Amayah and Owen were at the police station waiting for Marcus. Amayah was the impatient one, she could not wait to deal with Marcus and showed him who was the real boss. The fact that Katherine had humiliated her in front of everyone was what was hurting Amayah.
“Do you need anything, sir?” A police man asked if possible, this was the hundredth time he was asking this question.
“No, if I need anything, I would call you,” Owen responded, nonchalantly and the policeman nodded, bowing slightly.
“Sir, we promise to make that man what is his name again?” The policeman asked.
“Loser Marcus,” one of his colleagues answered, and they all burst into laughter.
“We will avenge, sir. If he doesn't pay, we will lock him up,” the first policeman said, and his colleague nodded his head in support.
“We both know he won't have money to pay,” another chimed in, laughing, and Owen chuckled.
“Lock him up in jail for twenty years, until he crawls on his knees, begging for my forgiveness,” Owen said, his voice low and dangerous as he clenched his fists together.
“Your wish is our command boss,” They responded, shining their yellow teeth. They were trying to be on Owen's good side because they wanted promotion and money. Rumor has it, that he's not only rich but very influential.
“Thank you darling,” Amayah said, smiling.
“For what dear?” Owen asked, his voice piqued with curiosity.
“For taking this case seriously.” Amayah responded. Owen leaned, and his lips crashed on Amayah's lips.
At this moment, Marcus had entered the police station, and his face twisted with disgust when he saw both of them. He couldn't believe this was his Amayah, a lady who had once criticized ladies who followed men like Owen because of money, was now the one doing it.
The policeman cleared his throat, and Owen and Amayah broke apart. Owen looked up and when his eyes met with Marcus, he let out a loud mocking laughter, whilst Marcus stood there, his expression difficult to read.
Owen stood up, and he began to encircle Marcus, his hands crossed at his back. “Who’s now in control? I warned you not to cross my path,” Owen said, his voice dripping with venom.
Marcus's expression deepened. “I was not the one that crashed your so-called car, It’s unreasonable for you all to arrest me!” He said, his voice high-pitched.
And Amayah scoffed, she hated the fact he was not begging but rather trying to defend himself despite the tension in the room.
“Attitude, pull it off and admit your mistakes.” She said Marcus's gaze darted to her for a while, and he shook his head.
“Don’t stress yourself babe, I will handle him,” Owen responded, a smirk tugged at his lips and Amayah nodded, smiling.
Owen stopped encircling Marcus and stopped at his front. “You were the one who instigated Katherine, or whatever they call her. So you must compensate for my loss. If you can’t compensate me, then you will be locked up in jail for twenty years or even more,” he said, with a sly smile.
The chief of the police entered inside and everyone bowed down for him except: Owen, Amayah and Marcus.
The mere sight of Marcus made him angry. He hated the fact that he was handsome, tall, and he felt that Marcus had attitudes because he was handsome. He was determined to teach him that being handsome without money was useless.
“Marcus puth, I guess that’s your full name?” The chief police man asked, and Marcus nodded, “Good if you confess to your sins, I will lessen your punishment. Otherwise you will have to face our wrath!”
Marcus snorted, “I need to make a phone call,” he said.
The chief of police let out a taunting, harsh laugh. “I love your nerves. I can’t grant you that request.”
“You'll regret this decision,” Marcus said, his tone firm and unwavering. The chief police officer sneered, his face twisting into a mask of rage.“How dare you threaten me?” he roared, his fists clenched at his sides. But Marcus did not flinch, nor did he beg. He stood his ground, his gaze never wavering. The police officer's eyes narrowed, his anger rising.
“Take him to the interrogation room!” he barked, his voice cracking with emotion. But still, Marcus remained calm, a small smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.
Owen and Amayah began to laugh out loud, they thought Marcus was in trouble right now. The chief police officer called Owen and Amayah to a corner.
“I will retrieve Marcus personnel files and framed his confession, that way he would be locked up in jail.”
“Thanks, I appreciate,” Owen said, and the chief police officer nodded his head. To him, this was no longer Owen’s battle, but also his. He knew Marcus's type, and he knew how to tame them.
He walked towards his office and locked the door, so that no one would interrupt him. The chief policeman opened his computer and pulled up Marcus's personnel file. It was sparse, with only a few basic details listed. No criminal record, no history of violence or trouble making. The chief police officer couldn't help but laugh.
“Owen wasn't lying,” he said to himself. “Marcus is nobody. Just a regular person with no special skills or abilities, it would be far too easy to deal with him.”
However, at this time, in another dark room, filled with computers and monitors, an alarm blared, the shrill sound cutting through the silence. A man sat in front of one of the monitors, his eyes darting from screen to screen. He was sweating, his hands trembling as he reached for the phone and dialed a number. His voice was time-sensitive as he spoke into the receiver.
"General, someone is checking the God of vengeance file!”
Within minutes, the parking lot was a sea of motion, as hundreds of armored soldiers assembled, loading into vans and preparing for the mission ahead. A man with general's epaulets paced around the perimeter, his jaw clenched tight and his eyes scanning the horizon. His heart was racing as he barked orders and checked his watch. Every second that passed felt like an eternity. He knew they were wasting time, but he couldn't risk taking any shortcuts. Every detail had to be perfect.In no time, they had assembled, and they drove off to the police station. The man with the general epaulets sat at the front vehicle, his heart still racing. He turned to face his assistant, whose face was impassive.He cleared his thoart and his assistant raised his head, his gaze locked with his.“It has been years since the God of Vengeance left them, this was the first time they got his information and someone dared check his file?” He said, his voice high-pitched.“Thank God we took your advice and f
“What?" the chief police officer bellowed, his eyes darting from the police officer holding Marcus to the young officer standing next to him. The chief's mind raced, trying to understand what was happening. He couldn't let his staff see his fear, so he kept his expression neutral, even as his heart raced. He had to take control of the situation, and fast. But one thing he knew for sure, the army’s visit means troubles, and he wondered who they must have offended,The chief stood up, straightening his uniform and adjusting his cap. "Lock Marcus up," he ordered the officers, his tone cold and firm. "Keep torturing him until he talks." The officers nodded, their faces hard and unreadable. The chief strode to his office, his mind racing as he donned his jacket and cap. He exited the building and was met with the General, who stood on the steps of the building, his face grim. The chief approached the General, bowing slightly in respect. The General did not smile."What do I owe for this
Kathrine strode into the room, her eyes flashing with rage. She marched straight up to the chief officer and slapped him hard across the face. He let out a yelp of pain and tumbled to the ground, his eyes wide with shock. He couldn't believe that a woman had just struck him, and with such force. He looked up at Katherine, his mouth agape, as he tried to make sense of what had just happened. Who was this woman, and how did she possess such strength?Kathrine turned to the General, her eyes blazing with fury and she clenched her fist. "On what account did you hold the God King?" she demanded, her voice cold and hard. The General replied, "Mr. Owen reported him to the police." Kathrine ground her teeth, her face contorted in rage. "I swear, Mr. Owen will pay for this," she said through clenched teeth. The chief stood there, trying to piece together what was going on. He had checked Marcus’s personal file, but there was nothing there, now it’s quite obvious he had missed important in
Johnson had just remembered something important. He entered his house and made his way to his bedroom, where he took a few items from his nightstand. With a mischievous grin, he returned to the dining room and proceeded to spike the food. Finally, he had Sandra in his grasp, and he intended to make the most of it. Sandra got to Johnson house and to her surprise, she was standing at the front of Mr. Johnson house. She glanced at her phone to be sure she was at the right address and to her surprise she was at the right place. She couldn’t help but wonder why Johnson would choose his house of all locations.She took in deep a breath and adjusted her skirt, and she arranged her hair. “I need to do this for Marcus,” she mumbled to herself, trying to soothe herself.A voice was screaming in Sandra’s mind to run away from here, but she shoved it aside and with her hands trembling she pressed the doorbell. Immediately the door opened and Johnson stood there with his rounded tummy shining hi
Sandra slammed her knee into Johnson's groin, and he let out a howl of pain, releasing his grip on her. She raced to the front door and yanked on the handle, but it was locked. Frantically, she patted her pockets, searching for her phone, but it was nowhere to be found. It was then she remembered that Johnson had yanked it from her hand earlier."Fuck!" she yelled, panic beginning to set in. In the distance, she heard the sound of Johnson groaning as he began to regain his energy. She knew had to get out of there, and fast.She sighted her phone on the floor, a few feet away. She lunged for it, her limbs heavy and uncoordinated. As she reached down, her hand picked her phone, which she just noticed was cracked, and when she looked up, Johnson was standing right in front of her. She stumbled backwards, her legs feeling like lead. The drugs were taking hold, making her sluggish and slow. She struggled to stay conscious, slapping her cheeks with trembling hands. The room was starting t
Johnson felt a surge of fear as Marcus strode toward him, his eyes burning with rage. But he was determined not to show his fear, and stood up to face the man who had invaded his home. He believed that his taekwondo skills would be enough to defend himself, and smirked in defiance. But his smirk vanished as Marcus punched him square in the nose. Blood spurted from his nostrils, and he coughed and spluttered, clutching at his face in pain. This only served to enrage Marcus further, who lunged at him again.Johnson fell backwards, hitting the floor hard. He groaned, his pride wounded as much as his body. But he refused to give in, his stubbornness clouding his judgment. Marcus saw the defiance in his eyes and let out a roar of rage. “How dare you touch my woman!” He roared as he pounced on Johnson, his fists flying, each blow landing with a sickening thud. Johnson groaned in agony, his hands wrapped around his stomach coughing, his face already swollen and bruised. The pain was alm
The Next Day.Marcus and Sandra were still at the hotel. Sandra had just woken up, her head pounding and her memory hazy. The last thing she remembered was Johnson dragging her into his room, but she couldn't remember anything after that. She began to cry, her mind racing with fear and confusion. She thought Johnson had succeeded in raping her, now she had to find a way to free Marcus. She got out of bed and went to the door, opening it slowly. The hall was empty, and she could hear the sound of the ocean from the balcony."Who are you looking for?" Marcus's voice made her jump, and she spun around to face him, her heart pounding in her chest. "You scared me!" she exclaimed, her words coming out in a rush. Marcus just chuckled, a hint of a smile on his lips. "When did you get out of prison?" she blurted out, unable to stop herself. Marcus's smile faded, and his expression grew serious. "Last night," he said, his voice calm and steady. Sandra's mouth dropped open in surprise."Jo
"I agree to marry you, my dear," Don said, his voice smooth and full of confidence. She hadn't noticed that he was standing there, next to her mother. A look of shock passed across her face. It was no surprise to her that Don would agree to marry her - he had always been infatuated with her, despite the fact that she had never shown any interest in him. In Fact he irritates her. "No," she said, more forcefully this time. "I won't marry him and it’s final." She couldn't let herself be trapped in a loveless marriage to a man she didn't love at all. "Why?" her father demanded again, his voice rising in anger. She could feel the tension in the room rising, like a gathering storm. "Because I don't love him," she said, more firmly this time. "I don't want to be trapped in a loveless marriage like you and mother." The words were out before she could stop them, and she instantly regretted them. Her father's face flushed red, and he glared at her. "How dare you!" he roared. She droppe
Marcus dropped the gun on Grey's chest, covering his face with his hands before standing up and pulling his hair back. He walked away, got into his car, and drove off, lost in thought.As he arrived home, he rested his head on the steering wheel, wondering how he would face his parents. He was still reeling from the revelation that his parents, whom he had believed were dead, were actually alive.With a sigh, he stepped out of the car and locked it, noticing the eerie silence. As he entered the house, he flipped on the light switch, and suddenly, everyone screamed "Surprise!"Marcus flinched, taken aback by the sudden noise and the sea of faces before him. He was surrounded by loved ones, all holding flowers and balloons, their faces beaming with joy."What's going on?" Marcus asked, genuinely surprised, and they all smiled.Sandra stepped forward, beaming. "Since your parents are alive, I thought of doing a little celebration to mark the happy news," she explained, and everyone nodde
"I should be the one saying that," Grey sneered, laughing evilly. Marcus stared at him, his eyes blazing with fury, as he moved forward."You dare think of hurting my parents?" Marcus growled.Grey shrugged. "That's the rule of the street: kill to survive."Marcus shook his head in disgust. "Not your own blood, Grey. He was your elder brother, and you dared to do this to him?"Grey smirked. "Spare me the crap, Marcus. You would have done the same if you were in my shoes. It's survival. The rule is to survive. Your father thought he could have all the good things in life and make me his puppet? Never. I took control of my own destiny."Marcus scoffed. "Take control of your destiny? You call this control? Locking up your own family, manipulating and using them for your own gain?"Grey didn't answer, he just shrugged his shoulders, his expression unrepentant."You know one of the things I hate?" Marcus asked, his eyes blazing with anger as he stared at Grey."What?" Grey asked, a hint of
The next day, after breakfast, Marcus set out to Grey's house, parking his car at a distance. He put on his hoodie and stepped out, glancing around cautiously before walking towards the gate. To his surprise, it swung open with ease, suggesting Grey had forgotten to lock it. Marcus entered, still looking over his shoulder, and pushed open the creaky front door.As he stepped inside, his eyes scanned the empty rooms, his gaze darting everywhere. The house seemed abandoned, with no signs of life or warmth. Marcus let out a sigh, confusion etched on his face. Why did Grey's house look like no one lived there?He began to climb the stairs, trying to be careful not to make a sound, his senses heightened as he ventured deeper into the house.Marcus stood in the middle of the house, his eyes scanning the area, trying to locate the source of the mysterious noise he had heard earlier. He finally found the room, but it was locked. He searched for something to open the door, but found nothing
Sandra groaned, trying to sit up, and Marcus rushed to her side, helping her into a comfortable position. She gave him a weak smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Leaning back against the pillow, she whispered, "Thank you."Marcus nodded, adjusting the pillow for her. The silence between them was awkward, until Marcus cleared his throat, forcing Sandra to look at him. "I want to ask a personal question," he said, his eyes locked on hers.Sandra nodded weakly, "Go on."Marcus held her hands, his voice filled with emotion. "Have you ever thought of marriage?" he asked, his eyes searching for answers.Sandra smiled weakly, but this time, it reached her eyes. "Does it matter?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Marcus nodded, urging her to answer. "Please, answer me. Have you ever thought of marriage?" he asked again, his voice filled with longing.Sandra chuckled, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Why are you so interested? When did you begin to care?" she asked, her voice
"What?!" Marcus exclaimed, stunned, and Katherine nodded, swallowing hard. "The report came in when you left to find her," she said, her voice trembling. "It showed that she's carrying a child." Marcus gasped, cursing under his breath as he rubbed his hair in disbelief. "No, no, no," he muttered, shaking his head. He couldn't believe this was happening to him. He didn't need a DNA test to know the child was his. Overwhelmed, Marcus collapsed to the floor, covering his face with his hands. He felt angry at himself, frustrated that he couldn't protect his own child. "I couldn't be there for my own child... what kind of father am I?" he mumbled, slapping himself in despair. Katherine rushed to his side, trying to calm him down. "Stop, Marcus, please," she begged, but he shook her off. "No, I have failed," he repeated, slapping himself harder. "I have failed as a father. What kind of father am I?" he asked, his voice cracking with emotion. Katherine paused, taken aback by his word
Amayah seized the opportunity to escape, dashing outside as Marcus was distracted. She spotted Owen and rushed towards him, relief washing over her. "Baby, let's get out of here! Marcus is crazy!" she begged, tugging on Owen's arm.But Owen didn't budge. Instead, he pulled her close, his hands gripping her waist tightly. "How did you think I ended up here?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.Amayah swallowed hard, confusion etched on her face. "I don't get it," she stammered.Owen let out an evil laugh. "You're truly dumb," he sneered, his eyes glinting with malice.Amayah's eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place. "Wait, you... you tracked me here?" she asked, disbelief etched on her face.Owen nodded, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. Amayah tried to step back, but he caught her, holding her tight. She was trapped, and Owen's grip only tightened as he reveled in his sinister triumph."I didn't just track you here," Owen sneered, his eyes glinting with malice. "
Amayah sprang to her feet, tears streaming down her face. "Johnson, please don't hurt me!" she begged, her voice trembling.Johnson's eyes widened in shock, his mind racing. How could she betray him like this?Amayah held up her hands, pleading. "Please don't rape me!" she sobbed.Johnson's expression turned incredulous. "Are you out of your mind?" he demanded, but Amayah ignored him, her eyes fixed on him with a desperate, crying gaze.She reached out a hand, as if to touch him, but Johnson recoiled, backing away from her. "You foolish woman," he sneered. "You think you can put on this act?"But before he could finish, Marcus stormed over, his face a mask of fury. He grabbed Johnson's collar, yanking him forward, and delivered a swift, powerful blow.Marcus lifted Johnson up again, his fists flying in a flurry of punches. "How dare you think of laying your hands on Sandra!" he growled, each blow landing with precision and force.Johnson stumbled back, his eyes wide with fear, before
Amayah quickly stepped out, her flashlight casting a bright beam as she descended from the porch and circled the house. But she saw no one. As she turned around, she collided with a chest and let out a startled shout.Johnson swiftly covered her mouth, whispering, "Shh!"Amayah pushed him away, her expression disgusted. "You scared me!"Johnson raised his hands in defense. "Not my intention."Amayah rolled her eyes. "Did you see anyone?" Johnson asked, and she shook her head."No," she replied.Johnson nodded. "Maybe it was just one of these animals."As he dragged her inside, Amayah couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching them. She wanted to express her concerns, but knew Johnson would only dismiss her. So she kept quiet, her unease growing with each passing moment.As they entered, they covered their noses in disgust, realizing that Sandra had urinated on herself. Amayah's anger flared, and she walked up to Sandra, giving her a dirty slap. But instead of cowering, S
Amayah felt a sudden sense of unease, as if she was being followed. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around, shining her torch into the darkness. "Who's there?" she called out, her voice firm but laced with a hint of fear.Owen, hiding behind a tree, held his breath, hoping not to be discovered. Amayah took a step closer, her torchlight dancing across the trees, mere inches from Owen's face. Just as she was about to shine the light directly on him, her phone rang, breaking the tension.The ID card flashed "Johnson" on the screen, and Amayah let out a sigh before answering. "What's up?" she asked, turning away from Owen's hiding spot."Where are you?" Johnson's voice asked, his tone laced with concern."Close," Amayah replied, glancing around nervously. "I felt someone chasing after me."Johnson chuckled. "It's just your mind playing games with you. Who would be awake at this time?"Amayah nodded, even though he couldn't see her. "Fine, I'll hasten my steps."As she ended th
