“I don't think I can promise you that…..” Marley began. “But I'll take care of him as much as I can.” She concluded.The older woman nodded. “You are right. Nobody knows what the future holds and it won't do us any good to promise and break it. I just don't want my son to get hurt, hope you understand?”Marley nodded her head.“Do you know my son is suffering from amnesia?” The woman asked her.“Yes, he told me.”“And you still want to marry him?”“Yes.”Mrs. Kalvey nodded her head and sighed wearily. “My son has been through a lot, he was suffering from a heartbreak when all these happened. It's a miracle he has someone he desires to marry, I thought it was over for him when he wouldn't date or even look at any woman.” “The heartbreak and the incident left him broken, he thought we couldn't see it but I saw it clearly. My son was suffering, silently. Please take care of him, Marley. He deserves much better.”Marley kept quiet and the woman took hold of her hand. “You will, won't you

Marley stared at the document displayed on her phone screen.It was a document listing acquaintances and close friends.Anthonio had sent it a few minutes ago with instructions to memorize the names.It has been one week since that dinner night and he hadn't messaged her once before now.She went through the names and immediately sent them to the headquarters.They will research the personalities.Sofia appeared with Mick behind her.She glanced over at Marley meeting her eyes, then she kissed Mick on the lips.“Let me get some work done honey, then we will meet later, okay?” She said to Mick who nodded and patted her hair.“I'll wait for you.” He kissed her one more time and left.Sofia tucked her hair behind her ear and gave Marley a smug look before moving to her desk.Marley snickered. What was this bitch playing at?Does she think she will be jealous of their little disgusting couple act?Marley spared her phone one last glance before focusing on her day's work.The headquarters

Marley moved quietly in that direction, her heart thumping fast.She knew it was foolish to follow someone who may be dangerous or armed without being armed herself.She had forgotten to take her pocket knife with her, so now she was left with her fists.She reached the end and turned sharply to the left but saw nothing.She heard it as soon as it moved. A footstep.She turned immediately but a blow landed on her cheek tilting her head sideways. She avoided the next blow with her arm.She faced her attacker fully. The person was clad in an overall black outfit, a black cap on the head, and a black mask hiding the face.The blows came and Marley tried her best to avoid them, then she saw an opening and landed a vicious blow on the side of her opponent.Her opponent bucked forward giving Marley the cue which she took expertly.Her fist landed on the head and the cap flew off revealing blonde hair mixed with red.The hair was long enough to hide the eyes.Marley raised a fist.“Marley?”

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.“

“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.”
