Forced to love

007

"It's actually his business, let him do what he things it right, it the Jerome's thing, they do their will. Don't put yourself at risk or me in one!" Perry said looking into Roselyn eye.

"How many men would agree to marry a divorcee? How many Perry?

You should know more about our customs and traditions, divorced women are rated to be characterless, p********e, flirt and lot more. She is married to a Jerome, it would be hard for her to cope," Roselyn said.

"Wait! Whatever must be his plan, it should be after the party, not now

And marrying a divorced woman, I would if I really do love her!" Perry said smiling at his wife.

"Are you sure you know this family?

Mr Jerome has left a legacy of being the most honest business man in Nigeria and everyone believes in him and his family. If an accusations is laid on her, it will stay for ever, not only to her, all her family would be characterized as such," Roselyn said angrily.

"Relax bae, Alfred might do no such thing today, have you noticed how obsessed Alfred is with his wife?" Perry replied laughing, he and his wife, looking downstairs where they stood, dancing as if the were attached to each other.

"How about the strange man, and he looks pretty poor and unhealthy, I would say he was a bodyguard but his poor appearance can tell me he isn't." Roselyn said.

"So what do you want me to do?" Perry asked as Roselyn stared at him, with a wide smile on his chin.

"Don't tell me you want me to follow them up?" Perry added looking at her as she said nothing.

"s**t!" He said

"Am not going to do that," perry said.

"Please....."

"No....."

"Please, please....." She pleased, trying to convince him.

"No!"

"How about a son?"

"Huh?" Perry responded.

"Help me find out about her, In exchange for a son" she responded.

"Funny, but you

Know I don't want a son yet" he replied, laughing intensely.

"Okay babe, do it for your lovely wife. That man might be harmful and might hurt Grace.

They are so many media men hear, looking for information to upload on their boring block and Grace cannot be a topic for them," she said.

"I know babe, how exactly do you want me to gather an information about them?" Perry asked his wife.

"Right! Here is your phone, use it to make a video of them, what ever the say or do should be recorded," she said handing the phone to him.

"What were you doing with my phone and when did you remove it?" Perry asked.

"When you were busy discussing with another girl, I had to check on the new update on your phone!" Roselyn said.

"What! Babe you know I can never cheat on you,"

"Ya I knew until you started discussing with your friend about sending Grace away," Roselyn responded.

"Are you comparing me to Alfred?" Perry asked.

"Why should I, you should know I would have caused trouble here," Roselyn responded.

"Go already," she added moving downstairs with Perry.

Perry was very unwilling to do this, he and Alfred has been friends for more than twenty years now, why would he spy on his personal decision of divorcing his wife?

"Babe, I will not be able to do this, Grace is a friend to both of us but Alfred is my best friend, it is his choice to divorce his wife, let's not get ourselves into this. I know your hurt that your innocent friend might be heart broken but let's keep ourselves from trouble, I know how Alfred treats his emery, remember he is my friend and a billionaire we are just related by luck, am sorry" Perry said pecking her and moving down.

"You may be seated as we welcome Mrs Agnes Jerome to give a speech," the master of ceremony said as they all clapped, taking a seat.

Alfred shifted a chair an kept it well, helping Grace to sit.

"Thank you," Grace responded surprised of how caring Alfred was this evening.

"You're welcome," he responded sitting beside her.

"Good evening everyone," she greeted as the crowd responded same.

"First of all, I'll like to thank you all for squeezing out time out of your busy schedule to make this day special for me. Indeed, I am the happiest person to have such turn ups of friends and love once. Once again, a very big thank you.

I would like to give special thanks to my husband, Mr Jerome, the one who made it possible for all this.

We have been by each other, in good time and in the bad once and have grew a lovely family together.

Same as my sons, Alfred and David and my lovely daughter in-law, Amanda," she brakes and swallow.

The whole crowd started murmuring, about her not mentioning Grace.

"Excuse me ma'am, I need to talk to you upstairs," The laundry man said to Grace, walking his way up as grace joined him

"Is everything okay sir?" Grace asked being that his body was trembling.

"If you are sick, feel free to go, I'll cover up for you," Grace added, turning to walk away.

"Am not sick, I have an information for you," he responded bas Grace turned back.

"Yes......" She said trying her best to speed him up, she was already bored of the suspense.

"Cynthia has a plan against you, whatever the plan is, Alfred knows same as his best friend perry," the old man said.

"Do you mean Cynthia, my husband's business partner?" Grace asked.

"Yes, I think they are more than just a business partner," the old man said.

"So what do you want me to do now?" She asked.

"I don't know, I am just informing you that their is a conspiracy against you," the old man said walking done stair.

".......... Once again i would like to say.......... " She stop by a loud cry.

"Who is he?" Everyone muttered as he moves forward.

If there is one thing Agnes hates, it's low class touching him.

"Where are the guards?" She shouted as the man fell on his knees.

"Am so sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to disrespect you, I was informed my wife was here," the man said.

"Oh my God it's that man that was with Cynthia," Roselyn said to perry moving forward.

"So what do you think you're doing? I thought we had 5alked about this, there is no way you'll get yourself involved in this," Perry responded dragging her back.

"Who is your wife?" Mrs Agnes asked as he walked closer to Mr Travis, kneeling Infront of him.

"Father in-law, how could you do this to me, I just left your daughter for a week to go hustle, coming back, my Gracia wasn't around, you took my wife and gave it to Alfred because he is rich," he said as Mr Travis turned to his friend Jerome who was also surprised to hear such.

Mr Travis felt so embarrassed, the press men focusing their camera on him.

"What is happening here?" Grace asked surprised of how everyone stood especially at the man who knelt down before her father.

"Dad, what is happening here?" She asked again as the man stood up kneeling before her grabbing her two legs.

"Am so sorry Grace, what ever I did to you, forgive me," he said standing to his feet and cleaning the tears he faked.

"Tell me why you left me, is it because of him? Grace, you have disordered my life, I waited for you to come back, called you millions of times and your number didn't go through, for two years Grace, two!" He said.

Grace turned around and noticed the cameras were all focused on her, she broke down crying.

"Alfred, you need to believe me, I don't know this man from any......" She stops remembering what the old man had said concerning Alfred. She froze speechless looking into Alfred's fake innocent and angry eye, tears running down her chin.

"Why did you all deceive us, am so disappointed in you," Alfred said.

This words annoyed Grace greatly that she couldn't stop herself from giving him a slap.

"How dare you?" Mrs Agnes said giving Grace a slap.

"Is that what you give to me after harbouring a Slut like you in my house,"

"That's enough Agnes!" Mr Jerome said.
