Benita.

She was standing at the entrance of the hotel.

“It's really you.” She smiled at him.

A smile he didn't return, instead he analyzed her.

She was still as beautiful as ever, her porcelain skin shined under the exterior lights of the hotel.

And her lips was plump as before.

    “Benita.”“Wow, it is a splendid surprise seeing you here after that night,” Benita said, coming to stand before them.Marley squinted her eyes. What night?Her eyes moved from the woman to Anthonio; whose face now appeared cold. Something was definitely going on between these two.Benita fumbled with her fingers. “You didn't pick up my calls or reply to any of my texts.”“I was busy.”“Ohhh.” Benita chuckled dryly and then she stared at Marley.“Please forgive my manners, good evening.”Marley nodded. “Evening.” She waited for Anthonio to do an introduction but it wasn't forthcoming so she proceeded to do so.“Marley Neils, and you are?” She extended her hand for a handshake while assessing the female.Benita took her hand and held it more firmly than necessary also assessing her. “Benita Feathers.”Marley nodded her head in acknowledgement.“How have you been Anthonio?” Benita asked returning her attention to him.“Fine.”Benita shifted in her position, feeling awkward. “I wanted t

    “No I can't marry him.” Marley declared.Marley stirred and slowly opened her eyes.Was that a dream?Her eyes roamed the room and she sighed.She had been dreaming about the wedding.She dreaded it. But it was all the better because it would be unknown to the world, she couldn’t wait to complete her mission and get done with this pretense.Tomorrow was Friday and Mrs Kalvey had sent her a message to meet her this afternoon for a wedding gown fitting.This was too much for her. Mrs Kalvey looks like a nice woman and she didn't feel too good lying to her face.Well, no choice. She got up to dress for work.“Ummm..” someone cleared their throat prompting Marley to look up from her system.It was Mick. What is he doing here?“Urrrr…” He stuttered and came forward.“I heard you had a little incident. How's your head?”Marley didn't reply and continued to look on.He shifted feeling awkward.“Hope it is getting better?” He asked again.“What do you want Mick?” Marley finally spoke up.“Not

    “The doctor said you can be discharged by the end of today,” Anthonio said to Marley. He was seated opposite her at a breakfast table in the hospital cafeteria.Marley didn't reply but just picked at the food on the plate.“What's wrong?” Anthonio asked and she shrugged.Then she sighed. “Do you remember what happened last night?” She eventually asked what had been eating her up since.Anthonio's brows came up and he shook his head. “Last night? What happened?”“So you want to tell me you don't remember,” Marley asked.“Remember what exactly?”Anthonio looked confused and Marley sighed.He doesn't remember. “Forget about it.” She shook her head and took a bite from her slice of cake.Anthonio clicked his tongue. “We will be getting married in a week.”Marley's hand tightened on the fork she was holding.“So quick.”Anthonio nodded his head. “It has to be. We have already signed the contract and received my mother's blessing, so I don't see any reason to wait. Let's get it done with.”

    “I'm so sorry.” His words held sorrow and Marley halted.“I'm so sorry.” He croaked out again in his sleepy state.Marley came closer and shook him. “Anthonio wake up.” He took hold of her hand instead and drew her close, pulling her into a hug.Marley's body stiffened.“Anthonio……” She tried to wriggle from his hold but he held her tighter.“Please….. stay with me for a while. I'm scared.” He pleaded.Marley was confused about his state. He looked like he was having a nightmare when she saw his eyes.What was he dreaming about? And why was he scared?She stayed in his hold unsure of what to do. His body was still shuddering and his breathing was heavy.Then her hand came up and patted his back, softly, gently. Exactly the way her father did it when she was younger and frightened by thunderstorms. Just for tonight. Just for tonight she would let him this close to her. She would soothe him.Minutes later, Anthonio's body calmed and his arms around her body loosened.Marley broke the

    Marley pressed her weight on the door, trying to prevent the person outside from getting in.Who the hell was outside?Fuck. The shoving outside was getting intense and Marley's head throbbed.She was weak, but she used all the strength she could muster to hold the door shut.Then she heard a shout outside.“Who the hell are you?”It was Anthonio's voice.The shoving halted and she heard footsteps running.Then another follows.Marley still held her weight on the door unsure of what was going on outside.Then she heard footsteps coming back, then towards the door. It stopped.“Marley?” A tap and the doorknob twisted.Marley let go of the door and slumped to the floor. She was already exhausted.The door twisted open and Anthonio was at her side in seconds.“Marley?!” He held her shoulders and shook her gently.“Stop.” The impact was making her head throb more.He helped her get on her feet and guided her back towards the bed, she laid down in sweet relief, realizing she was so weak.“
