Damien opened the door to his father's ward and entered the room which his father was in. Inside the room he saw his father laying on the bed with some tube-like stuff connected to some parts of his body and his mom sitting besides him on a chair her eyes were also red from all the crying she must have done earlier before he came.He went besides his mom and asked if she was alright, after getting a positive answer from her, he went over to the other side of the bed and sat besides his Father."Father how're you feeling now" damien asked while touching his father's forehead trying to feel his temperature."Well, i don't really have a direct answer to that question of yours seeing as i am not in a good condition at the moment, but you I'm definitely feeling better than i was few hours ago. Now let's forget about all this ill health talk and focus on the matter at hand. So how have you been and how's the company affairs going." "I'm fine, well its been stressful handling everything al
Mr Felix knight -(Joan's Father) Mr Felix was about to get up and head into the bathroom when his phone started ringing. He Looked at phone and saw Mr Dominic white flashing on the screen, he quickly picked it and answered the phone."Hello Dominic how are you doing" Mr Felix said the person on the other side of the phone while smiling"Felix my good friend all isn't well at all " Mr Dominic said."What happened Dominic is anything the matter hope you're feeling better now" Mr felix said sounding worried."No Felix and that's the reason I called you""What do you mean Dominic" Mr Felix said while starting to feel worried. "You know I've been very sick for a while now felix and right now as I'm speaking to you I'm laying on a hospital bed, i don't know what may become of me in the future felix, the doctor said the illness is getting worse and my health isn't improving either, i don't know if this might as well be the last time i speak to you, i called you because I wanted to tell you
"So i was thinking, the marriage should be done in 10 days time" Dominic said"10 days!! but that's too soon there won't be enough time for the preparations and i also don't want to rush joan because she might not agree and object so i wanted to have more time to convince her and I can't do that in just the space of 10 days" Mr Felix replied in a worried tone."I know felix that's why i called you and I'm telling you before hand, i know you very well and I trust that you'll be able to convince her in just a day, you know you're very good at convincing people so i know you can do it because she won't be able to resist wnd eventually end up accepting to get married" Mr Dominic said trying to cheer him up."I know I have good convincing skills Dominic but you don't understand joan is ome hell of a though amd stubborn girl and it will definitely take some days to convince her, but since i have only 10 days, I'll try and see what i can do. I just hope my skills work this time around""I kn
"Honey please have a seat i want to talk to you" Mr Felix said to his wife as she entered his room."Okay go on" She replied sitting down."You remember the promise that we made to Mr dominic's family some years back about joan getting married to his son damien" Mr Felix asked his wife. "Yes, i remember what about it""Honey i think its time for that promise to be fufiled, Mr dominic called this morning and his condition is getting worse so he requested that they get married as soon as possible Incase if he were to die any moment from now. I thought about it and I think that joan is already an adult now and so is damien so there shouldn't be any delay right?""Hmm i already thought that it was about time that they got married since they're both adults now. Poor damien I'm sure he must have waited enough to get married to her because from what I remember he has loved her for a very long time. Honey we shouldn't have kept him waiting for this long, i think its time already that they bo
"You remember i told you when you wanted to get married to mason that you were already betrothed to someone else since you were a child and that the time had not yet come for you guys to get married." Felix said looking intently at his daughter."Yes father i remember very clearly, how would i forget when you forced me to break up with my boyfriend just because I was betrothed to someone who i don't know and probably have never even seen in my life before. Dad do you know that i had to force him to leave me even after he confessed his love to me just because of some silly promise you made that i had no say in, so of course i remember clearly" Joan said agitatedly remembering how she was forced to break up with mason just few days after he confessed his feelings for her. Mr Felix looked at Joan who looked like she would rather be anywhere else than be talking to him right now.He wanted to tell her about everything, about the reason for her betrothal and also the marriage, but he just
"Wait dad, i didn't get you very well, me, joan betrothed to damien? And is going to marry him?, that can't be possible dad, it can't work. Just why? Why dad, why was i even betrothed to him in the first place, why wasn't it someone else, why does it have to be Damien of all people and how do you expect me to get married to him? Huh?, i mean if it was someone else i would have agreed for you and mom's sake because that's the least i can do for you guys, but not Damien, dad who would want to be with or even marry someone who barely shows his face and looks scary, dad why did you even make a promise to his family in the first place or better still you could have choosen someone else for me but definitely not Damien" Joan said while panting."Are you done with all your rant" Joan's dad said amazed at the little speech she just gave. "What??? But da-" joan tried to say but her dad cut her off"Shhh, i told you before that whether you like it or not you must get married to damien, you ha
But there was a problem though, isn't 10 days too short for the marriage preparations so she decided to ask her father."Yes father, i will get married to him since that's what you guy's want. But isn't 10 days too short for the marriage preparations?" Joan asked with a worried expression on her face. "It is, but what can i do, it is what it is and also that's how Damien's father wants it, by the way there's enough money and resources for the marriage to take place in 10 days, so there shouldn't be any problem with that" Joan's Father said while getting up."Well, it's getting late now and I'm already done here and since you don't have any more questions to ask, i need to go to bed now. You should also get some rest, both you and your mom, you'll need it for the marriage preparations." Joan's father said as he proceeded for the door, but then he stopped and looked back."Good night" he said and finally left the room. "Goodnight dad" joan said just before the door closed completely.
The wedding was fast approaching and the preparations had already began the day after she was told she'll be getting married.Now it was only two days left till the wedding day. Joan was feeling both nervous and anxious in fact she was having mixed feelings. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, of course just like any other girl Joan has always dreamt of how her marriage would be like, she always fantasized about marrying her Prince Charming then riding back to their mansion in a limousine or the latest car that year. But if only she knew that it wouldn't all go as she had planned, if only she knew that fate had another plan in store for her or maybe fate didn't really have another plan for her, because she got atleast half of the things she fantasized about. She got to marry a rich husband who can definitely afford a limousine or the latest car trending, but the other half which was supposed to be her Prince Charming didn't really work, guess that was where fate got
