"Huh" she raised her head to look at him in shock.

"Read the story on the first page"

Mary faked rapt attention as she read the story in the newspaper. Mary's hand shook as she read the story on the paper.

Adonis looked at her intensely.

"You see mary, one particular newspaper managed to get that story linking me to a mystery mother case, and the man called me to ask for bribe to prevent the story from getting leaked" Mary listened attentively to him as she spoke, beads of sweats breaking out on her forehead.

" I paid huge amount of money as bribe to prevent that story from getting published, but as you can see. Even my money could not save me from getting linked to a murder case".

Mary's heart was beating even faster now.

"What do you think I should do Mary?"

She looked up to meet his blue gaze, wondering what he wanted her to say, or why he would even ask her that in the first place.

"You ask too many questions mary, we both came here to have fun, just pretend you are a stripper and just do your thing, and get rid of that awkward feeling. We don't want to look odd do we?" They had a few, maybe a little too much. Mary gradually started to loosen up after drinking and she watched other strippers and started to do a strip dance, although she was a bit clumsy. After a few minutes, some group of men walked into the club, Mary saw a familiar figure among them. "Adonis!" She exclaimed. "Mia, Adonis is here" she whispered to Mia and started acting restless.

    "Here you go Ms. Emma" Mary dropped the orange juice she had made for Emma on the table. "I made this myself, specially for you" she said with a big smile on her face. Mary and Emma had started to get along pretty well lately. Emma had apologized for her outburst the other day and they were on good terms again. A few days had passed an Mary was yet to get hold of any reasonable information concerning Adonis and the supposed murder case. Adonis was really good in hiding and covering his tracks. Mary stood at the window in her room, watching the sunset. She had always loved to watch s the sun sets into the horizon, she loved the bright orange colours that spread out on the sky while the round beauty made it's way to the lower part of the sky. The sunset reminded her of her dad, and her home at Ohio. She would always watch the sunset with her dad every evening in the balcony.

    He kept inching even higher and higher, making breathless with every passing second. She automatically closed her eyes and parted her lips in anticipation of what was to come.

    There he was, sprawled out on the couch, lying the arms of two naked women. There were empty bottles of alcohol on the ground. Mary stood there, staring at them with wide eyes, she could not believe her eyes, she could already feel the tears stinging at her eyes. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of her footsteps. He was obviously drunk. “You are back” he asked with a silly smile on his face. He stands up from the couch and walked towards her, staggering at intervals. “I thought you would not come back again, I’ve been waiting for you”. He tried to touch her but she pushed his hand away and ran to her room. Even though she did not know why, even though she had no right to claim ownership on him, Mary still found herself weeping uncontrollably because of what she had seen in the sitting room. She felt her heart tear into a thousand pieces, like a spear had been through it, piercing and tearing at it with every distance it goes into her weary heart. Her tears f

    “You mean you would like to visit your friend and family over the weekend? It’s fine, you can have as many off days as you want” “No, that’s no what I meant” Mary swallowed hard. “Sir” she added as an after thought, laying more emphasis on the word ‘sir’ Adonis raised his eyebrows. His adam’s apple bobbed up and down at hearing her refer to him as sir. But he stayed silent about it. He urged her to go ahead and speak by nodding his head towards her. “What I mean is, I want to quit”. Adonis looked at her in disbelief for some time, he thought she was probably playing a prank on him. “What do you mean? Mary”. “I mean I want to quit, I don’t want to work here anymore”. “Why? Has Emma been hard on you again? Did she do something? Do you want my to talk to here? Should I…..” Mary cut him off before he could finish. “No, there would be no need for that”. “No. Tell me Mary, why do you want to quit?” “It is simple Sir, I do not want to work here anymore”.

    Mary stared wide eyed at the broken plates and glasses on the ground. Then she slowly, painfully, with her heart beating fast like a drum, she looked up to face the old woman standing in front of her. “Is this what you do?” Emma asked with fire burning in her eyes “Are you this careless and clumsy?” Mary’s lips trembled as she tried to open her mouth to say a word. “I…… I ……. I’m sorry Ms. Emma” “I am not interested in hearing your apologies, this is all you low class people are good for, you can never be up to any good” Could feel the tears starting to sting at the corner of her eyes. “Do you know how close you were to hurting me? You this clumsy maid”. “I am sorry mam, it was not my intention to hurt you at all I promise” “Be quiet you this incompetent and disoriented low class human. I would have asked you to replace all of these that you have destroyed, but I am pretty sure you would not even be able to afford it” Mary wiped her eyes with th

    They walked past her like she did not exist, with the woman swaying her hips from one side to the other like one who is participating in a beauty pageant. Mary immediately looked away, pretending not to have seen them. "It's not like I care anyways" she said with her arms folded. Mary's phone started vibrating again, it was Emma.Mary deliberated within herself if to do to her, or just continue to pretend like her phone was in the bathroom. While Mary tried to sneak up to her room, she suddenly heard a soft but authoritative voice. "Hey you!" She stopped and looked around, it was the woman Adonis had come home with. "You are probably a maid here, would you kindly get me a glass of wine?". Mary stood transfixed, watching her with agape mouth. She had no idea how to respond to that remark by the silly woman. Mary was so carried away in her thoughts that she did not know when the woman had come close to her. She only became aware of her environment when the woman sn

    Mary was taken aback by what she saw on the sky, she looked back at the object in her hand again, it was a ring, and it looked expensive. Mary felt like she was dreaming, this could be one of those her countless fantasies that she had always thought would never come to pass. She quickly looked back at Adonis and saw him walking towards her with a smile on his face. He got close to her and took the ring from her hand. "Will you marry me" he voiced out. Mary was perplexed beyond description, she could not believe what her ears were hearing. She slowly pinched herself to be sure she was not dreaming. Adonis laughed as he saw her pinch herself. "I guess I should help you do that" Adonis said and pinched her arm softly. "Ouch!" Mary exclaimed laughing. "Now tell me" Adonis said. "Will you marry me". "Yes!" Mary nodded excitedly, she could not control her excitement, Adonis himself could not control the smile that spread out on his face as he slid the ring into her finger.

    "So how did you feel on that day after witnessing two murders? I know it must have been a traumatic event for you". Mary said. "It indeed was" Adonis answered, "especially the thoughts of loosing my mother on that day. But Emma was there for me to help me over come it, she never left my side". "That is the reason you love her so much, she deserves all the love you show to her". "Exactly....." Adonis said. "After she took me and fled that city, we were always going from one thatched house to the other, living from hand to mouth. Sometimes I would watch my grandmother beg in the streets in order to give make sure I had something to eat". Mary took his hand and squeezed it, she never would have believed that Adonis had gone through such hardship as a child. "Emma sacrificed a lot for me, she later started doing menial jobs so she was able to afford to pay for a small place in the outskirts of the city". "I guess that was where you met the neighbor who always caught you with

    "So why did you still chose to keep me after you found out?" "Well..." He took another sip from his glass of wine while staring at her. "I kind of noticed you were making progress with my grandmother, so I choose to let you stay. Hoping you would see the good in me and forfeit your mission" Mary lowered her eyes, she felt even more ashamed of herself once again. "Do you want to know another reason I choose to let you stay at all cost?" Mary shook her head. "Well just like I told you the first day we had met, you are so lovely. You were lovely the first day I saw you, and you still are now" a smile broke out on his face. "It would only take a person with a stone heart not to fall in love with you". On hearing that, Mary immediately dropped the glass of wine she was about taking a sip from and looked up at him sharply. Did he mean that he was in love with her? "I guess you yourself did not have a heart at all, like you told me the first time we met* Mary said. "What do

    Adonis stared at Mary opened mouthed and with wide eyes as she walked towards him, he knew he had asked her to wear something sexy, but this was so hot that it almost too his breath away. With every step she took towards him, his heart beat increased. Causing him to want to take her in his arms and kiss her all night long. A smile spread out on his lips as she walked towards him. "You look beautiful" he said to her as she approached him. He took her hand, gave it a gentle squeeze before he brought it to his lips and kissed it. Mary felt electrifying feelings all over her body as Adonis soft lips made contact with her hand. She bit her lips to prevent a moan from escaping from her mouth. "Shall we?" He asked as he took her hand. She nodded with a smile. Adonis opened the car door for her and gestured for her to get in, Mary got into the car. Adonis got in quickly besides her and helped her fix her seatbelts, even though he knew that she could do it herself, he still felt

    Emma cleared her throat and continued her story. "Seeing what had happened and that someone had found out, I felt that we were no longer safe there, if the police found us out they could take me to jail, and then my Adonis would be left all alone on his own with mo body to take care of him. I did not want that for my grandson, so I took him with me and we fled the town. Once again I had to leave, but this time around with my grandson and not my daughter. We were not able to take anything wutg us, the only thing I was able to take out of that house was a picture of my Lauren, the same picture you have seen hanging there. Because the place had been a ghetto, there was no further investigation on the deaths, the police ruled it out as a clash between rival gangs. Mary still wanted to know why Adonis had tried to harm his grandmother. She asked the question aloud, directing it to Adonis. But Adonis stayed quiet, still staring at her. Emma answered the question instead. "Adonis nev

    Mary looked up at Adonis again only to see him still looking at her. She noticed he had been quiet all along, she felt ashamed to look into his eyes now, she really felt ashamed of what she had done. Emma continued her explanation. "I finally thought that when I presented Adonis to Oscar, I thought that at least he would be happy that he finally had a child with Lauren and stop treating her bad. At first, he became lenient with us and started acting a bit maturely towards us. He would but gifts for Lauren and Adonis. But that did not last long, after quitewa while he resumed his maltreatment on us again. I watched Adonis grow up in the midst of all of these chaos, but I could not do anything about it, I had no power to change anything. I could not even take him away from there because we had no other place to go to. I did not want to return to the streets with my child and grandchild, that would not be good for them. So we stayed. Oscar never showed love to Adonis as a child" M

    Mary and Emma were now sitting on the couch in the sitting room, while Adonis stood there with his hand in his pocket. Mary wondered what Emma meant by saying her grandson was not a murderer. But Adonis had openly admitted in the court that he had killed his parents. Adonis stood there and watched every reaction that appeared on Mary's face as they spoke. "Then why is everyone saying he killed his parents? Why was he arrested?" Mary was even more confused as ever. "You should see him as a hero instead of a murderer" Emma said. Mary looked up at Adonis only to meet his eyes. Mary kept rubbing Emma's arm as she spoke. "Tell me about Adonis parents then" Mary said. "Is the lovely woman in that picture hanging inside that room Adonis's mom?" Mary asked. Emma nodded. "My Lauren, my poor child. She suffered so much until death". Emma said with a sad look on face. "Is she your daughter?" Mary asked, she could not help but ask too many questions. "Yes" Emma said nodding. "S

    Mary had her heart hung in her mouth, she swallowed hard having no idea how to handle the situation at hand. She was about challenging him and finally get to tell him to his face that he was a pathetic and and psychotic killer that would not mind harming his own grandmother just to cover up his mess. She was about about open up her mouth to cuss him when he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at them. Mary quickly pushed Emma behind her, but it seemed like she pushed too hard because the old woman ended up falling to the ground. Mary's mouth snapped shut as she looked at Adonis, all the curses she had originally planned to rain on him hung in her throat. "What are you trying to do?" He asked, his voice sounding more mean than it had sounded earlier. His eyes had gone blood shut, Mary feared that he had gone mad and would kill the both of them without thinking twice. Mary could not help but think if this was the same way Adonis had killed his parents, if this was th
