Forced to love

006

"This is perfect," he muttered to him self working carefully and stopping infront of them.

"Alfred, what in the world did you do to my daughter?" Mrs Travis asked angrily, moving closer to them; she hates to see her child cry.

Parry was shocked at the sound of her voice so he moved as fast as possible before mrs Travis spot him.

She had a great recognition for people immediately she see you.

"What did she tell you?" He responded rudely.

"Respect me young man, I am your mother in-law so I deserve more than that!" Mrs Travis said angrily turning towards Cynthia who stood suspiciously staring at her.

"And who are you?" Mrs Travis asked as Cynthia sighed, working out at her.

Mrs Travis turns immediately to Alfred 

"Who the heck is that?" She said pointing at Cynthia.

Alfred stammered "she... She... She's a business partner," he responded as Mrs Travis sighed.

I want you to up and bring her down, which ever way. I know she's angry at you but I'll settle that," Mrs Travis said directing Alfred to the stairs.

Alfred sighed moving towards the stairs.

Grace came out of her room, working to the stairs ready to join the others downstairs.

"And where are you going?" Roselyn asked.

"Am going down, where else?" Grace responded, turning towards Roselyn.

"Grr," Roselyn muttered. "You are the first wife in this family and you deserve a grand entrance," 

"Seriously......." Roselyn cut in by switching off the circuit breaker.

The whole hall went mute, as the spotlight pointed at the direction where Grace stood.

She became tensed being the only center of attraction at the moment.

She moved slowly on the long stairs, one step before another so she wouldn't fall.

Her legs were already shaking and her heart wasn't bumping any more, sweat started coming out of her even when the temperature was cooled in there.

Her long red flow gown splitting Al the way up before her knee, exposing her naked skin. Her hair was amazing packed by Roselyn and saying Grace was beautiful is an understatement.

All eyes went widely opened, some in admiration and the others in amazement.

Alfred has never seen her that way, his mouth went widely opened at a glance of her.

He works closer giving her a hand to come down as she accepted with no hesitation.

Their glance at each other for sometimes, until their eye met.

"Who knew Grace could ever make him crazy,"

He pressed kisses to her lips as she try pushes him away but he hesitated, Grace slapped him hard as he woke up from his thoughts.

The light went on, as Graces saw the faces of everyone who had been staring at her. Her heart beat started, beating loudly and uncontrollably.

She tried moving her feet to the last stares but she slips, falling into Alfred's arm.

Everyone in the room started clapping, as he had cought her from falling, he smiled, still holding her to his body as he remembers the slap Grace gave to him in his imagination.

He left her slowly as she stood well on both feet.

"Wow, I have not seen any lovely couples as this two, please may we call on Mr and Mrs Jerome, to take the first dance tonight and secondly would be Mr Alfred and his wife," the master of ceremony said as everyone started clapping and some, laughing at the faces Mrs Agnes (Jerome) was making in surprise.

Roselyn spotted Cynthia, standing from afar off, staring at Alfred and Grace. 

"It saddens to know you're just a mistress, the wife is always showed to the public but a mistress, still remains unspotted," Roselyn said walking close to her.

" And what does that mean?" Cynthia asked, trying to hide her sad face by smiling awkwardly.

"So I wasn't, talking about you, I was just making a random speech for my audition as an actress, does those words look like you?" Roselyn said walking pass her as her face tightened in anger.

***********************************************

Alfred stared at Graces attractive face, his mouth mumbles, yarning for a kiss but he knew Grace wouldn't.

"What is this?" Amanda asked looking at the both of them staring at each other and their mind, went off.

"Hello, am talking to the both of you," Amanda said, waving her palms closer to their eyes as the blinked, turning to her.

"There's nothing romantic as a dance, everyone had already started dancing except from you two of you," Amanda said picking up Alfred's hands and placing them on Grace's waist and helping Grace by keeping her hands on Alfred's neck.

Grace slowly dropped her hands after Amanda had walked away, trying to Pull herself but felt stalked.

Alfred's arm held her too strong and sightly, Flirting his hands around her waist. His glare couldn't get off her. Grace has never felt such sensation, for the first time, she felt guided by Alfred.

Again, she tried pulling herself slowly to avoid calling attention but Alfred's grips was too strong to be broken slowly, it would take alot of effort to do that and she didn't want to call attention.

She looks up to see Alfred's reaction, but found his eyes, still staring.

She was tired of fighting already so she leaned onto Alfred as Alfred's eye went wide.

He list expected her to agree to dancing with him.

He slowly moves closer to her and leaning to her too. Their body clenching to each other.

Roselyn and Cynthia, still staring at each other.

Cynthia's face, frowning and Roselyn smiling and pointing towards Grace.

Cynthia turns towards the direction she pointed and saw Alfred and Grace. She sighed, walking away and dragging the Mendel with her.

Parry stood staring at his wife, for a moment she felt Perry had cut her but it's not a big issue though.

"Why are you staring that way at me?" Roselyn asked her husband who stair steadily at her.

"I can't just help myself from staring. Can I have this dance," he replied, bowing is head and straighting out his palms to her as she grabs, laughing at his funny action.

"How did the discussion go?" Roselyn asked, putting her both hand across Perry's shoulder as he held her waist, moving slow and steady, according to the sound of the music.

"Huh?" He asked pretending he didn't understand what she said knowing how his wife would react if she knows he heard nothing.

"Alfred and Cynthia," she said.

"Oh, they?" He responded giving her a weird look.

"Don't tell me you didn't hear anything!" Roselyn muttered angrily.

Perry didn't reply but stare at her as she pushes him away heading towards the stairs and perry, running after her.

"Babe, I would love to help Grace but also, Alfred is my friend and needs my support in whatever he does," parry said holding her wrist, dragging her to himself.
