HIS CARE

SHADE

Few minutes back , I heard the sound of some cars drove in as I was sitting at the edge of my bed weeping, I rush to the window to peep from my window and I couldn't see any car but I think KUNLE is back.

I was still weeping when I heard a knock on my door and I was even scared to open the door, I stood up and slowly go to the door .

I opened the door and it was Mariam.

" Mr Kunle said I should call you and that you should come with me right now to his office" Mariam said and I just became weak because I am sure it's going to be a joint insult or maybe punishment from mother and son.

I followed Mariam lazily dragging my feet with so many things running through my head.

Immediately Mariam and I entered into the office and I was like " Wow" because I have never entered or seen a Luxury office like this in real life, I only watch that in movies.

I kept looking around the office and Kunle's mom's voice brought me back to my senses and I trembled in fear.

I was going to look down to my feet when KUNLE caught my attention and I couldn't look away from him, I began to notice so many things I have never noticed on him.

His beard, his lips and his handsome face were just matching and it gave him that perfect look of a gentle man, I was so carried away staring at him until our gaze met, we both stare at each other and I look down to my feet.

" What are you staring at ?! His mom yelled at me.

" And why are you just standing?! She yelled at me again.

I didn't know what to do again, I try hard not to let a tear dripped down my face but it was hard.

I didn't know if to walk closer to her or not, I just stood where I was.

" Wicked girl, she wants to ruin the reputation that I and my family have built over the years anyways I want to put that one aside first before coming back to that.

" There will be a photoshoot between you and my son tomorrow and you should find a way to tell your wretched family about my son coming to ask for your hand in marriage at least your village will be thankful to my son for choosing you to be his trophy wife and you and your entire family or generation shouldn't think you have seen a rich boy because he belongs to a better girl who has class than you are, a girl that will never put her nakedness on the internet to woo my son a girl who befits his status and not a cheap girl like you" I was sobbing and didn't know when I sob out loud.

I look up to both mother and son's face and his mom was going to speak again when he held his mom's hand and whisper and I could read his lips.

" Mom please, it's enough" he says.

"It's not enough, don't try to stop me Kunle, This girl is a very wicked girl, I have read lots of comments directed at me on the internet that we rich people don't train our children and it is because of this gold digger that people are saying this to us"Kunle mom says.

I couldn't take his mom insults anymore, I ran out of the office, I ran as fast as I can and I could hear Kunle call out my name as I run out of his office, I run into my room and shut the door.

I rested my back on the door and slipped down to the floor.

KUNLE.

"Mom, you shouldn't have said that to her, we do not even know yet if she was the one who did the video" I said.

" Don't tell me you believe her lies and crocodile tears? My mom asked.

" No mom but we shouldn't conclude yet" I said.

" Why are you defending her? Don't tell me you are in love with that wretched girl? My mom asked.

" Ofcourse no, I just feel all of this is unnecessary and moreover I need her to help me keep the tabloid shut and I think we should take things easy on her" I said.

" No son, I am not going easy on her because girls like this are dangerous and I am here to protect you from girls like this" my mom says.
