CHAPTER 4 "MARCO"

- "Sir\, your father is here and wants to see you" —Daniel\, his assistant\, informs Marco.

- "Make it happen" - it's time to face the questions of papa\, Marco thought.

- "Right away Sir" - Daniel leaves the office to bring in Mr. Jeremy\, Marco's father.

Marco is the youngest of the Grimaldi Family, one of the most recognized in the City, although from an early age Marco began to forge his future and his company independent from the rest of his family, he had grown a lot within the world of industry, his Consorcio was not only dedicated to a single field as it had created one that invested in Robotics, food, the manufacture of innovative household utensils and one of its passions, Literature, therefore it had a large publisher of the most recognized in the world. Midkovia city.

- "Good morning\, Father\, who brings you to my office so early" - Marco greets\, standing up and approaching his father\, to shake his hand.

- “Good morning son\, I just follow an old saying that says\, if the mountain does not come to you\, you go to the mountain\, you have not visited us for a month and we know very little about you\, because you have been avoiding our presence\, your mother is worried about you ”- Jeremy reproaches him\, rejecting his handshake and hugging his son.

- "I'm sorry I've been busy lately\, I'll go visit you soon\, tell my mother I'm fine" - he says as he leaves his father's embrace\, Marco has never liked this type of demonstration.

- "Son we know that it is not only work that overwhelms you\, we know you and we know that work is not a reason to evade your parents\, especially your mother" - asks Jeremy\, taking a seat on a large sofa that adorns the large office.

- "I said I'm fine Father\, so that you can be more calm tonight I will go to dinner" - Marco knows that his father will not leave if he does not promise that\, everything is for his Mother.

- “Okay Son\, I am retiring\, we wait for you at night; Before I go\, you know that you can count on your parents and you can talk about anything\, goodbye ”-.

Marco knew that his father was right, it was not only work that had him so overwhelmed, but what happened that night, that tormented him night after night.

After a mostly quiet dinner, not without having to listen to his mother's reproaches and scolding for all the time that he did not visit her, Marco goes home, that night the words that his mother gave him make him somehow everything that was experienced that night comes more clearly that night.

A month ago…

- "Sir\, I think you should stop drinking\," says Daniel\, although terrified because he knows that no one gives orders to his boss\, but since he has worked with him for so many years\, he already feels that he esteems him and cares about his health.

Marco is not a man who drinks that way and less in a place like that, he had ordered him to stop the car at a bar that had just passed, after having discovered the infidelity of his fiancee Dayana. Marco just wanted to take no matter the place, he wanted to erase that image of his fiancée until that moment, in the arms of another, giving him her body.

- "Who do you think you are to tell me to stop drinking? I want you to leave right now\, I don't want to see you\, let me just go" - Marco growls at his assistant Daniel.

- "But Lord\, you are too taken" - he insists.

- "I said go!" - Marco raises his voice\, so much so that most of those in the place turn to see the scene.

Daniel obeys the order of his Boss but not completely, because he only leaves the Bar and waits for him outside, he could not leave him alone in those conditions and less in that place.-Marco should not drink that way and less for that slut, later It was well known that she was only with Marco for his money, but he had fallen in love with her- Daniel thought as he took a seat on a bench that was just outside the Bar, just under a canopy to protect himself from the rain, Despite the fact that it was barely 4 in the afternoon, the day is very dark, that day it dawned raining and it seems that the rain will continue until night.

Already after 9 o'clock at night Daniel decides to go back to the Bar because it is already late and Marco has already been drinking all day, to his surprise Marco is no longer there.

- "Excuse me\, do you know where the young man who was together in this place is?" - Daniel asks the bartender. who in turn on tour to see Daniel with the face of few friends.

- "No\, the young man left a long time ago" - answers the bartender\, without much interest.

- "But that is not possible\, I have been standing outside the Bar waiting for him" - Daniel does not believe that his boss left without him noticing.

Seeing that he is worried, the bartender approaches him and says - "Oh, I remember, the young man did not go out the front door, he got very stupid and went out the back door" -.

Daniel was leaving and a color came to his face, if something happened to Marco, he couldn't imagine what might happen, and he wouldn't even forgive himself.

Daniel runs out of the Bar through the same door that Marco had used to leave the bar and begins to search for him incessantly.

A few blocks later Marco was wandering through the streets still with a bottle in hand and muttering things to himself, when he looks at a young man in the distance, when he sees her his heart lights up with courage.

- "Dayana!"

—Marco yells at him, but he doesn't get an answer, so he decides to go for her, he's not going to allow her to leave without giving him a single explanation of what he did to her, he can't forgive her.

Before he can reach her, he slips and falls behind a garbage can, with difficulty he gets up, because alcohol is already beginning to take its toll and his feet no longer respond in the same way, being fully incorporated he realizes that 'Dayana' has started to walk faster, so how can he run after her and when he has her close he hits him on the head with the bottle he was still holding.

- "You are a bitch\, how could you do this to me\, just before the Wedding\, you will pay for this\, you will regret it!" - Marco yelled at her and insulted her while the young woman struggled and tried to free herself from his grip\, which made Marco more angry.

- "How dare you try to run away from me\, when you shamelessly surrendered yourself to the arms of another\, I will give you what you deserve" - he yelled and took the arms of that young woman with more force.

Marco kept insulting who for his eyes was his ex-fiancee Dayana, when almost she escapes from him, Marco takes out a knife and sticks it in his arm which makes the young woman scream and twist in pain.

- "Now you feel what my heart felt to find you in the arms of another" - he spat out those words with courage.

While he tore her clothes in anger and outraged her body with resentment and anger, taking it as his own as if it were just an object with which he could vent all his frustration.

By the time everything is over, the young woman, as if totally unconscious, was lying se-mi-***** on the floor of that dark alley, Marco stands to one side and stands up with difficulty, the struggle he had had with the The young man had left him almost exhausted, he decides that it is time to leave, but before he leaves, a light illuminates the young woman's face.

Marco freezes because it was not Dayana as he thought, drunk he leaves the place stumbling over things, until he is thrown by a young man who was traveling on his motorcycle.

At that moment Daniel observes the scene in the distance, on the other side of the street.

- "Sir\, how are you feeling? Please don't move\, I'll go get the Doctor" - says Daniel\, stopping Marco while he tries to get up from the bed.

- "Don't wait Daniel\, first tell me where am I?" - He takes him by the arm and asks a very stunned person.

- “He is in the Hospital Señor- says Daniel stopping by Marco's grasp- last night a young man ran him over\, but don't worry; all that was solved\, the young man will pay for what he did ”—Daniel says to his boss\, although in reality the young man who had run over Marco would not pay anything\, because Daniel had looked at everything and knew that his boss had been the culprit\, but I would not tell him that.

Marco releases him from his grip and Daniel leaves for the Doctor while he remains in the room immersed in his thoughts, 'how did I get here' he thought, 'because I feel this pain in my chest', there was something that disturbed Marco He felt that he had done something wrong, but he did not remember what.

- "Here is the Doctor sir" - interrupts Daniel\, pulling him out of his thoughts.

- “At last wake up Young Grimaldi- breathe with relief- tell me how do you feel\, any discomfort that we have to worry about?” - asks the doctor.

- "No\, no Doctor\, if I have nothing serious\, I would like you to discharge me right now" —orders Marco.

- "Immediately\, I will only give you some medications for if you have any pain in your blows and an ointment for the scrapes" - the Doctor finishes his check-up and leaves.

Once the Doctor discharges him and the medications, Marco leaves the Hospital.

- "Does anyone know I was here?" - Marco asks Daniel already in the car on his way home.

- "No sir\, I thought the best thing to do was not to warn anyone" - he answers with concentration and without taking his eyes off the road.

- "Well\, no word about what happened to anyone" —orders Marco.

Daniel nods and steps on the accelerator more.
