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.
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
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
"hold on Tori and let me explain?". Once again, my attempt to speak gets weaved away by mom's aggrieved tone. "Get away from her, Lisa!!! How could you be so wicked?". ( Mom airs out in a pissed off tone) I took heed of her voice and raised back at the same mood, "wicked? I am being wicked? What the hell mom" ( frowns upon, the same time, my eye wandered off and takes notice of a familiar face ambling downstairs."You! What are you doing here?"I took a step forward but gets dragged back by Tori, "where do you think you're going!! Sister, stay clear from Jason's path". She commands and veers over to him"What are you saying Tori!! Can't you see that Jason doesn't love you, he won't ever because he's been working with Mr. Ajay, to destroy me, by going my family".For the next minute, I tried explaining to my family, yet, Tori was so engulfed with her blind loves, "oh please sister, everything isn't about you!! And ye
"fine!! If you don't want to believe me, then I'll have to prove to you that your sister, isn't who she claims to be and have you forgotten, that even blood sisters can turn to enemies, so please, I will have to prove that theory for you to understand". ( He sneaked out of the room, leaving her in his illusion of lies).I had no idea what was going on, thus the second I left mom inside her room, Alvin calls, "hello, miss danger, please come meet me at the playground". He says through the phone and disconnects it without giving me a chance to speak.I strolled out of the house and went on to meet Alvin there, he weaves my attention over to him."So, what's going on?" ( Asked oblivious to the reason why he called)He ( Alvin) brings out an envelope and passed it to me, " please read?" ( Adds up his word to me), thus curiously I read thorough and falls back after reading the content of the letter.
The next day, I had to step out to get a glass of water from the fridge, but my eyes drift away to see the living filled-up reports who all surrounded Tori and Mom."What the hell?".I walked over and dragged her away from there, unfortunately, one of the reporter had to say something nasty against my sister that got me angered, I couldn't help myself but nudged him down to the floor"Everybody, get out". The furious tone in my voice made them disappear from one after the other.My eyes moved back and saw how yet again, shaken Tori was all because of them."Tori, please calm down for the baby".My words seem to have gone the wrong way, she frowns her face and ran up to the room.I tried to go after her but mom pulled me back and said, "Leave her alone for now to calm down"."Yes, ma'am" affirmed her suggestion only to go run back the second we had a glass scatter
( one month later)After running Helter scatter to expose Julian, in front of everyone failed, I watched my sister get dressed in her wedding gown, decerning today being ( 2nd of June 2021) was her wedding day, mom donned me in a bridal gown and asked to walk her ( Tori) down the aisle since dad was no more.Out of the love I have for my dad, Tori and I walked down to alter, there he stood wearing a blue-colored suit, Julian shoots me a smile thus that signifies, mockery, as I stood behind her.My head couldn't stop thinking of a way to save her, but no matter how much I try, they're about to get married God heard my prayers and brought the police, into the wedding arena."Sorry officers, what's going on?"I asked and watched one of the times air out publicly."Good day, ma'am but we are here today to arrest the groom of this wedding". ( One of the police officers sa
