2024-10-29 19:42:56"Marina, hahaha hahaha, it seems I was wrong, you are not a one night stand, you are a regular night stand. Pfft hahahahaha "Bella laughed out loud.
Marina's face alternated between white and green as she heaved angrily. How could Blake speak to her in such a tone like she was a prostitute and Bella's laughter was so gritting.
" Shut up"Marina screamed as she ran upstairs. The faces of all the Anderson's were equally green and red as they looked embarrassed.
Louis who had previously been begging about his sister quietly retreated to one side to avoid the eyes of his gloating cousins who were fawning in them some minutes ago.
"Ah! So the main branch didn't tell us Marina had this sort of identity. Thus won't do, we should quickly find a lady to attract Blake's attention, our family can't avoid to lose Blake and it is so obvious that marina is not important to him" Sara Marina's aunt from the second branch who was always at loggerheads with her chimed in.
"Sara, you bitch, if not for Marina, you would have ended up in the streets long ago. Ungrateful pig that wants to bite the hands that fed it '' Marina's mother Chris wasn't backing down either as she shamed Sara.
The loud arguments escalated as the once peaceful family tore each other up now their interests were damaged.
In the midst of the loud commotion, Bella slipped away " this Blake is vicious, I know for a fact that marina will not agree to be in such a position but if she does agree, Zachary is in trouble, he needs to know now!!!"
" Stop it, all of you!!! Have you lost your senses? Marina is still not useless, did you idiots try to think of the reason why Blake will want marina to blame a pregnancy on Zachary? "Grandma roared as she slammed her walking stick on the floor.
"Her roar brought the unstable crowd back in order as Louis regained his confidence again " exactly, maybe that Zachary is important for some purpose and he is still needed? "
" Shit! The older the ginger the spicer indeed? That old hag was the only one who detected the funny Contradiction. Zachary must find out before she manages to convince Marina"bella who was about leaving hastened her footsteps.
" Stop her!!!"grandma's voice cut in as Bella was almost at the end of the door.
" Oh crap, I should have known better than to spend a whole 5 seconds on needless thinking, now I have to run in heels, so uncomfortable" Bella rolled her eyes as she picked up her pace.
" Chase her, you morons. She is going to meet Zachary. Let me warn if she manages to relay the news to Zachary, Marina will lose all her chances completely "Grandma Steph completely lost her head in anger as she watched everyone in the family looking at her with confused eyes.
"All God, shut down the main gate, nobody leaves and nobody comes in" Jones barked orders at the security.
"Hihihihi, how could Blake do this to me? I.... I gave him everything, he ...he ... He.."
" Stop crying like a baby?This is an opportunity?"Grandma Steph sighed in indignation as she looked at Marina with the expression of hating iron becoming steel.
" What opportunity, grandma?you know that Zachary is my ex husband and just today i announce my break up with great fanfare?how am I going to do it and why would I, aren't I his one love."
" That's easy,you are beautiful and no matter how stubborn Zachary may be,he still loves you,a little tears will get him and as for the news,we will call it a prank?we can't lose Blake "
" Okay, I understand grandma"Marina nodded solemnly, she could not lose Blake, not ever.
...
"Those people are really incredible and disgusting. They must really think of Zach as a joke" kose spat in anger after hearing bella.
"You should have seen Marina's face, so pleasing to watch but where's zachi, we need to tell him." Bella glanced at the time. There is no time soon the night will be with us.
"He went for the interview with ZZ conglomerate but I haven't heard from him since then, his phone is not connecting at all but the distress sign hasn't rang so he is probably fine" kose sighed.
"ZZ conglomerate, he sure is coming out of his shell" bella said sadly. Only she knew what kind of genius Zachary was but all that changed since junior high. He was the leader of the psychic department or as kose called it "GHOST"
...
"Tell me about everything mother" Zachary said in tears, he didn't want to believe it at first but he went through his adopted parents things and found something peculiar.
His mom loved keeping a progress of his growth as a momento but all the Momentos he went through had no record of the first 5 years of his life, that could only mean one thing.
She had no record of the early five years of his life. His childhood pictures also decorated the black mansion and he felt so familiar with the environment.
Everything felt so surreal but it was true. Zachary, who felt he was going to live a lonely life, unexpectedly found warmth again.
"You are my first born, Zane over her is your younger brother as you know he is grumpy, stupid and a pain in the ass. You have a sister Zena, my youngest and Zane's twin. She is an archaeologist and isn't in the country at the moment. Your grandma is also... "
" Hey, not fair, how come you are using me to get brownie points from your son and Zena isn't an archaeologist, you are praising her so much, she is a professional tomb raider, that's the only thing she does... "
." You moron, how dare you destroy your sister's reputation, I will smack your brain out today "a voice rang out as a walking stick ram in on Zane.
" Who is that? Whoever that is must have a death.... Grandma.... Grandma you are here, that's great" Zane said as he began retreating to the side. It's over, my life is over.
"Death wish, you idiot better be prepared to take the first plane to africa, your aunt will really love to see you"
" No, Grandma, not Aunt Ada, she will kill me... Big brother, I found big brother, at least spare me once because of that? Zane cried out in panic as he shoved Zachary over to her.
"Zachin , you are alive, how great, the heavens never forsake the innocent" grandma Fachin
Stammered as she held Zachary with tears in her eyes

Alright, let's forget that unpleasant experience, what matters is that Zachary is here with us alive and well"Mary interrupted the old woman who was about reminiscing." Right! Bro has been up and about, he hasn't even had lunch, let's skip all the discussion ams grab a bite first "Zane who was already growling in hunger said when he saw the chef serving the dishes."Of course, silly me, I forgot, zachin come eat, come" Fachin said as she led Zachary to the dinning table."Zachary, we couldn't determine if you still love the dishes from when you were 5,so we made a little bit of everything, I hope you enjoy it"Mary said as she served

Kose continued to read out."Marina does deserves this but who do you think will release this video?" Bella glanced at Zachary."Isn't it obvious enough?"..."Blake, it appears you failed to convince Marina to join you" zephyr walked towards blake.His gentle smile and footsteps stroke heavily on Blake's heart like a sledgehammer. Memories of his traumatic years flashed before Blake's eyes. "It was always this reaper smile before he cruelly dealt with his enemies""Dad, please forgive me? Give me another chance I will get her to do it" the panicked Blake said as he stepped backwards."I don't recall sayin

The board will kick against him, if you can't even manage a wife how will you be able to hold the dreams and aspirations of an entire organization? "Zephyr said with a smug smile." I see, this is simply fantastic! Just like winning the game before the player arrives? "Blake said excited. The big rock on his chest has been removed with this news." Do whatever you can to keep that news there,if Zachary is really my brother's child, I reckon he must know so he will try his best to take it down so don't let him"zephyr sternly warned...." Who's that? "Zachary roared at the door." Fufufu!! Zachary, how long has it been? You don't even remember my voice again?

(The next day) "Mr. Blake, this is the authentic wine that had been preserved for a hundred years since the inception of my family. I will like to present it to you as a token of apology for the mess Marina made you go through" grandma Steph said as she presented with two hands an expensive looking drink. Her heart bled as she passed the drink to Blake, this was their family's heirloom and she has been preserving it for some famous people but now because of marina, she has no choice but to give it to this illegitimate child Blake, the very thought of it made her hatred for Marina grow. "Well, your good thought is very much appreciated but I doubt all of this is just an apology, so why don't you tell me the real reason you are here"Blake said with a smile on his face but inwardly he was sneering " this old hag must want to seek reconciliation with me". "Well, about that I want you to give Marina another chance and this time we will make sure to do all you ask, we will make sure to g

"Oh My!, grandmaster Sean, it's a pleasure to have you grace this warm occasion" Mary smiled towards the old man. The old man was accompanied by two other men, a middle-aged aged man and a young youth. "Mary, what are you saying? Your husband was my best student and your son was even better, it's a pity he was lost so early, now he has been found, of course I will attend even if I have to drag my old bones through the floor"the old man laughed. As one of the most influential general in the country, old man Sean was a highly respected individual and the fact that he was willing to grace this event made it obvious that he accepted Zachary. Mary of course understood that which was why she was so grateful. Of course, zephyr also understood the same which made him grit his teeth in hatred " why? Why did my brother always have the best things? Even now he's dead but his son has risen to block my path, no... I will not let them "zephyr roared in his heart. As Mary and the old man was con

And true to Zachary's calculations, the Anderson's fumed at Marina."Marina, shut up now!! Take back all those things you said"grandma Steph fumed as she tightly pinched Marina.But well, marina was far too lost in her daydreaming to see things from her aspect, instead she perceived her grandma as being ungrateful " grandma, you are so unfair, you are taking Blake's side over me, your own granddaughter. After all I have done for the family, I was the one who covered up your... Shut up!"A slap landed on Marina's cheeks stopping her words halfway "this lousy girl, has she gone mad?" "Grandma, you hit me ....." Marina screamed "you hit me because of that illegitimate thing, Blake, you don't love me ... You are ungrateful, all of you""Drag her out, right now" Steph conmanded as she saw the media repeatedly flashing their cameras at her family, she was overwhelmed with shame and fear for she knew that her family's was over but all hope was not lost yet."Damm it, this is a disaster, but

"WHAT?" Zachary and the others echoed."Our remarriage, Zachary, what are you acting all dumb"Marina smiled as she held Zachary's arm."Ehn, marina, I think you are mistaken but I have no such intentions, please refrain from thinking such a horrible thought" Zachary smiled faded as he pulled his arm from Marina's grip."WHAT?, hahaha.... Zachary stop joking already, your humour isn't funny at all but see hihihihi l've laughed so let's go" Marina said offhandedly while hugging Zachary's arm again totally ignoring Zachary's disgusted face."Your brain must have grown weeds due to the amount of neglect you have shown it or rather you simply are delusional and sick""I don't care which one you are marina but get your hands off my man, Zachary will never marry you again cause he's mine and mine alone" bella fumed as she yanked off Marina's arm and replaced it with hers."
