When his hands landed on my body, I shivered and felt nothing but disgust, It took me a great deal not to haul insults at him, I politely asked him to remove his hands on me, he looked surprised maybe he expected me to melt in his arms or of the shout, try to untangle myself, from his grip rather did the unexpected I asked him nicely not to touch me.
He removed his hands “who are you?” He questioned me in a daze, I smiled lightly, “I am me, if you don’t mind sir I have to go, I have lots of paperwork piling up on my desk, I don’t have time for this” I said pointing at him and me “whatever you were trying to achieve, stop it, you'll only get burned” I warned him before leaving.
I felt disgusted and dirty, those hands used to drive me crazy but now all I feel is disgust, I headed back to my cubicle, I turned on my computer trying to focus on the task at hand, but my mind kept on drifting back to D

Devin“If I can’t have her, trust me not only will I destroy your family I’ll make sure you crave for death and death shall never come, your entire family will regret ever having you as their daughter” I roared on the phone, how dare she calls me and demand me to stop sabotaging her family's business, she connived with my mother to hurt my woman.I hung up the phone and called my PI to reveal more secrets of the Milton family, Glenda must reimburse for all her sins including the woman who gave birth to me.“ make sure their stock declines, and shares are bought cheap, leave no stone unturned, hit them everywhere, don’t give them time to breath “ I barked orders through the phone.I laughed at how foolish I was, I should have known my mother never liked Mercy, her skin color and her social status, I did not protect her, I instead I sent her to the wolves den and expected her to survive them, worse I didn&rsqu

Tom I rushed to the grocery store to get my wife her food, just when I was ascending the stairs to our apartment, I heard faint voices I didn’t take to heart, I thought Mercy or one of our neighbors are watching TV with a high volume until I got closer to my apartment, the closer I got the louder and clearer I heard the voices, Mercy was arguing with 2 strange women, that caught me off guard could it be that she set a trap for me to leave so that she can attend them? But the Mercy I know is not deceitful. I stood by the door and heard their heated conversation, my heart lost a beat, those people in there, are the same people I have been trying to protect her from, they have found her, luckily they do not have any malicious intent yet, according to the information I got and now with what I heard confirmed it, finally he has grown some balls and finally man up, too bad he came back late. Although I keep on assuring myself, that she will not

Mercy"Yes" I admitted, feeling guilty and ashamed,“what?” his overbearing voice startled me, I have never heard him use that that kind of tone before. I squeezed a forced smile and my eyes were darting everywhere but his eyes nervously.“ It makes sense now, I am just a fool, I am desperate for your love, and I missed all the signs, you showering me with kisses and all of the affection earlier its because you were thinking of him right?, you used me. While you were with me you imagined me as him didn’t you” his vision darkened, all his vitals were blowing steam, his anger surge forward, the way he held his head looks like he wanted nothing but to bash his head on the wall, " how desperate can I be?" He whispered in despair“ yes I was thinking about him and I used you because you are my husband who else was I suppose to use?” I snapped at him and I felt disgut,

Mercy“Hey you” I said walking towards Monica in our favorite coffee shop, it's a small unpopular cozy shop, it's where we meet for catching up, and offloading, and the people here are friendly most of the are aged, it’s been three days since Devin's mother and Glenda visited my apartment, and since then I haven’t heard anything from them, including Devin I hardly see him at work, that improved my mood a lot, at least they know their place.“Hi, you scarce these days” Monica replied while she stood and hugged me, “ gosh I missed you “ I murmured in her arms ,she chuckled breaking the hug, “ I didn’t know I weigh that much in your heart” she said tilting her head to her left hand side and her blond hair unhurried follows her movement moving to the left-hand side, like the movies slow-motion.I let my eyes wonder to her body, she was wearing a yellow maxi dress with white flowers, and light br

MercyI opened my eyes, to find myself in a foreign place, I surveyed the place thoroughly thinking that maybe I am hallucinating, I was in a fantasy world, I have never seen a heart shaped bed before, dusty pink walls and lots of chandeliers on the ceiling. I blinked thinking that maybe I am dreaming, why am I in this place, where’s Tom, could it be that someone kidnapped me? If that’s the case why are they being nice to me, to provide such a beautiful room.I quickly jumped off the bed, and the blankets fell on the carpet, I was wearing fluffy pink pajamas, who could have changed my clothes, I began to be anxious, the door was pulled open, there he was Tom wearing a white transparent shirt and khaki pants, he stood by the door folding his arms on his chest looking at me with worry mixed with a slight smile on his eyes, his lips curved a little.“ Sleeping beauty is fi

Mercy “ Devin” I cried out his name when I woke up, I remember him taking a bullet for me, everyone was in my ward except for him is he dead? I saw disappointment, hurt, and anger flash through Tom's eyes. “here” he stretched out his hand with a brown envelope I took it with shaking hands, he looked at me one last time before he vacated the room, everyone’s eyes were in me disapprovingly. I opened the letter /dear Mercy I’m sorry I hurt you, if I didn’t become part of your life you wouldn’t go through what you went through, I realized that I didn’t love you enough when your husband jumped in to take a bullet for you when he believed you when I didn’t, he loves you with every fiber of his bones, I am leaving for good this time hopefully I will find me another you.

Tom“ I told you to tell her truth earlier, are you happy now? I lost my friend" Grace said accusingly, she has been crying ever since Mercy kicked us out of her room, I regret not telling her the truth, I regret even more for being a coward back then, thinking of the trauma, pain and cruelty she suffered alone in prison makes my skin crawl, how could a human being be this cruel a woman to another woman, and that good for nothing idiot who couldn’t even protect his own flesh and blood.I left the hospital in a fit of anger, I was angry towards myself, towards Devin and his mom and that slut, in order not to think too much I drowned myself in work, after work I’d pass by the hospital, Mercy still refused to see me, I was ashamed for lying to her, I figured I should give her space but a divorce that will never happen.Grace called “ Tom Mercy disappeared” she said anxiously “what” my world fel

MercyThe past that I have buried deep within me has to be dug out and shared with my loved ones, I will as soon as my mom and brother get here to celebrate our marriage with us, I hope they won't blame me for hiding it. I was waiting for Monica to come by the office for lunch.“ have you heard?” She asked trudging to my office and closing the door behind her using her curves since her hands were holding food paper bags, I whipped my head from the papers I was dealing with to give her my attention.“head what?” I was fascinated by her appetite for gossip “ Devin exposed his mother and Glenda's deeds” instantly I was alarmed “ relax he did not disclose your name, I have to give it to him he protected you very well this time, I didn’t know he had it on him, unfortunately, that old hag committed suicide, what an easy way out ” she snorted“she did what?” that woman value

DevinAfter the shock revelation from Mercy, I almost lost my mind, I need to hear it from the culprit's mouth, I know my mom is not the best woman on earth but l never knew she was that heartless to kill her grandchild my flesh and blood, I drove like a mad man to the cheap flat she has settled too, I did not bother knocking I kicked the door open, I can’t dirty my hands.I trudged in with a heavy heart I found her eating something smelling like chicken yet the was no chicken on her plate, serves her well, “ you killed my child” I growled at her, she dropped the spoon she was holding on the floor, fear was visible in her eyes, I laughed like a mad man “ you are not going to deny it, I thought you will deny and lie to me like you always do, how could you your flesh and blood?” my hands were itching to grab her and separate her head from her shoulders.“I didn’t know he was your child I swear I just wanted to punish

MercyI was woken up by the rays of the sun, peeking through the white curtains, I smiled images of last night playing in my head, after that hot session of love making last night. Tom made us something to eat we were both tired yet full of life and anticipation of what we will do next, which was making love in our bed all night long, till I couldn’t open my legs, they were shaking.“You awake, come downstairs Antony and Maria are waiting for you downstairs, said Tom walking by my side and peck my forehead, his eyes were smiling “ you look like you woke up early" I commented snuggling in his arms, “ I woke up 3 hours ago, lazy cat" I gasped and he laughed.I checked the time and realized that it was 9a.m we slept in late last night, let me rephrase that this morning and yet he is up and energetic while I feel like I’ve been hit by a train, I dragged my tired body out of the bed and took a quick
