However, it didn’t take long for their whole scheme to go off the rails.
Marco had $10 million transferred into a fake account to pay the bounty and have Jack killed.
The pair began laughing and temporarily called a truce.
However, both were convinced that the other could be planning to take them out at any time.
For his trouble, “Gabriel” would be given full control over Newman-Abbott (viaSoap Central).
Victor was lured to a location where he acted to key in, shooting Marco.
“Gabriel” then stepped out as a witness and blackmailed Victor into handing over the company.
However, just after Victor left the scene, the real Marco arrived.
She had also survived the explosion and had come to town with Jack.
Marisa’s loyalties were with Jack but Marco convinced her to run away with him (viaSoap Central).
They drove into a lake and Marisa believed Marco had drowned when she couldn’t locate his body.
She attacked Marco, briefly knocking him out, but he managed to flee yet again.
Marco went into hiding with the help of his accomplice Detective Mark Harding (Chris McKenna), perSoaps.
Marco then hired Detective Harding to delete the footage.
Before she was able to share the information with anyone, she was also killed by Mark Harding.
Detective Harding eventually revealed that he was also responsible for Tobias' death (viaSoap Central).
He returned all the money Marco had paid him and then left.
Jack was tempted to murder Marco, but couldn’t go through with it.
However, Jack and Victor arrived and were able to stop her.
None of them could risk having their untoward actions revealed to law enforcement.
