Chapter Twenty-one
Nothing fools you better than the lie you tell yourself." -Unknown.
As Doris buttoned up the red-flannel shirt she wore over a black skin-tight jean the next morning, her thoughts flashed back to yesterday. Despite her attitude and foul thoughts towards Matthew, he didn't hesitate to accept the mistake as his and apologize, he made it seem like the fault was his.
Suddenly, Matthew's arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close to his chest. Using his nose, he nuzzled the gap in-between her ear. It was ticklish causing Doris to shudder.
"Good morning, sorry I wasn't here when you woke." He started.
She was left stunned at his words. Was he for real? Apologizing for not being beside her when she woke up this morning, gave her another reason to be a

" SIN HAS MANY TOOLS, BUT A LIE IS THE HANDLE WHICH FITS THEM ALL." ♠♠♠♠♠♠ Matthew shut the door once he and Adrienne were outside the mansion. He meant to see her off until she went out of earshot, but she had other things in mind. "So..." Adi drawled, looking and batting her lashes at Matthew. "So what?" he asked, massaging his shin while his left hand was inside the pocket of the tracksuit he was putting on. "Are you just going to see me off, won't you at least come see my house?" she replied. "Oh! I was planning to come visit one of these days, with my wife of course" He informed her, whilst staring at the big black gate. "Uhmm... uhh... sure!

Well, except Florence and her daughter. Zara who refused to stay away from Doris all day was eventually swayed by her mother, and was seated on her mom's lap. The others ran around to get the place set for whatever Alfred had in mind. "Alright everyone listen up!" Alfred called out while clapping his hands to gain everyone's attention. He dressed in white khaki shorts and plaid brown polo, and stood at the center of the garden. Everyone present turned to listen to what he had to say. "I'm sure you all are wondering why I asked you guys to help Kat get these things ready and bring them here," he took a thorough look at every face present, taking in the small gathering of people "I decided that since everyone's here, we sh

Amidst the conversation, Adi would move closer to give him a clear view of her cleavage, which wasn't very difficult to do due to how low the v-neck of the red gown she wore, was.

" -Unknown ♠♠♠♠♠ Doris was asleep for a long time that she didn't realize how long they've slept for, when she opened her eyes it was already dark outside. Added to that, Matthew wasn't even by her side when she awoke, his side of the bed was cold, and she wondered when she would ever beat him at rising up early. She rubbed her eyes to clear the blurry vision, but didn't fail to make out the heavenly aroma that probably seeped in through the slightly open door. Someone was definitely cooking. She thought about the probability of another occupant in the mansion asides her and Matt. After making use of the bathroom, she threw a minty candy - that she'd bought on her way to the airport, in her mouth, before walking out of the r

"That's the doctor attending to your father," Mrs. Udochi said to her son. "Mrs. Udochi can you come up to the reception please?" the nurse called out.
