He closed it again when the light threatened to blind him. Marco struggled to piece together the fragments of memory leading up to this moment. His head throbbed in protest, intensifying the haze that clouded his thoughts.Marco managed to open his eyes, he scanned the room and frowned when he realized he was the patient.He caught sight of Lily sitting by his bedside, her face etched with worry. The doctor stood at the foot of the bed, her gaze shifting between Marco and Lily. Marco groaned when he felt his head splitting in two."Marco! You're awake," Lily exclaimed, reaching out to take his hand. "Thank God."Marco winced at the pain that shot through his body with the movement, but he managed a weak smile. "What happened? Why am I here?"The doctor stepped forward, her voice calm but Marco

"What is it?" Lily asked.Marco shook his head slowly, his eyes still glued on the screen.The messages stared right at him."Marco, what is it?" Lily asked more urgently.Marco was silent, he had no idea how to feel about the message, it was a threat from Chris.He turned the phone towards Lily for her to see for herself. Lily's eyes widened when she read the message."Jesus Christ!" she said.Marco nodded, the gravity of the situation dawning on him. It was no longer a high school rivalry. This was a full-blown war."What are you going to do?" she asked.Marco sighed to himself, he didn't think it would get this far. Chris was more dangerous than he thought.He locked his phone and kept it to his side, he had no idea what he was going to do for now.Marco looked down at his leg in a cast, "I can't do anything for now till I get better.""I agree."Silence ensued, and Marco gritted his teeth.

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. His words left a mark on Marco more than he thought he would.Marco shook his head like he couldn't believe it, in just three hours, his life has turned into an episode of the Godfather movie.This is what his father had been up to?Deciding who lives and who dies while he sits in the big chair with a smile on his face. 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

"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.

The voice bellowed startling Marco from sleep, he gazed with sleepy eyes into the eyes of Anthony.Marco looked around him and discovered that Lily was still sleeping with the sheet covered but it would take a fool not to guess what they had done.He sighed, not making a move."I believe I asked a question," Anthony said."You know we live together, were you expecting something else?" 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?"

Marco said nothing.He just stared at Lily wide-eyed."You what?" he asked.Lily shrugged, "I thought we could sit down and talk about us when this is all over but the issue with my father is hanging over my head."Marco took a step closer, "Lily,""No, hear me out."Marco kept mute and just listened, Lily took a deep breath."I love my father, I do but what he did is unforgivable. 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. "Stay here, Marco," Lily said, her voice trembling slightly. "I need to grab something from upstairs."Marco nodded, trying to hide his anxiety. He trusted Lily's decision, but this situation was unlike anything he had ever experienced. He had no idea what to do.As she disappeared up the stairs, he was left alone with his thoughts and the haunting s

You are the cause of all this.""How? Forgive me for trying to rectify your mistakes." Raina yelled."My mistakes?
