CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO He couldn’t get himself to tell her that he had never seen his father, at least since he got to a cognizant age. He couldn’t get himself to tell her that he didn’t even know what he looked like.Marcus had tried to picture what his father looked like, but he couldn’t. Additionally, he had searched the internet for pictures of himself, but it was as if he didn’t exist, and that got him a bit confused. “How is it possible for someone as rich and powerful as my father not to be on social media?” He asked himself, almost forgetting that he was not alone in the room. A few seconds later, a nurse walked into the ward, and that was the moment when Marcus was able to drift back to reality.He stood by the corner watching as the nurse attended to Gwen, checking the flow of the medication running down the cannula.“Have you had anything to eat?” The nurse asked Gwen, but she couldn’t say, looking away slowly. The nurse chuckled softly, but that was not because of mockery

“Is everything alright?” The young man clad in a grey suit asked, inching closer with slow steps. “I thought you were gone. I was surprised when I was told you were still here.” He continued with a very respectful tone, looking the middle-aged man in the face. After a few seconds, he turned to look at Marcus, but he only stared at him for a few seconds before he returned his gaze to the man he figured was more important than any other person in the restaurant. The young man’s appearance seemed to have drawn more attention, especially since some of the ladies had always admired him, frequenting that place just to take a glimpse of his charm. He was not just tall and handsome, but had a fashion sense that always made him stand out wherever he found himself. His presence seemed to have given the workers in the restaurant a good reason to be up and doing, and while the waiters and waitresses hurried to grab the orders of the hungry customers, the security men who had abandoned the

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX This sight left Marcus furious, but Henry seemed to be having fun watching him gnash his teeth while he was filled with rage. “I told you not to do that.” Marcus growled inwardly, his eyes sparking with fire. “Why did you eat that food, Nathan? It was meant for someone sick.” He lamented, still trying to hold onto his anger, but it seemed as though it was boiling so much that it was going to explode inside him, all his veins slowly lining up to show how pissed off he was. “She is sick, and needs the food urgently. You shouldn’t have done that.” He grunted, anger sparking in his eyes. “Aww!” Nathan pouted, looking at Marcus with a smirk all over his face. “I didn’t know that you were taking the food to your girlfriend, boy…”“Girlfriend?” Henry scoffed, staring at Marcus with disdain. “I wonder what girl with be stupid enough to be with someone like him.” He kept his disgruntled stare, looking at Marcus from hair to the sole of his shoes. “Don’t be deceived by

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT Henry couldn’t do anything for him, especially since he was also struggling with his own nervousness. Marcus on the other hand was already standing in front of the Manager, glaring at him with fury sparking in his eyes.“I warned you, but you refused to listen! Now you have made me so angry that I want to break your bones just like I broke Fred’s bones!”Nathan swallowed hard, eyes bulging like they were about to crawl from their sockets. “I am so sorry, Marcus! I am going to replace the food! I will make sure you get an extra plate and any choice of wine you want! Consider this a way of saying that I am sorry!” Nathan continued to shiver before the same man he had mocked, his breathing quivering violently. Again, he had looked at Henry, but the middle-aged man seemed like he had already abandoned him to his fate, allowing him to face Marcus’s wrath alone. For some reason, he decided to listen to the voice inside his head, looking back into Marcus’s eyes wit

CHAPTER SEVENTY “I have a sick mother, sir!” Nathan begged, falling to his knees. “Please don’t do this to me! I beg you!” He pleaded, grabbing Marcus’s leg with both hands and dropping his head to the ground. “I don’t want to lose my job, Sir! Not now! Not ever!” Marcus scoffed, looking down at him in disdain. “You should have thought about that before you became a pawn to a man as dangerous as Mr. Russell.” “I had no choice, Sir!” Nathan insisted, more tears falling from his eyes. “Mr. Russell is a major investor in the restaurant!” “That’s a lie.” Marcus snapped at him, glaring in disdain. “He is just a regular customer in this place, and I am sure that you should be involved in some kind of shady deals with him for you to fear him this much.” Marcus silenced the ex-Manager at once, looking into his eyes with nothing to show that he was going to change his mind about the decision he made earlier. “Everyone has a choice, Nathan. It just depends on what we decide are
