JENNIFER.How can I be sure I will be happy with him for the rest of my life? I snapped back at my father," If I had known that this was the reason you wanted me so urgently I wouldn't have come" I blurted out, upon hearing the devastating news my father welcomed me with.Dad, I need answers, you can't keep me in the dark forever! What do you mean I should prepare myself to tie the knot with Mr Davidson's son? "every marriage is arranged, some by destiny, some by chance, some by a clash of common interests and some by the parents and family Daddy replied, as I looked at him with my mouth agape.Enraged with furry and dispair I ran upstairs, slammed the door and fell on my bed, crying and wishing this was just a dream, as I lay there my thoughts took me to Brian the love of my life, who has been working his tail off, so we can start a family together.As those strenuous thoughts ran through my mind, my father knocked and entered the "Child, put yourself together" He looked at me, hi
JENNIFER.I blinked multiple times, trying to hold back tears from falling, lastly, the tears seemed to have won the fight, Mary was the first person I got in contact with after my big altercation with my father.she is always my go-to person, in similar situations like this, because this particular situation right now is far too beyond me.Mary was as heartbroken as I was upon hearing the sad news of my engagement, I watched her listen to my complaints with kin interests and a sense of self-pity. I know she felt the way I feel, only that I was the one who was getting married to an arrogant, son of a billionaire whose in-depth personal details I couldn't find online." Is Brian aware? She sniped at me, obviously annoyed "No, Not yet, I snapped back. Mary has always got Brian back, first for the fact I met Brian through Mary and second, they are cousins." this is not good" she mutters. as she sips through her chilled pina colada."We are not in the stone age, he can't just ship you of
LARRYForcing a smile was the least I could do in this present situation, all my thoughts were fixated on Sammy. Jennifer was no doubt a stunning young lady, she had a young vibrant aura, her voluptuous behind would leave any young able-bodied man yearning, and her curvaceous body was a sight to behold my dad had failed to realize. I'm not attracted to the female gender. he can't understand the dynamic of being gay. When he offers me this bargain, he leaves me no choice but to marry the daughter of his rival company for his selfish gain so that Sammy's life can be spared.Putting my attention on my cell phone was a way to block off the awkward air within us, neither of us knew what we were doing, I knew when I looked at her across my phone.All I can think of was the welfare of Sammy, he was left unconscious after he was beaten to a pulp by Daddy's minions, Sammy's mum had called when I was about this enter the restaurant, hence, my change in mood, I never forgive Dad, if anything hap
Jennifer Months have passed since my surprise pregnancy discovery, and I decided to conceal the paternity of the child, I'm just a little bit selfish, but I will do anything to ensure that the future of my unborn child is safe.Making Mary swear an oat of secrecy was the only smart move because I have known Mary to be a chatter box, She is always loyal to her friends and loved ones, I know I made her choose between me and her favorite cousin, I was left with no choice, yet I know that deep inside me my little secret will not be a hidden forever.With my plan in motion, I hurried up our marriage preparation, so that there would be no iota of disparity between the duration of the baby's birth and the time of marriage.Soon after the hurried marriage, another hurdle for me, my newly wedded husband decided to ball out on me, he practically disappeared on the night of our marriage, no God knows where.We are here in Maldives for our honeymoon, but it's so far from the honeymoon, this is h
LARRY.Jennifer has a body no man can resist, her cascading lush long hair sits on her head like a golden stream, and her feminine curves placed at the right spot on her body make her exude self-confidence, I'm no child to sense that she was trying to give me an offer no man can refuse ' her body'.She is a pro in the act of seduction. Being a heterosexual male, I can't seem to ignore the fuming fire going on inside me, which Jennifer has successfully ignited.Like a warrior on a mission, she seems to have a hidden agenda, right there, I knew her intentions weren't noble, I could sense it, in every fiber of my body. I can't quite put my fingers on it.Like a dog, who won't resist the temptation when he sees a bone, so was I, deep down I knew I was playing with fire, and at this point, I wouldn't mind if I got burnt.This unfamiliar act of hers evokes the manly desires in me, trying to ignore the sultry sweetness of her voice proved to be such a daunting
JENNIFER.To say I was filled with guilt would be an understatement, I was mad at myself, I didn't know why, and couldn't understand how on earth Brian put himself in such a vulnerable situation.How Brian had known our honeymoon location seemed to be a misery.I stood and watched in fear as the doctor and nurses tried all they could to stabilize Larry.I placed a call over to Mary, but I wasn't expecting her outburst."what do you want" Freak?" Mary sounded so pissed over the phone" I'm sorry Mary, I never intend for all of this to happen" I answered with the most calming voice I can muster." Please hear me out" I begged." Hear you out? My cousin is in jail because of you, what is your excuse? Tell me I'm all ears" She said.My mind raced back to Brian, guilt filled me as I couldn't stop thinking I was the one that caused all this, I secretly wished Brian could understand the reason behind why I did what I did."Doctor please what, will he make it?" I trembled as managed to ask the do
JENNIFER Something seems a little bit off about Sammy, who is he? I thought to myself. I couldn't quite picture his face, how is it that this is my first time hearing about Sammy. For I know well enough that I didn't see this face at the wedding.I know these past few weeks after the marriage have been tough, we had not built a solid relationship for getting to know our friends, even though he knows mine, and did he keep the one hidden from me?How come he is now the best friend I never knew of, where was he all this while, how come he is only coming into the picture now?I for one know that this Sammy of a guy means no good, his intentions aren't pure. Something isn't right, He looks fishy.Looking at them now as I sat down at the corner each engrossed in the other conversation, there seemed to be a genuine chemistry going on within them, a spark in their body chemistry that I just quite placed my fingers on it.Seeing them gisting and laughing at each oth
LARRY.It's been two weeks since the gunshot incident happened, pleasing and displeasing myself has always been the bane of my existence, just to please the man I call my father.Father has never made it easier for me, always comparing me with kids of the same age bracket. Since childhood I always wanted to be a chef, I love cooking and I still do, but Daddy has a way of doing things.It's like he held me in a chokehold, always wanting to do his biddingEven now as a grown adult, he compares me with his friends’ children who are doing well in various areas of the business world."Larry, look at Donald, look at what his father told me he did today" he always nags me every day when he comes to pick me up from school which he seldom does.He wanted my life a different way the way that I wanted it, he sent me off to a boarding school even when I told him I wanted to be with my friends at Greenfields Junior High.Leaving Greenfield Junior High dealt a hug
LARRY.I couldn't help myself but feel bad about the way I treated her, she was just a victim of pure circumstance.Just the way I was a victim of bullying in high school, I might have gotten my justice, but she will never get the justice she deserves.First, because she was sold to the highest bidder by her father, secondly people like my dad loved to see peasants beg for Mercy, he loves showing his supremacy.I had it in the back of my mind to apologize for my recent outburst. The presence of that evil man I call Dad makes me do the unthinkable sometimes. It was a result of the devil in the room, my father.I know he wouldn't react or try to fight because of my bride present in the room, I hate hate hate that man, I can't even pretend to be in the same room with himI was startled out of my deep thoughts at the creaking of the door, there she was, as gently as a dove. I'm now more convinced that I have been a jerk.“How are you doing Mr Davidson”, she said with the most calming voi
Jennifer.Now I have started doubting my sanity on why I am following a grumpy old lady home, we have passed this single alley three times in a row. I cuss under my breath as I start to second-guess my conscious mind. I’m losing it, this is the height of it all.The old lady turned back and looked at me as if knowing what I had been thinking.” I know you think I'm crazy” the old lady shouted a little bit slowly “I'm the one who is crazy, for trying to follow a crazy old lady home” I said, gasping for air, as I felt a little unsettling at the bottom of my stomach.I became so overcome by the sudden nausea that I almost threw out my stomach content on the old woman's face.Just to the surprise of the drunk old lady “ I hope this is not what I'm thinking” the old lady said, trying to hide a mocking tune of laughter in her voice.“That is none of your business,” I said, wiping my mouth with the back of my hands trying to regain my composure.“You are even dumber than I thought you would b
JENNIFERI was laid back by the old lady's single statement “What could she know?” I thought she was probably just trying to milk me off because of my present physical state, with my rough denemor Anyone with half a brain wound sense that I'm passing through a lot.“Old lady, if you need a drink you simply ask for it, I might be moved by your plea to buy you a bottle or two, trying to cajole me with lies about what you know or not won't work at this point,” I said with an air of finality while I try to get off from the stool I sat on.I paid for my shot, taking a closer look at the lady. She looked like she frequented the bar very often, and probably knew one or two about the occupants of the estates.“What do you know old lady, I might pay for your drinks you know?” I turned back at the lady whose chapped lips had tasted years of penury.She adjusted her sit and beckoned at me to come sit down on the stool beside her the one I just got up from. I reluctantly sat down again “Well, wha
LARRY. Feeling defeated, mad, and weak, I turned to look at the teacher, “I'm sorry lad, there is nothing I can do, Paul’s parents are rich, they are part of the PTA board and their unanimous yearly donation goes a long way in running this institution of learning”.“Penalizing his son will automatically mean bye-bye to his father's huge donations to the school and we can't afford to lose it,” she said, adjusting her buttock back to her sit, placed her hands on the table, she took a pen from a couple of pens from the pen holder and scribble something down on a piece of paper“ Take it,” she said, “give it to the school nurse in the sick bay, while at it don't dare open” She handed the white sheet of paper down to me “You will be fine,” She said.Walking the narrow corridor leading to the sick bay, I was tempted to open and see the content of the pieces of paper he scribbled on.I looked back and forth, seeing that I was the only one alone, I opened the
LARRY.Now cornered and outnumbered, I lay on the floor, feeling defeated, I sluggishly stood up and followed the trio to the old abandoned school blood on the right side of the school.This place has not been used for years and is a breeding ground for all sorts of immoral and illicit affairs from the students. The school authority does not care less.They have feigned ignorance about anything going on at the old block even when issues of rape and alcoholism and all the vices you can think of have been reported there constantly.All they did was issue a warning to all the students, especially the new intake not to ever go close to the premises, as it is the venue for the bad eggs among the students to perpetuate their evil acts.Even though I have heard so many horrible stories about this building, I was taken aback by how neat it was, I was expecting everywhere to be a shithole.I looked back, trying to figure out a mature way to oust myself of this sit
