The next morning, Mary was surprised to find herself lying comfortably on the bed, she had remembered sitting on the chair and reading a book before she was eventually carried away by sleep. She could not even remember a line from what she read the previous night, it was such a pity that her effort to use the book to keep awake turned out to be futile. She sat up and looked to the other side to find her novel closed and kept neatly on the bedside table, she wondered if it was Adonis that had come into her room and helped her lye comfortably on the bed. "well who else?" She rolled her eyes. "He probably finally got time from whoever it was he was texting on his phone and had time for me". She stood up from her bed to go look through the window, into the garden. She suddenly remembered that she had to serve Emma's coffee that morning, "I better hurry up before she gets mad at me". While making her to the the kitchen she found Adonis in the sitting room, he was just sitting and sta

Adonis stood there with his hands in his pocket as he watched her walk away from him. A lot of emotions he could not explain ran through his mind, causing chaos in the inside of his head. He slowly went back inside his study and picked his phone. He looked through the window and saw her walking through the walkway across the street. Having no zeal to continue with his work, Adonis walked out of his study, Closed the door and walked straight to his room. While Mary sat in the bus back to Ohio, she rested her head on the window, looking outside through the window, at houses and the stores they drove past. She sighed before she brought out her phone from her bag and texted Mia that she was already on her way home. Mia texted back and asked her to be careful, and wished her good luck too. It was already evening by the time Mary got home, her both parents had just come back from work and were getting ready to make dinner. Mrs Wilberforce came to open the door when Mary kn

Mary blinked repeatedly as the rays of sunlight from the open window hit her face, warming her face up causing her to squint as she opened her eyes fully. She realized only then that she had forgotten to close her window before she slept off last night. She wondered why her mom had not woken her up for the usual morning prayers and at the same time she was glad that her sleep was not interrupted. She picked up her phone from the bedside table and scrolled through it, even though she hated Adonis so much for trying to kill her, a part of her still expected to see a text from him. She let out a sigh of relief when there was nothing from him on her phone, and also chided her heart for being stupid. Standing up from the bed she arranged her scattered hair scattered hair which looked like that of a bedraggled masquerade before finding her way out of her room. The moment she stepped out of her room, the sweet aroma of cooking hit her nose. She knew immediately that her mom was at

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

"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. "I'm finally going to have my roommate back" Taylor said. "Are you girls not going to include me in the hug" Chris chipped in from behind. "Or do I not deserve to celebrate with you?" "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
