Chapter 6
Marco didn’t know what to do, the least he wanted was for his honor to be stomped upon as they drag him out with disgrace.Then he raised an index at the lady, “You think I’m lying, let me call him so you’d be sure I know exactly what I’m doing here and who I’m here for.” Marco said to her.Dipping his hand into his pocket and retrieving his battered phone, he depended so hard on the lingering percent that keeps the screen lighted.The percent was low and flat, a long call would drain it dead but he had to fry his luck, else this lady would think of him as a beggar and drag him out, this disgracing him in front of all the audience casually present.He strolled to the newly saved contact, clicking on the particular one that has the old man’s man and putting it to dial.Just as the first ring went through the call was picked, and at the end the old man’s voice boomed. “Young Master, hello.” His greeting were polished with respect, same with his tone.“Yes, but I’m in the mansion you invited me to right now, and your receptionist believed me to be a beggar, could you please come here to the first floor and clear the air.” Marco had told him, requesting and keeping his voice also respectful.He might be addressed by him as a well respected person, but that doesn’t change the fact he’s older than him and deserves his respect. As the say stated, respect is reciprocal, doesn’t apply to all, but apply to certain sets.“I’m so sorry for her misjudgment, Young Master. I will be down there with you in a minute.” The man retorted before the line went dead.Marco pulled the phone down his ear to see the screen black and void. He tried clicking on the switch, but it wasn’t lifting up.He sighed guessing what had happened, the phone is finally drained of percent to keep it active.His gaze went back to the lady who still had her face marred with disgust staring at him. “Give him a minute, he would join us soon.” He informed, ignoring the condescending expression directed at him.A figure breezed past him at that moment, his eyes whipping away from the receptionist towards the male figure that walked past him.The male figure stopped turning around that brought his face to Marco’s view as he halted to converse with a staff.It was a familiar face, a recognizable one that had veins squeezing up on Marco’s face as he gawked with intense hatred. His fists beside his body curling into a punch ready to be thrown as the memories from yesterday came pouring down his mind.The way the woman he loved very much was entangled in his arms, how he had his filthy lips on hers.Fury was an under-word for the emotion spread wide on Marco’s face as his eyes glowered beneath his lashes at the man few paces across of him.“Oh yes, thank you. Later Sean.” He tapped on the man’s shoulder waving him bye, the man coming towards where Marco stood, thus having the chance to witness the familiar eyes filled with darkness probably breaking him to pieces in his mind.“You.” He was also quick to recognize Marco, his index lifted and pointed at him as he took a step closer to him.“Wait, what are you doing here?” He asked before looking around well aware that the vicinity is not a place someone like Marco can be seen.“Oh mine!” He exclaimed with an expression corresponding mockery. “You’re here because of yesterday ain’t you? Who told you how to find me even?” He broke into a laughter fueled by jest with his hands coming together to rest on his chest.“I unfortunately did not come here for you, because trust me if I do. Your blood would be getting mopped off the floor already, the instance I saw you is going to be instance I sought to put you down.” Marco’s teeth gritted in vicious rage, he could feel his anger tickling on his skin and the urge to leap forward and pounce on the man in front of him was nearly irresistible.He broke into another peal of laughter as if Marco threat stood nothing but a ghost ground. “Oh please, you don’t expect me to be scared of a nobody like you did you? A lifeless worthless human being with no purpose in life coming here to threaten me when I took the only thing reasonable in his life and make it mine,” A provocative smirk curled up his lips as his statement encountered a lapse.“However, I have a little advice for you and don’t worry you don’t have to pay to hear it. The only thing probably worth a cent is you put altogether, and that doesn’t even come close to the value of my advice so be grateful that I’m giving it to you for free. I’m going to call on the guards right now and have you kicked out, you probably should go to the Oakland bridge and go for a swim that would leave you drown. You have no purpose, there should be no reason for you to live. It would be better for you to take my advice and really go kill yourself.”“Someone come get this fool out of here!” He blew out the sentence in a shout that had few men who materialized from the periphery coming to Marco’s side.“Oh I’m so going to make you regret this I promise. You’re going to take everything back, the insult, the- every single thing-““Oh shut it and stop having faith in yourself becoming something. I want him out of here.” Just as he finished addressing Marco, he snapped a finger for the men to carry out his order.But much to the dismay, Anders appeared at the scene. Dren was the first to sight him, “Sir Anders!” He bowed his head immediately showing respect to him.Anders however, ignored as he rushed over to Marco. “Young master!” He called at once with his head falling low in salute to him.His appearance instilling dominance into Dren and the two guards standing beside Marco about to throw him out. Both halting their actions with their head bowed in respect to Anders who in return was only showing regard to Marco, oblivious to their existence.Chapter 7Dren stared with his pupils nearly bulging out of his sockets, his lips parted in stupefaction. If he wasn’t wrong, Anders; the president of Lourd’s Green Energy. The finest and richest energy source in the whole city. The president was the man he saw bowing at an impoverished lowlife individual gagged up in rags appearing worthless than he can ever imagine. Anders Coleman was the president of Lourd’s Green Energy. And everyone knew he attained such powerful and wealthy position by his acquaintance with this super rich family that the public had no scent of. They were a mystery, one no man in the whole city is yet to solve. All they know is the Lourd’s name used to be for a family that sometime later were off on the streets, no one knew what the family is consist of anymore ever since the tragic incident that took place years ago. This pushed the Lourd’s into hiding and fading off the public eye, gradually becoming a ghost. Anders was then given control all over, he bec
Chapter 8 Marco went away with Anders who took him through an elevator passing through more corners before arriving at an office. Two guards were at the door inspecting the surroundings when both arrived, one who sighted them first was quick to held the doorknob pushing open a space for their entry. Anders ushered Marco inside the office where he pointed over at a chair in front of his desk where he could seat. Marco took some seconds surveying the room before matching his way over to the leather chair, he sat down settling his gaze on Anders who was also taking his seat.“Now where should I begin?” He silently asked, but audible enough for Marco’s conceiving. “Begin what?” He had asked with a furrowed expression, there are questions throbbing his mind about the sudden change in his life. But that could stall till after some explanation. He needed no soothsayer to tell him he was about getting real with his background and a lucid narration to the sudden change in his life. “You
Chapter 9 Marco stirred in silence, gaping longingly at the object that swayed in still motion between his left palm. Why wasn’t he informed of the policy here, or was Anders not informed or aware? At that moment was a sparkling wine colored Tesla; the sixth model, in all it elegance pulling over at the checkpoint, close to where Marco stood conversing with the two guards. The door was then opened to reveal a tall beauty goddess stepped out of the car, her slender curvy body scouring an expensive silky black gown that length across her knee. Her gloved hand raised up, tipping down the sunglass shading her eyes. She marched over to where Marco stood with the guards. “Marco!” She called, her ruby lips making a slight seductive movement repealing Marco’s name. Marco glanced to her direction, his jaws dropping to the floor at the sight of the stunning beauty standing feet away from him.Not only was he floored by her appearance, but by her presence. They were mates back then in hig
Chapter 10 She gaped at him, her brows narrowed into a questioning look, anticipating his response to clarify her question. Marco avoided her gaze, his heart drumming a panic rhythm as those electric blue eyes bored into his soul from beside him.He already told her the truth, but saw it as a lie. What could he probably do than stretch the truth then, and to what new fact would he stretch the truth to make it believable. She wouldn’t believe him if he told her who he actually was. Heir to the city’s wealthiest empire, a trillionaire, and the new face of Lourd’s Consortium. Definitely going to either see him as a crazy man, or a man filled with delusions. Finally, an idea plucked into his mind and a sigh almost broke through his lips. He dragged his face into facing her again, “Fine. I was lying.” She raised an eyebrow, expecting more to the phrase. He was lying, then he should go on and explain himself. “There was this rich name, I never really caught his name. I think he came f
Chapter 11 His eyes shunned a look of suspense, hooded with a small smirk attached on his lips. He came into view, claded in a sparkly all white suit, down to the color of his shoes. He went all for the color. Marco stared with a creased brows, face furrowed in confusion as he watched the strange man approaching him. He was about the same age with him, late twenties with his features appearing more filler than Marco’s. He had broad shoulders, to his chest and a muscled body all over. “They were right.” Came a cold chilling response, his hooded eyes inspecting Marco within scrutiny. Differing from what he asked, his response had chills settling in Marco’s body. “Stay back and tell me who the fuck you are?” Marco warned, framing a defensive stance with his fisted palms coming to display, pointed at the nearing stranger. He stopped on his tracks, hands raising up in surrender, and yet the smug smirk remained on his face. “I meant no harm, just here to confirm some things. So yo
Chapter 12 Marco was testing out some outfits when he heard the doorbell ringing. He at first ignored, thinking it was coming from a near neighbor, but then realized his building stood alone around the vicinity. This had him wondering who could be ringing his bell, he was new at the area; literally yet to made any friends. Danger hinted at his instincts, he slipped back into his robe, coming out of the closet while branching his bedside table to retrieve the gun kept in the drawer. He strolled downstairs, keeping his movement light and unnoticed. Approaching the door, he corked the gun, positioning a target before opening the door to reveal a strange guy. Marco brought down the gun, confusion morphing into his face as he looked the guy over to read him. “Who are you?” He questioned, while his eyes raid him all over. “I’m Jacob by name. And I’m suppose to be your assistant. Mr Anders sent me here.” He introduced, bowing his head with his palms clasped behind him. Marco scoffed
Chapter 13 He 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 14 Marco 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
