Chapter 37Darius’s point of view “You were all betrayals.” My voice toned out, hands falling behind me into a clasp as I stepped into motion, pacing left to right addressing the scene in front. “And as you all know, that is something I do not condone.” My feet halted, gaze trailing to their faces to see the tremor building on their eyes. “Not even in the slightest.” “You held a meeting behind me and discuss together on how to dethrone me. How do you all plead to the proved accusations?” I turned to face them, pushing out my arms as I relayed my words. They exchanged glances, head bent low, the faint smell of fear clouding their aura. “We’re sorry, Your Highness. We were manipulated, we were never going to carry out our plans, Adrien exploited us-“ His gurgled with his words stuck between his throat, my gaze on him intensify as he began gasping for air. A certain invisible force lifted in his lung to keep it from respirating oxygen, in and out. His eyes bulged and sweats domina
Chapter 38He paced around his closet, mulling over the idea skulking at the surface of his mind. He was yet to phone Anders, because he needs to be sure about this. Deciding it was the best and only option, he went back to his room, obtaining his phone on the bed where he flung it, he operated to dial Ander’s number. “Shit!” He cussed, finding out his phone was still dead and he’s yet to charge it back up. The patched up state of the phone does nothing than mock him on his need to get a new one, with a cracked screen, broken battery and many more. He should have gotten it even. However, his earnings, savings were all getting sucked out of his pocket by his debt. One he got in just to save his girlfriend from dying, the lover who later betrayed him and left him for a better man she believed. A knock rang on his door, interrupting his thought as he jerked a head towards the door. It wasn’t unlocked, and the only visitor in mind knocking wouldn’t be anyone other than his assistant.
Chapter 39Marco got to his old apartment, unable to stop his head from recalling what went down right where he was. His girlfriend betraying him, cheating on him, and casting him out. He heaved a sigh, drowning the dejected feeling that seek to shroud his head as he went straight to his wardrobe. He searched under a clean heap of folded clothes, where he found a box. He took the box out, opening it to reveal some documents. He brought one out of them out, giving it an inspective view. It was the document handling his ownership of the house he stood in. And another was a copy of the file he signed when Gina fell out with her sickness, the surgery that was performed for her to save her. His finger trailed on that particular document, letting his mind date back to their good times. She has always been the best girlfriend, never for once messed over the fact that he was beneath her. She’s the daughter to one of the notable family in the city, well respected and wealthy. Yet she f
Chapter Forty “You’ll be repaying elsewhere, and not my bed or anywhere inside this house.” He further said, rephrasing his previous words. “Marco!” Gina seared away from her boyfriend, a bit startled by Marco’s presence as she took slow steps towards him. “What are you doing here?” She asked, knowing damn well the house doesn’t belong to her or her boyfriend to ask a question like that. “You do know that this is my home right, and today isn’t going to be like yesterday that you and your boyfriend threw me out.” His brows nudged closer, and his gaze narrowed to where the boyfriend stood. “I can still throw you out, we’re paying the rent together and I just renewed the rent of this particular apartment, only I without your help. Which actually makes me the owner. So tell me what you are doing here before it goes back to being like yesterday and you’re once again chased out.” She took a cocky stance against Marco, folding arms on her chest. Dren, her boyfriend remained silent rega
Chapter 41Marco was still looking into things in his room when a knocked barged on his door. He expected the knocker to be Gina or her boyfriend, he knew they were still going to throw at least brief tantrum over what happened. However, when he opened the door he wasn’t expecting to see the cops. “Mr Lourd, you’re under arrest for trespassing into somebody’s property without their consent or permission. You’re going to need to follow us to the station please.” The officer briefed Marco, handing out cuffs to use on Marco when he stepped backwards. “You want me with you, very well. But I won’t be wearing that.” I stood by the kitchen’s counter, lids concealed with my hands placed on the rails for support. Pain nudged through my system and I fought the urge to express it out loud as my lips quivered. “I don’t have to come back here and still meet you here, Myra.” With resentment, she laid the warning, departing the kitchen afterwards and leaving me to my misery. I was suppose to
Chapter 42With a lingering agitation over the atmosphere, everyone staring at him in suspense. “What do you want?” Mikel grilled out in an icy tone, merely fazed by the sight of the gun pointed at him. All running through his mind was the calculation of bridging their distance, smacking that gun off his hand, and smashing him to his death. However, the tool repeatedly played it part, keeping him restricted as he glared at the muzzle paralleling his gaze. “It’s simple actually, just a transaction of some millions.” He stated, his tone humorous, flicking the gun in their faces to keep them attentive.Dawn from where she stood has her head bowed, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her mind the least conscious of her surroundings or the situation, the only thing chanting in her head was the obvious fact that her boyfriend of how many years is a cheater.Out of nowhere, she sank to her knees. Hands holding to her chest as she glanced up to face him, his emotionless express
Chapter 43Marco was still looking into things in his room when a knocked barged on his door. He expected the knocker to be Gina or her boyfriend, he knew they were still going to throw at least brief tantrum over what happened. However, when he opened the door he wasn’t expecting to see the cops. “Mr Lourd, you’re under arrest for trespassing into somebody’s property without their consent or permission. You’re going to need to follow us to the station please.” The officer briefed Marco, handing out cuffs to use on Marco when he stepped backwards. “You want me with you, very well. But best believe I won’t be wearing that.” He pointed at the cuffs a cop was handing out to him. The coo nodded in agreement as he paved way for Marco to step out. “What’s your name by the way?” Marco asked, walking down the stairs with them. He halted, turning around sharping as he glanced narrowly at the man’s badge, zooming at the name tag right above it. Dillon Helms. “Is that of any importance si
Chapter 44The clocked ticked with an eccentric pace, going down from ten to the last count reaching zero with Gina remaining rooted to where she stood. “I know you won’t throw me out, you love and you wouldn’t dare.” She sound so sure, crossing her arms over her chest as she masked a solid expression. Marco drew his brows in amusement, “I think you forgot about the part where you broke my heart, betrayed me, left me for dead and still expect me to be in love with you after that. You sure are delusional, really out of your mind.” He nodded to his own words, tapping on his phone while a small smile parted his lips. “Yeah, I need you send two cops to this address. There’s an actual trespasser in a property of mine, refusing to leave after I’ve asked numerous times for her to leave. I think I’d need some force to handle her, and teach her some lessons.” He spoke into the phone, sifting his attention off Gina as he laid out his words. “Yeah thanks,” he voiced after some seconds, endin
