Deep Secret

Unmasked

"Neece..baby look at me.. what do you need to tell me and how you got that bruise on your neck?!"

Shanice takes a deep breath holding her head up and held Marcus's hand tighter afraid what she is gonna tell him will possibly lose him forever.

"Marc..I'm a viper"
"What?"
"I'm part of the viper cartel.. for two years now..Trey wasn't the husband I knew..he requested Wade to take his place as his right hand man if something happened to him..that's who left these bruises on my neck.. he was here"
"You fucking kidding me right now?!"

Marcus lets go of Shanice's hand in anger.
"If you're part of the cartel, why have I never seen a picture of you that me and Rome has to look out for?"
"I don't know.. baby I'm so sorry I can explain everything.. please don't leave me"

Marcus couldn't hear what Shanice was saying.. he was in denial at that moment.
"Marc please.. I have been through two years of hell..I wasn't suppose to tell you anything about this.. Wade will put a bullet in my head if I told you"

"So this whole time you knew Wade and he showed up at your party like you didn't know him knowing he was after me and Rome and he killed Stacy..Neece how could you let this happen?!"

Shanice slammed her hands on the table and got up staring face to face with Marcus.
"I didn't ask for this Marc..Trey threw me to the wolves and I can't get out of it unless I'm dead..baby you're my only hope to kill Wade so I can be free from him"
"Why should I help you.. you lied to me Neece"
"Marc!!"
"Marc nothing Neece.. you knew this whole time and now you want me to help you now"

"You don't know what I've been through with this man..he is a psycho..him and Trey were best friends and I found out Trey was part of the cartel through a flash drive I found and then the same night Wade kidnapped me and he raped me"
"I cant hear no more of this Neece"

"You have to Marc! Wade raped me every chance he could and sometimes beat me..I almost lost my life..I have no choice or be buried next to Trey"

"I also have another confession..I knew you this whole time.. when I seen you and Rome apply for the job six months ago, I told Stacy to bring them in and hire you..Wade wanted me to get close to one of you so he can kill you and take you off his "hitman" list he called it.. and I saw you and Rome's pictures when they were following you around"
Marcus walks around back and forth and looks at Shanice.

"So our relationship..this isn't real?.. you were setting me up.. is that what you're telling me Neece?!"

"No that's not true.. I want you to save me from him.. you are my only hope.. I fell in love with you Marc..believe me..I love you so much.. I've never thought I would love again until I met you.. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.. please.."

Marcus walked closer to Shanice as he looks deep in her brown eyes and held her face.

"Neece.. I believe you.. I'm just fucking mad that Wade has done this to you.. now I really wanna kill him now for hurting you"
"Then do it baby.. lemme set it up I got your back"
"You got me?"
"I gotchu...just pretend I never told you nothing about this..let's take his ass down together"
"Aight"

Marcus holds on to Shanice's hips as he kisses and holding her as she cries as her face buried in his chest.
"I thought you were gonna leave me or worse.. kill me"
