Few minutes later, they both fell tiredly apart, breathing heavily. Mary felt very tired and could barely leave her eyes open, they slowly started to close and then the next minute she drifted to sleep. She woke up hours later to find herself lying on a very big bed, much more bigger than the one she had in her room and wrapped up comfortably in bed covers. She quickly sat up and looked around the room, it did not even look anything like her room. It was even more spacious and more exquisite than hers. She stood up from the bed, dragging the bed covers that had been used to cover her body along with her since she was still naked underneath. Adonis was nowhere to be found inside the room, she guessed he might have gone out to work. She felt a light throbbing in between her legs that served as a reminder to what she had done with him the previous night. Apart from that she had hickeys all over her body, causing her skin to turn red on several places. She did not know when a smile
Mary counted one step after another as she walked slowly towards Emma till she went to sit close to her on the couch. She was snacking on roasted groundnuts which she invited Mary to join her in, although Mary wanted to ask where she got it from, but then she brushed the thoughts aside and instead joined her in chewing the groundnut. Although she was sitting there, Mary could not bring herself to concentrate on the show. Once in a while Emma would tap her to call her attention to a funny scene, she would just laugh even though she had no reason to. After the show had ended, Emma requested for chicken soup for lunch. Which Mary rushed to go make for her. While Mary was in the kitch trying to make the chicken soup, she could not stop thinking about how Adonis is a killer, of not just anybody but his own parents. She started to make up different scenarios in her head on how he had killed his parents, did he shoot them? Did he use a knife? Which kind of monster would kill his own pa
Mary looked with eyes wide open as the woman walked to Adonis with her arms spread open, and Adonis himself was so willing to go into her arms to the point that she even kissed him. Mary's heart boiled in anger as her fists curled up. "How are you" the woman said in a smile as she disengaged from the hug that looked like it lasted for ages. "Well..." He said spreading his arms with an even wider smile on his face that looked almost like a blush. "Are you ready" she asked looking at him lustfully making Mary to feel like giving her a punch on that face of hers. "I just have to grab my jacket" he said and turned around, Mary tried to hide but it seemed like it was too late as Adonis looked at her direction. But she had no idea if he had seen her or not. He went upstairs and came back later holding his jacket in his hand. "We shall" he said with a huge smile on her face. And just like that the grabbed his hand and they both walked away together. Mary stood there boiling in r
"Look" Mary said, finally allowing her anger to lead her. "I do not know who you are and I do not know why you are pestering me in such manner, but I would appreciate if you would just leave me the hell alone" she said it without mincing words and was about to walk out on him, but she was surprised when the guy suddenly grabbbed her arm. "Just calm down girl I just wanna be friends, I mean no harm I swear". Mary gave him a murderers glare, although his voice was not as firm as his hand. But Mary was scared as hell. "Let go of me you bastard" she said in a shaky voice. She was finally able to free herself from his hold. "Is there a problem here?" Mary heard someone asked from behind. She turned around and saw a handsome guy standing there, her heart dropped and she immediately felt embarrassed looking scared and bedraggled in front of him. His brown hair was neatly styled and swept forward in an elegant manner, his jawline looked defined and masculine, he wore a tight fit
Mary made an angry face as she walked with Adonis to the car. He angrily opened the car door and made her get in. Adonis got into the car beside her and closed the door with a loud bang, even Mary was startled by the sound he used to close the car. He zoomed off, not saying a single word to her. He just wore an annoyed look on his face. Mary felt irritated at his audacity, what right did he have to get mad at her? It was not like she was not out having fun himself. Although within her she was thankful to the heavens for sending him over to save her from the hands of those men. And at the same time she felt embarrassed that he saw her in that situation. She angrily looked away, looking everywhere else except at him, she leaned on the window and looked through it. She looked at all the houses that were lit up by several colourful lights that glittered in the darkness. She wondered how Adonis had shown up at the club to save her, she wondered where his lover was. She leaned a
"I would come with you" he said as he finally faced the cops.Mary stared with her mouth agape as the cop put the handcuffs on him. Adonis looked back at her with a blank expression on his face as the cops led him away. Mary stood there in unbelieve as Adonis was led away by the cops, it almost looked like a dream to her. She stood at the same spot for over thirty minutes before she moved away from there, her heart completely blank and heavy. Soon enough she felt tears gushing out from her eyes. They had been all cozy last night and had made out in his study, and now he was being arrested. What was going to happen to him now? Would he be sent to prison? Mary slowly went back to the kitchen, and sprawled out on the kitchen floor crying. She was surprised to see herself crying for him, was she not supposed to be happy? After all he had tried to hurt her before and she was now safe from him. At least he was going to pay for murdering his parents gruesomely, this is good. But
She woke up the next morning feeling much more better than she had felt the previous day, she no longer felt the guilt she had felt the previous day. Looking at herself in the mirror, assured herself that she would be fine and okay. She first went to Emma's room to check on her, she was still lying face up, unconscious. But she was breathing. She mumbled a goodbye to her, even though she knew she would probably not hear it. She wondered how Emma would react if she found out about what she had done. She tried not to think much about it as she hailed a cab to ride to work. When Mary arrived at work, she had a feeling that something odd was happening but she could not place a finger on it She further confirmed it when she entered the building, patty was not on her seat. She walked further into the building and was even more apprehensive when she did not meet anyone at the lobby, and apart from not seeing anyone, the lights immediately went off the moment she stepped in. She stoo
"Well that's great, but don't you think granting those interviews would be even better?" Chris asked again. "I don't think so" she shook her head. "Meanwhile I have to get back to work now" Chris said standing up from the table. "I don't want to get fired". They all laughed as he walked out of their cubicle. As soon as Chris left, Mary noticed Taylor looking at her from the corner of her eyes, she noticed the suspicious look in her eyes and knew it was time for questions. She pretended to not notice her and went ahead to type in her computer, even though she was not typing anything in particular. When Taylor did not stop looking at her after sometime, she slowly turned to Taylor and made a face at her. "What?" She asked with a mean voice. "What?" Taylor asked back. "Why are you looking at me like that?" "I was just admiring your hair" Taylor said with a smirk on her face. "Really" Mary asked sarcastically. "Well I'm just wondering why you are so moody, you should
