Marcus arrived at his mansion a bit happy that Chris Gibson, the chief prosecutor in New York, was willing to help him out in his mission to bring his enemies down. That was just one part of his plan that had been sorted out. He had his men go pick Lori's grandmother and brother up also which had lessened his workload. Now, he only had one other area to pursue and that was the actual catching of the Black's doing anything illegal in the eyes of the law. He wasn't sure yet how they were going to get that piece of information when they didn't have a mole inside their company or anyone at all who was close enough to them to be involved in what they were doing and inform Marcus of their deeds.

He leisurely walked through the hallways of his home on his way to his room, still thinking of what he could do to get to that family when a walking and breathing answer popped up in front of him. Her raven stood out from the white gown that she had on and the frown that found its way to her face wa

    After a moment of hesitation and thinking, Rachel had made up her mind. She looked at all the men in the room, showing her firm stance on the answer she was about to give.“I'll do it. I'll go see Davon."Elias groaned in disapproval as Marcus sighed triumphantly at Rachel's decision. He gave her a small yet dignified nod thanking her for trusting in his plan when Elias walked up to her and held her by her shoulders as if trying to bring her back from an unyielding spell.“Rachel, you know if you do this you won't be safe anymore. We would help but are you willing to risk your life and your heart just for this? We can find another way. A better way. Think about this."Rachel stood up matching her godfather.“Like you said uncle Elias, it's my life and my heart. If I choose to bring down the person that hurt me, that's my decision. I want to do this and I have all of you so I'm sure I'll be fine in the end."Elias looked into her eyes, hoping to find a shred of doubt or fear but when h

    After Rachel left the mansion, tensions rose as no one really knew what would happen when she met up with Davon at the discussed meeting point. Marcus went back inside and then to the room that was already set up for the surveillance. Lori was already there tweaking with some of the equipment as Marcus and the rest of his family walked in. They all stood around casually watching the large screen in the room that showed the back of the car seat and played the audio of Rachel's crumpling shirt and the soft purr of the car as it moved.Elias took a deep breath as he watched the live video while Marcus thought to himself. Rachel was still in the car, currently on her way to the destination where her old lover would be waiting for her. He wasn't sure she could handle it even with all the times she assured him she could but Marcus decided to close off his doubts and trust her. If she could trust him enough to do this then he could return the favor.

    Several days had passed and still Rachel and Marcus kept in contact with one another. They spoke everyday with Marcus, his family and Lori combing through every piece of video or feed they could get from her time with Davon. Once Rachel entered the Black mansion she was met with love and care but only one person showed her none of those. Alexandra Black. She was not necessarily cold to Rachel, nor did she hate the girl but she did keep her at arm’s length especially after her son had told her that she escaped the Wei’s and in turn that Marcus of a runt. Hence, her distrust of the girl. Rachel had tried to get on the woman’s good side but so far nothing was working. She gave up and decided to focus her efforts on Davon. Someone who was already in her clutches. For the most part Rachel spent a lot of time with Davon, always asking questions and prying into his personal life. This had caused some certain situations to occur such as Davon reading a message wrongly and trying to make lov

    Davon quickly pulled Rachel away from the front side of the building towards a huge truck. He turned around it and bent down, causing Rachel to do the same. He looked at her, slowly regretting his decision to bring her along.“Stay down and don't say anything. When the opportunity arises I'll get you out of here. You won't get caught." He grunted at her, willing her to listen to his words carefully. Like before Rachel had no idea what to say. She could only give him fervent nods, her mind going into overdrive when she realized that she was about to be in a shootout between the cops and the cartel. In all honesty it was a bit much for her to handle at the moment especially when she had never been in this situation before. It was jarring. As Rachel was trying not to have a panic attack due to her predicament, a voice rang out through the building. He was using a megaphone.“Come out with your hands up and weapons on the ground. We know how many of you are in there and who exactly runs

    As one relevant gunshot resounded in the large warehouse, a body dropped and blood spilled all over. One of them had fallen. One of them had failed. One of them had won.As Davon laid on the ground withering in pain due to the gunshot wound in his right shoulder that removed the gun in his hand, Marcus let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Even though he was in slight shock at the fact that he had actually shot a person, he didn't let his guard up and kept on pointing his gun at Davon as he walked closer and kicked the nearest weapon on the floor away from the man. He was too dangerous to leave a weapon around even though he was wounded severely. “Bastard! I hope you're happy now.” Davon screamed at him, gripping onto his bleeding shoulder. “You have her and all the wealth that comes with her. Don't you already have enough? Are you that greedy?” Davon said, trying to provoke Marcus into making a mistake."Don't try to patronise me Davon. I'm the one who has a gun to your fa

    Marcus’ eyes fluttered open at the sound of footsteps running around his room. He sat up feeling a bit better than he was the day before. The day that it had all gone down. Not as planned but he was better off than he was some days ago. A chill went up his spine and he rubbed his arms, a feeling of dread dawning on him. He couldn’t place it but he could tell that something wasn’t right. Marcus turned to the floor length window or rather the large glass door meant to be a window, and frowned. He didn't remember opening it before he slept off but there it was, opened, allowing the cool night air to come in. That was probably why he felt some unease. Marcus stood up and walked to it, cautiously peeping to see if anyone was out on his balcony or maybe the wind pushed it wide open. He saw no one and chose to close the doors when his eyes noticed something that was very out of place. A red box.He looked around again, trying to see if the person that dropped this off was still around but h

    It had been a month since Marcus received the sinister gift from who he knew to be Alexandra. There had been no movement from her since then and the police had not been able to come up with her whereabouts. Even Lori couldn’t hack the public servers enough to find her. Marcus had recruited all the people he thought could help but no one could find her. It was like she fell off the face of the earth. She had become a ghost. It was unnerving but there was not much he could do about the matter even though it irked the shit out of him. As for Davon, it didn’t take long until he was charged with all the overwhelming evidence the DEA found against him. Marcus had the officers offer him a deal. If Davon would give up his mother then he would have a reduced sentence. Davon refused and tried to put up a fight by hiring the best lawyers but even that couldn’t save him. The evidence was too substantial to fight in court. Although Marcus and his family couldn’t attend the court hearing due to t

    Marcus’ eyes opened up to reveal the white and sterile look and smell of a room that was plagued with an incessant beeping noise. Bright lights briefly blinded him causing a sharp pain to go up his head as he shielded his eyes from the light. He groaned as he found himself lying in a hospital bed, his head and arm wrapped in bandages and a throbbing pain in his skull. He turned over and saw a nurse checking his vitals and scribbling in a notepad. As she saw him look at her, she smiled at him, a bit shocked that he opened his eyes in the first place.“Mr. Wei. You’re awake. Oh, I have to inform doctor Clifford. Hold on just a bit. I’ll be back soon.”She didn’t wait for Marcus to speak up before she booked it out of the room in order to call the doctor in charge of his case. Marcus winced as he tried to sit up a bit still waiting for the nurse to come back. He placed his hand on his head and felt the bandages. What happened to him? The nurse didn’t disappoint as she waltzed back into t

    “Well, it looks like we have our mole. This is going to be interesting.” Callum said, letting out a breath of uneasy air. “It can’t really be him.” Marcus said trying to protect his uncle and his belief in the man’s innocence but Callum was having no part of it. He pointed to the screen and raised his voice at Marcus.“How are you still protecting him? I understand that he’s your family but this is clear evidence that he sabotaged you. You can’t possibly overlook the fact that immediately he tampers with the controls, thirty minutes later it all goes to shit and people are pointing guns at the people you care for.”Marcus shook his head refusing to believe it. Deep down he knew that the evidence did not lie but he didn’t want to see Eric in such a light. He had been with this man for half a year for Christ’s sake. All the fights he had before, the ones he could remember, he always fought them with anger in his heart but how can he hate someone that was part of his family? If Eric wan

    The trial and sentencing of Alexandra caused ripples in both the business world and in other areas of the city such as the underworld but while it was nationwide gossip, it didn’t circulate in the household of the Wei’s. It wasn’t because the owners forbade it. It was because the people who were there that night chose to forget all about it and move on with their lives. One of those people was Marcus.The past few days had been no surprise to his family with all the crazy talk going around but what stuck out to Marcus during that time was the lack of dirt he seemed to or didn’t seem to find on any staff members in the mansion. They were all squeaky clean with little to no priors before they joined the family. He leaned back in his chair at the office and groaned loudly.What detective Callum had said to him that night had stuck with him and he had followed every lead up till that point so it made no sense why he would find nothing and the staff were innocent. It confused him more beca

    After the invasion on the Wei mansion and the police had arrested all the culprits, the minds of the staff and the owners of the house had calmed down a bit. Thankfully, no one was hurt or shot during the invasion. No one except for Eric that is but it was a small price to pay in his words for the safety of the others.The earlier ruckus had subsided and now there was only peace and quiet on the mansion grounds. The only thing that could be heard now was the chirping of crickets and the sound of the soft wind blowing. The only thing that could be seen was the police tape that was being removed after they cordoned off the area where Eric had gotten shot and the ominous glow of the blue and red lights of the police vehicles casted on the front lawn.Rachel had already gone inside and his father and grandfather had gone to the hospital to check up on his uncle so Marcus stood outside and basically supervised the cleaning and investigation of the crime scene. One of the officers whom none

    “Maybe a bullet in your brain will make you remember.”No one said a word. No one was even quick enough as a bullet tore through the air and a deafening gunshot was heard. A small wisp of smoke rose up from the ground where the bullet had come in contact with. Marcus, who ducked his head in an attempt to dodge the bullet, opened his eyes and looked behind him. Their floor was wrecked by the bullet that had embedded itself into the ground. He let out a shuddering breath at the act while Alexandra stepped forward and placed the gun directly in front of Marcus’ head.“That wasn’t a mistake. I’m not a lazy shot. The next time that you want to insult my intelligence is the time that you die. Now, I’ll ask again. Do you know that you killed my child?” Alexandra stated, her voice dangerously low and heavy.Marcus shrugged in slight fear, coming to the realization that her son was the Davon that had dated Rachel for her money in the past. The one he had helped put away in prison but he really

    After Victoria was dragged away and thrown out of the house, Rachel and the rest of the family could finally rest easy. The wretched woman was now out of their lives once more. They all turned away from the door and looked at Marcus who still had a faraway look in his eyes since he basically finalized the order to throw the woman he thought he loved out of his home. His hands stayed glued to the marriage certificate he believed was real.The members of the family shared an understanding look, grateful that he had not passed out again because of the revelation and also pained that he had to come to his reality in such a way. Rachel silently gave them the go ahead to leave, showing them that she would take care of Marcus on her own. The men took her lead and left the room without a word, allowing Rachel to handle the shit show that had occurred just some seconds ago. She took a seat next to Marcus not really sure whether she should follow her instinct and place a hand on his lap or sit

  • Chapter Ninety-Five: UNWANTED

    Marcus’ eyes fluttered open once more to voices but this time it wasn’t just his father’s and Rachel’s. Several male voices were thrown into the mix. He kept his eyes shut because of the bright light in the room and instead listened to what they had to say about his situation.“You say that he remembered her? I’ve checked his vitals and apart from his fainting spell he’s in good shape. If that’s the only reaction he has to telling him his past then I think letting him in on it all may be for the best but only in small doses. We can’t have him fainting every second of the day because he learned something new about himself and then having to undergo therapy if his mind fractures.” A male voice warned.“Noted doctor but I have one last question. Since he remembers her, is it okay if we tell him about her?” Micah’s unmistakable voice rang through.“I think that’s fine. You can but remember only in small doses.”A collective sigh of relief filled the room but there was one voice that stood

    Marcus stood still in contemplation after Micah, his father had left him alone in the hallway. He thought of what he could do next. Did he need to ask his uncle and grandfather or did he need to wait for the right moment? Would Victoria even know who Rachel was? No. He couldn’t ask her anything relating to the mystery woman. He didn’t even know the full story and if he asked Victoria it may lead to several problems especially since he knew that she was the jealous type. He shook his head, not stuck on what to exactly do as he walked off in the direction of his room. He would wait and see and later approach his father once more to ask questions. He didn’t want to be a pest but he needed to find out what was going on especially when his father was so cryptic with the response he gave. Marcus understood that his condition didn’t allow them to tell him certain things due to the way they treated him these past days and he had been content with that but what he didn’t get was what the know

  • Chapter Ninety-Three: REMEMBERANCE

    The next day came along quickly, allowing the rays of sunlight to fill up the darkened space of the room and leaving Marcus weary and filled with more questions than he had initially bargained for when he entered this house. Questions that he planned to ask his father about and questions that he planned to keep a secret from Victoria until he got to the truth behind that woman’s face.Marcus sat up from the bed that he hadn’t even bothered to sleep in after he sent Victoria away. Victoria. He shook his head at the thought. How would she feel after that night? She had come to him for comfort and he turned her away because he remembered a woman? A woman who he could swear he shared a kiss with. He would have to apologize for it but also keep the image to himself. He had made up his mind. He would apologize to Victoria first before approaching his father with his questions. He picked up his phone and made a quick call to the staff members to bring something to his room. Marcus had a qui

  • Chapter Ninety-Two: FAILED ATTEMPT

    Days went by and so did two weeks before Marcus was mostly introduced back into the business of the family. He hadn't gone to the company yet but he was almost up to speed on how to run the company once more, the way he deemed fit before he had the accident. It wasn’t hard to keep the secret of him owning several companies in other states as well, since the news of his alleged accident spread and he had to watch it all on the news. A small mistake on Elias’ part when he left the television on for Marcus to browse. The new information had not hurt his brain in any way and once the family found out that he was still fine, they explained some of it to him. Not the part about the Wong’s and his conniving wife but the part about him building a name for himself before becoming a multimillionaire and heir to the Wei legacy. All of which he took in stride. With that, Marcus had decided that he wanted to go back to his old companies but when Derek Zhao had heard about the accident he had ca
