“Well, it looks like we have our mole. This is going to be interesting.” Callum said, letting out a breath of uneasy air. “It can’t really be him.” Marcus said trying to protect his uncle and his belief in the man’s innocence but Callum was having no part of it. He pointed to the screen and raised his voice at Marcus.“How are you still protecting him? I understand that he’s your family but this is clear evidence that he sabotaged you. You can’t possibly overlook the fact that immediately he tampers with the controls, thirty minutes later it all goes to shit and people are pointing guns at the people you care for.”Marcus shook his head refusing to believe it. Deep down he knew that the evidence did not lie but he didn’t want to see Eric in such a light. He had been with this man for half a year for Christ’s sake. All the fights he had before, the ones he could remember, he always fought them with anger in his heart but how can he hate someone that was part of his family? If Eric wan

The trial and sentencing of Alexandra caused ripples in both the business world and in other areas of the city such as the underworld but while it was nationwide gossip, it didn’t circulate in the household of the Wei’s. It wasn’t because the owners forbade it. It was because the people who were there that night chose to forget all about it and move on with their lives. One of those people was Marcus.The past few days had been no surprise to his family with all the crazy talk going around but what stuck out to Marcus during that time was the lack of dirt he seemed to or didn’t seem to find on any staff members in the mansion. They were all squeaky clean with little to no priors before they joined the family. He leaned back in his chair at the office and groaned loudly.What detective Callum had said to him that night had stuck with him and he had followed every lead up till that point so it made no sense why he would find nothing and the staff were innocent. It confused him more beca

After the invasion on the Wei mansion and the police had arrested all the culprits, the minds of the staff and the owners of the house had calmed down a bit. Thankfully, no one was hurt or shot during the invasion. No one except for Eric that is but it was a small price to pay in his words for the safety of the others.The earlier ruckus had subsided and now there was only peace and quiet on the mansion grounds. The only thing that could be heard now was the chirping of crickets and the sound of the soft wind blowing. The only thing that could be seen was the police tape that was being removed after they cordoned off the area where Eric had gotten shot and the ominous glow of the blue and red lights of the police vehicles casted on the front lawn.Rachel had already gone inside and his father and grandfather had gone to the hospital to check up on his uncle so Marcus stood outside and basically supervised the cleaning and investigation of the crime scene. One of the officers whom none

“Maybe a bullet in your brain will make you remember.”No one said a word. No one was even quick enough as a bullet tore through the air and a deafening gunshot was heard. A small wisp of smoke rose up from the ground where the bullet had come in contact with. Marcus, who ducked his head in an attempt to dodge the bullet, opened his eyes and looked behind him. Their floor was wrecked by the bullet that had embedded itself into the ground. He let out a shuddering breath at the act while Alexandra stepped forward and placed the gun directly in front of Marcus’ head.“That wasn’t a mistake. I’m not a lazy shot. The next time that you want to insult my intelligence is the time that you die. Now, I’ll ask again. Do you know that you killed my child?” Alexandra stated, her voice dangerously low and heavy.Marcus shrugged in slight fear, coming to the realization that her son was the Davon that had dated Rachel for her money in the past. The one he had helped put away in prison but he really

After Victoria was dragged away and thrown out of the house, Rachel and the rest of the family could finally rest easy. The wretched woman was now out of their lives once more. They all turned away from the door and looked at Marcus who still had a faraway look in his eyes since he basically finalized the order to throw the woman he thought he loved out of his home. His hands stayed glued to the marriage certificate he believed was real.The members of the family shared an understanding look, grateful that he had not passed out again because of the revelation and also pained that he had to come to his reality in such a way. Rachel silently gave them the go ahead to leave, showing them that she would take care of Marcus on her own. The men took her lead and left the room without a word, allowing Rachel to handle the shit show that had occurred just some seconds ago. She took a seat next to Marcus not really sure whether she should follow her instinct and place a hand on his lap or sit

Marcus’ eyes fluttered open once more to voices but this time it wasn’t just his father’s and Rachel’s. Several male voices were thrown into the mix. He kept his eyes shut because of the bright light in the room and instead listened to what they had to say about his situation.“You say that he remembered her? I’ve checked his vitals and apart from his fainting spell he’s in good shape. If that’s the only reaction he has to telling him his past then I think letting him in on it all may be for the best but only in small doses. We can’t have him fainting every second of the day because he learned something new about himself and then having to undergo therapy if his mind fractures.” A male voice warned.“Noted doctor but I have one last question. Since he remembers her, is it okay if we tell him about her?” Micah’s unmistakable voice rang through.“I think that’s fine. You can but remember only in small doses.”A collective sigh of relief filled the room but there was one voice that stood
