Im Only Human

Marcus' Plan

Mac's POV

"I only wanted one thing. To start over. This whole divorce thing between your mother and I really took a toll on me." Marcus says. "You refused to agree to mine and Sasha's marriage so Sasha refused to marry me. She wanted your consent. So I came up with a plan. My...original plan was supposed to be to kill your mom and then kill you. Making them both look like accidents. I went over to your mothers and pushed her down in the shower. It didn't kill her so that part was unsuccessful. I was also the vehicle that rammed into the tail end of your car. That also didn't kill you.

"So I developed a more complex plan. I needed others to help. Beth and Jackson seemed like perfect candidates. Beth wasn't happy with your decisions and she told me about Jackson cheating on you. I had dirt on him so he worked for me. I even had that little friend of yours named Krista in on it. Everything was perfect.

"I made Jackson send you those messages and I knew you would do something stupid like leave or attempt to kill yourself and I was right. I made Jackson and Krista spread those rumors. I knew that those would really hit you hard. Having the whole school calling you a slut. A whore. It hurts doesn't it?

"I then made Jackson kidnap you. I was just going to kill you then but your little boyfriend got in the way. So I brought him here and cut a deal. I thought I should give you two love birds one more night. But again he just got in the way. I'm tempted to kill him too. I just might make him watch me kill you."

He walks to me and put the gun to my head. The cold steel burning into my skin. "He can watch me take away the life from those beautiful green eyes. He can watch you suffer as I kill. And darlin' I plan to make it as painful and as slow as possible. Jason also has some ideas."

Jason licks his lips and looks me up and down. My shudders in disgust.

"You would kill your own daughter?" Niall asks softly. I hadn't even noticed he came back in.

"She was just like her mother. They thought they could control my life and keep me from being happy but I'm not going to let them. I'll put them six foot in the ground before that ever happens."

"You're sick." Niall says.

Marcus pulls the gun away from my head and laughs. "If that's what you want to call me."

I hear the roar of the audience in the ballroom.

"Someone's about to preform." Marcus smiles. "Show time."
