One of his hands gripped the steering wheel, popping veins on it while the other hand rested on the gear which he topped, accelerating the car at a crazy speed. The car responded to the incredible speed as its whole body rattled!

It was as if the driver's life was on the line. That was Marcus!

Screeches!!!

The tires of the car screamed, brushing against the tarred road as he swerved the steering wheel and took a sharp turn into a busy street. People who saw the deadly speed at which the car was coming ran for their dear lives.

Marcus marched the brake at Cedar creek layout. He looked at his phone; he arrived at the location prior to the time.

A drive which should normally take 1hrs took him just 3mins! Outrageous!!

He looked at his present location to see bushes surrounding an old storey building.

He exhaled deeply, feeling his heart racing not in fear but the thought of losing Rose.

He took his phone and dialed the strange number.

“Hello..I'm there.” He said with the phone glued to

    “Do wh…” Marcus was interrupted with a hug from Abigail. He was stunned, not knowing how to react. This will be the first time a lady will hug him. His two hands hung in the air for some moments before he slowly wrapped it around her. He swallowed her, feeling her body compressing against his. “I miss you Laurent.” Abigail's tears kept pouring from her eyes, wetting his shirt. Marcus didn't know what to say or react about the whole thing. “I..I miss you too.” He stuttered, his voice shaky with anxiety as he replied. Hearing that, Abigail wrapped her hand more tightly around his waist, shedding more tears. “I miss you more Sweetheart.” Her voice was muffled by his body. Marcus gulped! Abigail reluctantly broke the hug and stared into his eyes, one of her hands still entangled with his hand. “I thought I was going to lose you forever. They said you died at war and your body was never seen.” She sniffed in tears. Marcus squeezed her hand gently and smiled at her. She smi

    Abigail beamed with a smile, occasionally stealing glances at Marcus who focused his eye on the road on the driver seat. She exhaled in relief, her confidence and pride returning because the only person who had always made her feel safe is back.Marcus noticed the glances and glanced back at her with a warm smile. “Is anything the matter dear? He asked, focusing on the road again.Abigail relaxed on the seat, turning away to the window with the smile still on her face. She felt the evening wind blowing her hair backward because the glass window was slightly opened.“You promised me a…” Her ringing phone suddenly interrupted her speech. The smile on her face changed to a slight frown when she saw the call from the monarch of the Augusto family.She glanced at Marcus as if asking for his permission before picking the call.“It’s Lady Augusto.” She said with a slight shaky voice, trying to hide the anxiety in her eyes.Lady Augusto as she preferred to be called is Laurent's stepmom.

    Marcus stepped out from a bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Droplets of water dripped from his hair on the floor. He walked past the gigantic bed which stood at a corner of the room, neatly nestled on it is a blue duvet as if waiting to experience a weight on it.Marcus untied the towel and slipped into a cream coloured nightwear. He stood before the window of the hotel room which was located on the topmost floor of the hotel. Distantly, he could see the view of the city from there and also the cool evening wind brushing against his skin.Abigail and Rose were in another room in the hotel, another reason for Abigail to suspect him. How could he allow his wife to lodge in a different room when they're in the same hotel.“I can't do this.” He shook his head as the thought of how performing the responsibility of a husband to Abigail weighed heavily on his mind.This is what he had always wanted– a woman who would love him sincerely for who he is and Abigail fits into the c

    “I’ll pay for the damages.” Marcus said, his confidence observed from his unflickering gaze as he looked over the wreckage on the floor.Angry turned behind sharply, his anger gaze meeting Marcus's, casting him a condescending look. “And who the heck are you!? An ATM card designated to pay damages? Huh?” He scoffed, turning his back on Marcus, not ready to exchange words with him.“I’ll say this for the last time and after I do, you're doomed!” Andrew warned, making the lady's heart race in fear.“I’m..I'm…” She stuttered, her voice hitching to spit the apology then Marcus intercepted her.“You’re not apologizing when you'll still have to Pay for the damages. Are you?” He raised his brow slightly.“She’s not apologizing!” He stood at her front defensively.“Do you know who I am!? You're interfering in my affair.

It's impossible for the company to manufacture twos of their kind. It's impossible!!” “And if I do?” Marcus raised his brow, his expression unfazed.Andrew laughed softly, looking around. “I’ll foot everyone's bill.” He challenged, overconfident that Marcus can't siphon the hurdle at hand.Everyone gasped, surprise flashing in their eyes.A man among the onlookers skimmed his eye on the onlookers, taking note of the head count.“What!! He must be kidding!!” He whispered in shock before raising his voice, saying. “I just counted approximately 50 heads here. Are you going to pay for everyone!! The cheapest meal here costs not less

This is luxury!!"The astonishing comments continued to fly around.The cars pulled over in front of Netflux and several men dressed in crisp black suits hurried out of the cars and stood beside them.

Luckily, the door is bullet proof so if at all they'll get to him, it'll take long.Laurent looked at the footage with keen interest as it displayed the footage of six hrs ago.
