Marcus walked toward the window at the end of the corridor, took a drag of his cigarette and glared at Giovanni’s almost lifeless body on the floor. It was obvious that he was still fuming.
Millie rose to her feet, her lips caught between her teeth, a clear sign of her distress.
Marcus, having thrown his cigarette away, approached her with concern in his eyes.
“Are you hurt?” he inquired, his tone filled with worry.

Marcus was so fierce earlier; almost savage. Still, she understood that his rage had been fueled by his desire to protect her.
“Go to your room. I’ll wait for Derek,” Marcus said softly, the storm of his anger now subsided.
Millie responded, “Okay.”
Derek arrived ten minutes later, his expression one of hurried concern. Recognition dawned on him as he identified the battered man on the floor as one of the stalkers he had thought dead. His surprise was mirrored in his voice as he looked to Marcus.
“Don’t let him die,” Marcus commanded.
Derek’s face twisted with confusion. “Why do you want to keep this menace alive?”
“[ still have suse for this bastard.” With those words, Marcus turned and made his way to the room where Millie waited.
Millie sat on the sofa, her arms tightly crossed, lost in a daze of shock and fear. The day’s events had shaken her to her core.

Marcus’ restraint faltered as he considered Millie’s mood. She should have been filled with joy that evening, but now her face was etched with fear and concern. A surge of anger took hold of him, propelling him towards the table. He swiftly bent down, opened the bottom drawer, and retrieved a black gun.
“I will take down Fiona so that she’ll never disturb you again,” he vowed, his voice filled with determination.
Millie’s eyes widened in shock.
Marcus was planning to kill Fiona? She was shocked to find that he was holding a gun. She had never known about the weapon hidden in their home.
She raced after him, her heart pounding. But by the tshe reached the downstairs, he had already driven away.
Panic set in, and Millie quickly hailed a taxi, knowing that Marcus’ desire for revenge could lead to dire consequences.
“Hurry up and catch up with the car in front of us,” she instructed.
