Azariah's Last Bride

I sat in the taxi watching how the rain dripped down the window, places were really could and I regret not having brought a pullover. In fact, meteo seemed to be useless this morning as it promised sun today, and now this, heavy storms and stuff like that. Relaxing my head on the leather Of the taxi, I tried to think about my life.At twenty-three, I had an average education and completed school before dad passed away. I have deep black hair__ like night, and I inherited it from mom, just that it was curly. My rich hair was my pride and I styled it in all directions I could ever think about. Apart from my curly thick hair, my pride was my face, it shone brightly always, and I had a bright smile, as my gap tooth always exposed whenever I did so. My face today was grim, in fact, ever since I had a kidney issue, I had not found reasons to smile. Humor for me was always a difficult task, especially with the excruciating pain that always sliced acros

There was nothing inside the bag and the next thing I heard was a bang on my face. The driver had slapped me, it was a mighty and terrible slap that had hit my face like a thunderbolt. If not for anything in this life, the pain I had received is just so excruciating. The slap had touched the right section of my face hitting my eye, my cheek, and the rings on his fingers had succeeded in splitting my cheek. "Ahhhhh! Aghhhh!" I cried out in pain. My sharp voice was enough to bring people out of the house. Actually, a very huge and might man could be seen stepping out of the house. His broad features made me scared, especially as he had a stern look. Behind him, there were two kids that lured their way through the main door too. "Lady, you will pay me my money if not I'll give you the beating of my life," he said dragging my bag away from my hands as he pushed me towards the ground. "Sir, Sir, pleas

Looking at the man that stood before me, he kind of had this reserved anger. I wonder why he would help me, a lady he does not even know. "I am so sorry, this had to happen, I mean, I didn't plan to forget my purse at home, I mean, all these things just happened abruptly," I ranted. I didn't care if he listened to me or not, I just wanted to prove myself fit to be the mother of his children, at least, if he says no, he can pay me for the time wasted. I thought to myself. The tall, huge man that stood in front of me just raised a brow at me, as if he couldn't comprehend what I was saying. Trying to convince him that I am not what he thinks I am by just deducing some silly facts from the scene that just happened, I let out, "Please, I am sorry about what happened, I pray you find a place in your heart to forgive me. I will return home right now, and before it's dusk, I will show up here with some money ready to pay you. I promise,

I stared at Mf. Azariah with bright eyes, at first, did not seem to understand why I was on the ground, but suddenly, realization seemed to dawn on me. "Am I the one or did I just catch you eavesdropping?" he shot raising a brow while eyeing me. Scrambling on the ground, I found it difficult to stand, so I contented myself with the position I was on the floor. "Wait, Mr. Azariah, I can explain," I said trying to form words that didn't finally leave my mouth. At last, I just succeeded in saying something foolish, my words have made him gain interest in what I just said. Entering the room fully, Mr. Azariah made sure he closed the door gently behind him, before leaning in it. Crossing his legs at the angle level, he shot me that terrible look before whispering to me, "Go on, explain, I am listening," he explained. Instantly, I became mute, I could not imagine what I was expected to say, but then, I

BECKY'S P.O.VI glared at the man that stood in front of me, his face a mask of confined emotions, I noticed that he did a lot of thinking, but then, I wasn't the least concerned, and I didn't make it my priority. Deep in me, I knew I wanted to wait and talk to this man, he didn't look the least ugly, rather, he is so attractive. Blinking severally to keep my head out of the water, especially as I risked drowning into his shady heart, I wanted to clarify something. "What will happen if I? does it mean you will marry me then?" I asked raising a brow as I looked at him. His reply was harsh, and as it pierced my soul, I wondered if everything was going to be okay with me. "Don't sound desperate, lady, like I earlier said, I wouldn't marry you even if it happens to be that you are the last lady standing waiting to be mine," he spat directly into my face. All my five senses sprouted out into many different direction
