Afraid to Love
Episode 26
“Nope.”
“You are scared it”ll hurt her. She’s doing you a great favour.”
“Father, I’ve got things to do. The companies will have to be merged. There’s a meeting this afternoon with the heads of the two companies.
Purity will soon start working under me and I’ve got to get things ready. I can’t start talking to Tricia now.” Jeremy explained.
“Hmph! I’ll see what I can do.”
“Becareful with her.”
“Why she’d hurt me?”
“I don’t think so. Starting to hate her already. I will murder her if she does anything to you.”

“I don’t want to see her.”

If they got married and divorced, she’d get a lot from him.
Purity couldn’t be after the money, still he could trust no one. Not even his father. This had just added to his troubles. He’d confront Purity, then visit the hospital to enquire of his father’s health. He got to be sure.
His cell phone buzzed in his pocket, dragging him out of his reverie. It was his P.A calling.
“The meeting’s about to begin.”
D–n! He had forgotten all about it. “I’ll be there in a jiffy.” he hung up and dashed out of the house.
