Marcel woke up feeling like a different man.

He stretched in the massive bed, sunlight pouring through floor to ceiling windows. No more aching back from cheap mattresses. No more worry about bills. He stood tall, slipped on a tailored shirt that cost more than his old yearly rent, and looked in the mirror. His voice came out smoother, deeper. "Today the world listens when I speak."

"You seem in a good mood today." he spoke cautiously Olivia walked to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I am. I have been thinking about us. About everything.

Lily walked out of the therapy studio, she didn't use her crushes anymore but she limped slightly, then came the guards, Drake blinked, he hadnt expected themHe moved forward still, with two of Marcel security guards beside her, he wasn't sure this would be as easy. Drake heart raced. He had the knife ready in his pocket. He moved closer. "This is for Cain," he whispered to himself. "One quick move and her head is mine." One guard noticed him. "Hey. Back off." Drake pulled the knife out fast. He grabbed Lily from behind and pressed the blade to her throat. "Nobody move. Or I'll slit her throat right here." Lily gasped as her legs lost balance. "please Let me go." The guards froze. "Do not do this," one said. "You will not make it out alive." Drake pressed the knife harder. "Try me one more step and she dies."

The word kill didn't seem to affect Marcel anymore, Marcel was still looking at the outside view deep in thoughts when the door opened.Marcus walked in slowly. He looked better but the empty sleeve where his arm used to be was a reminder of everything that had happened. "It has been a while," Marcel said. "How are you feeling?"Marcus sat down across from him. "Better. The therapy is helping.Never thought I'd get use to living with one arm, but I guess I can say I'm use to it"Marcel simply nodded, he's mind still not settled Marcus looked up at him carefully "Lily is still very angry at you. She barely even talked to me when I visited her yesterday. She said you are not the same person anymore."Marcel

    Marcel was almost rolling on the ground half an hour later. "let me get this straight?" Marcel leaned in on the now Terrified Jake, "You came here to threaten me with nothing more than what your ex said, no evidence at all" "She said you killed people..." Jake manage to choke out Marcel burst out laughing again, he wiped an imaginary tear from his eyes, "Wow, I can only imagine the luxury of being this stupid" Jake now sat in a secluded empty room, Marcel was now considering making hus torture room. "You obviously didn't learn your lesson the last time, how can you not understand that Olivia really doesn't give a fuck about you, she just wants the bag" "That's a lie, you have her trapped, and I'll let everyone know" Marcel chuckled lightly "Who's everyone?" Jake paused, with his mouth open like he was about to say something. Marcel cocked his head as if to listen. "I... I was going to tell the police" Jake stuttered Marcel was laughing hard again "was?, dude really?
