Chapter 41

Marcus's POV

I got a text from David my gateman informing me that Jake was at my house. In order to avoid any suspicion I allowed him access to my house. Did they think that I wasn't aware of everything that happens in my house? I was very well informed of everything that happens in my house. I have guards, security and cameras at every corner of my compound who report to me every single day. I was fully aware of all of Zawadi's movements. I wanted to know what my brother was up to and what he was thinking. Since he kissed my girlfriend I wondered why and especially what was his motive.

So before we came to the US I asked that cameras be installed in the house. Every room has a camera installed except for the master bedroom. I know I sound paranoid but I wanted to know for sure without an ounce of doubt that Zawadi was innocent.

I told her that I forgave her and that I believed her but I still have my doubts. I still don't entirely believe her. I know what I said . The cameras were a way to keep tabs on her without her knowledge of course.

When I heard that Jake was in my house ,I connected my iPad to the cameras in the house. I wanted to see for myself, with my own two eyes that there was nothing there. So far he sat on the couch and asked for water. I couldn't hear what they were saying but watching was enough for now.

They sat and talked for a while before he stood up and left as quickly as he arrived. What was that all about? Why did he want to speak to Zee? And what did they have to say to each other? I wanted to kick myself for not having sound . I would have heard what they said clearly. Now I had to find a way to ask Zawadi indirectly.

After he left, Zee was left on the couch thinking. They didn't hug or even exchange a simple handshake. I needed to watch Jake more carefully from now on as I didn't know what he wanted with my girl.

I was starting to think that maybe I laid the blame on the wrong person. Could I have possibly been wrong? I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration, thinking about all the things I accused Zawadi of doing and now there was a possibility that she might be innocent.

I needed to deal with this.

***************************************

Once Jake left, I spent most of my time thinking . I wanted to know if what he said was true but I didn't have anyone to ask. Why would Marcus date he's brothers girlfriend? Wasn't he aware that she was already dating?

I needed to get to the bottom of this. I didn't want to pass judgement without hearing from both parties involved. The biggest problem was how I would bring up this topic to Marcus.

I know Marcus, he won't answer me so I will have to find out for myself. I needed to investigate .The sound of the front door opening and closing brought me back to the present. I waited to see who it was . Marcus walked in looking as handsome as ever, tired from a long day at work.

" Hey love" I said with a smile on my face.

" Hey"

" Welcome home"

" Thanks" he sounded awfully serious.

Looking at his demeanor he was tensed and he had that no nonsense look on his face. The look that said he meant business.

" Did something happen at work?" I was concerned by his attitude.

" What did Jake want?" He said pinning my eyes with his.

" He came by to say hello" I answered going towards the fridge to pour myself a glass of milk.

" So you want to say he came all this way to say hello" his asked not very convinced by my answer.

" Yes"

" Please tell me what he wanted" he said coming to stand next to me.

" He came to apologize for causing a rift between us and for what happened afterwards"

I didn't have to tell him everything. So I told him enough to satisfy him. But wait, this was my chance to ask my question.

"He also told me about Katelyn" I whispered.

He stiffened immediately I mentioned her name and his eyes went wide with shock before he recovered and masked his emotions.

"What about Katelyn?" he growled.

"Did you know that she was dating your brother before you started dating her?"

"No! I did not! When we met she was very single. why would my brother say such a thing?" he asked puzzled by his brothers allegations and behavior.

"Maybe because he was in love with her. Are you sure she was single?"

"Yes I am absolutely sure. What is wrong with my brother? Why is he behaving like this?"

"I really don't know, he is your brother after all. You should know him better than I do"

"Apparently I also don't know him as well as I thought that too. Lets not talk about this please, it's giving me a headache" he pleaded

He looked so hurt by his brothers actions so I resolved to let it go for now and not cause him more pain.

"okay my love"

" Thank God. I don't want him around you" he stated.

" Me too love"

He leaned forward and kissed me.

" I missed you so much while I was at work"

He placed his forehead on mine and we listened to each other breath.

" I missed you too" I whispered.

A smirk spread on his lips before he took my lips for another kiss. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He took the stairs to our bedroom where he placed me on the bed and undressed me.

We made love again and again until I was overcome by emotions that screamed that I loved him. The moment I said those words he stiffened on top of me. He stopped what he was doing on top of me and fell on the bed. We both tried to come down and breath normally.

He didn't say anything or comment about me being in love with him. He pulled me in his arms and we were both left with our thoughts.

Was Jake right about Marcus? That was the question I kept asking myself over and over again before I fell asleep.
