Hazel at that moment was confused. Ivy said Marcus walked away from her, and Marilyn came to her office to utter nonsense that must be the real reason she came because Marcus didn't give her any attention. She smiled, but before she can jump to conclusions, she needs to hear from Ivy since she saw everything.“Ivy, what did you mean Daddy walked away from her? Did she make Daddy angry or something?” Her voice trembled with a mixture of concern and apprehension. Fearing the worst outcome, maybe she told Marcus to divorce her, but he refused and angrily walked away.Ivy smiled at that moment as she recounted the events of the morning. Hazel listened intently, her eyes widening with each new detail. Including when Ivy's refusal to let Marilyn pet her, Marcus's abrupt departure from the school, and the ominous presence of a man with a camera all painted a disturbing picture.“And when Daddy followed me inside the school and left, I quickly told my teacher I forgot to tell Daddy something.
Willie's eyes widened as he glanced at his phone, seeing Vikki's name flashing on the screen. Without thinking twice, he knew the call carried weight and the master wanted to tell him something important. With a mixture of surprise and concern etched across his face, he hesitated before reluctantly swiping to answer.“What did the master say?”His voice dripped with controlled anger, a reflection of the tension coursing through him. He knows whatever the master wants to say must be something so important that would make Vikki call him; perhaps he wants to know if he has gotten any news concerning who Marcus met with.Vikki's response was measured but carried an undercurrent of urgency. “The master instructed me to relay a message: Stay off Marcus and the man he met with. The Black Mamba will handle it from here.”Willie's facade faltered for a moment, his expression darkening with a blend of disappointment. He understood the implications of involving the Black Mamba Gangs. They are a
Hazel felt her heart tighten as Marilyn's words echoed in her mind again, threatening to shatter the trust she had built with Marcus. The sudden smile that graced her lips was a facade; knowing Marilyn was just lying all along, she wanted her to go crazy and start fighting Marcus or divorce him immediately. That was her plan. She knew she would have to confront Marcus, and that would have been her worst mistake. Just to cover her anger at that moment, she had to lie about going to pick Ivy up from school, and Marcus now thinks she is suffering from exhaustion, which isn't true. She can't say the truth now because he won't believe her.However, she faced Marcus and managed to smile, she could see the weight of guilt etched in his furrowed brow. She gently reached out; her touch was like a cold lifeline in the storm of emotions raging within Marcus. He was disappointed in himself, but Hazel seemed to understand.Hazel utters “Marcus” she began softly as she Said “I need you to unders
Marcus was frozen in his position, his expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion as he processed Tyler's words. How can he say Ivy, his little princess, tigger such abilities because she was kidnapped, and now she can see through people? “Ivy… special? Her powers… true?” Marcus murmured, his brow furrowing in disbelief.Tyler's voice was steady, and his gaze was unwavering as he reiterated “Yes, young master. Ivy possesses abilities beyond what you may have realized. She can see through you, and I'm sure you have experienced it yourself, and that of that lady she called scary and has a dark mind; she saw through her too, and she is right; that particular lady must be up to something, and I want you to be careful, and I think it's still the beginning of your daughter abilities.”Marcus shook his head slightly, trying to make sense of it all. That meant Marilyn was having bad intentions all along, or maybe it was because she helped her. She thought she could have her to herself
Marcus stepped inside the house, his mind preoccupied with the task at hand: keeping an eye on Ivy. It was crucial now, more than ever, given the revelations about her powers, to keep them away from everyone, including Hazel. He will need to be vigilant; he must ensure her safety at all costs.It was the following, and Hazel insisted on personally taking Ivy to school.Ivy, on the other hand, was full of smiles seeing her mother wake up early today, not going to work but taking her to school. It was something she has always wanted, and she is getting it now. Ivy walked closer to Ivy and hugged her. “Mommy, thank you. I know you're worried, but everything will be fine that –.”Hazel immediately interrupted Ivy because she wanted to mention Marilyn, which she doesn't want Marcus to know Ivy told her or that she knows anything. It's a fight between ladies, and she can handle this herself.She didn't want Marcus to come into contact with Marilyn and for the few days she would be restin
After a rigorous training session with Tyler, Marcus felt an electrifying surge coursing through his veins, an inexplicable power bubbling up from within. As Tyler imparted his wisdom, Marcus absorbed it like a sponge, each word igniting a spark of newfound confidence within him without being told he now feels he can take care of everything himself; he doesn't need to be afraid of anything now, with a satisfactory look on his face he Utters.“Mr. Tyler, you're truly amazing. Just one training session, and I feel like I can do anything now. It's remarkable, and I love it. My body feels light, like a feather.”Marcus exclaimed, awe evident in his voice. He wasn't expecting it to be this quick and easy.Tyler's response was a simple smile, reflecting the pride with which he felt Marcus had progressed. He's a fast learner. “Young master, I didn't do much. You're a fast learner. That's how you were able to grasp all of this so quickly. All you need now is to control your breathing, and y
Penelope emerged from her hiding spot, her face a mask of frustration and disbelief. As she confronted David about Marcus's refusal to cooperate, her expression twisted with anger and disappointment, knowing David didn't do enough to support his stand; he just allowed the bastard to walk away freely. “This isn't acceptable.” She declared vehemently, her voice edged with urgency. “The little boy is becoming something else, and we need to break his wings; it can't continue like this anymore.”David, sensing Penelope's agitation, nodded in reluctant agreement. Deep down, he harbored his own thoughts about Marcus, unable to shake the feeling of unease that had settled over him when he was talking with Marcus, and for some time now, something had changed about Marcus. He seemed like a different person, despite his misleading appearance. Something isn't right about him.David was forced to say it out loud.“Something about Marcus has changed a lot; are you not noticing anything?”David
David's eyes widened in surprise at that moment. Penelope knows Hazel would be mad at them if they do this, but why would she think of such a thing? David immediately shakes his head and knows what Penelope can do to him if she knows he wasn't with her on this. “No.. no why should I interrogate you and not wanting to support you; you know I believe in you, just that I'm just worried about how Hazel would react to that.” Penelope's deadly gaze was still focused on David. “You better not back away because of Hazel. If that is your fear, then we'll have to create something that would make her not get mad, and Ivy can help us with that David. We can't afford to let this slip through our fingers. Our future depends on it.” David nods. He can't say no at this point, but to obey, he will just tell Hazel himself without allowing Penelope to know. “I'll do whatever it takes, Penelope. Even if it means playing dirty.” Penelope nods, but she doesn't believe David because she knows how usel
