After she signed the documents given to her by Mr Dre's lawyer, she wasn't happy that she would be staying with Dre. ‘How can I stay with this rude and arrogant man?’ she said to herself angrily. But she had no choice but to save her daughter.
That's all madam, you are now married to Mr. Dre he is now your husband. You can kiss him now to seal the marriage.
The lawyer demanded.
Kiss him..m? Alison stammered, her eyes looking at Mr Dre's lips.
Yes, he is now your husband, the lawyer said. Kiss him so the marriage can be sealed.
The lawyer's words hung in the air like a challenge. "To seal the marriage, a kiss is required."
Alison's heart sank. She didn't want to kiss Mr. Dre, didn't want to be trapped in this loveless union. But her daughter's fate hung in the balance, and she had no option.
Mr. Dre's eyes mirrored her reluctance, his expression cold and detached. He didn't want to kiss her either, but the contract had to be sealed.
With a sense of duty, Alison leaned in, her lips pursed in a stiff, formal pose. Mr. Dre met her halfway, his lips barely grazing hers in a swift, passionless peck.
But as they pulled back, their eyes locked in a tense stare, the air seemed to vibrate with unspoken tension. The kiss may have been brief, but it left a spark between them.
The lawyer jammed his hands together as he clapped with a smiling face to the latest couple. I therefore pronounce you husband and wife. He congratulated the couple and left.
"After the awkward kiss, Mr. Dre's demeanor changed. He became strict and cold towards Alison, his voice firm as he called his PA. 'I want you to follow her home and bring her to my house today,' he instructed. 'And give her the money she requested for her daughter's treatment. I don't care if it's a loan or a gift, just make sure she gets it.'
His PA nodded, sensing the tension in the air. 'Yes, sir. Right away.'
Move in with you today..? Alison asked. She tried to protest, but Mr. Dre's expression silenced her. She knew she had no choice but to comply, at least for now.
As she left the office with his PA, she couldn't help but wonder what she had gotten herself into…”
Mr Jude sent the money required for her daughter's health and Alison was very happy, she screamed for Joy, she was full of life again. She took her purse immediately and left for the Hospital. She arrived at the hospital with a smile on her face, got to the reception, and requested to see the doctor, she was directed to the doctor's office.
‘Knock, can I come in’? Alison said confidently, ‘yes you can’, the doctor replied without knowing who was speaking.
She enters the office, ‘Good morning sir, how is my daughter today’?
‘Good day madam, your daughter is already on the list for a heart transplant, when u make payment we commence the transplant surgery immediately’. Alison smiled, she deep her hand in her bag and gave him the complete amount needed for the transplant.
The doctor collected the money in shock counted it and it was complete. Thank you, madam, I will schedule her surgery in the afternoon.
Okay sir, as long as my daughter will be fine.
‘She will be fine’, the doctor said, assuring her that her daughter will be fine.
Can I see her pls, yes you can. He took Alison to her daughter's ward, and she went inside and saw her daughter.
Ariel dear, you will be okay? The doctor will start the surgery immediately okay?
Her daughter was happy to see her but she was passing through pains
Okay, mummy, I miss my brother and sister and I miss you too.

She came out of the hospital, a cab was already waiting for her. Mrs. Dre are you through, yes my dear am through.
Okay, ma'am, we have to go to your house now, your husband instructed me to help you move out today so you can move into his house today.
But why the rush, she asked the driver,

Welcome ma, the nanny greeted, how are you my dear, am fine ma. ‘Can I have a word with you please’, Alison said. ‘yes sure ma’ the nanny replied. Okay meet me in my room, the nanny was surprised and confused. Yes ma, the nanny said.
‘Knock’, the nanny said at Alison's room door standing.
‘Yes come in my dear’, Alison said
‘My dear am sorry it's urgent but I will be moving out of this house’, the nanny was surprised, as she opened her mouth wide
It's urgent dear, take your bag and leave. I won't be needing your services any longer. She took money from her bag and gave the nanny, okay ma I will buy I will miss you. Don't worry dear we will keep in touch the nanny said as tears almost ran her eyes. She hugged her and left.
Alison and her children moved out of her house and were taken to Mr Dre's beautiful mansion, she was happy though she will be enjoying life and her children will enjoy again.
Mr Dre threw a small party that day in the house for the marriage as they exchanged rings and vows.
After the party as Alison was retiring back to her room, a call came in from the hospital
