CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOUR “Are you sure about this, Marcus?” Aria asked, unable to hide her uncertainty. “Yes…” The young lady nodded, and then she sighed heavily, hoping that was going to be enough for her to be able to hide her nervousness. “I think it is time for me to go, Marcus…” She continued, her tone low and heavy with nervousness.“It’s been long overdue, and the more I try to ignore it, the more it troubles me…” She looked Marcus in the eyes, her mind occupied by several thoughts. “But I will be back, Marcus…” She assured, refusing to blink. “I promise…” She added, but it didn’t look like her brother was ready to budge.He looked at her as though she was lying to him, and even though he said nothing, uncertainty was strained all over his face, lining up alongside the veins on his forehead. Aria sighed heavily, and then she stood up, adjusted her black skirt, and sauntered to her brother.She joined him on the long black couch, and then she grabbed his hands, still look

Meanwhile, Marcus was done parking in a matter of minutes. He stormed out of the house, getting into the black SUV before one of the guards could hurry to him.Throughout the ride to the airport, his mind was at unrest, his grip on the steering wheel as slippery as it could be, reflecting the tension that was building up inside him.He grunted, furious as he stared at the cars lined up ahead of him.First time going to see my father and this is why!” He snarled, his eyes burning with annoyance. He took a deep breath, and he made a left turn, deciding to make use of the narrow road. He knew that it was going to be longer, but left with no choice, he made the move, speeding through the sloppy road while he tried to keep both his balance and hands steady. It took more than thirty minutes for him to get to his destination, but that seemed to be prayers answered for Queen who had almost failed to get everything set within the timeframe he gave to her. She sighed heavily as soon as she

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINE Marcus scoffed, and after staring at the hostess for a while, he cleared his throat, turning to Queen.‘” I think I might consider your idea of sanctioning her, Miss Queen. She is up to no good…” Queen took a deep breath, but it looked like she would have preferred the latter suggestion she made, glaring at the hostess who soon disappeared from their sight.She stood up slowly and joined the Young Master off the plane. They walked into one of the cars lined up and awaiting their arrival, already on their way to the Trevor Villa.“Here…” Queen pulled out a file while they were still on transit, handing it over to Marcus.“This contains details of your father’s situation…” She paused for a while, looking to make sure that Marcus was paying attention as she watched him glance at the document in the file. “We have sent a medical Doctor and his colleagues to Asia to get the antidote. But there is a Doctor taking care of your father. All the information about he

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ELEVENMarcus mumbled, as his eyes opened gradually, until his blurry vision became really clear. He had fallen asleep on the chair while keeping watch over his Father. “Good morning, Young Master.” Queen was greeted as soon as she pushed the door open, and walked into the room to see Marcus seated on a chair. “Good morning, Queen. Hope you slept well.” “Sure. Thank you.” Marcus tried to get up, but his body was weak, and some parts around his waist ached due to the posture he was in while he slept. “I have some news about the inquiry you asked me to make.” Hearing those words from the lady, Marcus blinked his eyes severally and stretched his hands slowly, as he tried to understand what he was talking about. “What inquiry?” He asked, as he managed to get up from the chair, and turned to look at the lady who was standing behind him. “The car auction.” “Oh, what about it?” Marcus asked at once, his entire attention was drawn to the middle-aged man standing i

Marcus grabbed one of the sandwiches from the stainless dish, and took a bite at once, giving in to the hunger in him, as his stomach suddenly started to rumble as soon as he perceived the sweet aroma of the food on the table.“I think you should have that with some coffee as well,” Queen said, pointing to the jug in front of Marcus which he grabbed almost immediately, poured some of its content into a coffee cup, and returned it to its position.He added some milk from the cup of milk on the table, and stirred severally, while still holding onto the cup, just in case the milk wasn’t enough,When he was sure that he had added enough milk to the coffee, he dropped the cup of milk, brought out the spoon, and hit it gently on the tip of the cup to be sure that no liquid was going to drop on the table, before he balanced it on the saucer.Queen watched him with keen admiration as he did all of that, proving that he was well-cultured, even though he may not have lived a life of luxury.Marc
