We pulled up in front of a boutique.
I gasped a bit and turned to him looking disturbed "what are we doing here?"He winked at me "we are here to shop young lady."We alighted from the car, I walked closer to him "sir I don't need new clothes, you just paid for my sister's medical bills..."He waved his hand at my face cutting me off "but I'm not complaining Selena, just go in there, the ladies would help you select good clothes befitting for Mrs.Chancy.My eyes widened "who... who.. is Mrs.Chancy?"He laughed "you of course Selena, that's what you would be addressed as soon, you should start getting used to it."I gulped hard on my saliva looking lost, I wasn't dreaming, I have actually agreed to marry a man old enough to be my father and saved my sister from dying, a huge relief isn't it?No, this wasn't a relief for me, yes I have saved my sister but my heart is even more heavier, I felt like I have lost my identity and the person I truly aRelated chapters

I felt a slight headache, I ran my hand through my forehead feeling a little feverish "I was just having a bad dream."She nodded still staring at me.I looked up at the lady's face, I could barely see her face clearly, my vision was blurry.I rubbed my hands over my eyes hoping it gets better soon enough.I had dozed off in my new room, I was so exhausted after going here and there with Mr.Chancy, I haven't slept well in a long time though.The lady hissed "what are you doing in my mother's room?" She yelled.I was surprised, she didn't sound nice to me at all.Fortunately my vision got clearer, I sat up on the bed, my shoulders ached alot.I scoffed taking a quick glance at her face and around the room."I don't understand...." I said stuttering a bit.I couldn't understand what she meant by her mother's room besides I have never met the lady before.She yanked me by the arm "did you just say you don't understand or are you de

Mr.Chancy shook his head still wearing his usual smile.I stole a glance at him wondering how he was still able to smile in a situation like this.This wasn't funny at all, his daughter doesn't look like she's ever going to accept the fact that her father wants to marry someone who looks almost her age.I couldn't even imagine her calling me stepmother, can you imagine that?The room was really getting hot for me, I could feel my back and armpit getting soaked in cold sweat."It's not a joke Stella, I and Selena are getting married soon" he said.He made it sound so simple with the way he said it, I could sense alot of pride and confidence behind his words, like someone who just won a trophy.Stella stared at us for a while, her eyes kept fluttering.I could imagine how much she was hating me right now within her, I would do the same if I were in her shoes, this was not an easy thing to accept.She was just too shocked, he mouth left agap

"I can't believe this father, this is so not happening" Stella yelled almost in tears.Mr.Chancy glared at his daughter, he looked extremely furious."That isn't enough for you to speak to her in such rude manner!" He thundered."Not when you have her lying in my mother's bed" Stella cried out."This remains my house Stella, I choose to give out which ever room I choose to" he said."No dad! Not under my watch!" Stella folded her hands.Mr.Chancy gasped staring at her "I am the one getting married Stella and not you."Stella's eyes widened "dad she's my age mate, can't you see that? What do you expect the world to say about this?""The world can say whatever they want to say Stella, I don't care" he said.Stella scoffed "you really don't care father?""I'm sure I don't look like I care" he looked straight at her face.Stella swallowed hard seeing the look in his eyes.She just couldn't understand how her father came up with

Mr.Chancy was furious on seeing that Selena had ran out of the compound, he wanted out of the house looking frustrated, he took a deep breath, he was sure he could find her.He walked back into the mansion."Stella I would not have you insult Selena in this house!" He said in anger."Selena or whatever her name is father, she is not welcomed in this house and that is it, I would not have you marry that dumb thing!" She roared.Mr.Chancy slapped her at once "how dare you?"Stella was shocked, her father has never raised her hand on her.She moved back in fear as her father walked closer to her "you see that woman called Selena, I love her Stella and I would marry her, having her under this roof wasn't easy for me to achieve and I would not allow some stupid daughter of mine to come in between my happiness.""Father..." She cried out with tears clogging her eyes.He pointed fiercely at her "Selena would return to this house and live under this r

I opened my eyes to a room glowing with little light coming from a lamp located at the right side of the bed.I rolled my eyes in confusion wondering where I was, my head still ached alot.I could feel a slight weakness in my body as I placed my hand over my forehead.The door opened and a lady walked in, I could barely see her face nor what she was wearing since the room was dark."Switch the lights on please" I said feeling irritated by the darkness of the room.The lights came on.I sat up gasping, I was back to Mr.Chancy's house, in the same room Stella had claimed was her mother's.I rubbed my hands over my eyes, I could hear my stomach grumbling, I was so hungry."Are you feeling better ma'am?" The lady asked me.I looked up at her face, she was the same lady I saw in my dream the other day who had come to call me for dinner.I nodded looking away, frightened by the thought of that horrible dream."What happened to me?" I

Mr.Chancy placed his warm hands on my shoulder.I would feel it because I was wearing a sleeveless top.I stared at his face, he seemed to be aging more with each day that swept by.I sighed looking away, I couldn't stare at his face for long"I am really very sorry about my daughter's attitude" he said in a calm tone.I shook his hands off my shoulder and walked over to the bed and sat down.Mr.Chancy sighed walking closer to me "I'm truly sorry Selena."I chortled "you know, your daughter makes it look like I made more than just a mistake by saying yes to this marriage.""This was the best decision ever Selena, don't listen to Stella" he said."But she is right after all, you're too old for me and I'm too young for you" I said.He laughed softly "is that what she said to you?""It's the obvious Mr.Chancy" I said staring him right in the face for a while.He was beginning to sound like it was normal and okay for men to mar

Stella drove into a compound with her Lamborghini and parked it at the garage.Her face was frowned and she looked very upset.The thought of Selena and her father was really waiting her deeply and she could barely control how she was feeling about it.So she decided to pay her boyfriend a visit, she believed that spending time with him might help ease up her stress.She was dressed in a blue crop top and black trouser, she looked pretty hot.Stella pressed the door bell and waited impatiently for the door to be opened."Hello babe" a young man said opening the door, he had a proud look on his face.She scoffed "it took you so long to open the door."He smiled "I'm sorry, I was having a shower."She looked down at him and noticed he had a towel tied around his waist."Great!" She mumbled pushing him aside as she walked into the apartment.He closed the door and followed her behind."You didn't tell me you were coming Stella

Stella drove back home.She parked her car and alighted from it looking extremely exhausted.Selena watched her from her window, Stella looked up and saw her.She hissed."Gold digger " Stella mumbled.She walked into the mansion and met her father sitting in the living room with his lawyer."Hello Mr Gabriel" she greeted looking excited to see the middle aged lawyer who her father was few years older than.He smiled on seeing her "Stella, it has being a while since I last saw you, how are you doing?"She chortled "you barely ask of me, isn't it?"Mr Gabriel took a quick glance at Mr Chancy looking surprised.Mr Chancy laughed "he really do ask of you Stella, just that it skips my mind most times to tell you."Stella gasped "you never told me father, it skips your mind all the time not most times."Mr Gabriel shurrged "I'm glad that I have been vindicated."Stella nodded with a smile on her lips "now I'm convinced that
