?Nora’s POV?
I starred blindly as the car drove out of view.
“Sylvia!” I heard and immediately recognized the voice.
“Oh! Mabel how are you?” I asked and she walked towards me and kssed my cheeks.
“Am good. You aren’t looking good yourself, she replied and I exhaled.”
“Why aren’t you coming in?” She asked and I shook my head.
I have something more important to do that can’t be put to hold, I replied and made to walk to Ronnie’s car.
“You’re staying in Ronnie’s house?” She asked and I smiled.
“Come see him once in a while sis. He misses you a whole lot , I said and she scoffed.”
“He should have thought of that before he started cheating, she replied with her hands at akimbo.”
I smiled and entered into the car.
“Come see him for my sake, I said and closed it.”
I drove straight to Marcus’s dads company.
I drove into the garage and requested to see Marcus dad.
“Who are you?” The secretary asked glaring at me.
“Just tell him Mr Ramon’s daughter and he’ll no its me , I replied in a harsh commanding voice.”
She called and told him and he let me in.
I opened his office door but surprisedly saw Dad.
“So you went against my command Sylvia?” Dad roared and I gulped down the saliva that has formed in my mouth.
“I couldn’t wait. Am sorry sir, I replied.”
“Come on, don’t be hard on your daughter. Sit dear, mar dad said and I sat down on a vacant sit there.”
“So you said your cover is blown?” He asked.
“Yes and he refuses to see me. The only way is to tell him the truth Sir, I replied calmly.”
“Go on then , he said and my dad glared at him.”
Are you serious?
Wow!
You were did one that didn’t want him to no but what’s this? Dad asked anger resounding in his voice.
“Don’t you see she’s desperate. Come on. He won’t kill her, mar dad replied.”
“But the plan will be ruined once he knows the real truth, dad reasoned.”
“Did you say he fell in love with you dear?” Mar dad asked again.
“Yes sir, I replied.”
“Then go , he commanded and I couldn’t contain my happiness.”
If I had known I could have come straight to him.
I stood up immediately and went to his office.
I didn’t wait to ask the secretary any questions and he ran after me.
Ma’am you can’t just go…
He was about saying before the door open from the inside.
My heart missed a beat as our eyes met again.
“What do you want?” He asked rather coldly.
“I want to talk, I replied immediately.”
If you aren’t ready to…
“I am ready!” I replied and he exhaled.
He left the door way for me and I became a little scared to enter but did anyways.
I entered and sat down. He locked the door and turned to look at me still leaning on the door.
“Marcus am sorry for everything. For hiding the truth from you, believe me am sorry.”
“I want you to go straight to the point, he replied still leaning on the door.”
I stood up immediately fiddling with my finger as I walked up to him and hugged him but surprisedly he didn’t move.
He didn’t push me away or hug me back.
I understand that you’re angry and you have ever right to be but I was also forced to do what I did.
More like a command.
To the point, he husked and went to sit on his desk.
Your father and mine had a long lasting contract.
They promise to continue working together and one of the way to do it is to get you and I married.
Trust me I didn’t like the plan at all but they already decided among themselves.
It happened when I was very little. I was twelve then and didn’t even understand what it was about.
“But the main point here is to make sure you fall in love with me and marry me, I said but he kept a straight face as if I didn’t say anything at all.”
“Is that why you came then?” He asked after a long pause.
Yes.
He touched his fore head and exhaled.
“Was that so hard to say? Why did you keep me in the dark?” He asked calmly.
I was scared. If you disobey one of my dad’s command he’ll punish you for it. Am really scared of him, I cooed.
“Why aren’t you reacting angrily? Aren’t you supposed to be angry?” I asked.
Am not strong enough to be angry at you. Am only hurting myself by been angry at you, he said.
I went close and held his hand.
I missed you Marcus. You can’t imagine what your words did to me, I..
Nora?
“Nora is also my name Marcus, I’d appreciate if you continue calling me that name , I cooed and hugged him again.”
I missed you too Nora.
