Marcel groaned, he held his head. It felt heavy."What..how..." Marco muttered as he looked around.He was in a grand room, an unfamiliar place to begin with. He looked around trying to see if he could see anything he knew.Marco held his head again as it throbbed, his mind tried to remember what happened to him."Mother..." he held his tongue. Marco gritted his teeth as the events leading to this replayed in his mind.Did Lily drug him with chloroform?How the hell did she even get that?Marco tried to stand but he fell to the bed as soon as he heard someone at the door."I know you are awake," Lily said.Marco didn't move an inch, he could hear her walking in the room and opening the blinds but he didn't bat an eyelid."Don't make me drench you with water," she warned.Marco sighed, there was no use now."I am mad at you.""I know, I drugged you but I had no choice."

Marco struggled to pick his jaw off the floor, he tried to find the right words to say but they failed him.He kept staring at the man who was tied up, a part of him felt nothing but satisfaction in the way the man was suffering."What do you say?" Anthony asked.His brows raised in Marco's direction, he wanted to see what Marco was capable of."He killed my father," Marco said.Anthony nodded. Marco said nothing after that, his head was in overdrive.The longer he stared at the killer, the more angry he felt. A tiny growl escaped him surprising Anthony."He killed my father," Marco repeated.He looked down to see the gun Anthony was giving him, Marco gulped and took it with slightly shaky hands. He held the object in his hand as it weighed on him, it felt strange. Marco had never held a gun before in his hands."What are you waiting for?" Anthony asked.Marco looked at him, "What?""Pull the trigger," Anthony ordered.Marco's eyes widened, he stared at Anthony wondering why his godf

The ride home was silent and brooding for Marco. His mind was in high gear for all the thoughts that gathered in his head. Anthony drove, and the radio played lowly. Marco looked at Anthony but the man didn't pay attention to him.

Marco still found it hard to believe that his father was so cold-hearted that he would do something like this.A thought still nagged at Marco, he turned to Anthony. "Did you mean what you said about who shot my father?"Anthony nodded, he faced the road with a slight hum in his tone.Marco narrowed his eyes at him, he wouldn't say who it was no matter how much Marco persisted which made him assume he was the one who did it.Marco shook his

"Let go of me!" Marco yelled at the top of his voice.He fought his attackers, they swarmed him. Marco swatted them away and backed up.They didn't relent, they grabbed Marco as he slipped from their grasp and slid further away to the bed."Who are you, people?" he asked.There was silence, the silence was so still that Marco could hear his heartbeat, it was so loud and he thought for a moment they could hear it too."You want the hard way or the easy way?" the gruff voice asked him.Marco shook his head, "get away from me." he threw his hands like it was enough to make them go away."The hard way it is." "No!" Marco yelled, he hoped he was loud enough for someone to hear him."Stay away!" his voice increased.The men in black moved closer, ignoring his warning. They moved fast.Fear seized him, and Marco struggled to breathe as they advanced on him.He stepped backs trying to run but it was impossible."I said, who are you people?"No one answered him, he was beginning to fear for hi

Marco glared at the man in front of him."What the hell?" he growled.Anthony shrugged with a smile, Marco watched him with a fierce gaze. Anthony was nestled comfortably in an armchair as he smiled.Marco felt anger take over the fear he was feeling before, "Nice job, Marco.""You are yet to explain this to me.""I told you I will start teaching you, consider this your first lesson."Marco let out a growl, "Nothing about this is okay.""I never said it will be." Anthony stood up and barked out an order to his men."Untie him."The men scrambled to do his bidding while Marco watched with bitterness on his face, he was half tempted to kill the man for all of this.Marco limped after Anthony, "What the hell was that? Did you have to kidnap me to teach me?""All of this is necessary, Marco. I don't enjoy kidnapping men from their beds.""Really? Could have fooled me."Anthony chuckled, he stopped short when he got outside. "Marco, when I said to teach you, I meant that I would show you h

Marco's jaw dropped open, he stared at Anthony before he burst into laughter."You let my father name me that?"Anthony shook his head, "Relax, it's a nickname. We don't disclose our names like that. It's mostly for security reasons.""So people didn't know my name before I was sent away?" Anthony nodded, "They only know Hydra.""What is my real name?""Giovanni Dinero," Anthony announced with a smirk on his lips.Marco absorbed the name, "That sounds scary.""It can be, if you utilize it well." "I like Hydra better," Marco said.Anthony grunted but didn't say anything. A laugh escaped Marco as he wondered what went through his father's mind to name him that."What's funny? Anthony asked.Marco bit his lip, he had no idea how he wanted to approach this."This is all too fancy, I mean why go to all the lengths to hide me from the world if his death was going to expose me in the first place?"Anthony stared at him, his eyes widened by a fraction when he heard the question."I mean, it

"When I tell you that you are crazy, believe me," Lily mumbled.She rested her head against the headrest and covered her eyes with a sleeping mask.Marco grunted and did the same, it was going to be a long flight.Marco and Lily's flight touched down at the bustling airport, and they both let out a sigh of relief. Stepping off the plane, Marco felt the warm breeze of London enveloping them, and excitement filled his nostrils.Lily, with a slight yawn, turned to Marco and said, "You know, after this long flight, we should go rest a little before we go to the big house."Marco, however, seemed hesitant. "I understand that you need rest, Lily, but I need to take care of it now. If we get it done quickly, we can then relax and have a great time leading up to the prom back home."Lily smiled understandingly, knowing how important it was for him to come here. "Alright, I get it. Let's do what we need to do first, and then we can enjoy ourselves without any worries."They collected their

Marco asked.He got up gently, thankful he had slept with his boxers.He put on his shorts and headed downstairs, well aware that Anthony was following behind."Marco," the man questioned.Marco went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water."I am talking to you, boy."Marco leveled him with a bored look, "What do you want?"Anthony stepped towards him in a threatening manner."I told you how I felt about sleeping with my daughter.""Was this before or after you shot my dad?"

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.

He trusted Lily's decision, but this situation was unlike anything he had ever experienced.

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.
