“Sharon mind your language.” Esther said and rolled her eyes at her daughter's words while Felicia hurriedly turned to her father asking,
“Dad is this true? you know am too young to get married right. I should be in college not getting married” Felicia said angrily.
“Don't raise your voice at me licia, I don't have any other choice other than getting you married moreover you are of a marriageable age so Prepare to meet your in-laws tommorow,” Mr Badmus said and stood up prepared to leave then Felicia chuckled as she blinked back the tears that was threatening to fall.
"Dad has always been like this to me since these two women came into our house. He's always partial towards Sharon and I'm sure it's her idea to get me married instead of her. but dad you can't force me to get married” Felicia said inwardly.
“Felicia, don't try to disobey me this time or I'll get you locked up until you get married” Mr Badmus replied and left.
Felicia turned around and saw Sharon with her mom smiling and Sharon whispered to her saying it was her revenge to her but Felicia gave her the fuck you sign and left the room with her head high up. She decided that she won't give them the satisfaction of seeing her break down.
As she left, she heard Sharon say,“The nerves of that fool"
"Don't worry baby, she will soon be out of our lives” her mom replied and Felicia rushed to her room crying all the way but with a decision that she'll get them back for this.
Fyneface groaned as he held his head lightly before sitting up on the bed. He couldn't believe that the girl he carried for the night drugged him to steal and get other valuables from him.
He was just about to call one of his bodyguards when someone knocked and when he asked the person to come in, it turned out to be one of his men.
“Sir, I've been knocking for a while now, your father sent a message,” Paschal said.
“Paschal where's that bitch from last night?,”Fyneface asked ignoring his statement.
“We allowed her go sir because we know you were through with her,” Paschal replied bowing.
“Ensure you find her and once you do that, take her to the torture room because I'll make her regret what she did, ”Fyneface said and Paschal nodded.
“Talking about dad, what does he want?,”Fyneface asked picking the outfit he was going to wear to work.
“Sir, master wants you to come to the main house today,” Paschal repeated again.
“Tell him I'm busy,” Fyneface replied curtly
“He said he will freeze your account if you don't show up today.”Paschal said and Fyneface turned to look at him when he said that. He groaned before telling Paschal to inform his secretary that he won't be coming to work. Then Paschal nodded and left.
“Mom, Dad is anyone home?” Fyneface asked as he walked into the silent sitting room. Hardly had he finished his statement when someone ran into the room and immediately hugged him tightly and without even looking he knew it was his younger brother Newstyle.
“Hey, stop hugging me so tightly. I told you to stop being so childish. Men shake hands not choke each other like you are doing right now,” Fyneface said as he forcefully released himself from his hug then he smiled revealing those cute dimples Fyneface wished he had.
“What are you doing at home anyway? ain't you supposed to be in school now?,” Fyneface asked his brother while checking his wristwatch.
“Hell no bro, why should I be in school and miss your...,” Newstyle was about saying but couldn't finish his words because their parents walked into the room and his dad signaled him to shut up.
Fyneface looked at the three of them wondering what they were hiding from him. Finally he walked up to his mum, kissed her on the cheek and greeted dad.
“Dad you wanted to see me, Is it something important?,” Fyneface asked but his Dad cleared his throat and said,
“I hope you cancelled your plans for today because we would be going to meet your future wife and in-laws”
Fyneface stood with his mouth agape for a while before saying,
“Dad what do you mean by future wife?”
“Don't you think you've kept the media entertained for long enough, I'm tired of seeing your face with different ladies on magazines and tabloids so I fixed your marriage,”His father answered but it sounded ridiculous to Fyneface.
"Married and tied down with one girl when there are lots of girls for me to enjoy? I refuse to be tied down to one stupid marriage so dad, I don't agree to this marriage,” Fyneface responded feralessly.
“Then I'll freeze your account then let's see what you will do without it,” His father threatened him
“Dad what will it take to give me full ownership of the premium account?,” Fyneface asked willing to bargain with anything for that account.
“You have to agree to this marriage and settle down. I don't want to see you die as a bachelor and we also need grandchildren only then can you own the account,” His father replied and Fyneface sighed desperately pulling the soft strands of his hair in frustration.
"I can do anything except getting married" Fyneface said and
looked around the room searching for help when he saw his brother smiling at him.
He seem to be enjoying his argument with their father and he even went as far as getting a popcorn to enjoy the show.
"Mum can you please talk to Dad about his decision of me getting married because I am not ready to settle down yet” Fyneface pleaded with his mum but his mum smiled and said to him
“Why don't you meet with your bride first and decide if you want to get married or not? I trust your dad's judgement.” His mum Madam Gift said and Fyneface sighed because It seems like there's no way out of this for him.
“Okay, I'll just meet up with her but you won't force me to get married to her if I don't want to” Fyneface said and his mum nodded.
“Then go and get ready because we are leaving now,” his dad said but as Fyneface was about leaving, he began dragging his brother Newstyle.
“Mom! Save me, Fyneface is going to kill me,” Newstyle kept shouting as Fyneface dragged him out and their mum just laughed and told Newstyle to stop being a baby”.
Felicia's Nanny Kate walked into Felicia's room and was shocked to see her unprepared instead she laid on her bed wearing her shorts and a t-shirt.
“Licia, why aren't you dressed yet? your in-laws will be here soon,” the nanny said looking at the abandoned Royal blue gown beside her but Felicia sighed and sat up on the bed before looking at Mrs Kate with teary eyes.
“I don't want to get married. My father didn't even tell me the name of the guy I'm supposed to get married to but even at that, I still don't want to get married,” Felicia said trying hard not to cry and Mrs Kate went over to her and hugged her.
“You don't have a choice baby, we don't have a choice and you know there is absolutely nothing I can do anything about it. I'm just a servant here who doesn't have a say in this,” Mrs Kate told Felicia who shook her head in tears..
“You are not a servant, you are my mom and I love you like I would have loved my mom,” Felicia replied sobbing quietly while
Mrs Kate smiled and cleaned her tears
“Baby, sometimes we don't need to fight. We just go along with whatever wave life throws at us. Who knows what might happen?” Mrs Kate encouraged her and Felicia hugged her again as she said,
“No one knows where our happiness lies. You might just find yours now.” they were still in the mother daughter mood before a maid came and knocked before informing them that the guests have arrived making them cut their conversation short.
Fyneface looked around the mansion before looking at the man who ushered them in as he led them straight to the dinning room where a couple was already waiting for them. His parents greeted them and he realized that they were his in-laws to be so Fyneface and my his brother Newstyle greeted them politely. They all sat down waiting for the bride to come but Fyneface frowned in displeasure.
"Who is she to keep me waiting like this" Fyneface asked no one in particular because his parents had already started discussing with the bride's family.
“Hello big bro, smile so you don't chase your new bride away with that face,” Newstyle said which made Fyneface glare at him.
"Why did God not make me an only child because life would have been easier without this brother of mine" Fyneface complained and Newstyle laughed but the sound of the door opening stopped Fyneface from punching Newstyle in the face.
Fyneface turned to look at the person who walked in which he assumed was his wife to be but his mouth opened down in shock then abruptly he stood and shouted,
“Dad I reject this marriage" Fyneface said as he stared at the lady that came in.
"Is this the woman dad wants me to marry? I would rather die than marry an ugly bitch like this lady and why did she apply so much makeup on her face?.
She looks so horrible and I'm certain I'll die if I'm to stay with her for just a second. Fyneface said as he looked at his mum grumpily.
"She said she trusts dad's judgement earlier but I don't because dad's taste is bad. He got married to a beautiful woman like my mom but he wants me to get married to an ugly lady" Fyneface complained inwardly as he was visibly angry.
“That's not the bride my son If that's what you're thinking. She's Sharon, the bride's elder sister and my older daughter,” Mr Badmus said and Fyneface breathed in looking relieved.
“Badmus, please pardon my son's rudeness,” Mr Ken pleaded
“It's nothing, Felicia will be here soon”
"Felicia, so that's the name of my bride to be, I hope she's as beautiful as her name sounds because I don't want a younger version of the fool smiling at me.
She's not even making an attempt to hide her flirty smile isn't she aware that I'm her brother in-law to be?
Fyneface thought and turned to his brother about to say something when the door opened again and his brother's mouth opened when he looked towards the direction of the door. Fyneface turned around to see what stunned Newstyle so much that he couldn't close his mouth.
Then behold, he saw her looking like a beautiful angel in a stunning black gown looking so beautiful. Fyneface also opened his mouth because she's as beautiful as her name sounds.
“Fyneface, do you still want to reject this marriage?” His mum asked chuckling at his reaction towards Felicia's appearance but he hurriedly shook his head indicating 'no. Fyneface lack words to say but there's no way he'll reject this marriage when it includes an angel like this beauty at least, their sex life is guaranteed to be great. but Fyneface noticed she frowned when he indicated that he agreed to the marriage.
When Sharon walked into the room earlier, she was astonished to see one of the eligible bachelors in the sitting room right there at their dining room.
"Oh my God, why didn't dad say that the groom was Fyneface Ken? I've been crushing on this guy and of course his money for like forever. I can't believe mom was right because I literally handed over a pot of gold to Felicia and If she eventually gets married to Fyneface, she will be superior over me and I can't ever let that happen. I'm never going to let that happen" Sharon said angrily.
"When he said he rejected the marriage, I knew it was because of how my face looked and he thought I was the bride and I felt a little bit upset. If it were my previous beautiful face before that bitch destroyed it, he wouldn't be able to resist my charm and all this is happening because of that bitch. Sharon thought inwardly
She looked at Fyneface who was staring at Felicia without blinking and Sharon decided not to let this pot of gold escape from her hands.
"I made a terrible mistake and if I don't fix it now, I won't get to fix it again" Sharon said to herself assuredly and glanced at her mum who was staring at Fyneface and Felicia with an unhappy look on her face.
Felicia frowned again as she noticed that Fyneface was still looking at her. He was staring at her like he was about to undress her with his eyes.
"Out of all the men out there, dad had to get me married to the number one playboy in the city who changes women like diapers. He's always on headlines with different ladies all the time" Felicia lamented.
“Why don't we give them some time alone together so they'll get to know each other better?” Mr Ken said and Felicia was about rejecting the idea but Fyneface immediately said yes and pulled her away from the room.
“Aww, see how eager he is” his mum said as they left the room.
“Hey” Fyneface was about saying something when Felicia interrupted,
“Look I don't want to get married at least not to a Playboy like you.” but Fyneface chuckled and replied
“Then what are we going to do now? because I want to get married to you” He emphasized the word 'MARRIED'
“I'm supposed to be in Uni studying and not getting married,” Felicia remarked angrily and he looked at her with a shocked look
"College? wait how old are you?” Fyneface asked Felicia
“I just turned nineteen last month,” Felicia answered rolling her eyes then he walked closer to her but she took a step backwards.
He looked at her from head to toe staring at some certain places before he reached out and touched her breast then she gasped and slapped his hands away.
“You don't look like you're nineteen because your curves are well shaped and you look ripe enough for plucking,” Fyneface said smirking at her while she shuddered at his shamelessness.
“I'm warning you now, you have to break up this marriage thing or you will regret marrying me,” Felicia said angrily as he took more steps forward and she walked backwards until her back touched the wall.
He smirked and walked closer putting his hands on the wall. Before lowering his face towards hers.
