A knock on my door woke me up, I groaned and ignored the door, hoping that whoever was at the door would leave.
My heart was troubled and my mind was not at rest when I got home last night, so I stayed up late. My mind keeps bouncing back from Christy to my dad.Christy's opinion of me hurts me but I didn't blame her for it because I knew I was already turning her life upside down and all through the night I thought of a way I could prove to her that my intention was far from what she thought of me. I don't know how I can achieve it but I want to keep her safe and close to me.On the other hand, my dad was not making things easy for me, he wants to take away the person that gives me peace and I was thrown between his dream and wish and my being happy. But that was the only thing I was doing and fulfilling his wish and ignoring my own peace of mind, he had trapped me like a prisoner and his puppet and I was scared of going to jail.With so much thoZack laughed at my questions, I was already confused because I don't understand what he is talking about." Come on, I am serious here, I said to him. with irritation in my tone, he stopped laughing and stared at me with those eyes of his, amused." So you don't have a clue of what I am saying?" He asked almost to himself." If I knew would I be asking?" I snapped at him and his face became serious. He started at me and try reading my reaction for a while." Your name and masked face are all over the place stating that you are running for the post of governor of M city," He said and my heart skipped." What!" I exclaimed and I stood up from my seat." Tony!" He called out and stood up, his height matching mine." Didn't you know?" He asked when he realises I don't know anything about it." No! I don't," I yelled at him and he backed away from me.I started pacing to and fro as I ran my hand through
I left the office and head home in a cab because Tony didn't come to pick me up and I didn't see him in the morning. I was getting worked up and didn't know what to do.When I got home, I wanted to give him a call but was afraid he might not pick up my call so I didn't call, I sat there staring at the door, hoping to get a knock on my door but neither came.It is the one-hundredth time that I have been staring at the door this evening with the hope that there will be a knock at the door and Tony will walk in through the door but as the previous times I stared outside, there was still no Tony.I sighed and walked back to the sitting room, I was tired and exhausted from work and being alone In this big house was killing me with Tony being absent. I miss Tony and I just wish to see him because I was used to having him around.I picked up my phone and stare at It again, there was no message from him, no chat nor a call." Is he that pissed wi
At his words, my heart tightened and butterflies filled my stomach. A smile spread across my lips and my heart warms up to him. There was this happiness that I never felt before or maybe I have felt it before but it was a very long time ago. Whatever it was, I was happy to hear him express his feelings for me, my heart has long been waiting to hear this from him and when it came I felt that joy that came with the knowledge that someone loves me. I accepted it fully as I have been preparing myself to hear those words for a long time. My body relaxes into his hands and I feel a sense of peace surrounding me. It felt perfect just for a little while.' You don't love him, do you? Are you going to let your experience with Eric stand in the way of your happiness,' My thoughts said to me. And a dread filled my heart replacing the beautiful feelings I had, had...I tried waving that ugly thought from my mind but it didn't go away. But Tony has proven several ways
After the emotional moments, we both sat on the couch, relaxing while watching a movie, It was a blissful moment for me. I can't believe Christy will agree to be my wife, it is what I want the most in my life, I can't imagine my life without her, she was everything I wanted in a woman, she gives me peace and helps me be myself whenever she was around me. But one thing still lingers in my mind, my father! How am I going to handle him when he finds out I have defiled him and gone ahead to marry another person who was from a family not recognised and not the one he has been matchmaking for over five years? I know it was going to be a tough battle for Christy and me, but I guess we will cross that bridge when the time comes and he starts causing problems for Christ and me. I hope Christy will be able to fight this with me It was a lovely night, and I felt a new beginning brewing up and getting ready for me to step in with Christy standing firmly by my side. I knew she was goin
While we drove off the office building all I thought about was how Christy was going to feel when I told her, she was an employee in my company and that I was her boss. I just hope she will take the news well because I need her by my side, she has become a strong pillar for me to rely on and if she decided to leave me now, I wonder if I would be able to survive without her. Another thing I need to take care of was my father, I don't want him causing any problems for Christy after our marriage.I have to establish Christy's position in the family so that no one can look down on her, I will protect her even from my father, and I will make sure my father has no qualms about my marriage to her.It will not be easy for her but since I was the one who chose her it will be my duty to make sure she was well protected from the situation that he put her in. I will make sure Christy will be the happiest wife in the whole wide world. She will never regret marrying me. She is s
However, Christy didn't know that Tony was sitting in an open-air cafe on the second floor and he was watching everything that was happening. His gaze was focused on Christy all the way. Apparently, he witnessed all that happened from the beginning to the end.Tony received a call from his friend Zack and he went to meet him there.Zack sip his coffee and tried to poke into more details. " Tony is that not the arrogant Miss Brown?" Tony's eyes became cold, " Yes she is the one," " Why are you watching her? She seems to be on her wit's end today. Or do you wish to have a taste of her? Zack teased him.Tony ignored his teasing and gently waved his hand backwards to Mick who was also close by. Mick quickly stepped forward and bent over to put his ears close enough to hear. Tony whispered, Mick, continually nodded his head and quickly left to carry out his instruction.Zack's curiosity was stirred and he asked in interest, " Are yo
After about thirty minutes that Christy called to inform Mick that she was already, Mick arrived to pick her up and take her to the hotel where Tony was waiting for her. It was already 6:30 PM by the time he arrived to pick her up.Mick knocked on the door of the shop when he got there and when it was opened he was stunned at the beauty standing before him. He knew Christy was beautiful but never realize her beauty can be compared to that of Snow White. He knew his boss has a taste for women he had been wondering why Christy seem to be special and seeing her standing in front of him made him understand better. Christy's beauty can be displayed in the Museum and people will pay a huge amount to have it hanging in their houses. He can not help but feel envious of his boss.When Mick realized he has been staring for too long and it was becoming embarrassing he can back to his senses and said, " The young master awaits you, Miss Brown," " Okay," Christy said
Tony sat there while the music plays on and continue to stare at the beautiful lady sitting in front of him, he couldn't help but be happy that she finally agreed to be his wife. He has decided to take the right step by giving her an engagement ring before asking her to sign the Marriage certificate Mick has helped him to get from the marriage registry. He wanted her to know how he valued her as his woman.Not quite long the waitress came in with a bottle of wine and serve it to them before leaving them.Christy's heart swirls in love as she watches all Tony had done because of her. She could help but ask. " Did you do all this because of me?" " Yes, I want you to know how special you are to me," Tony answered." You have suffered a lot in life and I want to take it that suffering way since you are now my woman, I will give you the protection and love you need from this moment onward, I love you Christy and there is no denying it and I want to ma
