Mark Gustave: The heir they never expected Chapter 11
“Dave Woodsward, you can do better, don’t you think so?” Mark smirked before replying.“What do you take me for? A fool? How stupid of you to think I wasn’t going to know you were the one on the other side of the call.” As soon as he spoke, Dave’s jaw dropped.He no longer had that fighting spirit, the rage with which he had used to call suddenly disappeared.“What, you can’t talk any longer? You had better talk, cause I’m willing to repeat all those words I mentioned at the supermarket.” At that point, Mark was willing to trash out all what he had kept in mind. It was quite unfortunate for him because Dave turned off the phone without revealing himself.Mark had his phone scotched to his ears, waiting for someone to speak when the call suddenly got disconnected. “Oops, he wasn’t man enough to defend himself. I guess I’ll just go back to bed and have a sound sleep.He switched off his lights and went to bed, and later on wrapped himself in the duvet. The young man was unable to find

“Are you so afraid that you prefer to look away?” Hailey snapped, still keeping her eyes fixed on Mark.“Be bold for once, forget my dad and my future husband is around and admit what you came here for,” Immediately she uttered, Mark’s lips lightened up, but it didn’t take a long time for him to quickly adjust his face.“That’s enough daughter,” Roger said, raising his hands in the air to stop her from ranting, “He is here on my friend’s behalf.” The last part of his speech was low, calling for his daughter’s attention.“Stay right here, and make sure you don’t move an inch, I’ll be down in a minute.” After addressing Mark, he quickly took the stairs.It was now Mark against Hailey and her good for nothing future husband. He was cutting his stake but it seems like his presence disturbed him from doing so. Coupled with the fact that he discovered he was the one who made the call.“Tell me, how are you feeling right now? You’ve lived in this house for close to three years and you only

At the centre of the Blue and Rain hotel, a shy, 5,6 inch man stood, dressed in black over black suit, with his hands loosely folded behind his back. He had kept that position in the last ten minutes, waiting for the most important guest of the day.The man in black was none other than Mark Gustave, the most despicable son-in-law of the Carter family, who was assigned a task. He had his adrenaline pumping with deep pressure when his father-in-law had asked him to join him in his office through a phone call which lasted only a few seconds.The young man had done nothing wrong apart from welcoming the richest family at the hotel login.“Father, you requested my presence,” With his voice trailing off, Mark made sure to bow before his in-law. His hands were straight, his head focused like someone who was before an officer.“Who gave you the audacity to welcome Mr Woodward and his son? Do you think you were up to the task?” He finally raised his head, leaving his everly scattered files on

Mark stood in front of the lady he called a wife, and couldn’t remark her. She had suddenly transformed into a stranger. A bitter pill he couldn’t explain.“Sign the papers and leave now,” Dave said, suddenly disrupting his long thoughts. He came back to life and then took a deep breath, after which he carefully approached her. He had his one hand tucked in his pocket and also in search of what to say.“I have tried my best to make this marriage work. But you didn’t give us an opportunity. I guess you are sending me out because of money…” He was about to complete his sentence when a yell came from Hailey.“Mark, we have no time. Before your arrival, we were having a good moment. Sign the fucking papers and get lost.” She said, her forehead creasing.This statement had Mark gulp. It’s not that she had never yelled at him. But the reason was outrageous. He had never imagined that their three-year-old marriage was going to come to an end in such circumstances.What could he do or say? H

“But I did nothing, I was just giving you a helping hand.” Mark took some distance away from the girl’s clothes before admitting.“Your father,” She said pointedly, “Get your ass off here. And if you must know, there’s no house available for you.” She said and focused on what she was doing before his arrival.“But it’s written on the door that it’s for rent. I’m sure it hasn’t been taken yet,” “You are right, it’s written there that it’s for rent, but I won’t rent it out to you.” She affirmed.“Why won’t you?” He asked hopelessly.“Hahaha,” She mocked, “Are you seriously going to ask that stupid question? Look at yourself and tell me if it’s worth renting my apartment to a worn out dude like you.” As soon as she uttered, Mark looked at himself. He wanted to know what was wrong with him.“What’s bad about me? I don’t see any reason why you are refusing to lend me the house.” He said.“Look how tattered you are, do you think I have the intention of giving out my house to someone who wi

“Sorry, did you say something?” Mark came a little closer to be sure she repeat her question. The lady stood, her hand placed on her waist and she looked at him seductively. Her red lipstick giving her the look of a goddess.When no response came from her, Mark didn’t force himself, he was standing in front of his door and kept gazing at the beautiful damsel.She pushed him and came inside, stopping by the huge metallic board, “I just asked a question but you didn’t reply. Aren’t you struggling with your heater? Or you haven’t yet tried it out?" The second question came in.Mark was taken aback as he assumed she knew what conditions the apartment was in, but still decided to rent it out without getting the problem solved.“Do you mean you were aware of the heater having a problem but you still decided to have it rented without getting its problem solved?”“You know fully how important the heater is at this crucial moment. We are in winter, I don’t have to remind you what it can cause

“You should increase your speed now, there are some folks I won’t love to see any longer.” Mark ordered, dismissing the previous question. His heart sank again into depression, it’s at that moment he knew how painful it was to lose someone you loved dearly.He could still remember how he came into contact with Hailey, the naive lady who took him under the heavy rain and gave him a room in her father’s apartment although he wasn’t in accordance. He always asked her to send him out, he believed one day will come when his daughter will tell him she was interested in him. He had to be scared, although looking tattered, Mark was an epitome of beauty. Given that he was well built, he happened to be every woman’s dream.“Young master, are you okay? I can tell there’s something…”“Keep up with the ride, forget about me, I’ll be fine.” He mentioned, dismissing any other statement from his right hand man.They reached the car shop, and as usual, Mark asked him to keep his distance. He didn’t

“Mr. Mark Gustave, would you be able to prove where you got the money to buy this car?” The officer stared right into his eyes before questioning. “There’s no point adding Mr to his name, commissioner, he is just an ordinary thief who stole from the hotel to get this car.” Roger chirped in, “There’s even no point asking him further questions. You should hold the car in your custody, and if in 21 days he is unable to demonstrate where his income comes from, then my team shall sell the car and refund the money he stole.” Mark had his hands loosely folded behind his back. He had nothing to say, that’s because the money he had used to buy the car was the money he had done several other side businesses. He wouldn’t admit it there because it would involve lots of people.“I see you ain’t willing to speak,” The commissioner snapped, “In that case, we are going to hold the car and after 21 days, we would sell it out.” Mark gulped hard while hearing this.Anyway, he was a man who didn’t atta

How stupid of you to think I wasn’t going to know you were the one on the other side of the call.” As soon as he spoke, Dave’s jaw dropped.He no longer had that fighting spirit, the rage with which he had used to call suddenly disappeared.“What, you can’t talk any longer?

“You’re joking right?” Hailey smirked, cupping her hand on her mouth, “Who the hell would hire Mark as a spy? The guy isn’t doing well for himself, do you think someone would use him?” She said, bring out a point.“Sure, you might be right. But why then did he…” Lost in his thoughts, he was kind of intelligent enough to know he didn’t have to spill out what he had in mind.“Then why? Is there something you aren’t telling me, Dave? Did Mark do anything that made you doubt about his personality?”Immediately the question was asked, Dave raised his head and pretended everything was going on well. “Humm, there’s no point for us talking about this anymore. I’ll go back home now, my dad should be waiting for me.” He said politely.“Okay, let me see you out,” Hailey accompanied her fiancé and got back to the living room when his car had left. After a short while of reflecting on all the questions asked by Dave, she pushed it to the back of her mind and concentrated on her series.Dave parke

“Young man, you can go home now. Make sure to be present tomorrow morning before 8 am, I don’t have to remind you of what is going to happen if you don’t come here at that time,” Lloyd frowned before expressing himself.“Yes, Master, I know I would lose my job if I don’t show up early.” Mark was fast in bowing while admitting.“Good,” After the middle-aged man mentioned, Mark took his leave. He had other pressing things to do, things like returning back to the Toyota shop and witnessing Dave try to cheat.From Lloyd’s house to the boutique was a twenty-minute walk, but he rather took a taxi as he wanted to arrive quickly. Unfortunately for him, when he arrived, Dave was nowhere to be found, neither was his Range Rover parked in the corner. He assumed that the dude took his leave.“Humm,” Mark’s shoulders dropped as he held his phone in his hands, with no way for him to take out pics. Maybe getting some pics and wiring them to Hailey was gonna change the way she felt about him.“Common

“Young master, can you tell me what you’re doing here? How the hell did you become Mr. Lloyd’s driver?” Badmun sent him a message while focusing his direction on him.Mark opened the message and could tell Badmun was furious. He was about to reply to his text when another message came in.“I thought you wanted me to keep the secret away from the master, what then are you doing here? Do you want him to fish you out?” He gulped, thinking of what to reply.“I’m sorry, Badmun, but there was no way I was going to deny his offer. I had no idea I was going to end up as a driver, but all I can say is that I’m not gonna be resigning anytime soon.”“What?! Have you gone nuts? The master would walk him out anytime soon and do you think he isn’t going to notice you?” Badmun sent another message, making sure to type very much faster.In the end, Badmun didn’t know what he was after. Whether he was in support of Mark hiding himself from his father or what. This is someone who had pleaded with him

“What are you doing here?” Said a female voice. Mark had taken a seat opposite the hall just so he could digest what he heard. It’s not like he trusted Lloyd on a scale of 100. He always knew that he wasn’t loyal but wanting to bring down your friend’s business? That was bad!“What are you doing here?” Hailey repeated her question, this time around, she made sure to tap him hard on the shoulder. He gasped before turning to her.“Hum…” He didn’t have anything to say. At this point in time, he couldn’t even formulate a sentence.“You were even looking at my boyfriend’s car, do you think you will be able to get something like that for yourself? It would take you years,”“Hailey, would you mind keeping your distance? I thought you wanted a divorce? Why are you pestering my life even after obtaining a divorce?” He questioned politely.“Why would I pester an underrated being like you? Do you think I have the slightest time for this? I don’t just want you to lay your filthy eyes on his car,
