, really nervous since she didn't know how he would react at seeing her. But she knew that he wouldn't blame her for what had happened. She didn't see it coming. Neither could she imagine in her wildest life that the same man, who had hurt him was stalking her.Ofcourse s
Voices. A piano is playing. Jolene heard them and groaned softly because of the pain at her back, she opened her eyes slowly only to notice her surroundings. She was in a five star restaurant and the least she remembered was coming back from the hospital after meeting Tommy. Then waiting for a taxi outside the hospital, the stalker, then… She gasped in shock when everything that had gone down moments ago came flashing through her eyes like a movie. “You are awake.” She heard a voice speak, familiar ones that had goosebumps roll down her skin before her eyes connected with dark gray ones, that sat right in front of her facing her with a smirk etched right at the corner of his lips. It was him. Her stalker. He's here with her in… She looked around her surroundings to see that she was in an unfamiliar setting. This wasn't in town, she figured and when she looked at her body to see that she was expensively dressed for this, she looked back at the man who had been waiting for he
He was going to do it.He was going to kiss her.With that in mind Jolene didn't know what to do. Irrespective of what this crazy man has done to her best friends, she couldn't help but be drawn to him.American men are handsome, but Italian men are way hotter and this dude was stirring something inside of her, feelings that she didn't want to act upon.Valerie.Remember Valerie.She said to herself, so as Marco bent down to claim her lips with the tension in the room accelerating. Jolene has to ruin the fun by turning her head to the side pushing him away lightly.“I need to go..back home.” She said turning to leave but he dragged her back to meet his face.“Marco.” He said, as she scrunched her face in confusion not quite getting what he was trying to say, until she figured out that he was telling her his name.Marco.He didn't look like a Marco kind of guy, yet, she didn't want to question if he was lying to her or not, because at this point he's still going to find his way back t
The following morning being Saturday, Valerie didn’t want to give Donovan the initiative that she was challenging him on the new job that he assigned her. After having the rules given to her by the assistant head of house, since Grace was still recuperating at the hospital which didn't bother her anymore. She asked for it. Valerie has to clean up Donovan’s room, when she arrived she noticed that he wasn’t in his room so the stress of waking him up by six was lifted off her shoulder. It sounded ridiculous that not only was she made his personal maid, the part in which she has to wake him up, a full grown up like him by six was an insult. Chad wakes up without her having to do that for him. So, she figured out that Donovan was either trying to get a reaction out of her, one that she knew would cut off every liberty Chad has now, which won’t ever happen. At least, she has to put up with whatever he does to her until she figures out a perfect escape plan and route, one that won’t end
“What the hell is going on here!!” Donovan's thunderous voice shook the whole building, as the maids who seemed to be eavesdropping scattered for safety, they were no longer interested in knowing the outcome, because Donovan's angry stare wasn't something pleasant to see. While the few who were hard hearted stayed behind to see the end of the unfolding drama, the curiosity that took upon everyone present, including Marco who seemed to have a satisfied smirk on his face, as if he was anticipating for this, to know what and how exactly Donovan is going to act towards the young lady, who seemed to be changing his mindset ever since she arrived. Marco didn't have any problem with him that he didn't hurt the little boy, her nephew.Since, he's too pussy to do that based on his childhood traumas, which was why he's here. To help do whatever it was that he couldn't do, yet, without talking things out with him he gives the Blacksmith’ sister a house and job. Who will believe that she isn't
Mature Content!Domestic violence!The breakfast started off fine, with Grandfather acting like he wasn’t the same person that had given him an ultimatum to choose between his mom and the love of his life. Angelo has given Donovan a signal from the very first time he has arrived with Anastasia, not to try to piss off the old man, since he was just looking for a reason to either kill his mom and Valerie .So, he tried his best to act as normal as possible, with his grandfather acting like the good father in law he was, by pushing the best past of the meal to Anastasia’s way.Donovan knows what he’s trying to do, but the old man has no idea that he had full control over his wife. He would be so disappointed to hear what Anastasia has to say, if he goes ahead to talk about Valerie.“So, have you made your decision yet?” Salvatore asked, looking at Donovan who looked at his father for an answer, but he himself didn't know what to say, since he wasn’t expecting his father to talk about th
Anastasia tried zipping up her gown, but she couldn’t reach towards the zipper. She has received word from one the guard that her presence was needed at her husband’s family house, for breakfast. With the talk of everyone being present there, she had made up her mind to as well use the opportunity to talk to her father in law, about how Donovan has been treating her all these while.A month and three days!That’s how long she has stayed here, locked up inside her room all day without any sight of her husband. After he had abandoned her on their wedding night for the girl he claims he’s in love with. He did much worse by taking away her phone, or any devices around the house she found use to reach out to anyone outside.To shut her up for good, but this opportunity was staring right at her face. She had her mind made up to expose Donovan’s ill treatment towards her.What sort of husband abandons his wife for months, on their wedding night, without checking up on her or their son, he h
Matured Content!!“You can leave now, it’s late.” Donovan said to Rio after coming down from the car. After he has successfully transferred to his new place days ago, he hasn’t been in constant contact with Marco, for which the reason was only made known to him.Irrespective of what Marco has done, he didn't want to give off the fact that they were having issues, afterall, Rio and Marco weren’t close like he’s with the three. Rio has always wanted Marco’s position and if Marco doesn’t sit up, and do his job, the position of his second in command could be Rios.“Before that sir..” Rio said, rubbing his hand nervously since he didn't know how he’s going to take the news he’s about to tell him.“What is it?” Donovan turned to face him. He has far more important things to do like cooking dinner for him and babygirl, but he’s been busy lately. So Rio and a new maid that he has assigned, were the ones that handle things over here when he’s away.He knew that he was wrong, so, he would have
Reporter Kim came down from his car, which he packed right outside the fake house that he was currently staying at. The reason for that being the fact that Vanessa, has suggested that after the tantrum he played by releasing that video to the police. It won’t take Donovan’s men much before they track him down. Although, there’s a chance that it would take days, but the chance of it happening had the both of them separate ways. Moreover, Vanessa has this plan, it was a risky one but he couldn’t help but do it for the greater benefit. Vanessa wants him to be kidnapped by Donovan, that way she would be to finally see Donovan and track him down. His locations has been unstable these days, she couldn’t exactly pin his exact location, and she knew the reason for that. After Donovan has betrayed and shot her at her thigh, it was as if something snapped inside her. She hasn’t been able to do anything without it having to do with finding Donovan. Moreover, she was scared. That he figured,
Five days later. Jolene woke up from the bed and ran to puke her guts out in the bathroom, she was not feeling fine ever since yesterday. She’s been having headaches, back pain and tiredness that she couldn’t explain the reason why she was suddenly sick. At first, she has blamed it on her sleepless nights where she has to cry herself to sleep, because she’s been dumped by Marco. After using her and taking her virtue, he down flatly treated her like they didn’t have anything serious going on between them. She couldn’t blame him entirely. Afterall, she never really got back the news that he’s okay after he was dragged away by his boss’ men. She was worried about him for the past few days until her calls couldn’t go through anymore, he had her message left unread without any reply so yes! He’s avoiding her. The young lady could still remember his reaction to her telling him the good news about her father being alive. It was at this point that it felt like the hex that had covere
Marco opened the door and once he saw his father standing outside, a big frown covered his face when he actually saw that it was his father that was knocking all along. Well, it obviously can’t be Jolene, because he had checked out of the hotel that she knew he was staying y at.So, there's no way she can actually get to him, if he’s not the one that makes it possible for her to see him. He was still not over his heartbreak, yet, he also had been lost in thought over the offer Donovan’s mother was offering.She wants Valerie, and with what has gone down in the past few hours that the police arrested Donovan for kidnapping Valerie, there’s no way he will be too stupid to not put more security around her this time around.Donovan might have successfully bribe the police over that video, but he wasn’t stupid enough to let his guard down around her. So, it was going to be much more difficult to get Valerie out this time around.“Don’t tell me that you are still angry, son? Come on, we hav
The next morning, Donovan woke up only to discover that Valerie wasn’t in bed with him. This was the first time that he has slept so late. He has always been a morning person, that sometimes he would wake up by four in the morning and watch her sleep.He sprang up from the bed with force, when he saw that she had ripped the iv that she has been taking since last night. This time, he was scared of what she might have done with him sleeping like a log of wood without actually knowing where she was.He was comforted with the fact that she didn't have the door pass or did she?He went to the nearest door looking for the card, he relaxed when he found it. That confirmed his suspicion about her leaving but he was still concerned about what she was doing right now.Ever since he made the mistake of killing that stylist in her face, yes! It was a mistake that he regrets because actually it wasn’t his intention to make her get scared of him. She’s supposed to love and feel comfortable around h
The moment Donovan entered inside the hotel room that Marco made him know was where his babygirl, Valerie was staying. He heard voices from inside coupled with the scent of antiseptics which made him rush in, fastly only to see Valerie lying on the bed, with a male doctor at her side, cleaning up the wound at her wrist.The moment Rio saw his boss, he tried to talk first and apologize for taking his eyes off Valerie for a minute, which made her opt to hurt herself after waking up to find herself in a different place, without him in sight.She has been panicking for the last twenty minutes and he has been calling him, but he wasn’t picking up.“Get your hands off her!” Donovan seethed in anger, which made the doctor pause his movement without complaining.“I’m sorry, boss.” Rio apologized.“What happened to her?” He asked him, moving along to sit at the edge of the bed to look at Valerie more closely.“I looked away for a second and then she was awake and started to panic when she didn
Once the call ended, Marco felt his heart breaking into pieces, and it wasn’t about the fact that Donovan’s words are still ringing in his head about who Jolene was going to choose once her father is awake. The reality was already playing right in front of his face that he couldn’t bear it himself to pretend to her anymore.He didn't want to pretend that he’s happy hearing that her father, the same man who wants him that was on the verge of death, had luckily escaped death to come haunt his life again.Just hearing her overexcited voice about her father being awake, confirmed everything for him, because just like at the end of the day he would choose his family, his father over anything and anyone else, Jolene would still choose her own family.He would choose his father over her, and that’s not selfishness. That’s the right thing to do, and he couldn't blame her if she does the same because he too is guilty of the same crime. It was at this point that Marco’s eyes were opened to his
