80、You must marry him
A month later
Jennifer and her friends had finished thier final exams and defended her project successfully. They were now the latest graduate in town.
He have tried talking to her ever since their last end in his office but she kept ignoring and turning him down. He had requested for her presence in his office many times but she kept giving deaf ear.
She doesn’t hate him or despise him. She still had feelings for him but she doesn’t want to only be his friend.
Sandra and James relationship had been growing strong and Ruth had not stopped going to zogan’s to deliver pizza and collet dick with some bucks of tips.
It was on Friday morning, Jennifer was in her room, thinking on how she would stop thinking and giving herself headache over Mike’s addiction. It’s been long she last seen Mike. She had been looking forward to see Mike I’m their house but all her fantasy never come into reality.
She snapped up from the bed as a loud knock landed on the door.
“I’m coming.” She struggled out of the bed and headed to the door. She opened the door and it was her dad.
“Dad?”
“Can I come in?”
“Yeah, hope I’m save.” Jennifer was trying to recall the last time her dad came to into her room.
“Yeah, I come in peace.” He replied and sat down on the bed, scanning the whole room as if he was taking survey.
“Your room look good.” He complimented and Jennifer closed the door and retired back to the bed.
“I hope theirs no problem dad.”
“Yeah. You know, since you have finished school. The next thing is to start work or you know… get married.”
“Don’t you think its too early to get married?” Jennifer asked
“You are not getting any younger.”
“I think we shouldn’t be talking about marriage now. I don’t even have a fiancee.”
“What if I say I have someone for you?”
“Someone for me?”
“Yeah. He’s a very rich man. I’m sure you will like him.”
“How are sure I will like him? Did I tell you to find husband for me?” Jennifer asked.
“You don’t need to tell me. As a good dad, I know the best for my only daughter. its my responsibility to find a good husband, suitable for you.” His dad said.
“What if I say I’m not interested?” Jennifer was already getting annoyed.
“Why won’t you be interested. The person I’m talking about is a billionaire. Are you trying to tell me you gonna reject one of the richest man in this state?”
“Let me get you dad. You want me to marry him because of his money?” She asked raising her eyebrows.
“Not because of his money. Its because I trusted him. He’s a very good man. He had been nice to me.”
“Who is this man you are talking about? Will I know him?”
“His name is Sylvester.”
“Is it the Sylvester I know? The billionaire?”
“Exactly.” Her dad replied.
“You want me to marry that old man? A man with Six wives? You said you know what is best for me. And old man is the best for me?”
“He’s just 64yrs old. He’s not old. I’m sure you will enjoy the marriage.”
“Enjoy What? See dad, I’m not interested. I’m never going to marry him. I love someone else.”
His dad wasn’t expecting her to reject the proposal. He thought she will happily say yes so he won’t have to tell her the truth. Now that she rejected the proposal, he had no option than to force her or tell her the truth.
“What do you know about love? You think love exist? All you need is a man that is capable of taking you care of you.” Her dad said.
“The person I love can take good care of me.” Jennifer replied and her dad got up from the bed.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I don’t care of the person you love or the person that loves you. You will marry Sylvester. You do what I say and not what you want.” His dad said with a commanding voice.
“Dad, you can’t force me to marry who I don’t want to marry. You cannot make decision for me.”
“I may not make decisions for you in other things but once it comes to marriage, I make the decision and you must marry him.” He said and left her room.
