"Yes!" Adonis continued. "I had to struggle too to be able to afford some basic needs in life. Emma is part of my Success story". Mary nodded her head. "I can see why you love her so much" "I can do anything for her". Mary talked more about her childhood, and how things were always hard for them. She talked about how she could not go to college and how sad that made her feel. While she talked, she made sure to avoid mentioning her newspaper. "So so you have plans of going back to college?" Adonis asked. "Maybe when I might have saved up enough money". Adonis nodded. "I really admire your fighting spirit Mary" he lightly tapped her shoulder. "So what would I do to make you play cards with me?" Mary asked excitedly as they drove home on Adonis car. "You really want to play cards huh! How sure are you that I would not beat you the same way I just did?" "Because I am a master of cards, I have taken time to study all the tactics of playing ca

Mary hardly got any sleep that night, she kept tossing and turning on the bed, she was at the Verge of losing her job and nothing seemed to be working out at all, nothing. She punched the bed repeatedly as flickers of tears kept dropping from her eyes and soaking her bedsheet. Although things seems to not be going as planned, she was determined to not give up, after all she was a fighter.She woke up the next morning with a weird feeling, there seemed to be a very big pit in her stomach. When she stepped out of her room, she could hear Adonis downstairs talking on the phone, she could hardly get anything out of what he was saying, the only thing she knew was that he was irritated and angry. She wondered what could have gotten him angry that early in the morning. She tried to draw closer, to hear what he was saying.She stood at the foot of the staircase when he lifted her his head and saw her, she smiled at him but he does not return her smile instead he walked away on her ang

Mary borrowed Mia's clothes, since they were almost of the same size and age, it was not hard for Mia's clothes to fit in on her. They got to the club, Mary felt a bit awkward at first. "I have never been in a strip club before" Mary whispered to Mia as they got inside. "Neither have I" Mia answered. "So how come you have these clothes?" Mary asked suspiciously. "You ask too many questions mary, we both came here to have fun, just pretend you are a stripper and just do your thing, and get rid of that awkward feeling. We don't want to look odd do we?" They had a few, maybe a little too much. Mary gradually started to loosen up after drinking and she watched other strippers and started to do a strip dance, although she was a bit clumsy. After a few minutes, some group of men walked into the club, Mary saw a familiar figure among them. "Adonis!" She exclaimed. "Mia, Adonis is here" she whispered to Mia and started acting restless. "Come on Mary you do n

"Here you go Ms. Emma" Mary dropped the orange juice she had made for Emma on the table. "I made this myself, specially for you" she said with a big smile on her face. Mary and Emma had started to get along pretty well lately. Emma had apologized for her outburst the other day and they were on good terms again. A few days had passed an Mary was yet to get hold of any reasonable information concerning Adonis and the supposed murder case. Adonis was really good in hiding and covering his tracks. Mary stood at the window in her room, watching the sunset. She had always loved to watch s the sun sets into the horizon, she loved the bright orange colours that spread out on the sky while the round beauty made it's way to the lower part of the sky. The sunset reminded her of her dad, and her home at Ohio. She would always watch the sunset with her dad every evening in the balcony. Adonis came back later than he had promised, as these while he he kept promising to play cards wi

There he was, sprawled out on the couch, lying the arms of two naked women. There were empty bottles of alcohol on the ground. Mary stood there, staring at them with wide eyes, she could not believe her eyes, she could already feel the tears stinging at her eyes. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound of her footsteps. He was obviously drunk. “You are back” he asked with a silly smile on his face. He stands up from the couch and walked towards her, staggering at intervals. “I thought you would not come back again, I’ve been waiting for you”. He tried to touch her but she pushed his hand away and ran to her room. Even though she did not know why, even though she had no right to claim ownership on him, Mary still found herself weeping uncontrollably because of what she had seen in the sitting room. She felt her heart tear into a thousand pieces, like a spear had been through it, piercing and tearing at it with every distance it goes into her weary heart. Her tears f
