Marcus: Charismatic Billionaire

chapter 1

Marcus was on his last delivery of the day in the cold weather after a long day. He delivered to fifty different locations so he could buy a cake for his wife for her birthday Tonight.

He entered the bar, and the receptionist directed him to the party room where the delivery came from . He carefully handled the package- an expensive cake.

"How I wish I can get this cake also for my wife", he uttered And entered the party room. Immediately he entered, he widened his eyes in shock for what he just witnessed. The cake fell down from his hand and smeared on the ground.

"Lydia," he mumbled, shocked to find his wife, the reason for his fifty deliveries was here in the room romancing a man.

The room was blaring for music and he was surprised to see his mother in law, brother and many others familiar faces also.

"Lydia!", He yelled very loudly, that despite the loud music, they could hear me. They all averted to it, and the music died down.

Lyida was shocked to see him and she immediately stayed away from the man. The others were shocked to see him as well.

"What... What is happening here", he stammered, his voice trembled.

Lydia rushed at him, "Marcus, what are you doing here", she tried to touch him huy Marcus gently moved her hand away.

"I should be the one asking you that, what the hell are you doing here and what is all this happening", he said, with a frown on his face.

"Uhm…uhm..", Lydia didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Jay, Lydia's mother chimed in, "what did you want to know, you don't deserve any explanation, and If you really want to know, we are here celebrating my daughter's birthday".

Marcus faced Lydia, "but you told me that we should celebrate it quietly in the room, I…I…".

"What do you want to say, you don't even know, yeah, I don't owe you an explanation, if I said I want a loud celebration can you afford it?", Lydia suddenly snapped at him.

"Lydia?", He mumbled.

"Yeah, you are poor and can't afford all this", she spinned around. Marcus was astounded by Lydia's sudden transformation.

Mrs. Jay stood up and walked towards him, "don't spoil this for us, and just gently walk out".

"What the hell are you saying, Lydia… you can just simply say you are sorry, and I will understand, yes, I am poor and I can't afford this, so you can be tempted, just apologize and let go home together", he said.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter, almost everyone knew him and that he had no money.

"Who is he? What is he even doing here who invited him?", A feminine voice hissed from behind.

Another feminine voice answered, "Don't you know him? A poor delivery man that can't throw a party for his wife, and he is even here to deliver a cake!!!".

The laughter saturated the room again.

"Lydia, let's go home and settle this' ', he calmly said.

Tom, Lydia's brother hauled from behind, "is this lowlife man here making sense? How could my sister leave all this fun just for you that you can't offer anything".

Marcus faced his mother-in-law, "mother…".

Mrs. Jay raised up her hand, "Don't call me mother please, I can't be a mother of a stinking lowlife person".

"Marcus, go home and stop embarrassing yourself, I will be back in the morning", Lydia said like it is nothing.

Marcus just lost his dignity. He didn't even know what to say, "Lydia… are you drunk? You are telling me to go home and wait for you so you could continue with your flirty act".

She shrieked back at him, "you don't have the right to tag me as that, you this lowlife, rag, dirty, poor orphan man!".

Everyone exclaimed to the series of insults as they all burst into laughter.

"Lydia", he lost his calm and shouted at her. The man that Lydia was romancing stood up, he was broad, and had big muscles.

Even by appearances, it was obvious the man would beat him to pump. He approached him slowly, his face hard as a rock.
