Here Comes the Lord Chapter 13 Marry Me
Mark came to think that he deserved the prize for both the unluckiest and luckiest person in the world.OK, Mark didn't consider 'unlucky' to have met a beautiful woman like Briana Vasconcelos.The big problem, in his view, was the completely unexpected situation in which he found himself with the same Briana!Everything seemed to conspire for Mark not to escape from his predicament, starting with the same Briana who locked the car with a technology unknown to him.Then, it seemed that the drug had given Briana some strength from beyond to subdue a man.As Mark had noted before, the car was parked in a spot away from the other cars.Also, the employees usually have lunch at a nearby restaurant and walk there, so no one would enter the parking lot and find one of the cars in this unexpected situation.Mark almost strangled himself struggling to prevent Briana from taking off his shirt, but, with no way out, he no longer stopped her and resigned himself.He convinced himself that Briana
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 14 A New Spirit
Mark and Briana walked out of the registry office.For both of them, the feeling of being married gave them an extra dose of confidence in what to do.Mark looked at his new wife and felt that she had a different sparkle in her eyes.As they walked towards her car, he asked, "What's the matter, Briana?"Mark wondered if it would be too bold to call her by affectionate names, but at least he wouldn't call her formally."I can't explain, Mark," Briana replied, "But I feel that signing that certificate gave me a boost for what lies ahead.""Do I not repulse you?" Mark asked, thinking of the countless times Celia had told him that.Briana stopped next to her car's driver and shook her head. "Why would I? I might not know you deeply, Mark, but I'm sure you're not of the same kind as those who drugged me."Mark smiled contentedly to hear that.He felt that, if his marriage wasn't perfect as it usually is in fairy tales, at least with Briana, it wouldn't be a repetition of what it was with C
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 15 It's a Shame, But I Will Have to Fire You
Anthony Curtis was shocked to hear the door of his office being slammed open.When he saw who it was, his face immediately turned red with anger."MARK FERRO! What does this mean?""Did you call me, Manager Curtis?"Anthony was taken aback by Mark's sarcastic tone and attacked with words, "What is a mere employee, of the lowest rank, doing with such an arrogant attitude?""Manager Curtis, my time is precious," Mark replied, leaving the door open, "Let's address what happened."Anthony was a bit confused, but continued to speak angrily, "Yes, let's talk about what happened! How dare you barge into my office and take Miss Vasconcelos, one of our most esteemed collaborators?"Where did you take her? We have CCTV footage showing you taking her by the arm to I don't know where!"You better tell me now what you did with her or where she is, or I'll fire you and report you to the police for kidnapping Miss Vasconcelos!"Mark was not shaken by the words.He shook his head slowly, feeling disg
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 16 Interim Manager
Anthony Curtis was catatonic for a few seconds. He couldn't believe what his ears had just heard.Him, fired?He was about to fire the troublemaker janitor!How is that possible? What did he do wrong?Anthony shook his head and questioned, "Gene, today is not April Fool's Day. Stop with the prank!"Gene rolled his eyes and signaled to someone, "Manager Curtis, this is not a joke. We received strict orders for your position to be terminated today.""Gene, I demand that you give me an explanation—"Anthony was even more shocked to realize that Gene had hung up on him.João, Mary Ellen, and the other employees were in shock, not knowing what to say. Did they hear correctly?"Manager Curtis, why are you reacting as if YOU were the one being fired?""Didn't you explain to HR that it's janitor Mark who has made our company an impossible place to work?" João asks scandalously, entering the office.Mark, glancing disdainfully, warned João, "Careful, idiot. You never know when HR is in a bad m
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 17 Meeting Her Family
Mark was smiling at the entrance of Glamour, waiting for Briana to take him to her family's house.Some employees, like Mary Ellen, kept their distance from Mark, with an inexplicable fear.Suddenly, Briana's luxurious car stopped and Mark quickly got in."Mark, why are you smiling?""Let's just say things are falling into place," Mark replied, fastening his seatbelt."OK. Now we need to introduce you to my family," Briana replied and added, "Are you okay with that?""I'm fine." Mark turned to her with a reassuring smile."I know it seems sudden." Briana thought it would be good to explain, "But there's a banquet happening today and I need to attend."So I thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce you to them as my husband."Mark needed no motivation for this."Understood. I just need to go to my apartment to dress up.""Yes, I understand. Let's go then." Briana smiled in relief, "Thank you so much, Mark."Mark nodded, and Briana headed to his old apartment.'Briana, you wi
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 18 Family Reception
Mark continued to observe the scene unfolding in the dining room of the Vasconcelos mansion.He had expected a harmonious banquet with decent people, just like Briana was.After all, if Briana was a good girl, it must have been due to the upbringing her family had given her, right?But with their reaction to the marriage, Mark changed his mind.What he had said about Briana needing to get married after being drugged and having relations with him had proven true once again.If Briana were to say that she had lost her virginity without Mark by her side, she would be torn apart by her family!But it seems that Briana is receiving the same treatment even after introducing her husband to them."I'm waiting, Briana!" her grandmother impatiently shouted, "Who is this young man?""His name is Mark Ferro," Briana respectfully replied, although inside she was outraged."I've never heard of him, so just stating his name is unnecessary!" her grandmother replied arrogantly, "What does he do?"Bria
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 19 Think About What Our Friends Will Say
At this point, it's unclear whether the Vasconcelos family had gathered to celebrate a family member's birthday or to have fun at the expense of Mark and Briana.However, this was the result after Briana futilely presented Mark as her husband.Mark's final remark made the others laugh until they couldn't anymore."He, he, he! I didn't know janitors had access to confidential company information!" Katrina exclaimed mockingly."It looks like the Glamour hierarchy is revolutionizing, huh? Now even the lowest-ranking members know about contracts and corporate collaborations!" James joined in the mockery.Gilson felt uncomfortable for having such a lowlife visitor on his birthday and decided to join in, "Young man, bragging is a bad habit, you know?"Didn't Briana tell us that you worked in janitorial? Did you happen to overhear classified conversations when you entered the office to sweep the floor?"Katrina shook her head in disdain, "No, Dad. This guy is probably a spy, listening to oth
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 20 A Bet
Everyone laughed so hard that they were practically gasping for breath, leaning this way and that.A poor loser bragging about booking the Aurelia Cathedral?Who did he think he was?!The Cathedral of Aurelia was famous for its medieval-style construction, which had been preserved and renovated by the government over all these years, maintaining its original appearance.As a result, the venue had been one of the most famous points in the kingdom of Aurelia.And only the privileged elite are eligible to enter.Even their family — the Vasconcelos family, weren't qualified.So how could someone like Mark, a mere working-class janitor, qualify?Truly laughable!Mark, on the other hand, remained completely unaffected.Wasn't it clear in his own mind whether he was qualified or not?If he wasn't qualified, then hardly anyone in this world would be!With indifference, he observed first-hand how a bunch of snobs behaved."Oh my God! Briana, where did you find this husband of yours? At some st

Chapter 489 Accusation of Sabotage
Later that afternoon, at Vasconcelos Company, Sandro sat in his office, finishing a post-lunch discussion with Alanna Torres at Briana’s request.“You know, Miss Torres, we’re very grateful that you tried working with us,” Sandro said sincerely. “We had high hopes for Hope Alive, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out.”Alanna smiled kindly. “It happens. Not every series succeeds.”“Anyway,” Sandro continued, “if it’s not too much trouble, I’d like to refer you to my daughter. Glamour has multiple projects in the works after the success of Briana’s two shows. My son-in-law just returned from Lagoon City after representing us at LCN.”Alanna’s interest piqued. “Hmm, that sounds intriguing. I should discuss this with my agent—”The door suddenly burst open, revealing Gilson, fuming like a raging bull.“No, you will not speak with your agent!” he thundered.Sandro shot up from his seat while Alanna recoiled from the unexpected outburst.“Gilson, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” S
Chapter 488 Bloody Lunch
Back at Glamour, just as Luana had feared, Celia was carefully crafting an image of herself as a sweet and trustworthy employee rather than taking a lunch break. Briana, however, was growing increasingly distracted, glancing at her wristwatch while her stomach grumbled.“...So, Briana, if it’s not too much, I’d like to work with Karl on the Times of Glory team,” Celia said, her voice soft and persuasive.Briana snapped out of her hunger-induced haze. “Huh? Oh, right. I didn’t know that was an issue.”Celia feigned concern. “Mark assigned me there, but some people have pointed out that he doesn’t actually run the company.”Briana sighed. “Sometimes, I wish he did. The real owner of Glamour has never even reached out to me.”“You’ve never been curious?” Celia asked, tilting her head.“Not really,” Briana admitted. “He always communicates through Gene.” She stretched and stood up. “Anyway, let’s go to lunch?”Celia’s expression darkened slightly. “Do you understand my situation?”Briana
Chapter 487 I Trust You, I Don’t Trust Her
At noon, inside the Ferro House, Mark sat at his desk, deep in conversation with Regis and Vargas. Despite the time of day, rest was the last thing on his mind.“We need to expose that nightclub and bring their little scheme to light,” Mark declared, his tone sharp and decisive.Vargas, always the strategist, leaned forward. “How do we go about that, sir?”Mark’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “They’re cautious now, obviously. But the day will come when they let their guard down — especially after seeing high-profile guests like Ray Dixon and Melissa Campos Rocha’s youngest son frequenting the place.”Vargas nodded in understanding. “So, they’ll only relax when they think there aren’t any big names around.”“Bingo,” Mark confirmed. “That means Ray Dixon can’t go back there. If he does, all eyes will be on him.”Regis, standing with his arms crossed, weighed in. “Understood, Lord Ferro. One of our men should infiltrate as a spy.”Mark already had someone in mind. “Agent 03 has been
Chapter 486 Love’s War
A short while later, Karl and Luana stormed out of Briana’s office, making a beeline for Mark’s office, their frustration evident. Meanwhile, Celia and Mary Ellen walked in the opposite direction down the hall.“What was that all about?” Mary Ellen asked, curiosity piqued.Celia chuckled. “That, my dear, was war.”Mary Ellen frowned. “Did you really want to provoke the beast just because she’ll be working in a studio outside of Glamour?”“Exactly.” Celia smirked. “She was in there, all flustered, practically screaming that I’d go after her boyfriend now that she’s going to be far away.”Mary Ellen crossed her arms. “But… isn’t that exactly what you want?”Celia halted in her tracks and shot Mary Ellen a wicked grin. “You should be a psychic.”Mary Ellen sighed. “Girl, I have a bad feeling this is going to end in disaster, not a solution.”Celia waved off her concern. “Trust me, dear friend.”But Mary Ellen wasn’t convinced. “And you’re doing all of this without actually being in love
Chapter 485 She Won’t Forget that Night
Gilson felt offended by Sandro’s question. “Why? What’s the problem?”Sandro waggled his index finger. “We need to check with the finance department first to see if we have the funds to start a new production from scratch!”“Oh, come on! We’re not broke, Sandro!”“That remains to be seen,” Nadir interjected.“No one asked for your opinion!” Gilson snapped.Sandro’s expression darkened. “Gilson, if you allow me to insult your wife, I won’t allow the same toward mine!”Gilson felt like he had entered an alternate reality. He was too stunned to respond immediately.“W-wait… Who told you I allow anyone to insult my wife? You two are insane!” he stammered before spinning on his heel and storming off to his office.Nadir looked at her husband with concern. “Honey, he’s going to start accepting new projects just because he’s CEO.”“Possibly,” Sandro admitted. “But my mother is still the family matriarch. She’ll have the final say once she reviews the financial reports.”“Let’s go check in wi
Chapter 484 Checking Their Pockets
At the Ferro house, the morning sun streamed through the grand vestibule as Briana and Mark embraced tightly, savoring the moment after their time apart. Regis and another maid discreetly carried Mark’s luggage inside.“Welcome back, sir,” Regis greeted.“Thanks, Regis,” Mark replied before turning his attention back to Briana. “So, did you miss this handsome devil?”Briana pouted playfully. “Of course. Now I need to cleanse you of all the female germs you picked up while you were away.”Mark pulled back slightly, feigning offense. “Sweetheart, there were no women bouncing on my lap in Lagoon City.”“Mmm-hmm. They probably just didn’t dare.”“I only have eyes for you. Besides, the trip was strictly business, remember?”Briana sighed. “Give me a general summary so I can pass the message along to Glamour.”“Why?” Mark asked, raising an eyebrow.She hesitated. “You’re not thinking about going to Glamour right now, are you?”“Duty calls.”“But you need to rest, darling. Let me handle work
Chapter 483 Defeating Her Without the Drug
Ray knelt before her, his gaze playful, his intent clear.“N-no, that’s not it…” Katrina stammered. “I—I have to get back to work.”Ray’s grin turned sly. “Didn’t you come here to celebrate your divorce?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Katrina huffed. “I came on a mission. An impossible one.”Ray’s eyes glinted with amusement. “A mission, huh? Maybe I can help.”His words calmed her slightly. Maybe he could help.“Well,” she began, her voice turning sweet, “I wanted to know what Armando Pratt and my ex-husband wanted with Mark Ferro on this unusual trip with you.” She leaned closer, her smile teasing. “Perhaps you could tell me.”Ray ran a hand over his towel, teasing her with the possibility of removing it. “Not sure I’m authorized to talk. It’s something related to the LCN.”Katrina traced her bottom lip with her teeth. “Are you sure I can’t convince you?”Ray smirked, leaning in. “I think we can come to an agreement.”Just as Katrina prepared to seal the deal in her own way, her phone rang.She
Chapter 482 In Bed With the Spy
Karl and Luana sat at the kitchen table, enjoying their breakfast with evident enthusiasm. They were eager for Mark’s return, which was expected a few hours later.“They’re on their way, darling,” Luana said, her voice carrying a hint of excitement. “That means we’ll have some news.”Karl, still chewing, raised an eyebrow. “What kind of news could we expect that we don’t already know?”“I have no idea,” Luana admitted, tilting her head thoughtfully. “But with Ray Dixon traveling with him, that can only mean one thing.”Karl swallowed, his expression turning skeptical. “You want to bounce on his lap under the influence of that drug?”Luana rolled her eyes and let out an exaggerated gasp. “No! I want to bounce on your lap—” She suddenly feigned a choking fit. “Ahem! I mean, I want Ray Dixon working on the show Times of Glory! Isn’t that what we should be rooting for?”Karl’s response was indifferent. “Maybe… but don’t forget, that show was made for men.”Luana smirked. “I wouldn’t dream
Chapter 480 Receiving the Corresponding Treatment
“Dear, I thought you were smarter.” Mark teased. “Don’t believe everything you read.” Briana wasn’t offended, continuing, “I’m keeping an eye on him, Mark.” Mark choked, his eyes widening. What’s this? His wife is keeping an eye on another guy? “Dear, when I get back, I’m going to satisfy your longing. Get ready to take two days off,” Mark announced in a hoarse, commanding voice. Briana, however, rolled her eyes. “Do you think he will renew the contract with Vasconcelos?” “What contract? He told me there won’t be a second season of ‘Flop Alive’,” Mark replied, mocking Katrina’s series. “Then it’s settled! Let’s offer a contract, not just for him, but also for Alanna Torres. She can star in ‘Colorful Kisses’ while Ray Dixon joins the cast of ‘Times of Glory’.” Mark pressed his lips together at the prospect of having Ray in the medieval series that is being talked about more by women than men. However, if his dear wife is referring to the success of her series, who is he to int
