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-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-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-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 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
