Adonis waved at Mary when he sighted her coming out from where she stood and taking slow but steady steps towards him.

Mary walked towards him slowly, because she feared what he might do to her when he got hold of her, the memories from the previous night flooded her head, almost making her weak in the knee especially as she stared into those pair of beautiful blue eyes.

He was just too beautiful.

“You really are back?” Mary asked with a bright smile as she walked up to him.

“I told you I was on my way back” he said taking her hand and standing up to meet her.

“You look even more beautiful today Mary, what is the secret? Tell me” he said almost like a command. “Because I also want to look as beautiful as you”. Mary Wondered if he was trying to make mockery of her. How would a man she so much admired that even only his touches were enough to set her heart aflutter ask to be as beautiful as her.

“Joke of the day” she said sarcastically.

“You think”.

Mary gasped when Adonis

    Before the words could leave her mouth, Adonis grabbed her aggressively and fiercely. His lips crashed harshly against hers, kidding her in the most hurried and harshest way she could ever think of. His hands roamed her body aggressively, hurried, and fiercely that she thought he was going to tear at her skin. He grabbed her thighs, snatching and pulling aggressively at any skin he could get hold of and occasionally biting her neck at the same time.His assault was painful, painful but pleasurable. Mary felt confused, she did not know which of the feelings to concentrate on. And even more worrisome, she wondered why he pounced on her in such manner.But somehow, Mary could not deny the fact that she actually enjoyed what she was doing to her, she enjoyed it and she wanted more if him, but at the same time she felt confused and scared. She had no idea why.She managed to push him away from her, getting rid of his hands roaming her body aimlessly, she fled his study while panting heavil

    Mary looked from Emma to the shattered glass on the ground, with a shocked expression on her face, and then the brown liquid that had started crawling its way under the carpet. She could see bubbles forming and popping on the liquid. “Why do you always have to be so incompetent?” The old woman shouted angrily pointing her fingers at her. She watched the veins on her neck protrude as she shouted. Mary Wondered what was wrong, why did Emma suddenly react that way? Mary was already shaking like a frightened little girl, she feared she was going to have a panic attack. Emma’s fingers looked like they were ready to pluck out her eyes, and at that moment Mary longed for her mother’s embrace, she longed for someone she could run into their hand for safety lest she would be consumed by her fears.She was scared, and at the same time surprised, surprised that just like that the woman’s mood swings had come and she was once again the grumpy over bearing woman that she used to be.

    Mary could not get her eyes off Adonis face while he cleaned and covered up her wound. She tried to gauge his expression, does he look angry? But she could hardly get anything from his face. “You should always do this whenever you have a wound” he finally said when he was done cleaning her wound. He picked up the first aid kit and stood up straight and before Mary could bring herself to say anything, he turned around and the next moment he was gone.Mary quickly stood up and went to look at him through the window. She watched as he entered the car and drove off. She suggested that he probably came home to pick something he might have forgotten.Seeing that her day was not going as she initially planned, as she had already had a bad day. And there was a feast going on in the inside of her head which the occupants do not have a single emphatic for her. Mary thought having a quick nap would resolve the whole chaos inside of her head. She slept off as soon as she was inside her room,

    Mary’s heart started beating fast as she slowly turned to look at her. The rage and fire in her eyes as she looked at her made her even more scared and alarmed. Mary thought she might have found her out, or perhaps she knew all along but choose to be quiet. Now this person showing up at their house might have probably aroused her anger.Mary tried as much as she could to avoid Emma’s gaze, her anger seemed to be on edge at that very moment, and it looked like she was about to lash out at her. Mary had no one else to blame than the lady who had showed up at their house few minutes ago to try to get an interview from her. “Yes Ms. Emma” she finally answered with shaky voice, with her head bowed, looking at her shoes. “Do not even let any of all these lowlife journalists into this house ever again, and mind you, they could be disguised as anything while coming so you have to be wise to fish them out and throw them right back into the streets where they belong. Do you hear me?” She

    Mary wondered who it was that Emma was talking to and what they could be talking about. She could not get anything from what they were saying, but she was certain it was not Adonis she was talking to. “What if she comes in here and sees me?” Mary whispered. “Oh! My God I’m so dead”. She started looking around the study for a suitable place to hide herself in case Emma decides to come in there. “I think under the table would do” she tried fitting herself under he table and due to her small size, she fit in perfectly well. But what she did not know was if she was still visible from there.However luck shone on her, few minutes later she could no longer hear their voices, it looked like they were gone.Mary rushed to the door and opened it a crack, she looked left and right, and confirmed they were really gone before she finally stepped out of the room. She finally let out a sigh of relief when she came out of the room. Then her thought went back to Adonis.“I wonder where he ha

    Mary was stunned, but she stood still anyways. She had been looking for him after all, maybe they could even drive home together. She stood waiting there with a smile, waiting for the car to come close, but much to her amazement it drove right past her, but she was more shocked that he passed through another route that did not lead to his house. "Where could he be going to by this time". Probably to find another woman, but why did he ignore her? Probably that was not him. Mary shrugged her shoulders and started walking home. The air outside that might seemed cool, Mary felt her hair been blown backwards by the breeze. While she walked she could not just stop thinking about Adonis. She was surprised to see Adonis car packed in the driveway when she got home. That meant the car she saw was definitely not him. "I'm sorry for thinking ill of you" she said aloud to no one in particular. Maybe now that he was at home she would have the opportunity to see him and apologize f

    He disengaged from her to pick his phone, and only then did she have a feel of fresh air. The hotness she felt from his torture started to cool down a bit. “This is an important call, I need to take it. Goodnight” he kissed her softly on her lips before he walked away. “Wow!” Mary exclaimed.Mary had again realized that she was totally smitten by him, there was not more escape for here. “It’s not like I want to escape though” Mary sat in the sitting room for a bit longer, secretly hoping that Adonis comes back to join her. Perhaps they could continue from where they stopped.But after waiting for a long time and he did not come down. “Maybe the call was that important that it’s taking all his time” Mary tried concentrating on the series showing on the T.V while munching on her cake. But seeing that she could not concentrate, she decided to go to bed instead.Mary arrived at her at noon, her parents were so happy to see her. “You look so grown up now* her mother said looki

    Mary started coughing when her father asked about Coney island. “Here, have some water baby”. He mother handed her a glass of water. “Thanks mom” “Careful so you don’t get choked with your food” dad said. She nodded. “Coney island is actually doing very well, calm as always” she smiled. “Honey do you know that Mary had been to Tribeca” her mother chapped in causing Mary to role her eyes “Really”. Her dad looked surprised “Actually I was there with my colleagues for some work” “You know I used to work there some time ago, all those rich and fancy looking people who stay there” “You know I’ve missed this” Mary immediately cut in. “I mean all of us sitting here and having a meal together as a family”. “Although there’s one person missing here” Mrs. Wilberforce added. “And I’ve not heard from him for the longest time, regardless tomorrow he would be here and we would all be complete”. “Cheers to that” Mary lifted up her glass.While they ate, Mary tried to

"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.

    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
