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
Adonis swallowed hard, his eyes still intensely focused on Mary that she was forced to look away. "Yes" he finally said looking into her eyes like he just confirmed to her that he was indeed the dangerous murderer that she had feared him to be. Like he was telling her that there was no point having any hope that he was good after all. He had indeed done all of the things that she had accused him of doing included trying to kill Emma. Mary could not help but wonder if he was aware that she had published the story about his deeds to the whole world to see. He further went to explain that it had been a mistake and he did not plan to kill his parents, he was just a boy and did not know anything. The judge further went to ask why he did not report himself to the police immediately after the act. Adonis explained that he was just a scared little boy, and he was scared of being locked up by the police so he ran away instead. While he explained, his eyes still remained on Mary, like
After sitting there for sometime and taking several more glasses of drink, Mary finally decided to go home before she starts getting tipsy. Mary hailed a cab and rode home, she almost jumped out of her skin when she saw Adonis car in the driveway. It took sometime before she realized that he would not have taken his car with him when in the police custody. She finally let out a sigh of relief and laughed at herself for being like that. She paid the cabbie and hurried inside. She did not bother going to her room first, she went straight to Emma's room to check on her. She was still on coma. Mary sat down by her bedside, she took her hand and started caressing it as she looked at all the devises that were connected to her body and we're repeatedly pumping liquids into her body. Mary was almost moved to tears as she watched her, she wondered how long she was going to remain like that, the doctor had assured her that she was definitely going to wake up, Mary believed the doctor,
"I'm really sorry, I did not mean to scare you" she said rubbing her back. Mary grudgingly lifted her arms and hugged her back. "But you needed to have seen your self" Mia suddenly said, pulling out from the hug and looking into Mary's face. "You needed to have seen what you like as you shook out of fright" Mia said laughing. Mary could not help but to laugh too, she somehow found it funny too. Mary took her hand and they both sat down on the bench. "You know it's been quite a long time I saw you, and I was actually just trying to create a more dramatic entry, you know just like in the movies" she demonstrated with her hands. "And I actually got you where I wanted you" she laughed so hard. "I was actually really scared Mia, you only just added to my initial fear" Mary said laughing too. "Why did you react that way anyways" Mia asked laughing. "I know.... I know, I expected you to be scared, but that was a bit too much. What are you so afraid of?" Mary thought about it,
Mia equally let out a devilish smirk. "And you just reminded me that you actually owe me for two" she said laughing. "Whatever Mia" Mary exclaimed laughing even more. "Your bosses house is quite big" Mia said as she made herself comfortable on one of the couches. Mary had no idea if the relationship with her and Adonis could actually be described as a boss and employee relationship, giving everything they had done together. She mentioned it to Mia as she went to sit besides her on the couch. "How far have you too gone?" Mia asked, chewing a mouthful of the popcorn they had bought on their way home. "We have actually gone very far, but what I do not know is if my far is also Adonis far". Mary had no idea if what she said made any sense to Mia, but she actually had to give it a thorough thought. She then remembered what Adonis had told her in the beginning, that the only thing that could happen between them was sex. Maybe that was all there is to it for him. "How far have
