2025-03-02 20:42:55“I have another plan.” Mr. Joe, one of them chipped in with a factitious deadly smile crossing his lips.
Everyone turned to him to let the cat out of the bag. “We’ll set him up. He's not going to escape it.” The man said, his tone laced with the sinister intention in his mind. “How?” Sir. Hex adjusted enthusiastically on his seat, his inquisitive gaze settled on Mr. Joe. Mr joe stood up and walked to him. He leaned closer to his ear and whispered into it. “What!!” Sir. Hex exclaimed with a widened eye. “Is that going to work?!” “Trust me. He's not going to escape it. Let's make that a plan B.” He smiled. The other men wondered what the plan was. Nonetheless, if it'll work perfectly to humiliate and make Marcus hit the bottom rock as planned, it's a good one and a bad one for Marcus. Back at the hospital, Marcus entered Lilly's Ward. The beeping of a heart beat monitor caught his ear as he approached the bed where she laid and stood before it. He stared at him with a painful heart. Lilly laid on the bed in a white clinical gown, her eyes shut in unconsciousness. One could have thought she's dead if not for the heart beat monitor which displayed a vertical zigzag line which shows she's still alive. She had grown lean, her face pale and weary. Marcus sat beside her on the bed, staring at her from there with a painful heart. Seeing her pitiful condition, he was moved to tears but it never fell from his eye though it clouded his eyeball, threatening to spill. He held her hand and forced a bitter smile. Memories of the moment they spent together flooded his mind, making him smile again. “I promise to protect you as my only family but I fail sister. I failed you. Remember when I told you I have no wife and I told you women are ridiculous.” Marcus tightened his grip on her, a wave of emotion surging through him as he speaks “You’re not ridiculous Lily. You're the best thing that ever happened to me…you told us to play a game. The search for a bride..I want to play it Lily, please wake up. Please.” Marcus concluded with a bleeding heart. Marcus stood up to see Wendy's mother staring at him from outside. He met her, standing before her in a way she couldn't see Lily who was on the bed clearly. “I just want to thank you for saving my daughter. I..I don't know how to repay yo....” The woman was appreciative with a shaky voice, overwhelmed by her own emotion. Marcus interrupted with a warm “You don't need to ma. I only did it because it's necessary. You don't need to see it as something huge. It's just my little way of offering a helping hand.” He said. “How’s she now?” The woman smiled, a wave of happiness flooding in her heart. “She is bouncing, even the baby too.” She Chuckled. “Baby boy or baby girl?” Marcus asked, beaming with a smile too. He adjusted closer to her in a way the woman's eye caught Lilly on the bed. “Baby girl.” She answered, her expression shifting slightly. “Oh, she must be pretty and strong like her mother.” He said with the smile still lingering on his face. “Who is she?” She stared in the direction of the ward where was Lilly laid. Marcus turned to the direction, the smile on her face faltered, replaced with a melancholic expression. “She’s my sister.” He said, his voice cold and sad. “What happened to her? Can I go check on her?” “Of course.” They both entered into the ward, the woman taking the lead with Marcus trailing behind her. Each step into the ward took her closer to the bed. She froze! She swallowed hard and blinked her eyes severally as if she just saw a ghost on the bed. Her whole body trembled, seeing Lilly on the bed. “is..is she your sister?” She stuttered, her voice shaky with anxiety. Marcus stood beside her. “Yes ma. Is there any problem?” He stared at her to see the shock on her face. He looked down from her face to her hand to see it quivering like someone beaten by cold. Tears blurred her vision and a droplet rolled down to her cheek, tickling to the floor. “She’s..she..” She sniffed with a shaky voice as more tears streamed from her eyes. The weight of what she's about to reveal pressed down on her. Marcus was shocked and confused, wondering why the strange woman was suddenly crying. “She is what?” He stared at her enthusiastically as if to pull out the rest of the words out from her mouth. “She’s my..my daughter.”

Before he knew it, the woman slumped to the ground, having felt the legs weakened, too weak to carry the weight of her body as the trauma of the situation pressed down on her but Marcus held her before she could get to the floor.“Are you okay ma?” Marcus held her up on both arms, staring into her teary eyes. From the close proximity, he saw the exact image of Lilly from her face– Her pointed nose, sharp blue eye, small lips…they look exactly like Lily's. Could she really be her mother?! Marcus wondered, still confused.Marcus led the woman out of the ward, holding her hands tenderly as if she was her mother.

Mento turned, his eye red like a hungry predator, casting Marcus who had just Pokenosed in his affair an aggressive gaze.“Let go of me you bastard!!” He forcefully flung his hand away from his hold but Marcus gripped it tightly refusing to let go. The smell of alcohol hit Marcus' nose which made him twist his face in annoyance. Obviously, Mento had drenched his system with alcohol and he's blaming the poor lady for his misfortune.“How dare you drink and drive!!” He forcefully released his grip on Mento making him stagger backward a bit. Marcus stamped toward him and slapped him. “How dare you attempt to hit a pregnant lady!”Parrr!!! The slap landed on his cheek, pushing him backward.

Marcus froze! The scene unfolding right before his eyes was unbelievable. His whole trembled along with his lips like someone who swallowed a hot food particles but no! That was not the case. The scene displaying before him was made his heart hurt badly. His right hand held the door knob while a carton of pizza rested on the other hand. His hand suddenly became weak and the pizza slipped from his hand, crashing to the floor in such a way the pizza scattered all over the floor. Some minutes earlier, he was in shock to see a message from his wife telling him to come to five star hotel, room 207 precisely. His joy knew no bounds! Finally, it's time to consummate their marriage of two years but why Mirabelle want it to happen in an hotel? He wondered. Coincidentally, his boss, where he works as a delivery guy begged him to deliver the pizza to a customer at Five star hotel, room 207 precisely. He had thought Mirabelle wanted to celebrate the special night with the package but n

Mirabelle and her new lover rushed to the window to see crowds gathered around the car with cops trying to disperse them. Their Siren wailed continuously in the air. Mirabelle gasped with both hands covering her mouth. She knew the police would soon come to interrogate them. Sir. Hex on the other hand had an indifferent demeanor. He was as calm as a stagnant water and that's because of his high status in the city. He's not only rich but famous. Just as Mirabelle thought, police barged into room 207 with torches flashing from their gun which they pointed at them. “Hand in the air!! You're under arrest!” Their commander instructed, pointing his own gun too. “Sir!!” He called surprisingly after recognizing Sir. Hex. “Lower your guns!” He ordered him men and the men did as instructed. He stepped closer to them and bowed. “I never knew it was you sir!” He said after raising his head. He glanced at Mirabelle then continued. “Someone fell from the window and the receptionist said h

His jaw fell leaving his mouth open like someone who swallowed the whole watermelon. “$2 million dollars!!!” He blurted in surprise, startling Lily who turned to him with an inquisitive gaze. “$2 million dollars!!” She took a step closer, stretching her neck to the phone but Marcus sharply kept the phone and forced a smile to look less suspicious. “Huh! Did I just say $2 million dollars?!” He chuckled and continued with the fabrication. “I mean..I have 2 million followers on TikTok.” He swallowed hard, his gaze meeting Lilly's whose eye grew wider. “Wow!!! You must be a celebrity on TikTok!” Her brow arched, seemingly confused as she stared at Marcus intently as if trying to remember if he had seen him before. “But I have never seen you on TikTok once! I know virtually all the celebrities on TikTok.” Hearing that, Marcus swallowed hard. Obvio

The video had gone viral with many people streaming it. People couldn't see Marcus's face because the camera only caught his back, keeping his identity a secret. People love him more even without knowing his identity. Inside of a long bus were passengers watching the videos too.“Isn’t he the guy called the nameless billionaire from smart tech?!” A boy said beside his friend, watching the video from his phone too.“I don't think so..hold on..I think he's the one. He was wearing this Same shit.” His friend observed smartly, his eyes narrowed to the screen.“But why will he wear the same old clothes and claim to be a billionaire? Isn't that suspicious?” The first boy Said with a slight frown.“I think he loves his identity to be kept secret.

Just fire him!” Marcus cut her off, his tone dismissive and cold.The doctor quivered with fear. He battled within himself, his heart shaking with thoughts, whether to fall to his knees and apologize to a poor Marcus who he just found out to be his boss or to keep mocking him like he was doing earlier.Ava was more shaken! Seeing the stunning and fearful look on their faces, a satisfactory smile tugged at Marcus lips.“I said fire him!” He repeated apathetically, dipping his hands on his pocket and staring at Ava to carry out the instructions. “Or Are you also going to disregard your boss' command?” Marcus chuckled inwardly, flattered by his own utterance. The confidence and power that his utterances exude now is astonishing. He's no longer the poor delivery guy who licks boots just to make a meager amount, he's now extraordinary.Ava's lips quivered to follow Marcus's command. Seeing that, the doctor almost collapsed in fear. His family depended on him. Oh no! His 8 years of strugg

Unscathed, Marcus returned to the hospital. He once again stood before the window of the emergency ward to see Lilly resting on the bed, her eyes shut in unconsciousness. Seeing her in such a deteriorating state, Marcus' heart bled painfully. Her health condition seemed not to change a bit.“You’re here Mr Marcus.” The voice of the doctor in charge of Lilly's treatment came from behind.Marcus turned to see him staring at him, his expression was pitiful and helpless. “I’m..I’m so sorry to announce that the free treatment charge for your sister has been withdrawn. You need to start paying for..” “By who?” Marcus interrupted him, a hint of anger in his voice.“I don't know sir..only the manager knows.” The doctor said, his voice wavering with anxiety.“Call me the manager now!” Marcus instructed authoritatively, the command in his tone amazed the doctor. He had never seen a man looking so poor and arrogant!Was he really expecting to call the manager? His status isn't even worth a qu
