Okay I just had to do this, you are going to have fun trust me.
I had way too much fun writing this chapter ☺️☺️🙈

Here is the 17th installment

Keep up with me my lovelies....

Everything he did was so monotonous that at times he didn't even realize he was doing something. Looking over the files he would spot the error, yell and shout at his employees. Right now the family was on high alert because they knew if he wanted to kill, he would surely have blood. He hadn't seen her in a week but knew she was safe. His men had told him so as they monitored her every movement.

Like right now, he was in the process of beating a man to death and all he could think about was her and that look of hurt. He had hurt her again, and he let out all that frustration into every punch he threw.

He stopped when Max came in panting.
"Wife. Hospital. Emergency."
Was all he caught as he quickly washed his hands grabbing a fresh shirt heading out of the abandoned building. Max took him to the hospital were he found everyone already there. Alex was already there with his own family as they looked beyond worried.
"What is going on?"
"Thank goodness you are here. She collapsed whilst walking out of a cafe and right now they just took her to the OR," Helen said.
"Wait, wait. Why did she collapse? Why are they taking her to theatre?"

"No one knows why she collapsed," Helen replied. "They have to deliver the baby."
"But it's not yet time. She still has two more weeks," he said panicking.
"The doctor said something about fetal distress," she said as Marcel leaned against the wall.
It seemed like forever as they waited for the surgeon.

"They both made it," the doctor said as everyone looked relieved.
"Can I see them," Marcel said.
"Well, she has requested that you not come in. I'm sorry sir."
"I am her husband. I want to see my wife and child," he growled.
"A child you rejected," Alex spat as he walked past him heading to her room.

Marcel looked on as everyone filed into the room hearing their sounds of joy. Looking through the window he saw her smiling, looking tired and in pain.
"Can't you give her some pain medication. She is in pain," he said to no one in particular as the doctor and nurse stood by the door.
"We will in a minute," the doctor said as he saw Helen holding the baby.

He had a son who looked so much like him. He had believed a lie. He had broken them all because of a lie.
The person who sent that note was responsible. But wait he was also responsible for not even trusting her. After all he had done to her, she forgave him and now when she needed him the most he had shunned her.

He stood in the corridor beating himself up for being a fool such that he didn't even notice Alex when he walked up to him.

"Why didn't you contact me. You could be in there right about now. With your family sharing in their happiness."
"Alex...I."
"You don't even know who you married do you?" He said as Marcel looked at him perplexed.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know your wife very well Marcel?"
"What do mean by that of course I know her," he said angrily as Alex shook his head in disappointment.

"I told you one day your idiotic plan would come back to bite you," he said just as several men wearing dark suits passed them heading straight towards her room.

Marcel's eyes widened as he saw her father. He looked too relaxed, too calm as his eyes met Marcel's in passing.

Marcel's POV

What the hell was Alex talking about, I pondered as I left the hospital heading back home. I needed to get a change of clothes for my wife and son. Pushing aside what Alex had said I concentrated on the fact that I was now a father. Pride was not enough to measure what I felt at the fact that I had a son, even if I had a daughter, I would still feel just the same, happy.

Returning back to the hospital I heard her voice. She was arguing with someone, which made me quicken my step towards her room. Two bulky men stood by her door blocking my entry.
"You better move if you know what is good for you," I growled as they looked at each other but not moving an inch.

This resulted in two of my own men stepping up to remove them but they held their ground.
"Stop this nonsense," Nyasha's father said in a voice that easily gained ones attention but not loud enough to gain that of everyone else. He only spoke to the four men in front of him, no one else.

He turned back heading into her room.
"Come in Marcellus," he said bringing me out of my trance as I walked into the room to find another man looking outside, never once acknowledging my presence.
"Mr Mare, it's good to see you again," I said.
The old man gave me a beady eyed look as he took his seat.

Compared to everyone else he was wearing slacks with a starch white shirt open at the collar whilst all the other men where buttoned up.
"You came just in time. I am taking my little girl back home. She has informed me you haven't been living together," he said as I looked at Nyasha. "I see no point in her staying were she in not appreciciated."
She wore the same smile she had the day she saw me cry. I knew trouble was brewing as I recalled Alex saying something about not knowing who I married.

"Nyasha what is going on?"
"I am leaving. And I am taking my child with me. There is no way I will let a monster such as yourself raise my son."
"What are you talking about. You can't go anywhere. I will not allow it!" I yelled.
"Raise your voice at her one more time and you will never utter another word," the other man said as he turned around.
"And who the hell are you to tell me such!"
"Her brother. And from what she has told me, you are very lucky to still be standing or breathing," he said moving towards his sister as Marcel shut his mouth at a loss of words.
He was completely lost.

"My dear we wouldn't be experiencing all of this if you had listened to me in the first place."
"No papa. You should have told me from the beginning."
"Please explain to me what exactly happened at the time I was away," her brother requested.

She let out a sigh as she looked between the two men.

"I heard papa on the phone. He was talking to that idiots father about some arrangement they made way back. An arranged marriage. There was no way I was going to go for such so I created an alias, got some poor bloke to marry me, in this case Malcolm. It was only after I moved here and started living with him did I realize he was an employee of the Martinez family," she said as a smile formed on her face when she looked at her brother.

"I did what you taught me brother and manipulated him. By the end of the first week into our marriage they approached him to work for them. They were paying him to ill treat me so that pretty boy over here could act like some hero and sweep me off my feet.
So I played along and boy did Malcolm dance to my tune ever step of the way. I knew his work schedule by the end of the month, always working late.
So one night I asked Malcolm to rough me up a bit and cut me. He nearly passed out as he held the blade looking at my haggard state the night we 'bumped into each other'," she said as my mouth hung open. "That is the night your plans changed drastically as you now had to improvise," she said with a devious smile.

"You see I married Malcolm to get away from you but there was no escaping you was there. The thought of going back home and facing papa was already out of the question so I stayed and let you all think you were succeeding. Funny though, your father never told you who I really was, I guess his threats really shook you up since you weren't even thinking straight to hatch a stupid plan like you did.

Never for once think you were ahead of me, because for each move you made I was already five steps ahead. The only mistake I made was to get my heart involved along the way.

"The night you proposed marriage was a win because I knew if I mentioned that I was leaving, you would use any means to keep me here. After all your father had threatened to remove you from power if we didn't get married, did he not?"
"So we got married and had what seemed like any other normal marriage until the day I heard you on the phone. I was not hurt by everything you said but by one statement you said. You said I was an easy target with no family to run to. That really struck a nerve I must say after all I do have a family. You should know by now I value family and for you to treat someone like dirt because they do not have family close was just downright disgusting.

Anyways.

I let you find me after those two months, I knew you were creating chaos everywhere. I knew you were in the mafia, but the thing which baffled me the most was you still didn't even have an idea who I was. You didn't even know who you had married. Remind me to thank Hank for creating a superb profile Neil," she said looking at her brother with a fond smile as she slowly got off the bed heading to the bathroom to change.

I stayed rooted in the same spot not knowing what to say as she returned wearing new clothes.

It was only after you threw me out did Alex see the real me. The thing is he expected me to look stressed and worried over my marriage but I was not in the least bit worried. I was having fun," she beamed. "When I told Neil you had thrown me out claiming I was pregnant by another he threw a fit which resulted in some people losing their jobs, and well other their lives. But hey we all have our own coping mechanism.

"You might also be wondering what brought me here. I had a bit of trouble at this little caffe after some idiot refused to stop smoking which triggered an asthma attack hence we are here. But no need to worry. I am perfectly fine now and I must go back home.

I am sure you have seen that this marriage will not work papa," she said just as Alexis walked in with her son.

"Please get me out of here," she smiled at Alexis as she sat in the wheelchair holding her boy."
