Chapter twenty-seven
She rode her way to her job site with constant sighs, at that point in time, everything around her seemed blurry as thoughts of the prior event webbed her mind. Just when she thought there was that flicker of hope did everything slumber.
Because I do not want to lose you...
Those words hunted her and there were possibilities they would hunt her all the days of her life, perhaps if he hadn't killed it all with the latter.
There never will be anything beyond the employer-employee relationship between them.
She had to stop deluding and adhere to his piercing words of having no motives.
Zaphrina had exited the busy highways, directed to the private road where her old BMW decided—of all times—to have a seizure. It was about time she got a new car and shy away from the abrupt embarrassments.
She dashed out of the car to see what went wrong. She examined all possible corners she suspected of malfunction to see

Selena Gomez- the heart wants what it wants. The view on his laptop screen from his office desk was heart-ripping. Watching every bit of it felt like a blunt knife being shoved into his skin. Death was a better option than the sight of her smile glints originating from someone else and not him. Not wanting any more of emotional torture, Marley disconnected himself from the Closed-Circuit Television. One sure thing was, Zaphrina was a tremendous distraction. He scarcely concentrated on anything; be it work-related, family related as well as himself. For some odd reasons, he loved it. She was now his favorite distraction. He eyed the stack of files and manuscripts on his office table, it was going to take an eternity to attend to every one of them especially with a bomb of a lady preoccupying his senses. Yet, he set on. He began signing, stamping, reading and typing. The latter wasn't successful as he leaned bac

They were both in Marley's low profile Toyota RAV4 neither of them uttering a word. He found the silence irritating. He knew not what to say, or perhaps he did but knew not where to commence. Marley saw her delve into her purse for her phone. She must have gotten tired of staring out the window, Her fingers jabbed the phone screen before taking it onto her ears. A frown etched her face giving him the impression that she must have fallen into voicemail. She tried the number one more time, still, she fell into voicemail. Marley eyed her and while doing so, curiosity got the best of his eyes. She had been trying to call a man--Mason as seen on the caller ID. He would've thought it was her brother if the name hadn't stroke a part of his memory. It was a conversation he couldn't forget, though he was in the worst of conditions. "Mason I don't know what to say, you hurt me so much that the scars will never heal." The guy that nig

Her night has been restless. That explained why she was awake as early as four am. With a preoccupied mind, she did her morning routine and was ready to leave home earlier than usual. Zaphrina opened the door to suspended knuckles. Before her stood a girl of her age or so, her crimson ombre hair cascaded down her mid-back. Her oval, calm-pasted face revealed a soothing smile. The shade of her big orbs could put the ocean to shame. Zaphrina's gaze wandered south to see a belly bump protruding from the fitting sleeveless blouse she had on. Based on her assumptions, the young girl would be dancing between tweleve to fifteen weeks. Her hand owned a chubby little girl, judging from the feeble eyes and rosy cheeks, it was clear the little one hadn't had enough sleep. "Good morning," The girl said. "Good morning," Zaphrina reflected. "I'm sorry to disturb you at these early hours of the morning. I have an appointment with my obstetrician in about twe

Like a teenager. Yes, that was how he looked like. She loved the way his eyes glistened and every smile which graced his lips after she approved of both of them. It was an experience she wouldn't trade for anything in the world. It was barely eleven in the morning. Elijah drove her home. Even though she was completely swallowed up in her own thoughts, the bits of looks which Elijah stole of her from the rearview mirror didn't go unnoticed as it wasn't new to her in the first place; Earlier that day, her fellow comrades threw similar hefty looks at her- Anna, most especially. The petite's mouth wouldn't stop parting and shutting in an attempt to shoot endless bullets of questions. Was the emotional change so obvious? It'd been a while since she hadn't felt that way. Her lips broke into an oblivious smile. Her ride came to a stop with the chivalrous Elijah waving her goodbye. On stepping into the house, she was quickly welcom

Zaphrina straightened on her seat, tried as much as possible to not erupt her discomfort before him. So far, the night had rolled bump-free. But, Zaphrina knew too well that, just like the pros, the cons existed too. She had foreseen, thought, acquired, rehearsed yet, she felt as blank as a sheet of paper. As scared as a man in a lion's den and perplexed as a History student in further maths lectures. Truth is like a wound, it hurts but cures. Little Thomas Greene's words reflected before her, just like her image would do before a mirror. "I put them on, yes, strictly on special occasions," She didn't lie, so she thought. She returned to the glass of water she had almost choked on earlier, taking huge, throat breaking gulps this time, praying for it to choke her to the point of hospitalization, for she knew, she was drastically going to fall off cloud nine if the conversation wasn't diverted as soon as possible. Yes, cloud nine; She felt something special with Marley interiorly

Inspired by Calum Scott--You are the reason. The day had risen with Zaphrina's head throbbing like it was incessantly being hit with a sledgehammer. She reached the maid's quarters, where she heard faint giggles originating from the kitchen. She went over to the moderately sophisticated kitchen to see Leila and Neville already present; discussing on the tiny marbled kitchen counter over a cup of coffee and toasts—evidence of being late. Elijah picked her up forty-five minutes after she was all prepared for work which wasn't a habit she would've nurtured even with her car in the sickbed. "The young master instructed I pick you up at seven o'clock prompt." he had said. Seven o'clock on daily basis, was the time she was already seated at the granite kitchen island, staring at the coffee cup beneath the coffee machine as she impatiently waited for Neville to give her the green light whilst tapping her fingers on the island out of i

"Babe, we need to talk. Like right now," the lady, whose arms were crossed above her chest ordered. Zaphrina's gaze twitched to her minted green ones. The girl in person looked quite familiar to her. Yes, she could remember her, like it was just yesterday. Her ponytail glossy auburn barnet freely cascaded down her mid-back. The lass was dressed in a simple, fitting brown lacy dress above a pair of shiny black pumps. She was no doubt the lady who got lipstick and foundation smudges all over Marley's shirt that one and faithful day. Zaphrina's stare fluctuated from hers to Marley's who was already looking at her with a chain of justifications reflecting back at her. She gently shook her head in dismay as her weight vacated the bed. "Zaphrina, I want you to-" he began, rising from the bed too. "I'll be in my work unit, young master," She bowed. "I'll leave you two right away. Now, if you would excuse me." She rushed to the door, whe

"Why did you do that?" Marley quizzed, furiously stomping into the office where Louisa was still seated just the way he left her. Her head instantly snapped to the door and her mouth readied to utter a word just to be shut at the sight of a figure, which managed to look composed and classy regardless of a turmoil, scurrying behind him. "Louisa," She called, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" "Indeed Mum, but I had your information to report to him as you requested." Louisa sighted Marley from her peripheral vision as if communicating something to him. "Ok. I'll like you to reach Mrs. Huron's as soon as you're done with school, she's got an attic that requires remodeling. Two days maximum is all I can give you. You know who to reach for whatever's essential. Any negative feedback will drive you back there," she ordered. "You may leave us, your brother," she turned to him. "And I have serious matters on our platter to deal wit
