Martin is Alexa and Jerry's father. He got married to their mother Marcella. They were high school sweethearts and later went to the same college where their love grew stronger.

They got married and had Alexa and Jerry.

His Carrier as an engineer blossomed well when he got a new job at the city and he, his lovely wife and the two kids back them moved to the city from the suburb.

Life was amazing and they were one big happy family.

Alexa and Jerry went to a good private school and they were so bright just like their dad and mom and excelled in their studies.

Life was awesome until one day when Martin was promoted as manager of his unit.

Yes they were happy for a while but all of a sudden, Marcella could notice that Martin's love for her slowly reduced. She did not complain for some time but later when it did not stop but grew worse she had to ask him if she offended him but well as usual Martin would always Blame it on his new position as manager and said he had lots of work to do and when he came home she was bugging him with lots of questions and all he would want to do then was to lie down and rest.

Later on in their Lives, Martin's love for his kids reduced as well.

He always shouted at them and complained over little things which did not bother him before.

His reduced love persisted for about three years and one day as Alexa and Jerry got home complaining to themselves how that day would be again with dad and mom always now fighting they saw their mom from afar being thrown out of the house with her things outside on the street.

They ran to hold her and tried to stop their dad but he would not listen to them.

Later on a lady accompanied their dad shouting and screaming at their own mother.

As they begged their father, all they could here from his lips was that their own mom cheated on him and conspired to have in sack at work so he could be at home jobless.

Marcella pleaded that all was a set up by that lady standing with their dad at the top of the stairs outside the apartment by the roadside.

He refuses to listen and call their mom all sorts of names and three them out as well.

After a long time begging he refused to listen and since then they have been out of his life and as life would have it they have been alone and managed to survive being by their mom's side.

Years and years have passed and Martin lives with the lady he was with back then. She was his secretary who took their mom's place and they have two kids as well. A boy and a girl, he has been leaving with them not Caring about what has been happening with his other family.

"Hahaha, you are on. But have you done your assignment that you are stuck on this couch playing video game?" Asked Martin.

"I will do it later. Are you scared already?" Jake tried to change the topic.

"No I am not. OK let us play before I go shower and get ready for dinner." Martin said as be grabbed the other play pad and him and Jake competed with each other as they both made so much noise.
