After a few hours talking to Alvin, we got back into the house and still met the atmosphere chocked.
Mom's glared at me with so much hate in her eyes, Tori gets up to leave, "hold on, can we talk?'.
The sound of my voice pinned her down to a spot, she says, "we have nothing to talk about". ( Avoids my glare).
Heeding her hurtful statement, I took a few steps closer, and weaved her to my attention," please sister!!! Can we talk?"
( Continued talking)
I'm sorry for everything, that happened!!! And to show how much I regret my actions, I'll get you married to Jason In a month, please don't say no"
( Waits to see hear response)
"What!! Did you just say?". Tori asks to return my words, and the second I did, mom veers me to her side, "please don't tell me you're joking?". She says.
I swiftly disapproved of her idea and weakly smiled my words out.
"No!! I'm not joking mom and yes!! Jason i
A MONTH LATERIt's been a month and every attempt to get Jason exposed, backfired, to a point that, I have a few days in getting Tori married to him, how do I stop the wedding?."Lisa!"Alvin strolls in with a glass in his hand, "what's going on? I asked and he said, "I just overheard Jason's conversation with someone on the phone and somehow I feel it's Mr. Ajay he's talking with ". Alvin explains to me.A spark of curiosity dropped over my face, I jagged up from the bed and let out, "so what are we waiting for?". I said eager to obtain his contents to his conversation, rather Alvin nudged me back, "hold on miss firefighter and let's not forget that Jason's waiting for us to make a mistake". He declined my statement when Tori Walked in, "Is everything okay?" She asks obliviously to the fact that Jason's truth.Alvin put on a calm posture and dragged me closer to him, "yes dear!! But tell me, why are you here
Hearts 🔥 (1)3night beforeThe night is still young, says the alcoholic beverage in my hand as I danced my night away only to awaken and behold myself in a hotel, naked and sleeping beside me was a man, out of fear and disbelief I tiptoed my way out of the room and the moment I closed the door from behind, I ran out of the hotel like a lunatic, thankfully I won't be seeing him anymore, or so I thought?".Present-day.....God as a way of making us pay for our sins, one way or the other, I thought I won't be seeing the man at the hotel three nights ago but surprised he was a business partner to my very own father, "Leonard heart". And if my father gets to find out the crazy escapade I made with his business associate, he's going to cut off my head with a flipping chainsaw. (Shuddering breathing)."Good morning mom". I veered closer and pined a kiss on her cheeks, mom turns to me and
Hearts 🔥(2)"Oh! Thank God, Are you okay".Dad asked tori as she responds to him donning a weak smile.Eventually, I left, seeing my presence there wasn't needed, Tori watched me and afterward came in to meet me."Are you okay sis?" She asked, veering my attention towards her, "I am okay" I had to make sure she believes that by wearing a huge smile on, but Tori was no child anymore, she pulls a step backward and tried to read the representation on my face "Hmm, okay!! I'll believe you but don't mind dad, he wants the best for us both". She lets out softly to me.My sister has always been the Daddy's Little girl, and mom's little princess, whereas I was good for nothing, partying diva, who got absolutely nothing to do with her life, so my parents think.Not once have they asked me about my dreams, goals, ambitions, I don't even think, they still remember the
Heart 🔥(3)mom fell unconscious the second she heard the news, we all rushed and pulled her up from the ground, moments later, after the doctor left, we waited for her to regain consciousness and when she did, her eyes falls on us.Tori leaves the house being emotional, I know it hurts that father is no more but we had got to stay strong as a family, and I know father will be happy with that.I rushed out of the house and saw Tori crying, as much as I would love to cry my eyes out, I just can't, because if we all start crying, who will console each other?".My feet veered closer and I rested my hand on her back immediately gaining her attention, she tries to hid the fact that she cried, cleaning up the tears from her eyes."Yes sis, why are you here?" She smiles at me, and I know a happy smile when I see one."I am here because, I wanted to check up on you!". I answered
Hearts 🔥I noted on his face that he seemed serious about the whole proposition, wonder what he wants to tell me?."What preposition, Alvin?". I asked idling to hear his explanation, so he says, "I want us to get married!"."Wait what?". I Veered a step back listening to him, it feels like Alvin had forgotten that I cannot stand him at all, he has this way for bringing the worst in, in short, he's annoying."Look, Lisa, let me explain to us".Like a wolf taking notice of his prey and when to strick, I listened to him, Alvin weaves his mouth open and blatantly sum up everything as it was an obligated marriage to him, that he gets married to me within six months and gets his inheritance, then within the slated month to together, he pays off the loan amount father took, before he died.That wasn't a bad idea, after listening
When I told him, I needed time to think, it passed through his ears and out the other."Look, mom, Alvin told me everything but I don't think I'll be marrying him". I answered back."Why?" Tori butt into the conversationA flabbergasted glare draped around my face the moment she lets out to me, it's as if they don't recall anymore that I cannot stand Alvin, and marrying him is something I haven't even given my consent to, minus the fact his offer is tempting.(Inaudible conversation)THE FOLLOWING MorningAfter getting dressed, I walked downstairs to the living room and walked in on, a man holding a briefcase in his hand.Tori walked behind and took notice of him as well, "who is he"? She asked as we both walked further attaining his attention."Good morning sir! How may I be of help to you?"
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
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
