“And Marcus? Where is your husband?” Maximus asked, doubtful.
“Maximus… Can you help me?” Valerie responded without wanting to give any details.
“Of course! Let me talk to Matthew, he’s the only one who can help me send someone. I can find you a hotel to stay at…”
“Thank you…”
Maximus paused for a moment in silence. He knew something had gone wrong, and part of it was his fault.
“No problem…. We’ll send someone for you shortly.”
“Thank you, Maximus…” Valerie said in a subdued tone.
After finishing the call, Maximus sighed. At that precise moment, he was dealing with a group of reporters who had gathered outside the building where he currently lived with Diana. He was trying to manage the journalists, and to add to the stress, a few officers had arrived at his apartment to take him to the station just as Valerie was calling.
“Mr. Palmer, we know you have contact with your brother, and we need you to cooperate with the authorities. You must remember that covering for him could bring severe consequences.”

“I still don’t understand why you want him alive… I’ve known you for a long time, and you never cared about someone who was in your way. Why with this guy?”
“I want him to suffer! Besides, he’s my ticket to clean the Bartz name.”
“Marcus, I just hope you know what you’re getting yourself into… I can tell you’re upset, but it seems like you’re heading straight to hell.”
“I am!”
“Peter Palmer?”
“I gave
his brother 24 hours to get him out of the country and send him far away. If he doesn’t do it, it will be his problem. Three hours have passed. Starting tomorrow, you have a free hand to do whatever you want with him.”
“Are you completely sure?”
