Marco yawned as he stretched his arms, trying to shake off the grogginess that clung to him like a heavy blanket. He blinked a few times, his eyes adjusting to the harsh artificial lighting of the airplane cabin. Confusion swept over him as he realized he was still on the plane, which should have landed hours ago.Rubbing his eyes, Marco fumbled for his phone in his pocket, hoping to find some answers to the puzzle. He unlocked the device, and a message notification from his friend David flashed on the screen. "Call me ASAP," it read, urgency dripping from every letter. Marco filed it away for later, he looked to his side to see Lily tapping away at her phone furiously."Why haven't we landed?""Oh, we are about to.""Okay," Marco relaxed as soon as he heard that, he dropped his head back as he groaned.When the plane finally landed, Marco eagerly grabbed his luggage from the overhead compartment and made his way to the airport exit. As he walked through the bustling terminal,

Marco hailed a cab and quickly entered the back seat, feeling the weight of the day's frustrations on his shoulders.He rested his head again and closed his eyes but it wasn't enough. He was too wired to just sit back and relax.He opened his eyes. Marco's eyes wandered out the window, scanning the passing streets. It was then that he caught a glimpse of a neon sign that read "Boxing Gym" in bold, vibrant letters.A surge of adrenaline coursed through Marco's veins as he considered the prospect of releasing his pent-up anger and frustration in the form of a vigorous workout. He needed to hit something, he couldn't face Lily like this.The idea of hitting something, the euphoric feeling of physical exertion, seemed like the perfect antidote to his current state of mind. Without a second thought, Marco leaned forward and tapped the driver's shoulder."Excuse me, sir. Could you please stop at that boxing gym?" Marco requested, pointing towards the illuminated sign.The driver, a middl

Marco sighed heavily as he stood in front of the imposing structure that have been the base of his torture.The school. It was a place he despised, a steady reminder of his struggles to get rid of the one person that has caused him so much pain.He needed the courage to step inside and for once, Marco wondered what people will say about him. He approached the entrance, he noticed the piercing gazes of his fellow students. Their eyes followed him, their whispers cutting through the air like knives. It seemed as though he was the center of attention, a spectacle for all to see. Marco felt uncomfortable wondering why he was the subject of such scrutiny and unwanted attention.As he passed by, people pointed at him as they whispered their theory about why he has been missing for some time.It would have been amusing if he didn't hear the words they uttered.They think Chris ran him out of town.It was embarrassing and it made Marco bitter enough to foam at the mouth.

"I am sorry, what?" Marco asks.Dahlia cackled, "You don't believe it, right?" she asked.Marco nodded."Me neither and if you had told me, I would have called you a liar.""Then how did you find out?" Marco asked."I heard her on the phone in the bathroom. She had no idea someone was there and just started making calls. At first, I heard Thompson and I waved it off. But when she said Chris would kill her if she finds out that he was pregnant with his father's baby, I lost it."Marco stared wide-eyed, he couldn't believe his ears."Raina?" he asked to be sure.Dahlia nodded."My God! What the hell is happening?" he asked himself."I have no idea. I told you that girl was a vicious snake.""Yeah, you did. It's a good thing I got out before she bit me." Marco smiled."What are you going to do about them? Chris hurt you and he set your house on fire. When are you going to get back at them?" Dahlia asked impatiently."This isn't a game of cat and mouse. I am going to do this my way."Dahl

Marco gritted his teeth at the message. He hit his steering wheel out of anger."Shit!"Marco gripped the steering wheel with white-knuckled intensity as he weaved through traffic, his heart pounding against his ribcage. The message on his phone had shaken him to the core, and he knew he had to reach Lily as quickly as possible. Every passing second felt like an eternity, fueling his desperation. Marco's car screeched to a halt in front of his house. He flung open the door and raced toward the front door, his breath heavy and ragged. He burst inside, finding Lily anxiously pacing in the living room. His eyes locked with hers, and he displayed his phone, showing her the message that had set him off.Lily's eyes widened in shock as she read the text. Her lips trembled, and she swore under her breath, the gravity of the situation sinking in. She rushed towards Marco, her voice a soothing balm to his inferno of a mind."Calm down.""We need to get him out.""Not now," Lily said.Marco

The water cascaded down his back as he leaned on the wall with his eyes closed.The tension in his back eased up the longer he stayed under the shower, Marco just stood there as the water poured all over him.After he looked at the picture, he threw his phone aside and went into the bathroom. He would handle the issue with a straight head.All he could think about was how his body ached after the workout. Marco had no idea if he was becoming heartless towards the situation. Chris had hoped the picture would send him running towards them with the hope of rescuing Kelvin but Marco had no interest in doing any of that.Lily was right, he couldn't go charging into the situation, it would only end in disaster, and that is what Chris wanted.Marco was done doing what Chris wanted, it was time to do what he wanted for a change.Marco turned the shower off and stepped out, he hurriedly put on his clothes and searched for his phone.He dialed David's number almost immediately."Hey Marco, I

"Who are you?" one of the men asked.Marco gave him a slight nod, "Thank you for asking. My name is Marco.""Okay Marco, what are you doing here?"Marco appreciated the question, they weren't rude."As I said earlier, I am a shareholder. I am the highest shareholder. It felt unreal that you would have a meeting without me present.""I thought you were out," Ford grumbled."So are we just going to ignore that a high schooler is the highest shareholder?" one of them asked. He looked at Marco, "No offense.""None taken. I take pride in it." Marco answered.His eyes swept the room till they landed on the tear-stained face of the secretary. "Go and pack," he ordered her."Please," she started to beg."Don't make me security. I wouldn't want you to embarrass yourself more than you have already."She grimaced when her words were thrown back at her face. She turned and walked out.Marco faced them."Now gentlemen, I feel like we need to change things around here. I have school and I am not

Ford stormed inside what looked like a warehouse.His partner in crime and Chris stood side by side with Kelvin being tied up."We need to talk, right now," Ford demanded.Chris and Thompson looked up quickly, they looked apprehensive like Ford had brought the police to their hideout."What's going on?" Chris asked.Ford ignored him as he looked at Thompson, urging him to listen and come with him.Kelvin made a sound at the back of his throat and all attention turned towards me.Ford took one look at Kelvin and scrunched his nose in disgust.He walked to the inner room with Chris and his father following him.Father and son looked at each other, a similar expression painted on their faces.Worry.They entered the office and Ford started pacing, he looked agitated."What's going on?" Thompson asked as soon as he saw the worry on Ford's face."What's going on? I will tell you what's going on!" Ford lost his cool but he quickly composed himself."He has to go," he said."Who?""The boy ha

I am not going to lie that I will be sad if you kill him but I understand.""So you will hate me?"Lily shook her head, "I will be sad but like I said, I understand."Marco nodded.Lily stretched out her hand again, this time Marco took it and they went home.

Chris paced the floor, almost wearing a hole in it. The movement made Raina so dizzy."Would you stop doing that?" she snapped.Chris turned to her sharply, "Are you mad? You are the cause of all this.""How? Forgive me for trying to rectify your mistakes." Raina yelled."My mistakes? You are the one who went to confront Marco.""Yes only because I believed your lies."Chris laughed, "Oh don't act so innocent in all of this, you were there through it all.
