At that moment Marcus knows he had reached the point of no return; he knows it's either he obeys and does as he planned or they get their way. He gazes at the document in front of him; he knows it was more than just a piece of paper—it was a lifeline, something that can destroy him if it goes wrong; it's the key to his family's survival. He took a deep breath, the weight of the moment pressing heavily on his shoulders, and time was not longer on his side.Furthermore, he said it with a determined voice.“Okay, okay, I will sign the document,“ and I need you to assure me my wife is safe after that.”He said, his voice tinged with more confidence; he can't back down now.The man opposite him, standing far away, who had been orchestrating this tense scenario perfectly fine, couldn't help but smile, and he nodded approvingly. At that moment, it was clear to him that Marcus understood the gravity of his situation. He couldn't believe he was raising his shoulder and playing stubbornly whe

Marilyn's heart missed a beat. She had never seen anything like this before, but she couldn't think of surrendering or letting Hazel go. She has to kill Marcus and Hazel, no matter what since she can't get what she wanted. “I will pay you double the money; attack this son of a bitch”The men were hesitating when they saw their boss was on the floor, but after hearing the money had doubled, the fear inside them vanished, and rage took over. Ten men rushed to Marcus; they were no longer surrounding Marcus, so they wouldn't end up killing the men on the other side. Marcus remained static on his spot as he faced Marilyn. “Since you have chosen this path, then it's over.”The men instantly fired their guns at Marcus. Marcus disappeared from his spot again; he would appear close to Hazel if he could, but his varnishing step had limited coverage because he hadn't mastered the skill fully. If he had, he would be able to rescue Hazel immediately. Now, he has to quickly finish these men

Kane’s face lit up with an uncharacteristic brightness as he absorbed the shocking news he just heard not long ago, and it was confirmed by another, but both stories didn't tag along, but both were in the same direction, Hazel had been kidnapped. The gleam in his eyes betrayed a perverse joy, a stark contrast to the gravity of the situation. He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe God was on his side in this fight. He hadn't started to fight the useless girl, and this happened to her, and he prayed they killed her. If he had his way, he would have found a way to call them and pay them to kill her.Kane was unsettled yet happy. He felt an urgency to relay the news to his mother and see the look on her face when she heard the news. His mother, who always wants to support Hazel at every given opportunity, would think twice now.Without a moment’s hesitation, Kane bolted towards the house. His feet barely touched the ground as he sprinted through the garden, his heart racing with a

Marcus' grip tightened around Marilyn's neck, and one could hear the neck bone cracking from the force with which Marcus was holding it, his fingers pressing into her soft skin with unrelenting force, as the only thing on its mind was to make her suffer and give her a miserable death. Marilyn's eyes widened in terror. At that moment, she could say her life was linking to her, her breaths coming in short every second. She tried to fight for air, but it was not coming. She tried to struggle against Marcus, but she was too powerless; It's not having any effects. The more she tried, the more Marcus gripped her neck even tighter; it was as if she were a mere fly caught in a spider's web, helpless fighting for her life, and she could not even move a muscle but watch her life pass through her; her efforts were futile.Her hands clawed at Marcus's arms, attempting to relieve the pain and desperately free herself from Marcus, but its strength was overwhelming. She attempted to scream, to c

Marcus faced Hazel with a warm smile on his face, his eyes filled with compassion, but deep down he was not happy about everything that had happened and what Hazel had to go through because of him.However, he knows he can't be regretting his actions now, not when he has finally caught Marilyn and will be able to know who was behind her soon.He holds Hazel's hands.“Come, let's go home. You have suffered for days now. It's time to rest. Let me get you home.”Hazel, at that moment, nodded, understanding Marcus' concern. She knew she needed rest, and without being told, her body needs the rest more than anything, but now that Marcus is here, she has something important to discuss that has been on her mind since day one about all of this and she can't leave without telling him. She turned to him, her expression serious this time.“Darling”Marcus immediately looked Hazel in the face. She knows that whenever she says that, it means she wants to say something serious or important, which
