Distinct
She quickly completes the bath and rushes out only to see no one, she looks round and finds a write up on her bed with a card. Get these stuff for the house later in the day, have a nice day.
Chi! So it was mom that scared me like that ! I thought it was something else, why the strange behavior, why can't she answer when I asked who was there? She felt dodgy, but later continued dressing.
Sally's father is in the living room working on his system in search of work, and having conversations with his friends.
This's a good time to have a discussion with this man, she thought to herself as she was eating, let me hang around till he's done.
One hour later she had a chance to have a dialogue with her father.
“Dad, why do you decide to marry me out against my will? Why do you think it is best you choose a partner for me in this century?
I'm a complete being, I can do all I want by myself, I could choose who to marry, and who not to. I'm sure it's all my stepmom's plan, my dad I know isn't a selfish man” Sally said with a lot of hunger in her.
“No daughter, count your stepmom out of this, it's all about the family at large.
Your stepmom loves you, and wants what is best for you, don't see her as being wicked in this matter, it is you who shouldn't be selfish.
I need you at the moment to save me from the shame that is about to come on me, save your brother's future and the whole family.” Mr Bulletin responded.
“Do you care about me being a happy person dad ! Did you realize this is my future,and my life.” Sally said softly.
“Yes, I do, that's why I secured it for you daughter,” he responded. “ In what way dad?” Sally yelled at his father.
“By getting married to a billionaire and having your desired life, money solves problems, dear daughter. And by changing the status of your family for Life.
I love you Sally, and that's why I use you to fix yourself and the family. Thank you for your understanding. I'm done having this conversation, good day daughter.” Bulletin said as he stood up and walked out.
Sally went straight to her room and cried for a while, so Dad too can be like this, he had finally agreed to scatter my dreams.
Few hours later, the entrance bell rings, Sally opens the door and she's surprised to see her good old friend Stew. She shouted, see who is here ! They hug and get her in.
“Good to see your face again girlfriend, it's been a while, how are things, hope you are doing great ?” Stew asked. “Yes, yes I'm good.” Sally responded.
“Babe I got plenty of gists for you, I was just enjoying myself, moving from one country to another catching fun, oh girl ! Life is good.” Stew giggled.
Sally chuckled, “yes darling”. “Do you remember that friend of mine Della, she got married like two weeks ago. Sally the party was great, if you see the set of people that came for the party, important people in the society.
Billionaire Derick was also present together with his group of friends.” Stew engulfed. Sally shifts and feels irritated, she hates hearing that name. “Money solves problems babe” Sally said smiling.
“Babe, I just wish Derick or any of his friends would ask for a date, " Stew shouted ! I will grab it with all my life, all I want is a stress free life.
Can I get something to drink please? I'm thirsty,” Stew with a serious look on her face.
Sally stood up to get some water for them to drink,while stem is talking to herself
It seems they are going through a lot at the moment, everywhere isn't looking as it used to, even Sally is not looking cheerful,anyway, all will be well soon, sorry about that dear.
Sally returned with two glasses of water, and handed one to stew, while she took the other one.
“What's your plan? Can we go out together, I need to get some stuff for the house”. Sally asked
“Yes, from there I will go home.” Stew responded. Sally got her list and card, “okay ! Let go,” she said. They were gusting as they walked down to the place.
Sally talking, stew will you believe my parents want me to marry against my will.
“Really! but why and to who?” Stew asked
“To save the current condition of the family.” She responded.
“How will your marriage save the condition of your family? Why not go out, and look for a job instead ? You and your brother should get something done, before your Dad gets back on his feet.” Stew said.
“So who is the lucky guy that wants to have my beautiful, decent friend as a wife? Stew teased, I trust your Dad though, he will choose wisely for you, he loves you with all his life. Stew said calmly.
“Billionaire Williams's son,” Sally said sadly.
Stew smiles lightly, but feels uncomfortable within her.” That's billionaire Derick now, oh my God! Babe you are made.” She said loudly
“I don't just like the whole plan, I have my dream and plan too.” Sally said furiously.
“ Please, who is in your plan, if I may ask? This is a golden opportunity babe, he's every lady's dream. Didn't you hear what I said in the house the other time?” She stopped for a while and continued.
“Don't you know how many companies he has with lots of workers working for him?
Do you know how much domestic stuff he has around the house, and his net worth? Think of the dignity that comes to your family being the in -laws of a billionaire, automatically you are rich.” She laughed out loud.
“Babe your dad is a darling, worship him everyday please. I can't wait for that day to come through. Congratulations girlfriend”, she said jokingly.
“What are you saying, stew! Someone I barely know, What if he doesn't love me, what if his family doesn't want me? Maybe he's a womanizer and the likes….
What if money doesn't solve the problems as you said, babe money is not everything”.
“I can marry someone who is not a billionaire, and I will still be fine, and as time goes on God will bless us, we will have our own money. You know material things don't move me, but right now, I choose to dance to my family’s tone.” Sally furiously
“You better do and enjoy your life. When is the billionaire coming to take us out?” She said jokingly.
They are on their way back home,stew has to go now. “alright babe, see you later, just be fine okay, my billionaire friend to be” she said smiling.
Stew lonely in the room talking to herself.
