Mary tried to wake up as early as she could in order to join the morning prayers. She does not want her parents thinking that she had turned wayward.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes lightly and looked herself in the mirror, as usual she looked a mess with her hair scattered all over her face.

She gradually swept it backwards with her fingers and packed it into a clean ponytail.

By the time she got to the sitting room, her both parents were already awake and sitted.

"See who has come to join us" Mr Wilberforce announced excitedly on seeing his daughter.

"Good morning dad, good morning mom" she bent down to kiss each one of them on the chin.

Mr Wilberforce said the prayers today, and it was relatively a long one like always. As a kid Mary always hated when her dad would lead the prayers because it always took lots and lots of time, it was as if he was praying for the whole country.

Mary sighed when the prayer was finally over, she went back to her room, hoping to catch some mor

    Mary raised her head so she could meet Taylor's gaze. "Well I do not have a choice in this situation" she said with a low voice, she tried hard to fight the tears that were threatening to rush out of her eyes if she kept being emotional. "I'm so going to miss you" Taylor cried out, putting her arms around her and embracing her tightly. "I'm going to miss you too". She said rubbing Taylor's back lightly. "I should go see Mr Greg now" she said as she pulled away from the hug. Mary asked if Mr Coleman was still in close contact with Adonis and Taylor affirmed to that, she had heard him on call with Adonis a few times. But Taylor felt there was something fishy about it since he was trying to keep it hidden. Mary thought about it for sometime and wondered what it could be that Mr Coleman and Adonis had with each other. They waved at each other before Mary walked away, to her bosses office. Mary knocked slowly on Mr Greg's office before she pushed it open and walked in. He w

    "You mean you have been forgiven? And you cans still work here?" Taylor asked excitedly with her eyes wide open. "Yes" Mary nodded happily. The both embraced each other tightly.

"Come on" Mary said stretching out her arms towards him. "You are lucky today is Mary's lucky day, I would have showed you". Taylor said to Chris after they disengaged from the hug. Chris rolled his eyes at her in his typical feminine manner. "So you both are yet to out grow throwing tantrums at each other" Mary said laughing. "Well you should be talking to Taylor, she would just not let me be, I think she is jealous". "Jealous of who? You?" Taylor made a face. "I rather kiss a frog than get jealous of you Chris". "Then I would go find you a handsome frog to kiss, meanwhile I have to go continue my work. And c

    "Of course not" Mary said in hurry. "I do not have boyfriend mom" she said shyly. "It seemed like you were so passionate with whoever you were talking to on the phone" her mom said jokingly. Mary wondered how much her mum heard, she wanted to aske her, but it would raise suspicions. So she just let it be. The food was almost done by the time they both went back to the kitchen, Mary and her mom set the table together. Her mom teased her some more about having a boyfriend which as responded to shyly. By the time Mr Wilberforce came back from work, the table was already set. "Dad" Mary greeted kissing her dad's chin. "I smell something delicious". He said sniffing the air. "Guess what dad, we are having Mac and cheese for dinner". "Wow!" He exclaimed. "My mouth feels watery already" he joked. They both laughed as they walked inside holding hands. "I would just drop these and come back for dinner, I can't wait to pounce on this delicious meal" he said jokingly.

    Mary stopped in her tracks, with eyes wide open as he turned around to face her, she stood dumbfounded as those familiar blue eyes stared into hers getting her stuck where she stood. Her heart skipped several beats as she looked at him, her first instinct was to run into the kitchen where her mom was making breakfast and run into her arms where she would be safe from the monster that now stood in front of her. "Hi. Mary, long time no see" he said with a smile. Mary was calm a bit, his voice sounded friendly and not the cold murderous voice she was expecting to here. But what if he was being sarcastic? "What are you doing at my house? And how did you know my house?" She queried. Should she even be surprised that he knew her house? She was fully convinced then, since she had more reasons to believe he actually sent her threats the last time, he knew her house that was why he was able to send her threats. "Won't you even welcome me? Do you not miss me?" Mary thought she saw

    "Oh! She mentioned to me once that she went to Tribeca for some work" Mrs Wilberforce said. "Mary you didn't tell your dad and I that you are working with Adonis Scott" she asked turning to Mary. "Oh! She might have forgotten to add that too". Mary bit her lips so hard that she started to feel the pains, she wished so badly that she could shut both Adonis and her parents up. Thankfully, they stopped talking about her for a bit. Adonis faced her dad and they started talking about business. "Thank you so much for inviting me to have breakfast with you" Adonis announced as they finished eating. "We are actually very hospitable people" Mrs Wilberforce said with a smile. "I would leave you and your friend to talk then" she said as she packed the dishes to the kitchen to wash them. "Mary, won't you come with me? Emma needs you so much at this time". Adonis said as soon as her parents were out of sight. Mary kept staring at him, he sure was a good pretender, his acting looked

    Mary slowly raised her hand and rubbed Emma's back lovingly, trying so hard to comfort her. She could see that it was obvious that Emma was terribly shaken by the fire incident, she wondered how much damage the fire had caused and how it even started in the first place. But something inside of her told her it must have been Adonis who had set the fire, he has been proven to be a monster, but what kind of monster tries to hurt his own grandmother like this? Mary was heartbroken seeing Emma like that, that she almost started to regret leaving her. "Stay here while I go get you some juice" she said and tried to get up, she thought getting her juice would help calm her down. But all of a sudden she held unto her, asking her not to go away again. "I'm not going away again okay? I would just go get you some juice and I would be back immediately". It took much convincing before Emma finally let her go.

    Mary's first instinct when she woke up the next morning was to check up on Emma, after making sure she was not looking the mess she normally looked every morning before she came out of her room. She went straight to Emma's room, the old woman was already awake and sitting on her usual spot, she looked quite calm that morning and okay too. "Good morning Ms Emma" Mary greeted with a smile on her face,. She responded to the greeting with an even broader smile. "How are you doing this morning and I hope you had a good night's sleep?" "I did, thanks to you" she said smiling. She requested for tea and toast that morning, Mary walked to the kitchen to get it ready for her amidst fears that it might be a trap and of course she was looking for a reason to become edgy and have another mood swings and that was why she requested for something different today. She however succumbed to her wish and made what she wanted. While Mary walked to the kitchen, she saw Adonis going out. He

    She was getting ready to faint right there until she saw the car, and the direction it was heading to. It was not Adonis car, neither was to heading towards their house. But it belonged to one of their neighbors and was driving towards his house. Standing by the window Mary let out several sigh of relief. Thanks God it was not him. She moved away from the window and continued her search. Mary was disappointed by the time she was done with her search, she ended up not finding anything reasonable. It was just such a waste of time. Mary suddenly remembered the room Adonis had told her was out of bound, this was a good time to invade that room and nothing was stopping her from doing it. She quickly sneaked out of the study, and hurried away. In her rush forgot to lock the door just as she had met it. She rushed to the supposed secret room and repeated the same process she did with the other door, she twisted and turned her hairpin. When she felt like she was almost nearing open

    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
