Semua Bab Secrets and Second Chances : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Tony Woods's POVThat was the second time Marcus has amazed me in the space of ten minutes. If he wasn't my friend, I would have doubted that he was a magician.I have never witnessed anyone exhibit such brilliance before. Marcus barely said a word to explain how he managed to call the cops unnoticed. All he did was smile at me and touch his chest, signaling me to stay calm and that he had everything under control. Some moments later, I heard the siren of a cab heading towards my company's premises. I needed no one to tell me that the policemen had arrived. “That was fast, Marcus. I never expected that.How did you manage to pull that up again,” I said to Marcus while still trying to fathom how the policemen showed up so quickly. It wasn't too long before I questioned Marcus about how he invited the cops without my consent. “Don't worry about that. It's not necessary for now. I don't want us to waste our time on irrelevance when we have other issues to be bothered with,” Ma

Tony Woods POV“Sir, I hope you do know that you're the one delaying this investigation, right?I wouldn't want you to play the victim card when the table gets turned in your favor. For crying out loud, it's getting late, and we haven't done anything significant,” Marcus told me, even when I warned him not to speak. He spoke so fast, as though he were under immense pressure. It was obvious that he couldn't keep the thought to himself for too long. What he said about me was rather degrading. Such an act could be capable of bringing out the best in me. But what was I supposed to do anyway? Absolutely nothing!I didn't pick any offense in what Marcus said about me, and neither did I retaliate that he used a harsh tone on me even when he shouldn't be doing that. Irrespective of how everything will play out, I always expected him to be on my side at all times. Inside of me, I knew he was right. I was doing the same thing I was kicked against a couple of minutes ago. I had a glance

Tony Woods's POVI could recall getting into a huge fight with my son because he kicked against my marriage to Angela. He tried to make me understand that Angela never loved me, but I ignored him, saying he was drunk. My ex-wife said the same thing. Unlike my son's advice, My ex-wife revealed how she had caught Angela flirting around the city with numerous guys. Did I listen to her?Of course not. What did I do? I called her a jealous fellow. I accused her of trying to sabotage my marriage to Angela because I ended things with her. Seven years later, the warnings from those who mattered to me are starting to haunt me. Back then, I gave a thousand reasons I wanted to get married to Angela. But today, I can't even speak up to save my life. “What are you talking about, Marcus? Why would you ask me why I married Angela?” I sparked outrageously at Marcus. I tried to act tough and pretend that what he said never mattered. But deep down, I cared the most. I maintained a straight

Tony Woods's POV"Introduce you to whom? Who the heck are you talking about? You need to have your head examined because it's obvious that you've lost it. When, lady, did you have your medication?' I yelled at Angela with the last strength inside of me. It wasn't my intention to yell at her in such a manner, but she pushed me to the wall, and I had no choice. “Oh? You are going to pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about? You try to play smart but unfortunately, you aren't,” Angela retaliated. I thought yelling at her was going to scare her a bit, but I was wrong. I didn't know where she got the strength from. I was lost, yet stunned by how Angela managed to pull up that defense mechanism. Coming from someone who has so many dirty secrets. If there's anyone who is entitled to be upset, clearly it should be me.Quietly, I sauntered to the wardrobe and selected my pajamas. Right in her presence, I wore it and grabbed my pillow. “Where the heck are you heading to r

Tony Woods POV“You heard me right, Mr. Woods. That's exactly what I said. Are you searching for your son and wife?” The Doctor repeated the question. It turned out that my eardrums weren't damaged after all, as I had thought. “Hold on a sec, sir! I want to get this straight. This still doesn't look real to me. I want to ask you a question. Were you aware that your son was rushed inside by your wife?” The Doctor asked me again. He saw the look on my face and knew something was wrong. I wasn't the Tony Woods he has known for decades now. Personally, there was something very awful about me.It was as though someone was seated somewhere controlling my movement with a remote or some sort of. I was too perplexed to speak. Spinning my head around, I caught the Nurse at the reception staring at me. The same nurse who told me that my son, Kelly, wasn't admitted to their hospital I had a thousand reasons to speak, but I also considered how detrimental my confession would be to he
