” you are getting married Rico”.
it felt like a bang on my head
” dad, today is not prank day, you know that” I said laughing nervously.
” your dad is not joking Shawn, you are getting married to his business partners daughter, Bethel Albert” mum said.
” dad, I am not getting married and you can’t decide whether I would get married or not, you have no right over me” i yelled angrily.
” you know Albert is a nice man” mum said.
” that doesn’t mean his daughter is nice and you know I h@ťě women” .
” I am a woman” mum said.
” apart from you and Katherine maybe some from our relatives”.
” you can’t miss this opportunity” dad said.
” I am not missing any opportunity, dad” I replied.
” you are missing a very big opportunity by not being the CEO of my company” he said angrily.
” what!!!!!!”.
” if you don’t marry her, my company goes to Ricky or Katherine”.
” ewwwwwwwn, that company sucks” Katherine said.
no no no, I have been wanting to be the CEO of my dad company since when I was born.
” either you accept it or leave it” Dad said.
I looked at my dad and then my mum. $h|t!!, I’m so f-__-ked up, should i agree to this useless proposal or not. i bit my lip for a very long time before answering.
” fine” I said .
” you made the right decision son”.
” I didn’t make any f-__-king Right decision, dad, I am doing it because of the company” I yelled.
” Shawn use your words, Katherine is over here” mum said.
” who doesn’t know what f*****g means” Katherine said.
I angrily Storm out of the house, I guess bethel Albert must be so happy about it, she would regret ever being my wife and I hope Katherine h@ťěs her, I entered into my car and drove off!! .
Bethel POV
I walked into the restaurant rooftop, I sighted Cole sitting on a chair.
” hey” I called.
he turns then saw me
” hey, bethel” he stood up then hug me.
meet Cole my best friend, we have being friends since kindergarten, our mum’s knows each other, he is 23, tall in height, has a brown hair, green eyes, he is funny and cute, don’t think otherwise we don’t look each other in an intimate way.
” so the reason I called you here is to celebrate about something” Cole said.
” ooooookay” I said drawing the o and also nodded my head.
” I broke up with Stephanie ” he said happily.
” and you are happy about it, she is like your 30th girlfriend now” I said.
” yeah, I know, the reason I broke up with her is because she said I should cut ties with you” .
” what a Ɓîtçh” I said then quickly covered my mouth.
” my jar is not here but I can still hold the one dollar in my hands” .
I took my purse then brought out one dollar then gave it to him. we kinda made rules, rules number (10) no swear words.
” happy now??” I asked.
” yeah, so I met a beautiful girl her name is Jasmine, we bumped into each other and we apologized to each other, to cut the story short, I asked her for her number” he said smiling.
” Cole has fallen in love” I said teasing him.
” I think so” .
” wow,that is a very big achievement” I said.
” so you wanted to tell me something” he said.
” yeah and I think you are gonna be angry about the decision I made” I said nervously.
” come on say it”.
” hmmmmmm I am getting married in two weeks” I said rubbing my hands together.
” what!!!!! Bethel Alexandra Albert” he yelled calling my full name.
” so you where dating a guy and you didn’t tell me about it and you are telling me two weeks before the marriage, I thought we were best friends” he said frowning.
” you look cute when you frown your face” he smiled then quickly replaced it with a frown again.
” you just made blush, but it’s not funny bethel” he said.
” well, I didn’t date the guy” .
” wait, I am definitely going to date Jasmine before I marry her” he said awkwardly.
” it – it’s an arranged marriage” I starmared.
” what!!!!” he fell on the floor then stood up again.
” you are joking right??” I nodded my head In a negative sign, he fell again on the floor again then stood up.
” are you serious??”he asked.
” yes and now don’t faint again” I quickly said.
” who forced you to get married to the guy??”.
” I decided to do it in order to save my dad’s company”.
” who is the guy??” he asked.
” hmmm Rico Shawn”.
” Rico f-__-king Shawn” he yelled
I didn’t need to tell him he brought out the one dollar I gave him before then handed it to me.
” back to what I was saying, we h@ťě that guy bethel”.
” I know, but I have to do this for my parents”. he stare at me for long and use his hand to touch his hair.
” fine but promise me you won’t fall for him”.
” I promise”.
” come here” he said then hug me.
