HIS EX'S VENGEFUL RETURN

CHAPTER 4

I can't wait to finish this school and finally have my rest, it has always been a tiring journey almost every day.

I was preparing for my final exams today, I was very elated.

Time to wave school goodbye. The happiness in my heart knew no bounds.

I listened carefully, I wasn't hearing any noise anywhere. My parents have been a pain in the neck these few days, especially Dad.

I have been avoiding my dad since we last argued.

I couldn't forgive him for making me go late to school the other day, causing me to Meet my Waterloo, Demian, and I ended up missing my classes.

Funny enough that was all for the day, it brings pains in my chest. I have a sigh trying to get my mind off it.

I lift myself from the bed and reach out to my desk to scan through my books once again.

"Maya darling, can I come in?" A sweet voice chipped from outside.

I sighed. finally!! He has come to find me, my Dad would know how to sweet talk anytime we argue.

I drag my feet to open the door and let him in.

"How are you sweetie" he smiles at me cheerfully.

"I'm okay" I shrugged dryly. I'm not even set on this conversation right now.

I roll my eyes away from him.

We sit beside each other on my bed and he places his hands on my shoulders.

I shake my head and look away from him to avoid his eyes.

"Come on Maya, are you still angry with me? You can't do that to Daddy, you know that right?"

I frowned still looking away

"What is it, Dad, it's obvious you're not here for nothing"

"All right darling, I'm sorry okay?"

I can't afford to keep a long face forever, I chuckle at him.

"It's okay."

"So I have something, I want to tell you, don't look at me that way, it's good news" he tried to reassure me.

I relax my almost wrinkled face and listen to him.

"You know you're such a beauty, forget my behavior these days, that causes me to look older than yourself, you're such a beautiful soul and Dad is always proud of you"

I'm blushing already, I'm glad he knows he's in some pain at times.

"Dad, when did you start match-making people?"

I'm very curious at this point. I'm to get what he's driving at.

"Okay, so today we're having a family meeting today, do well not to go anywhere, I want to see you downstairs soon, do well to come out soon honey" he plants a kiss on my forehead.

"But dad!! I have somewhere to go" I protest.

"Shhh, no buts" my Dad hushes me

"Obey daddy first, daddy knows best remember?" He beamed.

"Okay, Dad" I sighed in surrender.

"That's my baby, see ya" he gleed out of my room.

This is suspicious, how could my dad spend so much on my education just to stop halfway without even caring to know how it progressing? I'm sure he's not even aware I'm finishing today.

No!! I can't let my dad ruin my beautiful dream about to come through.

I rack through my brain and devise a means on how to get through with my exams and this so-called meeting.

A smile formed my lips.

I have been listening attentively since my parents started talking, as cold as ever with a darkened expression.

"There's this billionaire friend of mine whose son just came back into the country, he wants to meet with you, why don't you try to Meet him? Come on, give your head a little bit of rest and have fun.

He has always asked of you and wants to meet you, I've told him a lot about you, he's a pretty decent and responsible person."

"He has a sister, In case you're thinking it's something else, I can't sell my precious daughter, not my beauty"

As if he already read my mind to know what I would ask next.

I wasn't saying anything.

My mum goes ahead

"Come on, you're a girl, go out and have some fun with our permission.

I know we have stressed you these few days, give it a try and cool off, I haven't seen males around you, who knows you might find this man as your long-awaited Mr.Right"

She coaxed and winked.

They sound very convincing I don't know why they're this nice but I agree with them, it's been rough for me, and I need to chill out.

But I need to finish my exams first.

"So, when am I supposed to meet them?" I ask eagerly trying to sway them into believing I'm in for it.

My dad scratches his head before going ahead, I feel like something is amiss.

"It's supposed to be today"

"What?" I scream,

"I don't have anything to wear, why didn't you tell me since? I should prepare."

My dad tells me that all that has been taken care of, and he gives me the location to get my hair styled and get clothes. They want to take me there I decline and decide to go with my friend Sandy.

They managed to listen to me.

I make arrangements and flee the house for my exams straight.

It took me an hour to finish my exams, I was very late when I got there, so I dashed to the location did my makeup, and got dressed. I meet an average-looking man dressed in black, who has been waiting for a while approaches me and introduces himself saying his master sent him to pick me up.

Based on my father's instructions I follow them assuming him to be the person he talked about.

Despacito Lounge was one of the most expensive places around Ontario, a very Serene environment screaming elegance and beauty in the air.

I walked in gracefully scanning the restaurant My sharp eyes settled at a certain corner, and I picked up my pace and walked over.

He wasn't even here yet. I heave a sigh. The waiter suddenly approached me with a tray carrying a wine and a glass.

"You're welcome, Miss. It is our pleasure to have you, the young master has asked us to serve you with a drink, please enjoy"

She smiled sweetly.

I furrowed my brows

"Your master knows me?

"Yes, please enjoy" she replied and walked away.

This meeting was going to be a sweet one even before it started.

As I took a sip of the wine, I looked around, a figure came toward the table. Handsome, dark curly hair and piercing eyes, Pointed nose, thin lips, an extraordinary Noble aura that displayed ostentatiously.

That was the description Dad gave me.

There was no lady anywhere like he said.

My entire body stiffened, for some seconds, puzzles seemed to form a great piece.

My hands turned into a fist on my lap.

My arch-sworn enemy, Damian, My anger was rising, I swear, I was going to kill Dad when I got home.

He just set me up.

He approached me with a cocky grin.

"Hope, I didn't keep you waiting, Do you like the drink? I'm sure you do"

I looked at him and gritted my teeth.

"You?"
