“There is my sweet little sister” Clay exclaimed the moment he sighted Mary. Mary rushed over to hug him. “And there is my sweet big brother, have you been well?” “As you can see” he spread his arms wide. “You don’t look bad my dear” he said turning her around. “I know how to take care of myself remember” she teased “Yes I can see that, you have really done a lot of growing up all these while, I can hardly believe this is my little sister” he said spinning her around. “Of course, when you have forgotten about me all these while, you have not even bothered to check up on your little sister” Mary said frowning. “That’s not the case, and you know it, I have been working on a lots of things and it had taken a whole lot of my time” “To the point that you forgot about me?” “Of course not —” they were interrupted by Mrs Wilberforce voice. “Someone seems to be invisible here” “Oh! There goes my sweetest mum” he goes over to hug his mother. “You were so carried awa

“You’ve got a kid there?” Mia asked, Mary could almost see her shrink her face in disapproval. Mia had once expressed her dislike for kids to Mary. “Yes…. My nephew. But he is sweet kid though” Mary said smiling. “Doesn’t sound like it”. “Whatever, meanwhile you are saying something really serious” Mary said sarcastically not expecting anything serious from her anyways. “Oh! Yes like I was saying, Mary this is really serious and you have to really listen to me”. “Alright” Mary rolled her eyes. “My ears are down”. “Mary you really have to be careful with Mr Adonis Scott, if possible move out from his house if you can”. “What?” Mary exclaimed Wondering why Mia would just come up with something like that all of a sudden. “How can you say something like that?”. Mary stood up and started going to her room to take the call, she could not risk staying in the living room and having her parents or brother hear her call and know everything about Adonis and her job to spy on

Clay kept his gaze on Mary’s face while they ate, trying to watch her facial expression. Mary on the other hand tried her best to maintain a straight face and not act suspicious to avoid having to being asked questions she had no answer to “Mom don’t you think Mary’s been acting a bit suspicious lately?” Clay asked while clicking his fork on the plate. Mary dropped her fork and looked up with an angry look. “Clay leave your sister alone and stop pestering her, she looks irritated already” Mrs Wilberforce said noticing Mary’s looks. “I’m just trying to call your attention to your daughter” he smirked. “No Clay” Mary fired back, I think you are the one acting suspicious”. “Whatever”. “Alright you both stop whining, your food would get cold” Mr Wilberforce said. They ate in silence in the next few minutes before Clay started talking about his company. Mary tried to get rid of every thoughts of Adonis and his murder case even for that moment and join in the conversatio

Mary had a familiar feeling of déjà vu as she walked into the cubicle that she used to share with Taylor. “I’ve missed this place for real” she said smiling and looking around. “I know right and I have missed having you around”. Mary sat on her table looking around, remembering how she used to sit there and work. “So tell me” Taylor clapped her hands together to get her attention. “How is the interview going with Mr Adonis Scott?” Mary rolled her eyes, it’s not exactly an interview, it’s more like an investigation”. They both laughed. “So how does it feel like to be an under cover spy to a hot billionaire like Adonis Scott” Chris asked in his usual feminine gesture. “You know Mary, I really envied you dear, I wished I had been the one to get into trouble like you and sent over to live with Adonis Scott, I could imagine what it would feel like leaving in the same house and seeing that hot and sexy guy every single day of your life” he had closed his eyes and placed his

Mary was wary of her environment as she sat in the bus on her way home, she did not want a repetition of the event that had happened earlier in the day. She could not help but wonder why and how Adonis was in contact with her Mr Coleman. She tried not to over think it, they were probably already close before now. Mary almost jumped out of her skin when someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. She turned back amidst fast heartbeats to see who it was. It was a young girl of about twelve. She looked at Mary with sharp almost teary eyes. “I’m really sorry for bothering you mam, you just share a striking resemblance with someone I know, I almost thought you were her”“Oh! I see” Mary nodded slowly, a bit relieved, and also feeling a bit sorry for the little girl but had no time to show compassion since her mind was already in shambles. When Mary finally got to her bus stop, she alighted from the bus but was surprised to see the young girl come down too and was walking behind
