Chapter Twenty-two
" 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! Of course you can come with her some other day, but today I'd like you to come see what I've done with the house."

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

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.
