Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 | Set You Free

I can't bear to see her tormented on our situation. She is the only one who puts up effort to make our set up marriage work like one great happy family. I am not being fair to her.

I used her in order to get the inheritance I needed. The wealthy status that will bring me to Adrianna. To take back the woman that dirty old man took from me. I need to set Marinelle free. I need my freedom to find Adrianna's whereabouts. This is just right. I'm setting her free.

"Marinelle can I get a moment with you?" For two years I hardly talk to her though she physically exist. She's like a shadow of nobody that does not concern me.

"What is it Drake? she asked.

"I'm setting you free." I said with a rough voice.

"Drake you can not file an annulment. You know so well if our marriage becomes null and void you will lose all of what your grandfather bequeathed you."

With a foolish grin plastered on my face. " Who say's I'm filling an annulment? I'm not losing my mind."

"Ahhh! Oh! so? What do you want then?"

She looks confused barely got no words to say. Probably not expecting this.

"No, I'm not but I am allowing you to go anywhere you like and do whatever you want to do. You have your freedom. You are free to do what you want."

"What about Maisey?"

"What about our daughter?"

"I can't leave her."

"I'll take care of her. You deserve to be happy. You suffered long enough for marrying a worthless man like me."

"No. Shh! don't say that. I know you're a good man. I've seen it. I felt it. You were hurt so bad that you feel like you're worthless. But you are not Drake." She put her fingers on my lips to stop me.

"I wish I can give my heart a chance to love you like how I loved her but I can't Marinelle. I don't want to hurt you more. This is me. A womanizer. I can't change that fact anymore. I'll set you free. I'll have my freedom. To be fair and square. This is the best way to end this marriage."

"You can change. I know you can. Maybe not for us or not for me but for our daughter. Try to change Drake for Maiseys sake."

"I can't promise anything to you Marinelle."

"That's fine. I don't have right to change what you already planned. If that's what you want. I'll respect you. I'm leaving. I leave this house as you wish. I will leave my daughter. I hope when I get back you have learned to love yourself. Try to forget her Drake. Remove the veil of her memory that destroys you. She's gone. She will not return to you. She's been long gone. All I wanted is for you to learn to care a little for me Because me, after all of this. I learned to love you."

Suddenly I was lost for words. She learned to love me though the rough treatment I bestowed her. I thought she will choose to stay. I thought she will refuse to go and leave our daughter with me. But she left me too.

Why do I have to feel this way? Like I care for her. Why does it feels like I broke her hurt? I don't want to hurt her because I'm trashed. The nonsense dirty things I do. My life seems almost perfect. I have a wonderful wife. A lovely child. A promising company.

But it is not perfect it will never be perfect because it's not Adrianna. If it was only Adrianna I wouldn't ask for more. My life will be complete. Everything will turn out right.

I did not listen to her.I continued to believe that all woman are deceitful.

Few months after Maiseys accident from the play house I bought her. I realized she needs her parents. That temporarily changed my outlook in life the moment she was looking for her mother. But I can't find valid answer for her. I don't know what to say. Why her mother left. Because I let her mother leave her with me.

I pity my child. I made a wrong decision of letting her go. My daughter needs her mother. But what can I do? I need my freedom. She needs hers too.

I hired a nanny for Maisey to look after her. To take care of her. She was so innocent and a lovely child. She was only three years old back then. Most of the time I take her with me in my office or sometimes on my out of town meetings. Until the business needs changed. The company was to the top of its success. I spent all my time working. I lost time for Maisey. I didn't give attention to our father and daughter time.

After spending more time with the company I found my daughter shunned of me. I hate to admit it but I was never a good father to her.

Days had passed swiftly. I was appointed by my father to take over Lorenzo Group of Company. Now I am now the companies CEO. And that calls for a celebration. So I called Gabby and drink all night and who knows what else I did. Gibbon! Gibbon should know.

After Pops turned over the company to me he left for his long planned European tour and visit his relatives in Germany. It took him almost a year traveling. And it gave me ample months of freedom.

Then I remember what on earth I did last night.

Pops is coming home from his European tour. To celebrate the end of my freedom I asked Gabby out to do our usual. *Happy hour at the bar. Good times.*

"Hey bro what's up? You're handsome as ever."

"Shut up Gabby that is so gay!"

"Hey that was a complement bro."

"Yeah right? How's your wife?"

"Wife is on vacation. That makes me single ready to mingle." He took off his wedding ring and swiftly pocketed it.

"What the hell bro! So what? Same old same old?"

"Yeah!Yeah! That's fine!"

"So what about you Drake? How's your wife? Is she back yet?"

"No. I don't think she will. But father is on his flight back home today."

"Oops you're dead bro! Gone are the happy days of Marvin Drake Lorenzo."

"What else can be? That overly perfect old man."

"If I were you. I'll be like your father."

"Look who's talking! Who just said single ready to mingle."

"I mean like."

"Like what? One woman man? Sh** not so me bro."

"Oh well! Speaking of woman. Here we go again! Sexy lady towards you. F**k you've got me amazed with your mother effin' charm bro! Like whoa! No sweat!"

"Hi! Babe, you can take me home tonight. Don't worry I'm free." Said this woman sitting on my lap now with her arms around my neck. *Sure thing she's not one of the girls here. I have taken out all of them. Maybe she's new.*

"Okay bro! Gotta go. Leaving you alone now. Do your thing!" And he left me with a wink.

"Hey Gabriel! Where do you think you going? Don't leave me here. You f***ker!"

Here. Here I am again. Doing the same worthless things I do. I'm sorry Marinelle. I can't change. This is who I am. Always making out with a woman. I don't like commitment. I just like to take them to bed. And leave them like who cares. They are just worthless deceitful woman. Not even worth a penny.

~~~Flashback~~~

"Drake, what the hell in the world did you do again?" Just right in time my foot landed to the ground floor of this house his loud voice pounding the entire house. I saw Minda and Gibbon carefully took the two new borns wrapped in a flannel cloth infront of our door steps and layed then in the sofa.

"I didn't do anything but sleep all night Pops."

"Ohh? You didn't do anything and sleep all night? Really? That's what you do all day while I'm gone."

"Come on Pops! What is it again?"

"Explain them!" Pointing to the babies in the sofa covered with pink flannel cloths.

"Babies. They look alike. And so?"

"Exactly babies, they look alike and for Pete sake they are your daughters!"

"MY DAUGHTERS? NO! NO! No way! They are not mines!"

"When will you to take life seriously Marvin Drake Lorenzo? First you get married, she got pregnant , give birth and what? You let your wife leave. Ohh! wow! not just leave, you let her live like a queen in America so you can be free while your daughter having a miserable life at home with her nanny every single day.

And what is this two? A fruit fallen from the tree?"

~~~End of Flashback~~~

Where I am last night where everything started. From Adrianna to Tilda and Trish. This is what exactly what happened almost a year ago. I was so wasted. I don't 'effin remember what happened. I wake up with two women beside me, naked. I am sh** naked.
