SPYING ON THE BILLIONAIRE FIFTY FIVE
Clay kept his gaze on Mary’s face while they ate, trying to watch her facial expression. Mary on the other hand tried her best to maintain a straight face and not act suspicious to avoid having to being asked questions she had no answer to “Mom don’t you think Mary’s been acting a bit suspicious lately?” Clay asked while clicking his fork on the plate. Mary dropped her fork and looked up with an angry look. “Clay leave your sister alone and stop pestering her, she looks irritated already” Mrs Wilberforce said noticing Mary’s looks. “I’m just trying to call your attention to your daughter” he smirked. “No Clay” Mary fired back, I think you are the one acting suspicious”. “Whatever”. “Alright you both stop whining, your food would get cold” Mr Wilberforce said. They ate in silence in the next few minutes before Clay started talking about his company. Mary tried to get rid of every thoughts of Adonis and his murder case even for that moment and join in the conversatio

Mary stood there, frozen and staring into space. What an unlucky day for her. She did not know if to turn around, or to just run away. Just cross to the other side and run away. She was still trying to decide what to do when she felt someone tap her from behind. Her breath increased, she could even hear her own heartbeat even though amidst the noises from vehicles on the road. Mary turned around amidst heavy breathing and profuse sweating. What a day to choose to wear makeup. “Hello”.Mary did not know if to be surprised or relieved when she saw the young man who had tapped her. It was the tacky looking guy that had sat beside her in the bus. Mary squeezed her face, Wondering what he wanted and why he had come after her, and even more surprising how did he know her name? She raised her brows she did not remember mentioning it to anyone not even the nice old lady that had sat beside her and admired her bangle. “How do you know my name? And why are you after me?” “I’m sorry

Mary had a familiar feeling of déjà vu as she walked into the cubicle that she used to share with Taylor. “I’ve missed this place for real” she said smiling and looking around. “I know right and I have missed having you around”. Mary sat on her table looking around, remembering how she used to sit there and work. “So tell me” Taylor clapped her hands together to get her attention. “How is the interview going with Mr Adonis Scott?” Mary rolled her eyes, it’s not exactly an interview, it’s more like an investigation”. They both laughed. “So how does it feel like to be an under cover spy to a hot billionaire like Adonis Scott” Chris asked in his usual feminine gesture. “You know Mary, I really envied you dear, I wished I had been the one to get into trouble like you and sent over to live with Adonis Scott, I could imagine what it would feel like leaving in the same house and seeing that hot and sexy guy every single day of your life” he had closed his eyes and placed his

He rolled his eyes at her question. “Not exactly as friends, but they are quite close, like this” he demonstrated by joining his two index fingers together. “Chris would you quit being an jerk and stop exaggerating?” She turned to Mary. “So not listen to him”. Mary was about to heive a sigh of relief when Chris cut in again. “But Mr Coleman had been in close contact with Mr Scott, would you pretend like you have not noticed he is always calling and sending mails?”. “Yes, but not the way you described it like them being close like this” she repeated his earlier gesture by joining her to index fingers together. “It could just be business”. “Wait! Wait! You mean Adonis had been in contact with the company? Does he know I work here?” She asked alarmed. “I’m not sure Mary, and I highly doubt that. Mr. Cold man does not want that remember” Taylor said reassuringly. Mary could not help but remember when he had offered her money to spy on them. Mary tried as much as she could to

Mary was wary of her environment as she sat in the bus on her way home, she did not want a repetition of the event that had happened earlier in the day. She could not help but wonder why and how Adonis was in contact with her Mr Coleman. She tried not to over think it, they were probably already close before now. Mary almost jumped out of her skin when someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. She turned back amidst fast heartbeats to see who it was. It was a young girl of about twelve. She looked at Mary with sharp almost teary eyes. “I’m really sorry for bothering you mam, you just share a striking resemblance with someone I know, I almost thought you were her”“Oh! I see” Mary nodded slowly, a bit relieved, and also feeling a bit sorry for the little girl but had no time to show compassion since her mind was already in shambles. When Mary finally got to her bus stop, she alighted from the bus but was surprised to see the young girl come down too and was walking behind

They kept staring at her with questioning looks making her even more alarmed and suspicious. She wondered if they had found her out. She started racking her brain on how to explain to them the mess she had gotten herself into. “You seemed to be lost in your sleep” Clay said with an amused look on his face. “What?” Mary asked looking around confused. “Do you know now long we have been standing here? We almost thought you had gone into a coma” her mum said. “Or even dead” her brother chipped in. “Alright everybody, let’s go out for prayers” her dad said before taking the lead. All through the prayers, Mary sat staring into space, too carried away in her thoughts to know anything that was going on. Much to her delight the prayer was a short one and ended quickly. Mary carefully went back to her room to start getting her things ready, she would be going back to Adonis Scott later in the day. She noticed the bangle on her hand, she felt like taking it off then changed her
SPYING ON THE BILLIONAIRE SIXTY ONE
Mary felt panic wash over her as she read the content written in bold in on the paper that she almost dropped it. But she tried to control her reaction in order not to scare the young lad in front of her. “What is it aunt?” He asked tapping her knee gently. “Is it something bad?” “Ehhmm…. Not really Aiden” she tried to remain calm. “It’s just something meaningless that you should not be bothered about”. “But it looks like something bad, from your reaction”. “Let’s just go inside okay?” Back in her room, Mary paced around holding the paper and reading it over and over again. She was petrified to the marrow. “Stop what you are doing at once or you face the consequences”. That was obviously a threat,and there could be only one person who would have sent her such threat, Adonis. He must have found out that she knew about him and was trying to expose him and now her life could be in danger for real, just like she had seen In her dream. “But Adonis does not know her house” she

Clay thought that must have been a case of mistaken Identity. “Are you sure it was you they had asked him to give the note and not me?”. Mary nodded, getting a bit confused. She was very certain that the note was meant for her, after all she was the one who was planning to expose Adonis hidden secret. “Do you have any enemies? I mean, did you have a fight with anyone that would want to hurt you?” Mary shook her head, it was not a complete lie anyways, after all she did have any enemies anyways, and she did not have any fight with anybody either. “You know what Mary? You would try to stay back at home for a while, until we figure out what to do” his voice sounded shacky. Mary had a feeling that her brother was hiding something since he was acting so suspicious, but she had no idea what it was. She wondered what it could be that he was hiding from her. He made to go inside then he came back again. “And please, we have to keep this from mum and dad, we do not want to have them

"Ahhhhh!" Mia screamed as she saw the ring on Mary's finger, this time around Mary did not try to stop her from screaming, she allowed her scream out her lungs even though everyone in the restaurant were now watching them. "You mean you are getting married to Adonis Scott? How could so much happen within such a short period?" Mia asked surprised. "Even I have no idea" Mary said with a smile as she looked at the ring in her finger. "I have no idea either". "Would you make me your chief bridesmaid?" Mia asked with a smile. "Of course Mary said" They talked happily about random things, and how beautiful Mary's wedding would be. Mary herself was anticipating the wedding, she could not wait to see how beautiful her wedding would be. They had already started preparations for the wedding, and it was even like a double celebration for Mary because Clay also got a big contract that would change the life of his company forever and make it known."What do you think about this?" Mia

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
