I had two options, it was either, I get married to Alvin or have my family on the streets and homeless, thus after weighing my options, I went with the first, by giving in to the demands of my mom, "fine!! I'll get married to Alvin and save the legacy of my father,".
My words made mom happy, Tori rushed out and hugged me after paying heed to our conversation, somehow I felt that my life was going to change drastically, only time will tell, how it will.
The same day, mom called Alvin home after informing him about my decision, he strolls in holding a piece of documents in his hands, ambling close to us.
"Good evening auntie" he greets mom and veers to Tori donning a weak smile, "good evening tori, how are you?" He asked taking notice of my presence behind.
"Hello, beautiful!" He smiles lovingly at me, mom noticed what happened and signaled I reciprocate his greets as well, "hello Alvin" I turned my eyes away from his.
Alvin Smudge a smile on, pulled out the documents over to me, and said, "please read and let's finalize everything".
I ran through the entire words in the documents, thus when my eyes got through the last words, I lifted my head, "wait! We would be married for six months?".
"Yes! Six months, so, starting from tomorrow, we would be getting prepared for our wedding, and please I beg you, don't try to do anything stupid okay". He adds for my response.
"Idiot!!" That was my head talking but my mouth said a different thing, "okay!!! No problem.
Before a twinkle of an eye, the following morning, Alvin took care of the pending issues on the ground, dad's debts got cleared off and now, it was left for the wedding profession to begin.
The same day, I got a call from my soon-to-be husband, he says and quote, "come meet me at Liza's coffee shop, I have something for you?" And cuts the call without a single goodbye for me, it's not as if, I am complaining but, it's rude.
So, after a stroll around, a walk into the coffee shop, it was a few blocks away from home.
"Hey!!! Miss danger!" He gains my attention by yelling out a weird name, thus, I stepped further like an angry bird and said, "excuse me! Did you just call me miss danger? Do I look dangerous to you?" I inquired, basically demonstrating how angry I was.
Alvin quietly watched and wore a funny look at me, it felt like he was enjoying seeing me in such a way, he stared quietly and underneath brought out a package and tossed it to me.
"What's this?" I pulled down my eyes to check, yet he still maintained his gaze on me.
The content of the package was a document, and not just any documents, a power of attorney, which states that I am the legal owner of everything father owned.
"Now! You can stop venting your answer on me!". He giggled out his word and left after paying for the coffee, he ordered.
The second I got back to my senses, he had already left, did I misunderstand who Mr. Alvin Fisher is? Or is he trying to buy my truth just because of the situation on the ground?.
{Back home}
I got back home and walked in on my father's younger sister at home, aunt Marietta, she was the closest to dad, when he was alive and to me.
"Good evening auntie"
She gained her attention to me donning a gloomy look.
Baby, how are you feeling! I am sorry for not coming soon earlier, I just found out what happened". She hugged me maintaining the same gloomy look on.Mom walks out of the kitchen and saw I have finally returned home, she shoots me a weak smile and veers her head toward auntie."Here's a glass of water, take it".Aunt Marrietta takes the cup and gulped down the cold water brought in my mom, she buffed out a deep breath and sat down on the couch.We all sat and waited for her to regain her lost strength, she buffed out a deep breath and veered trying to force a smile.I know deep down, aunt was hurting inside, and so were we, losing dad as not only changed everyone's life to mostly mine, I went from miss party Queen diva to miss I just lost my dad, head placed down to earth, trying to help her family kind of girl, indeed it was the only option that urged me to even think of getting marrie
Aunt and I shared a moment, but everything seems to weeder, when Tori walks in and Informed me that my attention was needed.We both walked out to the living room and took notice of a young lady staring profoundly at me, she tries to walks closer but mom drags her back."Hello! Liza heart, I have been wanting to speak with you!" The strange lady let's out to me.I veered closer donning a weird look, "who are you? I asked."My name is Carol and I would like to speak with you in private please!". She loomed her eyes around and I sensed she didn't want anyone to hear our conversation.Mom disapproved of her idea, but I was much curious about what Carol wished to speak with me about, I ran a weak smile and strolled out of the house with her.We walked a further and when she noticed we weren't being followed, I veered donning a straight face.
Alvin acted like the perfect gentleman in front of the journalists, he maintained his smile and continued dancing.After a while, we returned to the party!! He took me by my hands as we walked close to a man and a woman who veered back donning a smile."Hello, son!!! Who Is she?" The woman asked still smiling.Alvin shoots me a weak smile, held me tightly, and said, "actually mom, the lady here, is my fiancee". He says, as the glass from his mom's hands dropped down and scattered around."What!!! Is this a silly joke, Alvin because If it is, I'll beat you to a pulp".He veers and falls his attention to the man standing beside his mom, thus I figured if the woman is his mom, the man must be his father."Oh please dad!!! Don't try to scare me in front of the woman I love, and before you say anything, yes!! Miss Lisa heart is going to be my wif
The atmosphere changed, Mr. Ajay pulls out a stool and sat down, his eyes still diced on mine, he proceeds again, "now, how about we play a game, you tell me who you are and I tell you what and why all this is happening, no one gets hurts, we all leave happy.A curious look draped over my face, what the heck does he mean by such words, "look, Mr. Ajay, my name is Lisa and I am Alvin's fiancee". I affirmed to him, rather he shook his head and disproved, weaving a buzzer sound."Wrong answer, Missy!!! Now let's try this again, who are you, tell me the truth and if you try to lie to me the second time, I'll make sure that your family gets the result of your foolish decision!". He says still maintaining the same look at me.It finally came to me that he wanted to know the real truth and not the made-up one, thus I opened my mouth and said, "my name is Liza heart and I am the daughter to late Leonard and Alvin contracte
Somehow I managed to get myself free, I strolled out and found out, I was still at the mansion but was kept at bays length, you can say, it was a little cabin built separately from the mansion, luckily Alvin rushed out and sighted me from a far distance."Lisa!!" He attained my attention and ran to me. "What are you doing here!! I have been looking for you, I even thought you were kidnapped!!" He recedes donning a relief look on his face, if only he knew I was kidnapped by his very own stepfather."Am sorry!! I thought of having a stroll around the house, so I walked and found myself here!!".(I lied to him)Alvin shoots me a weak smile trying to read the interpretation I had on, receding with his words, "okay!! But next time, tell me before going anywhere, I don't want anything happening to you".A weak smile smudge on, "you do know I can take care of myself, I am a grown-as
I walked in and saw Tori peeking at the window, she immediately veers the second her eyes fall on me, "hmm!!! Young lady, ain't you supposed to be sleeping?" I donned a stitch fix at her.Tori retained her eyes to me and said, "yes but I was only waiting for your return" she says feeling enthusiastic to hear me speak."Really!!! Why? You do know, it's light's our after ten " I walked up to my room as she rushed in maintaining the curious look on her face."Yes sir, but tell me!!! What happened at the party, and don't you even think of kicking me out not without telling spilling the beans".Tori pulls me and sits me down on the bed, waiting to see my reaction.(After a few minutes of silence I finally spoke out to her hearing).(Inaudible conversation)"You see, that all that happened" I muttered after telling the entire truth to her, Tori p
He moaned softly curly his eyes at me, and he scanned thoroughly, retorting back, "I don't think you need to change, because wearing this will make you stand out".I got up and jump down like a bouncer, "what do you mean by that, do I look like a clown?" I pushed for a response, as he veered a few steps away from me."No!!" He dons a charming smile at me, which got me jilted, "why don't you get dressed miss trouble, and please make yourself pretty, besides your going to be my wife" (still maintaining that smile, he walked out of the room).(An hour later)Alvin paced around in the living room, constantly yelling out my name, mom turns to inquire what's taking me so long but halts the second I strolled out of the room."Urgh!! Thank God, are you always, this late for occasions, and please don't tell me you forgot to apply another set of eyeliner". (Sarcasm).&nb
Ajay frowns at my statement, "do I have to spell everything out for you?" He wears an odd look on his countenance."Yes, yes, you do, but why do I have this feeling like you want me to poison someone?".I took a step backward trying to hold in my smiles, Mr. Ajay pulls a step closer and affirmed my words "yes, you are right, I want you to poison your soon-to-be-fake mother law".(Spurned at his statement)"Wait!! What, position Alvin's mom, no way, am I doing such a thing".I declined his offer, attempting to leave, rather he dragged me back and weaved out a warning, "don't you think of messing with me child!!! And you just an hour to go over there and do my bidding". (Pushed me and walked out after offering me a glass of two bubbly glasses of wine in my hands).Out of burden, I walked over to Alvin's mom, my hands were trembling, I don't th
