7:42 PM
Marcus woke up with a pain in his neck and lower back. It took him few seconds to realize that he is on the sofa, in his study. No wonder his neck and back are hurting, he slept off in an awkward position.
He does not remember coming on the sofa to sleep, but lately his mind is a mess.
Last few weeks are a huge disappointment. Failure after a failure. He knew that being on the top is strenuous and lonely, but he didn't know that he will be this worn out before he reached there. It's like he is trying to climb a slippery vertical wall while the ground below him is crumbling.
Exhausted is a mild word for how he feels.
From betrayal of Jasmine and his son, to his useless daughter, his partners not returning his calls, his men mysteriously disappearing, all his attempts to strike Jeff's reputation failed… nothing is going right. How is that possible?
