At Frederick's house, Marcus lay in bed, shifting uncomfortably as he tried to find a position that would let him sleep. He missed holding his wife, missed resting his hands on her rounded belly-the belly that carried their children. The memory of the last the did so filled him with pain. Maybe it hadn't been enough. Maybe he had neglected her. Perhaps he had given her reasons to doubt his love.
'Damn it, Marcus! Where is this all going to end?' he muttered inwardly.
Turning to look out the window, he caught sight of the moonlight streaming into the room. His thoughts drifted back to the life he'd had before he met Valerie, before he even knew she existed. Back then, his heart had been dead, his existence driven by vengeance. His sole purpose had been to avenge his family and then join them in death. Everything had changed when Peter cinto his life-a lonely boy with a distant gaze, yet curious and friendly.
'Love has strange ways of showing up,' Marcus thought, 'but it also has painful ways of leaving. Maybe this was karma catching up to him, taking away the one thing he loved most: Valerie.

After that, we'll make the final decision." What Valerie didn't know was that Marcus had already made that decision, and there would be no turning back. He had decided with his head, not his heart-because Valerie's heart had never truly belonged to him. Marcus was grateful for the tthey'd spent together, but he also believed life would never forgive him for his past actions. The only solace he had was knowing that karma had spared his children.
