The Billionaire Bargain Bride

Daddy, I know you are trying to hold this family together during this trying times, but this is not the time to joke with things like this, not when mummy is battling with her life, her voice rosed, and we are all praying for her to recover and get back to good health, I am not joking about this, dad said with a strong voice, looking directly at her, to see what her responses will been, all of a sudden, the entire house went silent, for more than a minute long , it was all stare, Sandra staring at her father with a face of shock and disbelieve, looking directly into his eyes, wondering where all of this is coming from, and why now, she still did not say a word, trying to process what she just heard coming from her father, she still could not rap her head around it, she stood up from the chair moved closely to her father, wanted to touch him by his shoulders, but remove her hand half way through, as she wonders who was the man seating in front of her, unrecognizable to her, she asked after a long silent, who are you? Because my father that I know will never ask of something this ridiculous from me, I am going to see mummy in the hospital, she said while standing up from her sit. With the look of confusion in her face, she walked out, jamb the door with an unbelievable force, so much, that the noise could be head from building away, with a deep regret in his face, what have I done, Mr. Williams said to himself, there are better ways to handle conversations like this, Williams you did not do this the right way, what do I do now? how do I handle this situation? Who do I speak to? Or seek advice from, will my daughter hate me forever now? How can a man ruin his beautiful family with his own hand, I did not imagine it will be this difficult when I had this agreement with Mr. Oliver, William do you know the magnitude of what you are about doing, marrying of your daughter to James Oliver not because she is in love with him, but because you borrowed money from him to save the life of your wife, and now you are unable to pay back the loan, William do you know what you are about doing, he asked himself? You are about to use your daughter to settle a loan. He screamed with a loud voice, God, how did I get to this point? Asking nobody but himself, what do I do now? I cannot go back on my word now, can I, he asked himself, Williams do not be stupid, you have a signed agreement to this fact, is this even lawful in our constitution? He asked himself again, Williams even if you win the case in court, what do you think, will be the reaction of James Oliver out of the law? William do not further endanger the life of your family member, you have caused enough commotion for one day, he advice himself, I cannot pull out of this agreement or betrayal James Oliver, if I do, he will come after my family, and he will spare anyone of them. Williams, he called himself, how do you explain to your wife, that you use her only daughter as a collateral for a loan regarding her treatment, Williams you are dead, he said, concede yourself death, in what world , do you explain to your wife that is in coma, that her only daughter has been used to borrow a loan, William you have failed your wife, you have failed your family, and you have failed humanity, Williams, you have failed as a husband, and as a father, above all you have failed God, in one of the most important assignment given by God, to be a father, a provider and a protector, you have failed in all, he said as he slowly walked into his room, as he closed the door behind himself, he repeat, Williams, you are a failure. Sandra was still heavily worried on her way to visit her mother in the hospital, who was in a critical condition, still trying to make it, make sense, what she just heard, and from whom she heard it from, is my father trying to use me as a collateral to the loan collected for mummy treatment? My own father, she wondered again, and why me, out of all his children, she asked? Is it because I am the only daughter? Is that why he treating me like am some pics of wood, that does not deserve respect and dignity, she asked to herself again, how would mummy feel when she wakeup to hear about this, how would she handle news like this, in her delicate condition, I have asked myself this question over and over again, without any form of answer coming from anywhere, she thought to herself. Take, surprise and wondering who was talking to her, she quickly adjusted herself, and said yes, Cabman… Replied, it is water, it will help you relax a little, cabman handing a bottle of water to her. Sandra…. Replied, with a soft turn, thank you sir, while collecting the bottle of water from the cabman. Cabman… I hope the water will help you relax a bite, you look worried and over stress, says the cabman. Sandra…. Is it that obvious, Sandra asked the cabman? Cabman… As clear as a day, Sandra gave him a half smile and said, thank you once again for the water sir. Cabman… Replied and said, do you know, that too many worries, can cause a high blood pressure {PB} and if left unchecked can lead to pasture strook, meaning half paralysis of the body, and God would really be upset with the whole world by that. Sandra… Why if I may ask, Sandra, looking surprised at the cabman. Cabman… Because he allowed such a blessed soul, to leave heaven and join us here on earth, and instead of being a blessing to us, we humans have affected her with our sinful nature, sickness and worries. Sandra…. Still surprised, she asked, Jesus was never sick on his time on earth, did he? Cabman… I was not talking about Jesus. Sandra… Then who are you talking about, she asked again. Cabman … You. Sandra… Laughing, you got me right their sir, no I did see that coming, she said while laughing. Sandra... Continued, I have a lot going on in my life right now, a sick mother, critically ill in the hospital, and a father, that I do not understand anymore, making a life charging decision, without consulting or seeking anyone else opinion, a single decision, that have taken my entire life out my control, with her voice rising, she quickly calms her voice down, by taking a zip of the water. Sandra… Sorry about that sir, I get angry while talking about it, I do not know why am telling you about it, she said with low voice. Cabman... Sometimes it better to express yourself with stranger, you might never see or hear from ever again, it brings relieves and peace of mind, the cabman said. Sandra… Whose father on this earth, uses one of his own for gambling? She asked looking through the taxi window. Cabman… You know my dad once told me, he said son, you will not understand half of my decision now, but a day will come, when I will be no more, gone, six feet below, situation will arise that will make you appreciate, and understand those of my decisions, you did not understand earlier, because then you will be wearing the shoes, you will be responsible for a lot of persons in your life, you will understand then that sometimes, a man only has one opportunity to make those life charging decision, and those decision will either make or break the man, some of them will be good, others the man will regret for the rest of his life, but one thing is for sure, there were made from a place of love and sacrifice for their family, I did not understand then, but now I do. Sandra… So sorry sir. Cabman… It fine, he passed few years ago, madam your dad loves you, even in this difficult decision that seems hard to understand. Cabman… We are at the hospital, he reminded her. Sandra… Thank you so much sir, I really needed somebody to talk to, I did feel good talking to stranger, she said with a smile at her face. Cabman… You are welcome, dear, I will be praying for mother speedy recovery. Sandra… Thank you, sir with a smile on her face as she walked off. Good afternoon mummy, mummy please when are you going to come out of this coma, it been weeks since you last responded to my greeting like you normally do, I miss you mummy, I miss you so much, seeing you in this condition is breaking my heart every day, the pain has become unimaginable for me, everything does not look as it seem before, everything is changing fast around here, less I forget mummy, I do not understand what daddy is trying to do, by telling me , I am to get married to one of his business associate, James Oliver, because he borrowed money from him for your treatment, I must get married to him, please you have to get up and handle this situation, because I do not know if daddy is serious or joking, as promises you the last time, I will not cry again, but you have to promises me, that you will get well soon, as she was about cleaning her tears, she feat a gentil grab of her hand, fully surprised with the hand grab, she shouted with a loud voice doctor.
