CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO Marcus only had to wait for a minute before the Manager returned with a blue file she had hidden carefully with her dress, sauntering toward him.She took a deep breath while standing before Marcus, and then she handed it over to him, holding onto it while he tried to grab it.“You didn’t get this from me. You were never here to ask of her.” She warned before she finally let go of the file, watching as Marcus flipped through, glancing with keen attention. “Why are you so interested to knowing about her?” She asked, unable to get the thoughts out of her mind.“Is she your girlfriend?” She asked with a tone that was laced with the demeanor she couldn’t hide. “I think you both deserve each other.” She mocked, forgetting that she was in a tough situation a while earlier.Marcus scoffed, shaking his head slowly.He looked the Manager in the eyes, and then he cleared his throat.“That’s none of your business, lady. But I am just glad that Gwen is no longer working here.

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR The men looked at each other for the umpteenth time, and after they had communicated silently as usual, they turned to face Marcus again, their expressions still cold and curious at the same time. “Trust me, you are not going to like us if we find out that you are joking with us.” Danny threatened, but that didn’t make Marcus flinch.At that moment, Clara was a little glad that the attention was no longer on her, but that was not a guarantee that she was going to be free from the men. She turned to Marcus, wishing that she was going to be able to dissuade him from pissing off the men any further since it was already looking like that was his intention. “We are going to answer your questions,” Danny assured, but his voice was laced with a little reluctance that was also etched all over his face. “We are listening…” Billy added, looking at Marcus just like his cohort. Marcus nodded in satisfaction, and then he took a deep breath while he was still staring at the

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX “I will be with you shortly, Doctor,” Marcus said calmly, and then he turned to look at the car that was still parked by the corner while the driver was still busy observing from a distance. Marcus ended the call at once, and then he took a deep breath, his eyes moving toward the car the guards were in. He was about to gesture to them to find out who the driver of the car was and possibly bring him to him when suddenly the driver turned on the ignition and drove away. Marcus sighed heavily, but he still didn’t leave that position until he was sure that the car had gone very far and was not going to return. He took a deep breath, and then he returned to his car, speeding to the hospital as soon as he turned on the engine. He hurried straight to the Doctor’s office, and when he didn’t find him there, he moved to the ward where he met Gwen still sleeping. He inched closer to her, and then he made himself comfortable on the seat he had dragged from a corner.

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT Marcus remained silent, staring at the pitiable lady with a narrowed gaze. Not only was Gwen looking helpless, but she seemed like she was on the edge of giving up on life, her face drained of all its color. Marcus cleared his throat, getting ready to break the silence that had lasted for almost a minute.“So it was her guards who tried to kill you.” He whispered, and she nodded, looking him in the face.After a few seconds, Gwen cleared her throat, seeming like she was about to discard her silence. Marcus was forced to remain silent while he waited to hear what she was going to say, but it seemed as though she could no longer find the words that she was certain of saying earlier. “This is very heartless, Gwen.” He said, and no matter how hard he tried to make sense of the entire situation, it didn’t seem like he was going to succeed at that moment. He took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, he looked at Gwen just to be certain that she was ready to sp

CHAPTER SIXTY “I am so sorry. I have to take this.” He said to Gwen who nodded before he answered the call at once, pressing the phone to his left ear.“Mr. Duke.” He said calmly, listening attentively to hear what the old man had to say to him. “I hope I am not calling at the wrong time, Young Master.” Duke finally broke his silence, but Marcus was forced to focus on his tone after listening to what he said. “Is there any problem, Mr. Duke? You sound…” He searched for the right word, reclining to the seat. “Very worried…” He continued, his voice low and slippery. Duke cleared his throat from his own end, but that seemed to be the only sound he was ready to make while Marcus continued to listen to him, waiting for him to speak. “I am listening, Mr. Duke…” Marcus discarded the silence the moment he became tired of waiting for the old man to speak.He didn’t even realize that Gwen was not just staring at him, but she was making an intensive attempt to read his countenance, determi
