Marcus had made the necessary arrangements to have Lori and her family relocated abroad. He also had his mind set on sending Rachel with them after his encounter with his uncle the afternoon of the kidnapping, but Rachel had opted to stay back and she was adamant about it.

He sighed as he sat down in his office as he wondered why she was being so stubborn and wouldn’t allow him to protect her. Oh, that’s right, he already knew why. She had already told him her reasons but still she had to know that she was in danger because his uncle would do anything to get to him. He couldn’t have her still in the house with that man.

Apart from sending Lori to safety and having a mild fight with Rachel about taking her to safety also, the police; specifically, Eric, the chief and Callum the detective had done their part in contacting the officers in Italy to help them with the security issue. When the officers over there were informed that a Wei would be paying them for the job, they jumped at the

    “Help me.” His body fell to the ground with a dull thud, snapping the members of the Wei family and their lawyer to snap out of their shocked trance. Even still, they all stood there staring at the fallen body for what seemed like a minute until Marcus made the first move. “Guards!” Micah shouted out, calling for back-up in case anything underhanded was about to happen. Marcus, on the other hand, started to move over to where Mark lay on the floor when his father tried to call him back. “Marcus, don’t.” Micah said, trying to get Marcus to stay in place until their security could check out the still body first but Marcus did no such thing, already getting free of his father’s grip and moving closer to Mark. Everyone else watched on with bated breath. As soon Marcus reached the body, he bent down and checked the pulse by placing two fingers on Mark’s neck. There was a pulse, not strong but not faint either. Marcus turned back just as the doors were thrown open and four large men

  • Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three: BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

    “What was the content of the footage you showed the police?” Marcus asked as he and his lawyer got into the car that was waiting for them when they got out of the police station. It was a quick interrogation like he anticipated and he did tell his father that it would be but still, the thought of them all thinking that he had a hand in Finch’s death lingered with him. “You haven’t seen it yet sir?” Grayson said as he shut the door behind Marcus, pulling him back to the present. He turned around and entered the car on the other side when Marcus replied to him.“Not yet. I was being held, remember?”Grayson chuckled and fetched a tablet from his bag. He turned it on and pressed some things before handing the device over to Marcus."I had the footage copied to my device and some others just in case it was ever corrupted. Better to be safe than sorry." the lawyer said with a shrug.“You are as resourceful as ever, Grayson.” Marcus mused, taking the tablet from him. “Thank you, sir.” Gra

  • Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two: NON-BELIEVERS

    Marcus sat in the interrogation room after about three to four hours, feeling a mix of anger, frustration, and confusion. He had been arrested for the murder of Emery Finch; a business or personal rival as others would see it, who had been found dead in his home after a lavish party but no one of the officers had been in yet to see him or even ask him questions about the supposed murder. The police had also discovered severed fingers in Marcus's bedroom, which they claimed belonged to Finch and Finch’s dead and mutilated body out in the garden. So, why were none of them in the room with him grilling him about it all. Marcus already had an idea of which questions they were going to ask him, so he was kind of prepared for the interrogation. Not like there was anything to prepare for. He was innocent. Just then the door opened and in walked two familiar faces. Eric Coleman and Callum Bennet. Coleman had a somewhat sad look on his face and Callum, as always, looked calculating like he wa

  • Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One: CHESS AND CHECKERS

    Marcus and his father shared a look. Who the hell called the police? “Open the gates. We have a warrant.” The officer shouted out again, the speakers from the gate intercoms blaring loudly.Marcus looked at the body, nervous about it being seen in his compound. For the police to be here then someone must have called them. Mark maybe? He frowned and turned to one of his men. “Tell the guards to let them in through the inner gates. We’ll receive them in the lobby.” The man walked off to deliver the message as Marcus turned back to the rest of them and his father. “We’ll leave the scene like this. The one in my room too. The police were called here and would probably decide to arrest me on the grounds of what happened at the event tonight. Coupled with the eyewitnesses from the party they would assume that I killed Finch due to the altercation. Let them go through the evidence and get all that they need. I’ll handle the rest.” “They can’t arrest you. You’re innocent. I will not sta

  • Chapter One Hundred and Thirty: ON ALERT

    “What the hell happened tonight?” Marcus shouted at the top of his lungs as he addressed the whole of the security team that was meant to be on top of things while the event was going on. They all stood in the lobby, a bit of fear creeping into all the people in the room. Men flinched at the authority but knew better than to stand up to the Wei heir. As at that moment, several minutes after Marcus had discovered the grim gift left for him by Mark himself, the event was brought to a close and the guests were told to leave. They were fed a lie about a stray animal wandering onto the property; using the news about the zoo losing a lion to their advantage, and them not being able to find it in time. The lie was fed to the guests and to avoid any problems everyone was asked to go home. Marcus had then promptly called every single member of his security team to address them on the bullshit he had just encountered in his own bedroom. On the night of a freaking annual ball no less. He had

  • Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Nine: A SIGNED LETTER

    Marcus had walked off with Rachel leaving his father to pick up the pieces of the shocked guests. The scene had put the ball at a standstill as people whispered to themselves spreading their own version of what happened and trying to understand why Marcus was so riled up because of it. Neither of them knew that Marcus and Rachel were even married to begin with.Micah had stepped up to the plate to handle the rest of the event, allowing his son to take care of a possibly wounded Rachel. He addressed the crowd, taking their minds off what had just happened. “I’m sorry for the commotion everyone but I want to assure everyone that it has been taken care of. So, if we could all just go back to the ball and begin our fundraiser for the orphanages of New York city.” The crowd moved like mindless creatures and clapped completely following Micah’s lead but not entirely removing their minds from the escapade that Finch pulled. As the event went on and the jubilations continued, Marcus and R
