Chapter 11 - Chapter 09: Spilled Secrets

What was happening with Marcus and his episodes, Diana had no clue about them. Neither did she even think about him. She woke up feeling so sad and overwhelmed after having dreams about Jacob the whole night and that made her very sad. She knew there was nothing to pick up from the marriage, it was done. Jacob had left New York without even saying anything nor picking up calls and that left Diana worried about where they stood. It was a weekend hence she knew exactly what her weekend schedule consisted of.

Every Saturday and Sunday mornings are for Diana to run in the park with her friends, Jared and Demi. It was their usual routine which made them sure to catch up with a little bit of gossip, stretching, and catching up. They formed that routine since they were in Havard and they continued with it when Demi came back from London and moved to New York, Jared however was always a New Yorker and as he always likes to put it "Its either you are a New Yorker, Angelino, or you nothing" and being glamorous as he was, he needed a space to contain him and abroad didn't sound like a good choice.

This Saturday however was different and Diana was still on bed weeping silently while looking at the wedding photos of she and Jacob. Admiring the past days when their love was all over the moon - blossoming like morning flowers waiting to be watered. Yet, now everything was dead. Romance was dead, connection was dead and to the most crucial thing she was so scared of admiting was also dead, and that was their marriage.

In the midst of her feelings, suddenly the door to the living room was opened. Diana hoped to her feet and started calling out "Jacob? Jacob is that you?" she asked putting on her slippers. She opened the door and walked slowly to the living room, she was disappointed when she saw Jared and Demi in their matching pants and sweaters. They were dripping with sweat inclining they just came back from a run.

"Jacob? Did i hear you call out that ungrateful man's name?" asked Jared opening the fridge.

"I thought..."

Demi interrupted "Are you alright honey? You look..."

"Like I've been crying the whole night? Yes, I have" said Diana then she sat down on a couch silently. Demi went on to sit beside her, Jared was so busy opening and closing the fridge, it went on for a while and he seemed to interrupt the conversation Diana was trying to have with Demi.

"What the fuck are you looking for?" Diana finnaly asked Jared when it was too much collision of cups and mugs.

"Relax cleopatra! It's just some seasoning..." Jared said with his voice so feminine, and trying to losen up his leggings.

"Hey, talk to me. What happened?" Demi was overly concerned with Diana's situation.

Diana couldn't talk and she bursted out crying and Demi patted her back. That Saturday morning wasn't like other Saturdays and they all spent the whole day together indoors watching some anime and comforting each other, but yet it was Diana who needed much comfort.

Marcus woke up at 4pm after an antidepressant pills Martin gave him, they usually make him sleepy and calm his racing mind whenever he experiences an episode. He was laying on a sofa in the living room while Martin was right beside him on another sofa concentrating on the nature documentary that was shown on Discovery channel. Martin was an addict of mystery and forests, animals and anything that doesn't bring out urban with it. He was more of a rural person and that's why he was so calm and collected inside Marcus's house because it was surrounded by trees only which excited him.

"Martin..." Marcus tried to speak.

"Sir, you are awake"

"Yes dumbass, I ain't dead yet. It's gonna take more than three pills to kill me. I am strong Martin"

Martin chuckled softly "Yes you are sir"

"We are going out. Tell the drivers to prepare themselves for a nice cool ride..." said Martin trying to sit on the couch, but he was too weak.

"Do you need help sir?"

"No, no, Martin... I got this" Marcus tried again and this time he managed to sit on the couch and peeped to what exactly Martin was looking at.

It was just lions, rabbits, and some monkeys being fed using milk bottles. It was all weird to Marcus but then he knew Martin was a weird man who liked to watch weird things hence he left Martin there and walked to his room without saying anything. The second he was inside his room, Marcus stripped off his boxers and walked inside the shower. Hot water which wasn't that hot, but it wasn't cold either came flowing down and cooled his body, yet it was still Diana who he could all think about.

After taking a shower Marcus went back to his room and took out a casual look as he wasn't feeling like himself, the effects of the antidepressants still lingered inside his body. He wore full black, a black tshirt which was tight and showed his biceps, a black jeans, and five thousand dollars Dior black and white sneakers. Then he applied his usual fragrance and head out, Martin stood firm and ready, he opened the car door for Marcus to get inside. "Thank you Martin"

"My pleasure sir" Martin closed the door then walked to the driver's seat and fasten his seat belts ready to take Marcus whatever he felt like going for that particular evening.

But Marcus was occupied with his phone, texting Diana. He wrote "Hey stranger..." and then he was struggling with himself whether to add up another text, or let it be the only text.

"Sir? Where to?"

"What Martin?"

"I asked, where are we going?"

"Madison Square Garden" said Marcus with a smile looking at Martin who was awestruck.

"Sir, I'm not sure if the garden is the best place to be at this particular evening. Its crowded, and..."

"Martin! Take me to the garden, damn it" said Marcus raising his voice at him.

"Why sir?"

"Cause she's there... here, she just texted me saying she's at MSG. What does MSG supposed to mean?"

"It could mean anything sir"

"Oh! Like what?"

Martin was silent for a while trying to find other meaning of the abbreviation MSG but none made sence hence then Madison Square Garden it was. He informed the other guards about it and asked them to tighten up the security the moment they arrived at the most famous arena in the whole world.

Today the wrestling superstars were inside the garden for their annual event titled "Wrestlemania" and Diana had been a fan of wrestling ever since the time Hulk Hogan, Edge and Batista were still active on the roaster. She hasn't stopped believing in the superstars and the magic they can create when inside the ring, that's what pushed Jared and Demi too even though they weren't fans, but they were there for Diana.

Jared noticed Diana sneaking to reply a test from time to time as they were waiting for their turn to get inside the garden. The show starts at 7pm and they were two hours early - however Diana was waiting for Marcus to show up so they can go inside together.

"Who are you texting bitch?" Jared finally asked and he grabbed Diana's phone.

"Give me back my phone..."

Jared gasped "Holly me... you are texting Marcus Orlando?" he asked.

Demi nearly threw up her soda "What?" she asked too, her eyes widening with amazement. "The Mr Orlando of the streaming giant network?"

"Guys, it's not that big deal of a deal. Plus he was an investor in my new company. We are business partners" said Diana trying to explain herself.

"Well, if you ask me. That hot Zaddy wants to invest inside your zippers girl"

"That is never happening, I'm still married"

Demi scoffed "And where is your husband, miss I'm still married? Jacob is probably fucking a lonely upcountry girl who hasn't yet got her life together and he likes it cause they are easy to impress and they have nothing to offer. He's intimated by your power, like a little bitch running for help. I say you fuck this billionaire and get yourself together, plus he's single..." finished Demi and she went on sipping her soda from a straw.

"On the bright side, I heard he can be a little crazy... just watch out for these rich guys, they are always suffering from something" said Jared and he seemes to know something about Marcus.

How could Marcus have missed it? He spent days analyzing Jared and Demi just to know them and how to react in their presence. But yet he didn't lnow that Jared knew some of his secrets through girls he'd slept with during the past and showed them his secrets. Jared went on and on spilling Marcus's secrets to Diana, and he went even far when he said Marcus usually kills some of the girls who don't want to take part in his sexual games, and that he was an addict.
