CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEThe two attorneys stood up almost at the same time and headed towards the corner where the Judge pointed to.“I see you are still slaving for the Sterlings William.”“Well, they pay more than this leech of a client of yours Philip! I wonder how he will be able to afford you. You clearly do not know who you are involved with.” William retorted with a smirk as he walked to meet up with the Judge.Philip Marcus ’s attorney smiled with a slight shake of his head. “If only they know.” He said with a voice a little above a whisper before he joined the Judge still holding on to one of the files he came with.“I hope your clients have come to a resolution, we do not have to delay this any further.” The judge said still glaring at William with disappointment.“Certainly your honor. In here are the detailed information of the conditions listed by my client which my colleague on behalf of his client has agreed to.” Philip said and pulled out another document from the blue file

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOVanessa with her companions couldn’t believe everything that had transpired, it all seemed like some movie they were watching in a cinema.“This can’t be real. Impossible!” She whispered to the hearing of William and Victor whose buttocks were becoming hurting from the discomfort they felt seating in the middle of the whole confusion.“Gentlemen and ladies, I must take my leave now. My client and I are grateful that we were able to come to a definite conclusion of this legal seating. I would make the necessary arrangements with my colleague here and all documents regarding this divorce would be sent across.” Philip said after he stood up, then he shook hands with Marcus who smiled at him before he left.Seeing that everything was over and that the heat he felt inside of him was gradually leaving and his body temperature normalizing, William stood up gently avoiding Marcus ’s gaze remembering how rudely he had spoken to him the day before.“I will be taking my lea

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEVanessa couldn’t say any word. She kept must for a few seconds unable to get herself to tell her mother of the twist of the encounter she had at the law firm.Seeing the worrisome look on her face, Clara turned towards Victor with an inquisitive stare but the young man seemed to be in the same gloomy mood as her daughter.“What’s wrong baby! Is everything ok? Victor ?” Clara asked as her heart began to slowly speed up with irregular beats for some reason that wasn’t clear to her.“Oh don’t tell me you are thinking twice about dumping his silly ass! He was a poor bastard and couldn’t have been able to ever take care of you. He wouldn’t have been able to match your standards.” Lucy said appearing from the back with her right hand clutching her phone tightly.“Come here Sweetie. No one to be sad you did absolutely the right thing.” Sierra said and embraced Vanessa tightly with a smile on her face.Exactly my thoughts, I don’t know why she would be carrying a lo

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURMarcus ignored the looks on the faces of the members of the Sterling family in the living room and walked into the room slowly, this time with a straight face. He made his way towards the staircase but Stephen quickly blocked him with a slight push on his chest.“Where the hell do you think you are going?” Stephen asked glaring shots of displeasure and eagerness to start a fight with Marcus .Marcus clutched his fists, tightening them as though he was about to throw a punch but inhaling slowly, he let go of the anger inside of him. Stephen was really getting on his nerves and certainly he was going to pay for his actions.“What do you intend to do about that? Fight me? You dare not! Else I would have you locked up and the keys your cell thrown into the Pacific Ocean.” Stephen glared as he saw that Marcus had tightened his fists together.“I do not have time for this Jacob, kindly leave my way!”“And if I don’t? What are you gonna do about that yeah fight me? Cow

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEMark was the first to come down, he had always been expecting his grandmother to react in a certain way especially with the arrival of Marcus to the house which Vanessa didn’t seem to handle so well as they had expected.“Good evening Mum. How are you?” Clara asked her mother standing up gradually from her sitting position, but the woman sneered at her and rolled her eyes at the same time.“Where is Vanessa ? Where is she?”“Welcome Granny how was your day?” Mark said smiling at Lady Sterling whose temper was rising beyond the surface of the building.“Does it mean that no one understood my question or I am speaking in a foreign language? I said where is Vanessa ? For the last time, where is she?”“I will go fetch her Mum, please be calm.” Clara pleaded and rushed outside the house and towards the pool.Lady Sterling at this point was pacing around the livingroom livid, her breath was escalating above it’s normal pace and her hands shaking amidst the effects of t

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIXMarcus looked properly to see who was speaking from inside the driver’s seat of the vehicle, that was when he realized who it was; the same driver who had insulted him because he couldn’t afford to give him the extra charges he asked for.“Yo man! I hear you were served divorce papers. I bet you finally got what you deserved! Serves you right!” Said the main as he sniggered shaking his head in a funny way just to make mockery of Marcus .“What? Why aren’t you saying anything? Cat cut your tongue?” He said again and laughed hysterically at Marcus .At first, Marcus ’s intentions were to walk away from the man, but on a second thought he felt it was better to carry on with him not mindful of his attitude.“I just want to get to my destination. I want no trouble.” Marcus said calmly not in the mood to exchange words with the man.“Oh I see! Even if I was to see my trouble to you, bet you wouldn’t even be able to afford it. Loser.”“Just take me to the nearest hotel i

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENThe two hefty men paid no attention to Thomas, they continued to drag him along the floor until they got to a corner in the alley before they forcefully hurled him to the wall and stood next to him as his two sides.The impact made him grunt in pain as soon as he landed on the rough wall. He shut his eyes in pain and extended his right hand to his back to rub off the intense pain.“Who are you? What do you want? I don’t have anything, I am just a taxi driver.” Thomas said with a whimper still trying to ease the pain with his hands but the two hefty men on black suits beside him said nothing, it was as though they were programmed not to speak.Thomas panted in pain, then he relaxed himself with his legs stretching out to enable him balance, he dared not run for the sight of the two hefty men alone was enough to send cold shivers down his spine.“Please! Just let me go. I swear I won’t come to this place again. Don’t harm me I beg you.” Thomas pleaded the men who re

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTIt took less than ten minutes for them to get to their location, there standing elegantly tall in the middle of night with an outstanding glitter that made it the center of attraction was the Royal Castle Hotel.It was the best hotel in the whole of Granada Hills, and only people of high profile like politicians and celebrities could be able to afford the luxury of the hotel.The car parked at the parking space of the hotel and as he looked at the tall structure before him, Marcus marveled at the alluring sight of the hotel. It was built like a modern castle, the roofing was mounted on the building like a pinnacle, and the building itself seemed to be carved by the finest of artists.The ambience of the hotel was exquisite, sending sparkles of proficiency and wonder to anyone who dared to even take a peep at it. The gardens surrounding the hotel had all sorts of light around them and the statues also were outstanding, giving the euphoria of both and new architect

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE“What? That’s more than twice my salary!” The guard standing close was shocked at the amount the Male Receptionist mentioned, he left his mouth wide open and turned towards Marcus , expecting him to have an expected reaction.“Yeah! So you see exactly why I asked him if he was thought this place was an amusement park or the street. He clearly doesn’t know where he is.” Mira said allowed rolling her eyes at Marcus .“I will take it.” Marcus said without blinking, his countenance was laced with an intense confidence that shocked everyone around.“Sir, I am not sure you understand, I said that the room costs two hundred thousand dollars per night and we wouldn’t even be able to offer it to you if you are not a VVIP in this place. If you don’t mind, I could recommend a cheaper room for you.”“Francis, don’t even bother, I am sure he wouldn’t even be able to afford to pay ten thousand dollars for the most affordable room we have here. Can’t you see the way he looks, l

CHAPTER THIRTYMira was angry that the poor fellow was trying to turn the whole thing into a show but who didn’t want to see him humiliated? She figured that he was biting more than he could chew and definitely wanted to make sure he was dealt with.“If you do not pay for the room as you have said, you will work for me as my cleaner at home for free for a month.”“And if I do?” Marcus asked with full confidence.“That’s not even possible, I am sure of that.” Mira scoffed and looked at Marcus again. The feeling of confidence crept into her and she was also sure to deal with him for being such a stubborn fellow.“What if I do? What becomes of you?”“I see you still find this funny, if you do then I would come work for you as your cleaner for a month.”“Mira!” Francis said aloud trying to call his colleague to order. Something inside of him told him that there could be more to the man’s shabby appearance and he believed his instincts.“Don’t worry, I am certain that by the time all the
