Sophia was looking at the letter, smiling and very happy. Her face lit up as she faced Marcus. She looked at him in a flirtatious way, "You did this!"Marcus chuckled and sipped his wine, "How? I did nothing.""I am sure the CEO considered because of your skill, the medical skills you show. You were cool then," she stated."Being medically skillful has nothing to do with business. You are just lucky, and you give that impression," Marcus simply stated.Sophia kept looking into Marcus's eyes. The words burned in her stomach. She loved him and wanted to confess, but it was so hard. Just so hard to do it."Marcus..." she called him, then breathed in and exhaled loudly. She had made up her mind to tell him."mm.. what?" Marcus cluelessly hummed."I don't know how to say this, but I think I have to say it after all... Marcus, I l....".She was interrupted by Kathie, who chimed in and stated, "Mr. Marcus?".Marcus turned to her, "mmm?""The assemblyman requires your presence in his house; h
The assembly man's frown deepened at Marcus's request, his brows knitting together. "Do you know these people?" he questioned. "They nearly killed my son. I can't forgive them; they deserve to be punished, even killed. I am considering killing them and feeding their flesh to my dogs."Marcus nodded solemnly, his gaze unwavering as he met the assembly man's eyes. "Yes, they deserve it. That is a heinous crime; your son nearly died. But I know them, they are my friends," he affirmed. "They're not the people you think they are. They're friends of mine, and what happened was just a misunderstanding. They never intended for anyone to get hurt."The assembly man groaned, pointing at Lydia. "But this woman here doesn't feel any remorseful," he said. "She kept telling me that my son deserved it, she kept stepping on my nerves. I can't just let them go; I can't do this for you, please."Marcus smiled and stated, "I know you are just angry, and that you don't mean it. You gave me a whopping $20
Marcus watched with concern as Sophia hurriedly boarded the plane, her sudden departure leaving him perplexed and worried. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong.Feeling Kathie's gentle tap on his shoulder, Marcus turned to face her, his expression still clouded with concern."Let's go," she said softly, her eyes reflecting her own worry, so down.Nodding silently, Marcus followed Kathie, "Uhm, what a long day!" he said to deliberately spark a conversation.Kathie didn't respond and kept walking. They reached the car parked beside the airport. She opened the car for Marcus.Observing Kathie's demeanor as Marcus entered. Her usually bright eyes seemed dull, and her shoulders slumped, and she looked puffy.Concerned, Marcus gently placed a hand on Kathie's arm and asked in a soft tone, "Is everything alright, Kathie? You seem... different."Kathie forced a weak smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before responding, her voice bare
Sophia arrived back in the state, she immediately made her way to her house where her father was waiting for her. She knew she was going to face something big.She entered, holding her breath, and there he was, Mr. Victor Newman on the sofa, sipping tea in a mug. And beside him bowed Joel..."Father?... good morning," she politely greeted him and bowed. Mr. Victor didn't act like he was there; he sipped his tea and focused on the news, which the headline stated, "Mr. Thonks, the billionaire, appoints his anonymous son as the CEO."Mr. Victor chuckled, "Anonymous?.. I wonder why he is concealing his identity, to attack me?"Sophia didn't have the idea of what he was saying. Joel smirked at her, and just then Mr. Victor raised his hand and stated, "who is the man you are with?""Man? Oh yes, my bodyguard," she answered, putting on a fake smile. Mr. Victor chuckled and stood up, then walked slowly towards her."That is not what I heard from the board leaders. Who the hell is that fuckin
"What did you just say, irrelevant people?" Ivan angrily said, as he stepped forward, with an angry motion, but Paulina grabbed him. Then stepped forward."She is dying and needs urgent surgery; she could die if care is not taken.""That is none of my business, we are short of surgeons at this moment, and we really need this nurse right now, the congressman sons were involved in an accident, they could die also," the doctor insisted."But we are the first to reach here, you could just have immediately directed them to another hospital," Ivan argued."Don’t you hear what I just said? I said they are the congressman’s sons, I don’t have time exchanging conversation with you, nurse... meet me in the OR," the doctor said and dashed away.Ivan looked at the nurse, who was also reluctant to go, but they had no choice, or else, they will lose the job."I am sorry, I have to go," the elder nurse said, a woman probably in her late 40s."You know she will die," Ivan stated.The woman nodded, "by
The congressman, his face flushed with anger, approached them like an enraged bull, his eyes ablaze with fury. "Who the hell of nurse abadoned my son?" he bellowed.No one answered him, and just stared at him, he roared again, "I said who the hell___".The nurse cut him, "Here am I?".The congressman hauled, his voice echoing through the corridor. "You abandoned my sons in their time of your need! There nearly lost thier life"."Good things they survive, I know they would", the nurse simply said.The Congressman scoffed, "What?, are you defying me right now?, I said you Nearly kill my sons and you are saying good thing?"."Nothing fatal happened to your sons that required Killing another patient, they were many doctors with them", she told him."my sons health should be prior than all the patient in the company", The congressman man hauled."I did what I had to do to save a life," she retorted, her voice firm and unwavering. "Your sons were not the only patients in need of urgent care.
Marcus excused himself as the ambulance van took Kathie away. Lydia stared at him for some moments before walking closer to him."Are you okay?" she inquired, with no emotions.Marcus scoffed, "Wow, I thought you have left the country, why did you come back, are you worried about me?""I think I shouldn't have come; you look alright," she said and turned to leave.Marcus called her back, "You really came here to check on me? You still love me?"Lydia sharply turned to him, "Love you? Over my dead body, you lowlife man. I just came here to check on you due to our history together. I still have some respect, rather than you lingering around women.""You mention that a lot; I'll call it jealousy," Marcus said."Call it what you want, you cheater," she snapped back."You keep calling me a cheater when that is the best version of you! You are the cheater!" Marcus calmly stated.Lydia scoffed, crossing her arms. She exhaled loudly and stated, "I think it's high time I let you know I know abo
Joel knew his days were numbered after finding out that Lydia was ignoring him. He immediately put in work and successfully scammed her, as she withdrew all her money from her bank using his accomplice. He also decided to run away with the money from her family, the money he took from them in the name of investment.(After 2 days)Lydia sat in her office, resting on the chair, swirling around. She kept regretting her decision, realizing Marcus was innocent all this while. She kept wondering what to do.Then, her door was barged open, and she was startled. Her secretary was breathing heavily and sweating."What the hell is happening?" she demanded, feeling very anxious, sensing that something big was about to happen."Ma'am, you have to see this. The financial management department states that all the money in the server has been withdrawn," she stated.Lydia immediately stood up as she heard this, frowned, and slammed the table. "What do you mean? What are you saying? Who withdrew it?
