2025-03-02 22:48:51She is my daughter!
The revelation came as a shock to Marcus, sweeping him off his feet. 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. Oh no, he's an orphan who knows nothing about the whereabouts of his family right from childhood. Both juxtaposed on a long chair in the lobby. Marcus glanced at her to see the traces of tears still on her face. He swallowed hard, his mind spiralling with doubts, imagining the possibility of the woman beside her being Lilly's biological mother. “I know you're not going to believe me but you have to. I know I have been a horrible mother to have neglected my daughter. I can't believe she looks exactly like me….blood is indeed thicker than water.” She forced a bitter smile. She continued. “It wasn't my fault. Her father was irresponsible. He thought I cheated on him to give birth to her. I was humiliated by him and he exiled from his house swearing to kill me if he ever set his eye on me…” Fresh tears streamed from her eyes again. Nonetheless, She sniffed and continued. “I..I dumped her close to an orphanage..It wasn't my fault..it wasn't..” Her tears increased. “I never wanted…” Her voice trailed off, replaced with shaky sobs. Marcus felt her pain from her emotional narration. She held her closer, consoling her. The woman wept on his shoulder, soaking his shirt with tears as Marcus shoulder became a comfortable place to shed more tears. “I understand ma. It wasn't your fault. Some situations in life make us do things we'll end up regretting. Lilly will be so happy to see you.” Just then, Marcus's phone rang from his pocket. The woman lifted her head from his shoulder and wiped her tears, allowing Marcus ro retrieve the phone from his pocket. He picked it up when he saw the call from the lawyer. “Hello..” Marcus stood up with the phone glued to his ear. The expression on his face shifted to a frown. “You mean the families of the owner of Twinkles hotel and hospital want to sell their properties because the other shareholders withdrew their shares? Why so sudden?” The lawyer had just told him the five shareholders of the properties had withdrawn their shares. Consequently, the families of the deceased owner want to sell the property urgently. That is Sir. Hex and his accomplice at work. “Okay..I'll get back to you.” He concluded and dropped the call. “What’s the matter s..” Lily's mother was interrupted by Marcus's phone which rang for the second time. He picked up without checking for the caller to hear a cracking laughter from the other end. “Is that fear on your face?” The caller bursted into a derisive Laughter. Marcus's lips curled into a smile, realizing it was Sir. Hex. Obviously he planned it all. He dipped one his hand into his pocket and began confidently. “Courage is not the absence of fear but the will to proceed in the presence of fear and who told you I fear your foolish plan. You think I wouldn't be able to afford the properties? You're really an old fool!” Sir. Hex bursted into hysterical laughter. “Don’t be too confident Mr. Worthless. This is the end of your empty pride.” He chuckled. Marcus smiled, his confidence unwavering. “Then let's see who laughs last.” Immediately the call was dropped, Lawyer Badmus and two other people entered the hospital. Lastly, Sir. Hex stepped inside with a mockery smile on his face. “You must be Mr. Hayes.” Lawyer badmus shook hands with him. “Here are the representatives from the families of the owners. They're here to sign the necessary documents to transfer the property to..” “You don't need to introduce him but I’m not letting him buy this place.” Marcus waved his hand dismissively, interrupting the lawyer as he was about to introduce Sir. Hex. “And what authority do you have to tell me not to buy this place?” Sir. Hex stepped forward, confronting Marcus, confident that he can afford anything. “Can you even afford this place? Who knows where you’ve borrowed money just to show off that you belong. I'm sure those who loaned you money will soon be on your trail and you'll be arrested because you won't be able to pay back your debt!” “I guess you two know each other already. That means the transaction will be smooth and easy.” The lawyer looks between Sir. Hex and Marcus. “I know him as my enemy and never will I allow him to take over here!” Marcus repeated, the confidence in his voice unwavering. “But..we already talked about this…Mr. Haye..” Lawyer badmus stuttered, his voice shaky with fear like one under threat. Yes, he's under threat. Sir. Hex had gone to the extreme of threatening to kill his family if he failed to comply to make Twinkles belong to him at all cost. Lilly's mum was in confusion, wondering what was going on but from the conversation, she knew there was going to be trouble. ”You should let go of it dear.” She whispered to Marcus fearfully just like how Lily once did. Marcus remembered it and he thought of giving the place up because the last time he failed to comply, it almost cost Lilly's life. He exhaled deeply, glancing at the women who nodded at him, a way to tell him it's the best decision. “Alright. I give up on it.” Immediately he said it, Sir. Hex bursted into a derisive Laughter, his cheek turned red from the hysterical laughter. “I knew it!” He said between his laughter. “You’re just an empty barrel!”

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 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

Impossible!!! Marcus's eye widened in shock, an unbelievable look glistened in his eye which settled stagnantly on the screen. 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

She shivered with her eye casted downward as the woman had swore to disgrace her so she began shouting. “This filthy sandbag just damaged the expensive gadgets I bought! She's nothing but a little rat who causes trouble around and she must pay for everything….” The fat woman continued ranting, her voice attracting more attention to them. Customers and workers present there gathered around the scene. Whispers and murmurs of abuse polluted the once serene atmosphere. If Lizzy was an ice, she could have melted because the embarrassment was too much for her. Each whisper cut through her heart deeply, making his heart ache bitterly. She felt tears threatening to spill from her eyes. A droplet of tears tickled to the floor from her eye. Marcus gritted his teeth angrily whe

“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 h

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. He's nameless afterall.” The second bit smiled.“Not just nameless, a nameless billionaire!! I want to be like him!” The first boy punches the air happily.“Same here!”***Sir.

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
