    That night,Gary couldn’t sleep.He paced to and fro thinking about the fact that Marcelo just keeps surprising them recently.

    Firstly, from thinking he was a disabled loser to finding out he owned the most powerfulpany in the country.And now, he wasn’t disabled!

    That nephew of his deceived him!

    Back then, that ident was meant to kill both Sebastian and Marcelo.

    But Marcelo had survived.

    Gary had wanted to make another attempt on his life but finding out that he was disabled made him feel that there was no need.

    Now,looking back, he felt enraged.

    Marcelo had deceived him!

    Marcelo had made him think that he was a disabled loser while he secretly made moves.

    Gary felt like tearing down the whole house.

    He needed to go see his father.They needed to talk about how to eliminate Marcelo once and for all!

    They couldn’t let Marcelo get more powerful than this.

    As Gary went up to Paul’s study, he was about to knock when he heard Paul’s voice.

    “I am not getting any younger.And it pains me to realize now how evil I had been.How can I possibly face my son after tormenting his wife and children for years.Even after Sebastian’s death, I never once reached out to Marcelo to try and be a grandfather to him and console him.Now I can understand how he could be driven to stay disable for years.But at the same time; I’m proud of how far he’se despite everything he’s been.It’s only right I give thepany back to him.It was his father’s sweat and hard work to begin with.”

    Gary’s jaw dropped.

    “Yes, you shoulde by tomorrow.I want to change the willb./bb” /b

    Gary scoffed.

    Change the will?

    Not under his watch!

    As Paul ended the call,he sighed heavily.

    No one knew this but the King Group was slowly going under.

    He found out not long that Gary had been embezzlingpany’s funds and King Group was slowly going bankrupt,

    It was just its name that was saving thepany at this point.

    He felt Marcelo deserved to head thepany.He never should have taken it from him in the first ce.

    But how could he possibly apologize now after years of tormenting Marcelo.

    *********

    bMarcelo /bmet up with Vivian at a Cafe.He had booked the whole cafe because he didn’t need anyone taking pictures and making spections about him and Vivian.

    He was sick and tired of the gossip..

    When Vivian walked into the cafe and realize that it was just the two of them, she felt so happy.

    She slowly sat opposite to him.

    “Why haven’t you ordered anything?You know my favorite She said with a smile.

    Marcelo stared at what she was wearing The weather was cold, yet she was dressed in a skimpy dress which exposed her boobs.

    He realized now that she had always dressed this revealing around him.It never bothered him because he assumed that was her style of dressing plus, he wasn’t interested in her to bother about what she was wearing.

    But now,it made sense as he put the pieces together of how she always argued with Renee and even when she came to his house to cook, she had really been crossing lines and he felt foolish not to notice until now.

    “We aren’t here to eat.“He said to her,coldly.“Why did you tell Renee that we were engaged? When did that ever happen?”

    Vivian blinked, rapidly, shocked that Renee had asked him about that.

    She had wanted to create misunderstandings after misunderstandings between Renee and Marcelo but she didn’t expect that they would actually talk it out.

    She quickly feign confusion.“I never told her something like that.”

    “Vivian,I didn’te here to beat around the bush.Renee wasn’t lying.”

    “So you think I’m the one lying right now?”

    “Yes, just like how you hid the fact from me that you had tried to ruin Renee’s show. You made me help you so you could go gloat about it to her!”

    Vivian swallowed.She had never seen him this pissed at her before.

    “I…how could you say something like that to me, Marcelo.I never tried to ruin her show…I…“And then, she started shading fake tears.

    “Catherine mentioned somethingst night.About you telling her to hurt Renee.I have no doubts about it now.And letting this go will be thest favor I will do for you for the sake of Sebastian.I do not know how and why you changed. You’re not the same girl he loved and I would not be helping you with anything anymore.“With that, he stood up to his feet and walked passed her.

    Vivian bit her lower lip.

    Had she really lost ball /bchances of been with him?

    Well, since there was nothing left to lose anymore, she had better get this off her chest.

    It’s your fault that I changed.”

    Marcelo stopped walking.

    b“/bbIf /byou had taken notice of me sooner, bif /byou had seen how much I love you, I wouldn’t have changed.”

    Marcelo bfrowned/b.

    Finding out that she was interested in him was one thing but

    He slowly turned to face her.

    g her say it out loud was another.

    “Do you seriously not care about how Sebastian would feel bearing you say that?”

    “He’s dead!Stop caring about what he’d feel.I know that there might’ve been a chance between us if you didn’t care about your brother so much.“She moved closer to him,

    Marceloughed.“A chance between us?What gave you that delusion?b” /b

    “So you can boldly say you were never interested in me?“She said in a seductive voice as she slowly gestured at her body.

    “I never was.I only saw you as a woman my brother loved dearly.I felt it would bring him more peace if I kept my promise to him…”

    “How can you still say that?!After everything!After everything I’ve done to make you attracted to me.I dated Sebastian to be closer to you.I sometimes kissed him and made out with him in your presence to make you jealous! I gave you all the signals with my body, with my words to show that I wanted you.I’ve wanted you for a long time, Marcelo!I’ve loved you for so long.I know you better than any woman.How could you keep acting clueless until now?!“She blurted out.

    Her confession filled him with anger.

    Anger towards the fact that Sebastian had loved her wholeheartedly but she was just using him?

    “I wasn’t acting clueless, I was genuinely clueless to the fact that you were a horrible person!”

    “You keep lying to yourself, Marcelo.I’m sure that if Sebastian…”

    “I never found you attractive even when Sebastian was alive and until now, I don’t.So stop it!I thought I might feel guilty with my decision of not helping you anymore because of him.But I’m sure he’d be pleased with it now.Do not evere close to me or my woman ever again, Vivian. If you do, I’ll fucking kill you!Anyone who poses harm to Renee from now on would not to spared!“With that, he stormed off.

    Vivian slumped on the chair and burst into tears.

    How did things turn out like this?

    How could she lose himpletely?

    She never saw thising and there was noing back from the fact that he hated her with passion now.

    She had lost all chances of ever being with him.

    Well, the chances she ever had of being with him was in her dreams anyway.

    “I can’t believe you kept the fact that he can walk from me Sarah pretended to be mad at Renee.

    She had hurried off to see Renee this morning when she saw the news.

    “I’m sorry,it was a very important secret of his.“Renee apologized for the umpteenth time.

    “Well,it didn’t seem to be so important with the way he rushed over to save you.My God, when I watched the videost night,it felt as if bI /bwas watching a soap opera.Oh, Renee I knew that man was into you but you didn’t tell me it

    bwas /bthat much.”

    Renee blushed.

    Gosh, she had been a blushing mess since Marcelo confessed his love for herst night.

    Renee and Sarah chatted for a while and when Sarah went online,she announced.

    “I just read that Marcelo is having a press conference. The inte is going abuzz with it.”

    Renee’s eyes dted and she asked.

    “What channel?”

    “423.‘

    She quickly turned on the channel on the TV and he was really having a press conference.

    He was standing in a hall and there was so many reporters in front of him.

    Renee frowned.He didn’t tell her he was having a press conference.

    “Many of you have questions.And the most would be, how can Marcelo King walk all of a sudden? And I had said I owed no one an exnation but that’s true.But I owe someone this exnation.Renee.”

    “Oh my God! This press conference is for you!“Sarah cooed.

    Renee ran a hand through her hair.

    What did he possibly had to say to her that she didn’t know?

    “I was a very bitter man.My life was ck and white.And I thought it was better that way.I thought it was better being wheelchair bound and broken, both in my body and soul.Renee and I had an arranged marriage.”

    The sh from cameras increased at that point.

    “Yes,she’s my wife.She’s the reason why I can stand here confidently today.She’s the reason why I could abandon that wheelchair.She brought color into my life, she brought sweet, she brought light.Renee showed me how beautiful life was.I have never met anyone as strong and beautiful as she is.And no one should ever dare to attach her remarkable talents and aplishments to me.Even I am in awe of how excellent my wife is.Sometimes, I feel I don’t deserve her. But even if I don’t, I will keep trying to be the perfect man for her.That is how much I love my wife.” 1

    “Did this man just go up to National TV to confess his love for you?“Sarah gushed.“Renee, you didn’t tell me he was this romantic.”

    Renee just stared at the screen with tears in her eyes.

    “Lastly, there should be no more rumors about Vivian Lambert and me.Vivian was my brother’s woman and that is why I was acquainted with her.There was never anything between us and there never will.If you must ship m with anyone, it must be with my wife, I’m begging you.“He said, with his palms together and that made the reportersughed.

    Even Reneeughed.

    “In conclusion, Marcelo King has recovered and can work now and he is a married man.“He then looked straight.

    “Renee, I love you.“He then made a love shape with his hands above his head.

    “Oh my God!“Sarahughed.“The single people are particrly going to feel alone tonight.”

    Chapter 177 Get Renee

    bRenee /bbsmiled/bb, /bher cheeks red as she continued to stare at her husband on the screen.

    b“/bI’m so happy for you, Renee.“Sarah cooed, holding Renee’s hands.

    Renee couldn’t stop smiling.

    She felt so happy too.

    Gary stared at the screen as the press conference ended and scoffed then he nced at his father whoid slumped on the swivel chair after drinking a cup of coffee.

    “Don’t you worry, a few others will join you soon.“He said to Paul who looked motionless.

    Gary’s teeth clenched.

    So Renee was this important to Marcelo?

    Well, he would have to put off the light in his life.

    He realized now that only Jessica won’t be enough to put Marcelo in check.

    Bringing out his cellphone, he ordered his men.

    “I need you to get Renee,Marcelo’s wife to the Den as soon as possible!”
