Mark was thrown in jail and he remained there for days while his wife had the beautiful moments of her life and on the sixth day, he was granted bail. Stepping out of the prison yard with his crutches felt so new to him, he had never experienced such a situation in his entire life.
"you have been granted bail, you're a free man now" The inspection revealed Outside the police station, Mark stared mindlessly at the clean streets, unsure of what to do or where to go. He knew trouble awaited him and he couldn't run from it. He stopped a taxi and gave the driver his address and on getting to the gate, he begged the gatekeeper to pay for his fare because he had no money on him. Mark limped inside the house with mixed feelings, he had grudges against his wife and everyone who supported Bruce in his evil act, and all he wanted at that point was revenge but how on earth would he get it?. "Come here, you fool!" he heard his mother-in-law scream It wasn't a new thing to him, he turned to greet her but ended up with a slap on his face "you disgraced me in front of all my esteemed guests, I curse the day my daughter met your wretched soul" she cursed Mark felt stabbed to the heart but said nothing, he knew he couldn't run from Judith's harsh words and cruelty, he had learned to live with it if he ever wanted to taste food in the house. "I'm sorry, Mother, I didn't mean to ruin your birthday party, I was only trying to protect my wife" Mark replied "protect your wife from who?" she asked and pushed Mark aggressively He landed on the floor with a loud thud and groaned in pain, he hadn't had any atom of rest in prison and on getting home, he received cruelty as his welcoming gift. "look at you, pathetic human, you can't even protect yourself and you speak about protecting my daughter, she doesn't need the protection of a handicapped and poor husband" Judith cursed and spat on his face He managed to clean off her saliva but she spat in his eyes, he felt pained in his heart by the way she treated him, he wished he had stayed back at the prison cell without bail, at least he found a bit of peace behind bars. "Now get up and attend to your chores or else I will make your sufferings worse" she threatened "I haven't had anything to eat, Mother, I'm starving" He protested Judith laughed and stared scornfully at his wretched face, she was pissed by his words and presence "Finish your chores and eat, you will have no food in that stomach of yours until this house is clean and free from dirt so get to work or starve to death" she threatened and walked out on him He groaned to stand on his feet and without hesitation, he went to the equipment room to get his cleaning items with the pain felt in his heart and body, he mopped the house but as he got to the stairs, he heard strange noises and it came from Elena's room, he could hear sounds of sex and someone appeared to be moaning so loudly. He couldn't believe his ears, he cleaned them twice to be sure he wasn't hallucinating, the constant moans reminded him that he hadn't had sex with his wife in ages, she had denied all attempts to sleep with him. And no matter how he begged for a round of sex, she never agreed. He left his mop behind and slowly walked to the door of his wife's room, he placed his ear close and his heart skipped a bit. "go harder, don't stop" he could hear her scream his heart broke into pieces on hearing her sweet voice, he couldn't bring himself to open the door because he feared his heart would be broken for good. He couldn't accept the fact that his wife would dare to cheat on him after all the sacrifices he made for her. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he stood and listened to her moans, he touched the door numb and just as he was about to open the door, his mother-in-law screamed "what are you doing there?, get out of there or you're going to regret it" "I need to see what's happening to my wife, I can't believe what I'm hearing," he said Judith clenched her fist in anger and slowly approached Mark but he wasn't scared this time around, he had enough of her threats and torture, he wanted to be sure of the lady who moaned loudly. "Mark, do you dare to disobey my orders?" Judith asked furiously He paused and stared at her face for some minutes, she paused, thinking she had finally held him by the balls and to her utmost surprise, he opened the door and rushed in to receive the shock of his life. "Mark, when did you get out of jail?" Elena asked as she struggled to cover her breasts and naked body Mark couldn't move a muscle, he stared helplessly at his wife and the man who hid under the white duvet, it was no other person than the man who sent him to jail for saving his wife from harm. "why are you doing this to me, has it come to this?" Mark asked with a broken voice Judith rushed in and knocked Mark over in anger, he fell to the ground when he couldn't hold his crutches, his heart was broken and with the pain he felt, tears rolled down his cheeks. His knee was broken and blood rushed out slowly but the state of his heart was far worse. "I thought the inspector would release you from jail tomorrow, you have to accept your fate now, Mark, this is part of life," Bruce said Mark managed to stare at his hideous face and Bruce smiled mischievously, he had succeeded with his initial plan of sleeping with Elena, Mark stood in the way but he turned the odds and made him the bad guy in his story. "It hurts me to say this but I don't think we can be together anymore, I have had enough of your existence in my life and I want a change" she revealed "I was locked behind bars for your sake and I return home to see you in bed with another man, you whore!, what else do you want?" Mark screamed with pain "a divorce!" she revealed and Mark froze in shock."You can't this do, Elena, we have been together for years, through thick and thin but now you're willing to cast me into the abyss for a man who has nothing but evil intentions towards you?. Is this what you want?, please, my love!" Mark begged, his heart ached with fear, he couldn't bear to lose his wife, not like this. "You're a liability to me!, you can't afford to cater for yourself or anyone, I once loved you but that love is gone and you must accept your fate as a man. There's nothing you can do about it and begging me will only make me hate you for all eternity, a lawyer will bring the divorce papers tomorrow and you will sign them peacefully" she revealed. Mark watched her lips and saw his heart break into pieces, Bruce didn't say a word, his plans were failing into place and he had gotten the trust and support of Elena and her mother. It was all he ever wanted, he had his eyes on Elena for a while and always fantasized about having sex with her and his wildest imagination
"Make a promise that you will never leave me, tell me that you will stay with me till the end," Mark asked Elena stared into his eyes with a smile on her face as she kissed his soft lips, a romantic move that eased Mark's tensed spirit. "I will never leave you, I love you forever and you will always be my husband no matter the odds," she revealed. They stared at their wedding rings and made a toast before they kissed each other in perfect harmony. Mark woke up and coughed aggressively and he realized that the romantic moment he was trapped in was nothing but a bloody dream and his blood was all over the streets, he kept bleeding under the heavy rain but managed to stand with the help of his crutch, he managed to drag his soaked bag off the road and breathed heavily, he groaned in pain while trying to tie up his bleeding leg, people watched as he suffered but none came to help him. He stared at the cars that drove pass him and the passersby that walked past him with their umb
Back at the Brooks penthouse, Elena stared at her phone with nothing more than a frown on her beautiful face, she had been alone for hours, scrolling through hate speeches on her I*******m profile. She couldn't fathom where she went wrong and as she took a sip from her glass of wine, different thoughts ran through her mind until Judith tenderly touched her shoulder. "What's it, Elena?" she asked. Elena wasn't ready to speak, she kept mute and stared at the bottle of wine before her face, how could she explain that she had made the biggest mistake of her life?. "Do you think I made the wrong choice, Mother?" she asked. "Not for a second, Mark has nothing to do in your life, Bruce is the man who can give you the life you want, not that poor bastard!" Judith answered with hate and disgust in her voice. A smile slowly grew on her face until her phone rang, it was the president of the modeling company she worked for. "Miss Elena, I'm deeply concerned about the videos flying all over t
At the lonely alley road, Mark was brutally beaten to pulp, the thugs tore his clothes and inflicted wounds on his body, he was close to death as he stared at them without an atom of strength in his body. "Next time, you will know better than to lie to men like us!" the leader said and grabbed the five hundred dollar notes they could find. "Please, that's all the money I have, please" Mark begged with his last strength, his voice was cracked and they laughed hysterically as they watched him groan in pains, he kept bleeding from his legs and arms, they were merciless. "Let's move, the cops could be here at any moment," one of the thugs revealed. "No, they won't, they don't answer to the calls of poor men like him, let's leave him to his maker, see you later," the leader said and they disbanded themselves immediately. Mark could hardly see anything in front of him, his vision was blurry, and all he could do was gasp for oxygen before he passed out for the second time. The alley road
Mark was harassed and spat on by passersby who stared scornfully at him. He knew everyone hated him, but what hurt the most were the lies they believed. He could never accept that Elena would lie against him and try to make his life miserable. What had he done to deserve such pain?"You deserve to die. Thank goodness Elena Brooks escaped from your torture," the passersby said, hatred in their eyes. Diego watched Mark from a distance and shook his head pitifully. They would have watched him suffer and die on the streets if he chose to turn a blind eye."Mark, let's go," Diego whispered when he got close. As everyone watched Diego carry the wounded son-in-law in his arms, they could hardly explain his intentions, but no one cared—they wanted to see Mark suffer."What they said about me are all lies. I would never hurt anyone," Mark protested, tears in his eyes. He could hardly hold his emotions together. His heart was broken, and his body was defeated."I have to treat your wounds. The
Elena felt relieved as she made her way to the jacuzzi, life had been nothing more than perfect for her ever since Mark stepped out of the picture. She took a sip from the glass of wine close to her and exhaled with joy as a beautiful smile grew on her face, everyone had turned against her ex-husband for her sake and they would bow at her feet even though she's utterly wrong, she had the influence and Bruce had the money to always make things go her way."Look at her beautiful and calm you have become, it's been a long time since I have seen you this happy," Her maid said as she brought her towel to her."When a pest is out of your life, calmness follows, tell the chef to make me a good breakfast, I have an appointment to meet up with" she ordered.She had her breakfast swiftly and before driving out of her garage, a black Rolls-Royce formed an obstacle on her path, she smiled on recognizing the owner."Where are you heading to?" Bruce asked."I have an appointment with my modeling pr
"Where's that fool that calls himself my Son-in-law?, where is he?" Elena's mother, Judith asked the maids with fury in her eyes. She was feared in the house as her actions were cruel and painful, no one dared to disobey her orders no matter how hard it was. "He's sleeping peacefully ma'am" the maid answered with fear as Judith glared at her face with anger. She rushed to Mark's room with a bowl of warm water she grabbed from the kitchen and without hesitation, she poured it at Mike who slept innocently. "Wake up, you pathetic fool!" she screamed and threw the bowl at his face in anger. Mark choked aggressively as the water got into his nostrils, he fell off the bed with a loud thud and coughed heavily with water dripping from his nose. "Why haven't you started your chores?, the cars are yet to be washed and the living room is dirty, the plates are unwashed and you sleep here like a corpse while the maids are doing their duties!" she screamed. Mark tried to speak but chok
"How dare you talk back at me!" Judith screamed and before Mark could open his mouth to speak, a reckoning force landed on his cheeks, disrupting his stance and without anything to hold on to, he fell to the ground with a loud thud. He groaned in pain as he held his unhealed leg that was badly bruised, Bruce stared at him with a smile on his face, he knew Elena's mother wouldn't stand and watch her pathetic Son-in-law challenge him "Now get up and clean up this mess before I rain down hell on your pathetic body, but first, you must apologize to Mr Bruce," Judith ordered Mark stared at Bruce who still had a mischievous smile on his face, his heart raced with anger but what could he do?. Bruce had obviously won the heart of Mrs Judith in minutes and she had once again turned against the Son-in-law who she once respected and loved. He bit his lower lips in anger and struggled to stand but breathed heavily as he was losing strength. "I'm sorry, Mr Bruce," Mark struggled to say
