Marcus lost consciousness, but then Death's head was bashed.He could hear the loud siren as they approached, but he fell each time he tried to stand up.A lot of people gathered around to see what had happened, while some called 911.“Is he dead?”“No, he is breathing!”“Can someone get him some help?”A lot of faces hovered over Marcus's body.The ambulance came, and to everyone's surprise, a man with a mask got down from the back with a mask on.He walked towards Death and landed a huge blow to his face, sending him back to the floor.Death fainted from the blow.The man shot a few rounds into the air, making the whole crowd disperse.Sniper, still feeling the impact of the wound Death had inflicted on him, looked at the back of the car.He saw Marcus lying unconscious and immediately called out to Zeek to come and give him a hand.As they carried Marcus into the back of the van, Sniper came back for Death.“What is going to happen to him?” Sniper looked at Marcus, who was bleeding
Chapter 139
Marcus smiled sheepishly as he drank his drink. He toasted a few times to Jason's death.He would have spared me if I wasn't so bent on having a revenge I couldn't win.He brought out his phone and dialed Ethan's number.“Yes, Marcus. What is the status?” Ethan asked.“He drank the poison, so he should be dead in some hours' time. And don't forget my promise,” Marcus added.“I didn't promise you anything, Marcus. Henry Carter did, and he doesn't owe you anything,” Ethan replied.The line went dead.Marcus could barely believe how Ethan had spoken to him.Here was a man who had been begging him to help them.Marcus said nothing but simply sent me a text message, asking if I had gotten back home.He tapped the table with his fingernails, his heart beating fast.He knew I would reply immediately if I was near my phone, and seeing that I wasn't replying to any of his texts, Marcus believed I was dead.He grabbed his phone and walked out of the bar, going back to his home.All was done.No

I looked at Alessia and didn't know what to say or do to defend my friend. I had just seen my best friend poisoning my drink.“What are you going to do about it?” Alessia asked, staring at my face. “You should get him arrested.”I looked her in the face.“Stay here. We are leaving in a while,” I said and turned back towards the table where Marcus was sitting.“What kept you waiting?” Marcus asked, not knowing anything.“Alessia, her father wants her back,” I lied immediately. “I am sorry. I need to get her home.”At first, I looked at my friend and couldn't believe he could do that to me.Poison me.I noticed his gaze was fixed on the wine.Just to make sure he thought I was going to be dead, I grabbed the cup in front of me and gulped the content at once.I looked at Marcus as I drank and saw the satisfied look on his face.“We are going to talk later,” I said and dashed out of the bar without wasting time.I knew it was only a matter of time before the poison started to work.“Let's

I looked at Marcus.“Wait? Why are you telling me all of a sudden? Is someone threatening you?” I asked, staring at him.“Why! Why would you think of something like that?” Marcus snapped.“Because you know why I am back. I am not going to leave this city until I know why my parents were killed.”I looked angrily at him.“Oh my God! That again!” Marcus said in anger.“Revenge will only lead to more revenge, Jason. Haven't you thought of that?”“What about retribution? Do you know how greatly I suffered?” I said, my voice filled with irritation.“Do you know what I had to overcome to be where I am today? No, you don't.”I looked directly at his face.“While all of you had the best—a good family, a great home—I had none!” I raged.“I know, but we can let all of this go. I am telling you this as a friend who wants to see you live for a very long time. Do you think you can win against all of them? Henry, Ethan, and Dylan, not to mention the fact that your own family wants you dead,” Marcus

I looked at Alessia, who was standing still with her hair rumpled and her clothes a little bit rough. I stared at my phone and at the supposed message from Marcus. The thought of him wanting to talk was all I could think about.“Can you drive yourself home, or do you want me to drop you off?” I raised my head gently and looked at Alessia.I was supposed to feel sorry and apologetic, but I wasn't. Alessia, to me, was a necessity for me to move the company forward. Nothing more, nothing less.“Is that all you are going to say, Jason Carter?” Alessia said, staring at me with her hand akimbo.It was the first time she was going to be looking at me like that.I liked her boldness.No one had ever called me by my full name. I loved the Walker name more, but then, I was a Carter by birth.“What is it?” I asked, looking at her. “Do you want an apology or something?”“I don't need that, but can't you just stand up for me at least once? I know you both knew each other before I was in the pictur
chapter 135
There is an adage that says, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”The Matthews, the Carters, and Marcus all decided to call a meeting on how to stop my marriage from happening.Leonard had always been feared for some reason best known to the Matthews.As everyone sat down, they all stared at each other, not sure how to bring up the topic.Henry was the first person to speak. He looked at each and every one of them before specifically looking at Marcus.“Ethan told me what you wanted, but then, are you ready to pay the sacrifice?” he asked, staring at Marcus's face.There was huge tension in the air.Ethan looked at Marcus. “You heard the old man. He is ready to make your dream come true, but all you need to do is our bidding. Can you do it?”Camilla, Fiona, Dylan, Henry, and Ethan all looked at Marcus.“First, I need you to promise me one thing. Promise you are going to send him out of this country. He is not to be harmed or killed. I might have hated him for stealing all the recogni
