Forced Affair

After so much teasing, Daniel was able to cajole his friends to leave, using work as an excuse and promising to meet them at the club later at night. In as much as his mind kept wandering off to Her, he tried his very best to bury himself with work and just when he was really deep into it, the sound of his phone ringing, took his mind off what he was doing. Taking a glance at the phone beside him, he heaved a tired sigh as he saw the Caller ID. He literally watched the phone ring until it stopped ringing after which Daniel went back to work. Hardly had he typed a single word on his laptop when his phone rang again beside him. It was the same person calling. He sighed, picking up the phone and bringing it to his ear after pressing the answer button. "Hi Baby," The very familiar feminine voice came through. "I'm very busy, Mom. Kindly go straight to the point." "Wow! Good evening to you too, Son!" "You called? Why?" He said sternly. "Do I need to have a valid reason to reach out

After a couple of minutes of driving, Dan finally got home. He went straight for a shower, then changed into one of his comfy sweatpants. He reached for his phone in the hope that he would see a missed call or text message to acknowledge his interest in her but he saw nothing and that resonated another form of anger in him. Daniel stormed out of his bedroom, slamming the door behind him. He found himself in the living room and when he didn't see who he was looking for. He made his way to the kitchen where he finally found her, She was by the counter, doing some cleaning. She was dressed in her maid uniform which was a short black and white dress and her hair was put in a ponytail. Daniel knew she either saw him or noticed his presence as she vigorously continued cleaning the countertop. Not as if it was dirty or Dan even ate most of the food she prepared, he was just a neat freak and required that she cleaned the house twice a day. Dan finally approached her from behind and squeeze

Daniel grumbled, seeing the phone go off. He couldn't believe that this was happening. Dan had always been someone who had fun in his own way and whilst doing that, he tried not to ruin the family's reputation or at least do something to get his father involved. He couldn't believe that the girl he had been obsessed with turned a really small gesture into a big of a deal. Tossing his phone on the table angrily, Dan dashed into the adjoined bathroom in the office and changed into another pair of shirt and pants. He arranged his hair with his fingers, did a little cleanup, then came out of the bathroom. He picked up his phone where he left it, then exited his office. After driving for almost twenty minutes, Daniel got to his parents' house. He parked the car exactly in front of the entrance door and then made his way in. The housekeeper told him his parents were in the study so he went there straight. Opening the door, he came face to face with his Dad, Mom, and Immediate younger sist

“Full name, Beatrice Arson. 26, A high school graduate and has been working jobs to jobs since then to help her struggling family and pay off the debt her late father owed.” “She’s got a not so honest boyfriend..” “What do you mean by that?” Dan asked, interrupting Aaron. He had no idea why that statement angered him a lot! “She likes him so much but he’s out there manipulating her and cheating on her as well. Rumor has it that they are going to get married soon!” “Married? How? Didn’t you just say he’s merely the boyfriend?” Daniel had no idea why he was so pissed by this conversation. “I didn’t think I saw any ring on her either!” He said, trying to remember the scene of where he held her hand earlier. “Yes, He didn’t give her a ring or any form of jewelry to seal the proposal. He only proposed by words. He told her he can’t afford a ring yet.” “What the fuck?!” Daniel found himself being even more disgusted. “He can’t afford a ring? how can he afford to even take care of her

“I don’t know if he has seen it yet. I haven’t been able to get across to him. His number is not going through. He must be busy.” “That’s what I detest about you. You make excuses for him every time. No matter how busy a man can be, he should never be too busy to give attention to a woman he loves and claims he’s about to marry.” “Don’t make a big deal out of this, Rita. I already told you that he’s on a business trip.” “Why do you sound nervous? You are scared he’s going to be mad at you?” “I…. I…don’t know. But I’ll definitely not welcome the idea of a woman touching my fiancé.” “Even if it’s against his will.” “So you feel he’s going to be mad at you?” “Maybe ?” She mumbled. Rita sighed from the other end. “I would never understand you and Frank’s love story.” “But let’s forget about him for now. Are you really sure you are doing well? I can come over if you don’t mind.” “I’m okay, I guess. I just need to start searching for another job.” “Louis is still a bitch for firin
