Chapter 2

Finally I was relieved, I immediately called my driver to take her home directly after whatever she did.

I got a call from my old man,

"Hello Grandpa, under normal circumstances I would say I am pleased to hear your old and hearty voice". I said knowing fully well why he called today.

"You're turning thirty-five in the next five days, what about the pact we made? Remember boy, if you do not get yourself a wife in the next five days I will seize your business from you and cut you off completely, and then you will have to see your brother Samuel run this business". Remembering how I nearly lost everything years back because I trusted my brother makes me sick up till date, I wasn't looking forward to giving him even a room to squat in my company.

"All will be sorted out Grandpa."Yeah that's me, always making promises to solve problems I barely even know how to.

Not too long after the call with my grandpa, I received a call from my friend Jake who knows pretty much about the situation and had been trying to hook me up with all the girls he knows.

"What's up?"He asked, sounding a bit more ecstatic.

"Unless you're the president of America, right now you are fucking disturbing me".

"I've got news for you my friend, come let's hang out later this evening".

"Ok, send the location". Seriously I need this just more than ever, I am stressed, and I need to unwind a little, I need to complain to someone, even if that someone is Jake."

He airtagged his location and I was there in the next 3 hours, as usual he was in a hotel club, like does this guy not have anywhere else to go.

"Wow, Jake, you're really fancy". I said while rolling my eyes, like his location can easily be spotted.

"Let me go get you a drink ok". And as soon as he left, the regular routine started, some of the ladies came in, some I had seen with him and others who looked like his new recruit, jezz, does this guy run a brothel or something. I instinctively declined any form of contact or passes these ladies made, and after about an hour Jake came back with my drink.

"Thought you got caught in an apocalypse, I was really worried". I said in my nicest sarcastic tone. Which made Jakes roll his eyes at me

"Just like you are caught in an apocalypse against women, wait Thoe, are you gay? Cause that would explain a lot ". This guy and weird thoughts last time he suggested that I was into cougars, now I am gay

"Maybe tomorrow I will be into people's wives."

"Well it may actually explain a lot, why you do not want to get or choose a girl from amongst these beauties here tonight".

"Well, Jake this may come as a surprise to you, but marriage is a lot more serious than beauty ok. It has to be someone I am compatible with."

"Well drink up, cause you may not be single for too long or you could probably just give him a grandchild out of wedlock ."Seriously, does this guy think at all?

"Jake, if that was my easy way out ticket, I will be on the next flight to Georgia now, signing a 4 billion dollars contract."

Jake looked at me with some sort of pity and amusement, "well you Old boy does know how to make demands". I wished at that moment I could weep that smug off his face with my fist.

I did think of it at some point, It was better and to be honest the best option for me, cause what most of these girls want is your money, status and fame, some do not even want to build with you. Well like all other ideas I brought up, my old man rejected it instantly, he said any child out of wedlock and I will have to split my inheritance, including my own sweat-built company with my brother. Hell no will I ever let that happen. So this is actually my only option.
