At that moment, Robert's phone rang. Seeing it was the young master, he answered the call immediately. His heartbeat increased, and he put the phone in his ear.“Hello, young master.” Robert said. The disappointment in his voice was unmistakable; he knew why the young master was calling, and he doesn't have any answers to give.Marcus wasted no time, as he went straight to the point. “Robert, tell me you have something to tell me, ever since I was away, you’ve gotten the lead to bring down the person behind Marilyn. Tell me you have everything that we can work with.”Robert, feeling the weight of the question in his heart, He shook his head in disappointment. He didn't have anything the young master was asking for. With a low, disappointed voice, he uttered.“I’m so sorry, young master. I have failed you. All the contacts I called and those who promised to look into it disappointed me. Some provided wrong information; others said they didn't know anything. I tried calling you to te
Marcus answered the call with a curious look on his face. Something tells him the caller would be the person who kidnapped Hazel; perhaps it might be Marilyn herself; he would not be surprised if she was the one calling him. He glanced at the unfamiliar number before bringing the phone to his ear.“Hello, who is this?”He asked, his voice steady but laced with a hint of curiousness as he awaited to hear the voice of the person. His hand held his phone tightly as he awaited, but after some seconds, he still hadn't heard from the caller. Marcus then says it again.“Who is this? You called me, and you refused to say something.”At that moment.On the other end of the line, Willie nodded to himself. He decided to keep quiet for some time so he could put fear in Marcus and he wouldn't dare say nonsense. From the look of things, it seems he has gotten it, so he decided to get straight to the point.“Marcus, is it me the one who holds something so dare to you? You can call me, Willie.”He
At that moment, Marcus turned to face Tyler, his expression intense. Without being told, he could tell the young master wasn't happy, and the call he just received was from the kidnapper who held his wife, he couldn't help but feel disappointed in himself.Marcus utters.“Stay on standby.” He instructed his voice firm and filled with all seriousness.“I'm expecting a call, and I can't waste any more time. When I receive it, we will be going to the location immediately.”Tyler nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation, and he took a step back, ready to act anytime he was called upon. That is the only thing he can do now.Marcus then brought out his phone and quickly dialed Robert's number. He knows that to make everything quick and easy for him, Robert will be the only one who can get such an amount of money quickly without breaking a sweat. Even though he was mad at everyone around him, he needed them now. At this moment, every little help he can get will go a long way.At
Tyler drove Marcus to the location where Marcus was supposed to pick up the money without wasting any time; he knew that was what he could do at that moment. The pickup was successful, and Marcus retrieved the bag of cash without any issues. After ensuring the money was securely in his possession, Marcus decided to call the number Willie had given him. He took out his phone, dialed the number, and waited for Willie to answer.The phone rang twice before Willie picked it up.“Hello?”Willie's voice was cool and, at the same time, serious. He wasn't surprised at how quickly it took Marcus to get the money; he knew Marcus would not dare disobey when his wife was with them.With a worried voice, Marcus uttered.“It's Marcus. I have the money,” Marcus said, keeping his voice steady despite the tension he felt.There was a brief silence on the other end before Willie spoke again. “Is it all there?”“Yes, it's all here. Every cent”Marcus confirmed.Willie paused, seemingly considering som
Marilyn's cheeks were raised, almost covering her eyes. Her head was full of nasty thoughts of what she was going to say to Hazel that would hurt Hazel and at the same time make her cry to the point she would want to kill herself. without being told she could tell Hazel she loves her husband, and at the same time her husband loves her, she needs to come in between them. She started wondering how she was going to have s*x with Marcus; she's going to have a great day; she could feel it already.She faces Willie with a smiling face and uses her hands to order him to bring the chair closer. She wants Hazel to see her face when she is talking to her.Willie at that moment obeyed Marilyn immediately. He didn't want to give Marilyn any room to start suspecting him because his best hands were not here. He hasn't been able to reach them ever since he sent them to get the identity of the man Marcus met with, but they have not responded or even answered his calls.Marilyn was finding it diffic
Willie’s patience at that moment was wearing thin.His tone grew even more menacing; he couldn't believe Penelope would have the guts to demand anything from him. She is supposed to keep quiet and do whatever he wants, but she is doing more than herself now and he can't tolerate that.“Listen to me, Penelope. If you don’t put Ivy on the phone immediately, something very bad will happen to Hazel. Now, don't say I didn't warn you; you have one minute to do so.”Penelope's face was drained of color. Her eyes widened in shock, and her breath caught in her throat. She felt a wave of fear running around her entire body, but she forced herself to stay composed. She couldn't risk Hazel's safety; she just couldn't risk it. With a shaky voice, she called out.“Ivy! Come here, please.”Ivy, who walked towards her with bright eyes, hurried into the kitchen. She looked curiously at her grandmother, who held the phone out to her with a strained smile. “It’s for you, sweetheart.”Penelope said, her
Tyler raised his head, his face filled with anger and, at the same time, determined that the young master wants to entrust another mission to him, and this time he was not going to fail him no matter what.He placed his hands on his chest, and he quickly bowed his head. He had never been this determined before.“Young master, I can assure you that everything ends today, regardless of who they are. Everything ends today.”Marcus knows Robert must have made his move or gotten some information already; soon everything will be exposed; all he needs now is the call so he can make his moves.At that moment, his phone vibrated, and Marcus quickly took it up and opened it. It was a text message from an unknown number that contained a location and with some words “come here alone”Marcus's eyebrows push up immediately, and he knows it's showtime. He quickly shows Tyler the location.“Here is the location. I will be going first in a cab. They are waiting for me outside. They said I should come
Marcus slowly walked closer to the front of the car. Something tells him the documents they wanted him to see would contain some pictures inside.It might be Hazel's picture; couldn't it be they had done something to Hazel? At that moment, Marcus squeezed his fist so tight that his lips started shaking. He wouldn't tolerate that if he sees any marks on Hazel's face, he's going to kill all of them.He did everything they wanted him to do, and if they dared lay their hands on her, all hell would break loose.Marcus slowly opened the bus and collected the documents he was supposed to collect. “I have it now.”Marcus said it with a bit of anger written in his voice.The man responded.“Good, now open the documents and read them properly, then sign them immediately.”Marcus nodded his head as he carefully opened the documents.He was frozen in his position as he started staring at the document in his hand. The legal jargon swirled before his eyes, making no sense to him even though it l
