• Married to a stripper   Chapter Forty-five

  Marley had gotten a ten minutes acquaintance with the twins since Kate—as she preferred he called her—let him wait for Zaphrina inside. The young lady's calm demeanor gave him a sense of peace."So...are you dating my sister?" Lorna inquired as she scrutinized his seated and wandering physique.The home was quite cozy but a little too tiny. The sitting room was dotted with only necessary furniture to conserve some space. Truth be heard, he hadn't known people actually resided in homes as such. At least he learned something: he learned that people who struggled to make ends meets and lived simply were the happiest in the society."Uh...yh. I guess," he retorted, not exactly knowing what to say with respect to the current terms he and Zaphrina were in."What do you mean 'I guess'?" Lorna pushed."Lorna," the gentle Lola butted in. "You're making our guest uncomfy. It's ok with the questions alre

  Zaphrina had left her hiding place, apparently, she had been squatting on the other side of a car parked at the estate corridor still in her uniform.She hadn't time to change for she knew if she did that, Marley would've definitely caught up with her.She took a cab home once exposed to the highway, she blankly stared through the window with glassy eyes. The traffic wasn't helping matters as it left her thinking really hard.She kept wiping her eyes trying as much as possible not to break down in the open, especially with the driver shooting stares at her through the rearview mirror.She entered home to see her mom fidgeting in the sink, from the look of things, it hadn't been long she entered home judging by her appearance.Zaphrina dropped her bag on the floor, the thud causing her mum's head to spin."Oh my God, Zaphrina, what happened?"The latter's countenance suddenly f

  Time was wearing out and he still hadn't been an inch to finding his sister who was oddly littering a portion of the mad world.Marley hadn't spared a day without calling Inspector Darren to know how far into the investigation he had gone but it was one and the same story he had been reporting to him every day.Luckily, he had a supporting hand who seeded sanity in him whenever he was on the verge of madness.His door swung open and in came Zaphrina. She flicked the lights on, holding a breakfast tray in one hand. She beamed a priceless smile at him while walking to the Ottoman."Wake up sleepy head. Breakfast is served," Marley didn't move. "Cut the pretense unless you want me to do so the hard way,""Can't you be sweet for once and just join me in bed?" he muffled in the covers before taking them off with a sigh.Zaphrina shrugged then set on opening the heavyweight curtains

  It's been four days since Louisa went missing. While Marley had been busy searching for her, she had been busy laying assistance in one way or the other; made sure he had something to feed on, slept earlier than usual. Sometimes, she would offer to give him a massage against his will.Leila and Anna never stopped giving her the looks, silently pleading for explanations during those times. Gossip girls.Zaphrina sadly hadn't woken up on the good side; weariness and sudden cravings made her morning. She had called Marley first thing that day informing him about her absence but as he is, he flamed up. Bombarding questions upon questions.Are you sure you're ok? I mean...You've been taking care of me more than yourself lately.Do you need me over?I could return the massages, sadly, not for free.Is there anyone home who might assist you with anything? If not, I'm on my way.

  She hadn't thought of it earlier; she had an additional hater on her list. She should have known Marley's mum's the only person capable of digging into her past for reasons she was still to comprehend.The woman really hadn't respect for one's privacy and if she really wanted to have a successful relationship with Marley, ignorance definitely was the key.Marley had insisted to take her home to get body and mind settled. He assured her to do everything in his might to keep his mum from meddling into their personal lives. However, that really didn't boost her up as his mum's menaces repeatedly played in her head.She didn't have just her being to safe, the developing embryo in her had the sun to behold sooner.The car had come to a stop, bringing her back to presence."Thank you," She began. "I'm really sorry about Louisa missing,"Marley nodded with a faint smile brushing his lips

  His eyes flicked to his mum who had just walked in, satisfaction gracing her facial features, leaving Marley to hope and re-hope she hadn't done or said something stupid to Zaphrina.They were all in the massive sitting room where his dad sat, brooding over Louisa's disappearance with Lauren and himself waiting for an explanation and planning a way forward.Lauren looked beaten up which left him with guesses of his job crawling his neck.They both exchanged glances as their mum stood in the middle of the triad, arms folded in apprehension, scrutinizing each and every one of them.Frederick, whose gaze hadn't drifted from emptiness finally said,"I told her the truth," his expression still void of sentiments.Unlike Marley and Lauren, bewilderment slinked through Anthonia. As if expecting a piece of mind-blowing vital information, Anthonia ambled to the nearest seat which would support her alre
