Marshall bowed his head low, respectively.
“Thank for the meal, mum. I really enjoyed it and thanks for adding sweet fragrance to the jacket” He sniffed.
Leah’s mum blushed.
“Did you just call me mum?”
Marshall chuckled and nodded.
“He’s crazy” Leah shook her head.
She walked towards them and folded her hands.
“And thanks for not coming again. Thank you and goodnight” She pushed him out, and slammed the door on his face.
“You didn’t have to do that. It was harsh” Her mother grunted.
“Stop making the guy uncomfortable, please. I don’t want anybody especially him to get attached to any of us. Its a big no for me” Leah shook her head.
“And who said he’s uncomfortable. He has feelngs for you, girl”
“Yeah,,, right” Leah rolled her eyes in mockery.
“I’m going to bed. Gosh! What you said just gave me goosebumps. Be careful with your words, please!. What if I have a nightmare?” Leah seethed and left.
“What’s her problem? Is she stupid or blind? The guy feelings is so obvious?” Her mother whispered, shook her head and left the view.

THE BAR**
Lucy entered the bar and gestured to the bartender who came forward.
She just wanted to drink to stupor.
“Give me the strongest beer here. 4…No…5 bottles” She displayed her 5 fingers to him.
The bartender nodded and left.
He walked up to his friends.
“You like the tequila?” Simpson smiled, as he turned to the cellar.
“What’s this? What’s is Rowen’s wife doing here?” Fat Joe asked, staring at Lucy who sat down 3 seats away from them.
Kelly swallowed hard.
“Exactly my problem. Her sudden presence is making me get the chills. What’s she doing here this late? alone…at the bar”
“Gosh!” Fat Joe exclaimed and took his face away.
“She nearly saw us” Kelly muttered.
“What are you guys doing?” Simpson asked, bringing the 5 bottles, Lucy ordered.
“Nothing actually” Fat Joe chuckled, nervously.
“We are just gonna leave. We’ll be back tomorrow” Kelly said and stood up.
“Yes. Yes. Till tomorrow. Bye” Fat Joe waved.
“Huh? Wait. Why are- He was cut off by their weird take off.
“What’s wrong with them?” He muttered and went to Lucy.
MEANWHILE, OUTSIDE**
Kelly took out his phone and Fat Joe seized it from him.
“Hey. Who are you trying to call?” Fat Joe asked.
“Rowen,,, of course. Lucy is in a dangerous and not so nice place” Kelly uttered.
“Remember, their lives is none of our business. Let just let her be, before we put ourselves in trouble” Fat Joe advised.
“I guess you’re right. Let’s go” Kelly said and they walked away from the scene.

Helen laid on the bed, quite anxious. She had been su.ffering from in.somnia for days now, thanks to her husband.
She spranged up when she heard the sound of the door bell.
“Coming” She said and walked to the door.
She opened it to see a alcohol reeking Gavin.
“Gavin? Where are you coming from?” She asked closing the door behind him.
He just ignored her, totally.
“Why do you keep doing this to me?! What’s your problem seriously?? Tell me,,, Why did you marry me in the first place! Why did you say you love me in the first place, huh!! Do you even love me now!! I’m really…really tired!” She screamed, in tears.
“F*vk you, Helen!” He barked and slapped her.
She held her face and sobbed, quietly.
“Take off your clothes” He commanded.
Helen swallowed and shifted back.
“Huh?” She muttered, fearfully.
“You want s*x, huh?” He smirked, taking off his trousers.
“I’ll give you s*x!” He grabbed her.
“Let go of me, you monster! Why have s*x with i, your wife if you won’t cvm in me!! You are a bas. tard!! What i want is a child and not your busy, cas.tra.ted d* ck!!” She screamed and she got slapped again and this time, It was harder than before.
Before she could look up to know what was going on, She was thrown to the rugged floor.
“Let me go!” She screamed but he held her mouth and sat on her while ripping her clothes off
“Help!!” She screamed immediately, she bit him.
“I’ll kîll you if you don’t keep quiet!” He took his hand up to hit her and she quietened up.
“Good…” He smiled.
As she felt his cold hands slide underneath, hot tears slipped down her eyes.

Rowen eye lids flung open quickly when he heard angry loud knocks.
He glanced at the wall clock which stated it was 11:39pm.
“Lucy?” He Mõ@ned out and stood from the sofa.
He walked to the door and opened it.
“Babe? What’s up? You said you would be coming earlier. Was it the traffic or some medical practice that held you back? d@mn…You reek of alcohol. Did you drink?” He asked, widening his eyes.
Lucy scoffed.
“Why do you care? He calls me babe and wife when he doesn’t mean it”
She left his side.
“And who said I didn’t care? Who said I didn’t mean it? Lucy…You know I love you so much and I care about your welfare” He turned to her and she stopped walking.
Lucy rubbed her red, sad face.
“So,,,,Why…Why!!!” She screamed, exhaustedly.
“Why…Why what?” He whispered.
Lucy looked at him and shook her head.
“No…Its fine”
“Its not fine” Rowen said and walked closer to her.
“Tell me,,, why did you drink? What happened?” He asked.
“Is Darren asleep already?” She said, trying to close the chapter.
She turned away but Rowen gripped her arm.
“I…need to know the welfare of my wife. I know you’ll be scared to drink again after the last Incident. What ever gave you the spirit to drink again? What’s wrong, Lucy? He persisted, calmly.
Lucy eyes let out tears immediately.
“Why…did you have to remember me?” She whispered and turned to him.
“Huh?” He whispered.
“You mean,,, the incident?” He asked.
She gasped and took her arm off his grip.
“I want us to forget that f*vking incident! Please!!! It never happened, okay!!” She shouted.
“Sshh…Darren might wake and think we are quarreling and I’m sorry. I won’t talk about the incident or make you remember it anymore. I’m sorry”
Lucy took her face away.
“I’m going to bed”
“Won’t you shower? I made dinner in case” He said, walking behind her.
“Rowen?” She called, not turning to face him.
Rowen stared at her back.
“Yes,,, baby?” He answered.
“Do you love me?” She asked.
“Yes. Yes. I do love you. I love you so much, Lucy. But…why the question,,, out of the blue?”
Lucy sniffed, and wiped her tears with the back of her palm.
“If you love me,,, Let me have the bed alone for only tonight”
“What? Okay…That was off” He chuckled, softly.
“I…wanna be alone” She whispered and walked away without sparing him a glance.
