A Contract Marriage With The Billionaire’s Mad Son The Father Figure
I pulled out my fingers from her grip, “Leave my chamber this minute!” I beamed and pointed at the door. Promptly, warm tears welled up my frail eyes and trickled down my cheeks.Salsa understood the fate I was going through and so there was no iota of anger in her. Ordinarily, Salsa would have frowned, rolled her eyes at me and walked away, but she stood her ground despite yelling at her.She smiled hugely and said, “Whatever may be your problem, I just want you to know that most times true love comes in the guise of scare, hate and mishap. This young man could be the man destined for you…”I yelled, “Do you realize I am still Brian’s wife, a contract wife with a mandatory obligation to fulfill? Do you realize I am carrying Brian’s twin babies?”“The contract has elapsed. It is time to have a walk. The Fanny's are losing it. They want you to accept the divorce, since there have no need of you again.” Salsa said.“They?” I asked, “It is only Opula and Kate that want the divorce. Fanny

When I came out of my room, I saw Fanny having a quiet time as he relaxed to his drink at the bar; he was all alone; it was obvious this oldie was possessed with a heavy thought about burying Brian.Come to think of it what on earth would make Fanny take such a decision all of a sudden?”“Oh my goose!” I said in my mind, “What is happening? Why would Fanny want to bury Brian? Is Brian dead? Or could he be dead and he doesn’t want me to know about it?” I asked within myself, as my eyes were about to be welled up with tears.I sniffed heavily, daring to fight back tears to avoid Fanny suspecting me of knowing about the secret burial. I also had my personal plans to stop them from burying the only man I had come to adore.Once Fanny caught sight of me, he gestured at me to come over. I forced a smile, just to inform him all was well with me. He was all smiles too, perhaps thinking I didn’t know what he and the girls planned to do tonight.“Good evening father,” I greeted him, still perch

Fanny Luis, Eva, Opula and Kate were all seated at the rear of the limousine as they drove to the hospital at a late hour. Among them, it was only Eva that was most devastated. Although Fanny kept fighting back tears with the cold beer which he sipped regularly, Eva wailed the most.Kate was only all frown and Opula managed to pet Fanny by snatching the beer from him whenever he seemed to have drunk much of it.Eva sat at the edge, as she wailed into her palms; she didn’t want to have anybody in contact with her sisters.Before they left the villa for the hospital, Kate and Opula engaged her in a quarrel over Brian’s obituary being announced on every media channel.“Father, that will not happen. The families of the deceased must first confirm that Brian is dead before any obituary post is made!” Eva had protested.Kate had yelled at her, “You are such a silly bastard! What then are we delaying for? Brian has been confirmed dead by the hospital management. Obviously, an obituary should

At the time, neither Fanny could pet me nor Eva perk me up. Everyone, except Opula and Kate, was emotionally crushed and locked in pain. I had been singing Brian’s favorite song for God-knows-when. I knew the Fanny's would be shocked to see me in such mood but I needed to bid the father of my twins a farewell. I wouldn’t be seeing Brian again and after now, I would be eager to accept the divorce and continue my life; with the twins in my womb, Brian would always remain close to my heart.This song had not been coming from my lips but from my heart.Provoked by my sonorous voice and impatience to entertain my feckless show of affection, Opula ordered the nurses, “Please nurses, we don’t have any more time for this senseless song,” she sounded and shot her ferocious eyes at me, which housed fire and brimstone.Kate supported her, “Do you realize it is just past eleven? We don’t have time anymore. Please, nurses, doctor, take away this unwanted musician that is making a noise so that we

Opula and Kate were well seated at the doctor’s office after five days of Brian’s return to life. Opula dug her hands into her briefcase and pulled out bundles of dollars and placed them on the doctor’s table, before winking at him.“Do you need more money?” she asked and brought out more bundles.“What is this? Why are you doing this?” the doctor nagged, “Please take this away. There is a camera. This is unethical. Take away the cash. I don’t…”Opula interposed him, “Keep shut, doctor. Maybe you need more money before you can carry out a simple task,” she paused, glanced around for any onlooker before she whispered, “Is Brian supposed to be alive. I thought we paid you handsomely to eliminate him finally. What is happening? What did you do?”The doctor’s jaw clenched as he glanced around, leaned forward and said, “Please take away the cash. If I must say anything, the money must not be on my table,” he beamed.Kate replied him, “I see you are not ready to talk. You may have to start

“Take away the food. I am not hungry,” That was the sound of my repelling voice which rang from wall to wall when Salsa walked in with my dinner.With the tray of food firmly held, Salsa dragged a disturbed brow, sucked a tooth and sighed. She dropped the food anyway and started dishing out.“Salsa!” I called arrogantly, “Are you deaf?” I queried, “Take away the food. I am not hungry!” I barked and transferred my aggression on her immediately.Her jaw went slack as she stood in exaggerated shock, “Please, Melissa, you have missed food for two days now. Do you realize you are carrying his twins?” she whispered and glared around before saying, “Let’s be grateful to God he is still alive.”Salsa lowered her gaze, recalling what she heard Opula and Kate discuss with the doctor at the hospital, about their plans to eliminate Brian totally. It was actually one of her reasons for bringing dinner for Melissa to her chamber.“If I hadn’t gone to the hospital to be with Brian, they would have b

When Salsa got a phone call from Rod, she thought he was waiting for her at a nearby café, not until she came to Rio’s airport and saw Rod with his security and aides standing next to a private jet.Salsa gagged her mouth in surprise when she met with Rod, “Welcome to Rio Hondo once again, Rod. I can’t believe you came in a private jet just to see Melissa?”Rod was all smiles as he said, “Thank you, Salsa. Each time I find myself in Rio Hondo, I wish I could return home with my wife, Melissa, but she keeps repelling my admiration.” He beckoned to Salsa, “Do you mind joining me in my private jet?”Hastily Salsa shook her head, “Yes, of course I am willing to get on your jet. This will be my first time to get on a jet.” She said and covetously looked at Rod, wishing she could be his.The security led her into the cabin and Salsa sat down with Rod, while the security fetched wine and cupcakes.“Thank you for giving me the privilege to get on a private jet for the first time.” She smiled

All eyes fell on me once I cheered up and sniffed heavily. Already the police men had entered the hospital and advanced towards us with an investigative countenance and scowled faces which struck us with silence and suspicion.“Why is police in my hospital?” doctor bill queried anxiously and settled his suspicious gaze on me, “I can’t recall inviting the police to my hospital. Who could have invited the police?”There was a hush of silence when the police detective surged closer and queried everyone with his scarcely familiar look which had so much gloom.“Good evening, doctor,” the detective greeted warmly and shot his dark eyes at us, “We got an urgent phone call from this hospital. The voice couldn’t speak out but we traced the phone call to this hospital. The police detective said to Doctor Bill with so much expectation for an explanation, “Perhaps you may know who did.”“I did, detective,” my voice sounded with an iota of confidence and conviction, “I made the phone call to you b

The doctor spoke so loudly, obviously making a noise to attract attention and Opula gestured at him to bring down the tone of his voice.“You know someone could be listening to us,” Opula whispered, “Please, take things calmly. You must not make a noise about it. But I have told you the forty percent is not going to be possible. Why would you demand I pay you forty percent of a contract you know nothing about…”Doctor Bernard burst into a mocking laughter and grinned afterward, “Oh do you think I know nothing about it? Is that what you think? I am going to tell you what I know about it. The Bensons want Melissa as an arranged wife but your greed wouldn’t rest, you forced yourself on your ex-boyfriend, Rod thinking he will get you pregnant but unfortunately this pregnancy belongs to Ken,”Kate was still eavesdropping at the door at the time, Doctor Bernard made that statement.

When Kate barged in on Opula, she met her sobbing and weeping in her palms. She was red on the face and the color drained from her face; it was obvious Opula had been weeping all night.“Oh my goose!” Kate exclaimed and paced to the side of Opula and clutched her teary chin, “What happened to you again? Why are you all tears? The day is too early for this, Opula,” Kate petted her and caught sight of the picture on the bed and when she picked it up, it was rod’s picture, “Is it because of Rod Benson? What did he say to you again?”Opula swallowed hard, sobbed even greatly and managed to say, “He has refused to pick my phone calls ever since he rejected the pregnancy.

“MELISSA!” she called, her body shivering, the fierceness of her face threatening as she molded her fist, “What are you doing here? Are you supposed to be here at this time?” she asked, her hands trembling.I hummed and quoted, “Because the bird has learnt to fly without perching, the hunters have learnt to shoot without missing. I knew you were up to ruin. A leopard cannot lose its spot. So this is it mom. You demanded to know the ON and OFF knob so that you could sneak in and turn off the oxygen machine and suffocate Brian?

I really want to have you back as my daughter but you must be set free from this evil marriage. He has to die.”I advanced forward and replied her, “You got to be bluffing, huh. My husband?

Something must be happening to my husband,” I said to myself, gasped, stroked my hair confusedly and picked up my phone to call the doctor…***Seated in front of the police detective were Fanny, Opula and Kate. While they spoke, the police scribbled down vital information on a paper, with keenness in his eyes.“The total sum of money is one million dollars,” Fanny said in a baritone voice, “I believe the money is somewhere in my villa, obviously in one or two chambers. I really want you and your boys to fish out and punish anyone found guilty of stealing the money.”The police detective winked after scribbling down some more information from Fanny, “Um, Mr. Fanny, this one million dollars in question was it stolen from your company, the Fanny Group or from the villa? Because you made mention of the money was
