A troubled family background
Marcus wished he could blame all this on his father, who never married his mother and decided not to claim him as his son. But that was not possible when somebody else was to blame.
It would have been easier if all of the faults fell on his father's lap. Instead, he only had his mother to condemn for his misery because she was the one who had put him in this position.
"You see, my mother had a relationship with my father. A long time before Haley's father married her mom, back in the days." He narrated what he could remember of the story.
But apparently, his mother never loved his biological father and only used him for his money and power. She used her charm and cunning abilities to fool his father, making him fall for her while she was also involved in another relationship.
