Marco hailed a cab and quickly entered the back seat, feeling the weight of the day's frustrations on his shoulders.He rested his head again and closed his eyes but it wasn't enough. He was too wired to just sit back and relax.He opened his eyes. Marco's eyes wandered out the window, scanning the passing streets. It was then that he caught a glimpse of a neon sign that read "Boxing Gym" in bold, vibrant letters.A surge of adrenaline coursed through Marco's veins as he considered the prospect of releasing his pent-up anger and frustration in the form of a vigorous workout. He needed to hit something, he couldn't face Lily like this.The idea of hitting something, the euphoric feeling of physical exertion, seemed like the perfect antidote to his current state of mind. Without a second thought, Marco leaned forward and tapped the driver's shoulder."Excuse me, sir. Could you please stop at that boxing gym?" Marco requested, pointing towards the illuminated sign.The driver, a middl

"I am sorry, what?" Marco asks.Dahlia cackled, "You don't believe it, right?" she asked.Marco nodded."Me neither and if you had told me, I would have called you a liar.""Then how did you find out?" Marco asked."I heard her on the phone in the bathroom. She had no idea someone was there and just started making calls. At first, I heard Thompson and I waved it off. But when she said Chris would kill her if she finds out that he was pregnant with his father's baby, I lost it."Marco stared wide-eyed, he couldn't believe his ears."Raina?" he asked to be sure.Dahlia nodded."My God! What the hell is happening?" he asked himself."I have no idea. I told you that girl was a vicious snake.""Yeah, you did. It's a good thing I got out before she bit me." Marco smiled."What are you going to do about them? Chris hurt you and he set your house on fire. When are you going to get back at them?" Dahlia asked impatiently."This isn't a game of cat and mouse. I am going to do this my way."Dahl

The water cascaded down his back as he leaned on the wall with his eyes closed.The tension in his back eased up the longer he stayed under the shower, Marco just stood there as the water poured all over him.After he looked at the picture, he threw his phone aside and went into the bathroom. He would handle the issue with a straight head.All he could think about was how his body ached after the workout. Marco had no idea if he was becoming heartless towards the situation. Chris had hoped the picture would send him running towards them with the hope of rescuing Kelvin but Marco had no interest in doing any of that.Lily was right, he couldn't go charging into the situation, it would only end in disaster, and that is what Chris wanted.Marco was done doing what Chris wanted, it was time to do what he wanted for a change.Marco turned the shower off and stepped out, he hurriedly put on his clothes and searched for his phone.He dialed David's number almost immediately."Hey Marco, I

Ford stormed inside what looked like a warehouse.His partner in crime and Chris stood side by side with Kelvin being tied up."We need to talk, right now," Ford demanded.Chris and Thompson looked up quickly, they looked apprehensive like Ford had brought the police to their hideout."What's going on?" Chris asked.Ford ignored him as he looked at Thompson, urging him to listen and come with him.Kelvin made a sound at the back of his throat and all attention turned towards me.Ford took one look at Kelvin and scrunched his nose in disgust.He walked to the inner room with Chris and his father following him.Father and son looked at each other, a similar expression painted on their faces.Worry.They entered the office and Ford started pacing, he looked agitated."What's going on?" Thompson asked as soon as he saw the worry on Ford's face."What's going on? I will tell you what's going on!" Ford lost his cool but he quickly composed himself."He has to go," he said."Who?""The boy ha

Lily gaped at Kelvin and then at Marco who carried on eating like nothing happened."Did you hear what he said?" Lily asked.Marco shrugged like it didn't matter, "Yeah.""He asked your best friend to spy on you, are you not at least worried about that?" Lily shrieked.Like she could remember that Kelvin was still present, she offered him a small smile."No offense." "None was taken," he said and continued eating.Lily watched the boys best like nothing was affecting them, she felt like she was the only one worried so much."So are you going to spy on me?" Marco directed the question to Kelvin who paused.His fork hanging in the air as he froze, he gently lowered the cutlery and faced Marco."No,"He resumed eating just for Marco to drop another bomb that made Lily drop her fork."You should,"Lily gasped, her eyes flying to Marco's to ask him but he avoided her eyes."What?" Kelvin asked, he was shocked.Lily couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her eyes widened as she looked
