``FEW HOURS EARLIER ``Marley unlocked her door and a hand shot out suddenly, dragging her inside.“Ouch. Easy.” Marley hissed and jerked her hand back.“Sorry ma'am.” A man bowed his head.“We should get started.” Marley moved towards a flower vase and she threw it to the ground, and it broke into tiny pieces..She moved to the couch and tried to turn it over. “Hey, I need a hand here.” She said over her shoulder and the man rushed to her side. They both turned the couch upside down.“Mess up this place. I'll take care of my room.” Marley ordered, and the man nodded, then smashed a mirror glass.Marley went into her room and dragged the sheet out of her bed, also doing some damage around the room.Then she went to her safebox and typed in a code, it beeped open. She hurriedly took out the documents from it and placed them into a bag.A flash drive lay inside the safe box and she took it out. She stared at it for a while before putting it into the bag.She stood up and stared around.

“Brother.”“Mandy, what is it?” Anthonio said into the phone.“Why are you sounding like that? Is everything okay?”“I'm fine.”“Is it because the honeymoon was cut short?”“Huh?”“Peter said you were in the office today. Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?”Fuck you, Peter.“Urrrr… I had pending work so we had to come back.”“Ohh…”“Why are you calling?”“I couldn't get in touch with Marley so I called you to ask if you were with her.”“No I'm not with her.”“Isn't she back home yet?”“Huh? Home?”“Yes. Hasn't she moved in?”“Urrr…. She… has.. No, she is not back.” He stuttered.“Ohh okay, I'll call back later.” The call ended and Anthonio sighed.He needed to be careful with the words he uttered.His mind went to Marley. Should he call her?To at least warn her of his sister's call.After much thought, he typed her number but a call came in instead.It was her.“Speak of the devil. I was about to call you…” Anthonio started to say but she interrupted him.“Mr Kalvey… Anthon

Peter walked into Sheinds company, he passed the financial department and saw some of the employees moving around, their feet agitated.Their faces were also agitated and nervous and they were fumbling with papers on their desks.The team leader looked up from his desk and saw Peter. Relief washed in his eyes and he hastened towards him.“Mr King.” He called out as he came forward.“What's going on here?” “Mr Kalvey requested all the financial paperwork from five years ago, we are trying to provide it but one of the papers is missing, that's why everyone is like this. Mr Kalvey must not hear of this if not we may likely lose our jobs.” The man's body was shuddering unknown to him. He was so nervous and afraid.Being the team leader, he was the one with the responsibility for anything going on in his team and if the paper wasn't found, he might lose his job.“But why is Mr Kalvey asking for the paperwork?” Peter asked him. The employees were still moving around and bringing out docume

“Are you married Miss Neils or engaged? Because it looks like an engagement ring. Are you….” John was saying and Marley shook her head.“No, no. It's not. I just got it from a store last week. I didn't mean to wear it on my left finger.” Marley said and chuckled awkwardly.John laughed too. “Thank goodness. That means you are still available.” He grinned and walked away.Marley hurriedly took off the ring and slipped it into her trousers pocket.That was so close. How could she have forgotten the ring on her finger?She turned to leave but bumped into Mick.“Marley….”“Excuse me.” She cut him short and went her way.*What was his deal?*He has been stealing glances at her over the past few weeks, thinking she didn't know.What did he want from her?She settled behind her desk and sighed. She can't afford to deal with Mick right now; he was the least of her problems.She drifted back to oblivion. To the thoughts that have been consuming her mind since Saturday.Anthonio.She was thinki

She wanted to kiss this man.She wanted to kiss her enemy.She must have been going crazy to wish such a thing; yes, she was indeed crazy.Her eyes dwelled on his lips a little longer then she blinked rapidly as if doing so would push away the thoughts in her head.“Are you okay Miss Neils?” Anthonio called out to her and she stopped blinking. “Is something in your eyes?”“I thought you said we should drop the formalities now that we are married.”“I guess you are okay if your tongue is as sharp as this.” Anthonio licked his thumb and Marley averted her eyes.“Don't think so much about the honeymoon. It would also be fake as everything else.”“Ohhh…”Anthonio grunted and wiped his lips with his napkin. Marley struggled not to let her eyes follow the movement.*What was wrong with her?!*“We won't go anywhere for a honeymoon but I'll ask you to keep a low profile from my family especially my sister, now that you guys are …‘friends’.” His lips tugged up and Marley knew he was teasing he

“Congratulations.” Marley and Anthonio nodded at the greetings.“Marley.” Mrs Kalvey came forward, a joyful smile on her face.Marley returned her smile but it faltered a little when Mrs Kalvey pulled her into a warm hug.“I'm so happy you are part of the family now.”Marley didn't respond.Mrs Kalvey turned to her son and hugged him too. “My son.” Her voice was tinted with contentment.“Mother…”“I think Mr Mondrich wanted to speak to you, go on. I'll stay with your wife, dear.” Mrs Kalvey said and Anthonio left to meet the acquaintance.Mandy came forward with a slight smile on her face. “Congratulations.”Marley nodded her head in acknowledgement.“Now that you are married to my brother, I don't wish for us to have any misunderstanding or sour feelings towards one another. I know I haven't been at my best behavior and I'm sure you know why, so let's put it all behind us.” Mandy said and Marley searched her face.Her facial expression was neutral apart from a slight smile at her lip
