UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH MY EX-HUSBAND

Brimmed with excitement Lisa's Pov Laughing at Sunkisses as I snapped photos before boarding my flight, returning home has never felt more thrilling and accomplished than it does now that I have this degree. I can just picture my father's face lighting up when I show him this. "Get seated and put on your belt because the plane will be leaving in the next 15 minutes," a cute female hostess announced regarding our departure. My mind drifted to the memories I shared back with my family. Despite my stepmother in the picture, I enjoyed every bit of my stay there. Sweat beads on my forehead as we raced to our destination "Woah, we finally landed after two hours of landing problems," I exclaimed with a sigh of relief. "Hello, Sir," I said as I approached the young man standing nearby. Please, I am having trouble contacting my driver; could you please show me the nearest place to board a car? I apologize for the inconvenience, sire. “Have you gone nuts or something?” The man said as he turned to me in a very cold and strange demeanor. What have you done wrong now Lisa? , My subconsciousness voiced out "Apologies for the trouble. I was really lost that is why I approached you, and if you were unable to assist me, you ought to have simply stated so," I yelled as I turned to leave. “Go girlie!” I echoed softly, grinning subtly. I quickly drifted from there, calling my dad to help me call the driver. We started heading towards the house after the driver arrived in a short while. As we approached the house, my cheeks lifted and my lips parted in an uncontrollable smile. The environment changed Shouts of "Home sweet home!" left my mouth as I stretched my limbs approaching the mansion. In the hopes of receiving my father's tender and warm embrace, I hurried inside. “Hello Dad, ” As my dad stroked my hair, my arms moved to push him into a cozy embrace. Welcome Lisa, I hope you had a good trip. Dad said with a bit of worry on his face as his expression changed drastically “Dad, are you well?” Checking his temperature with my hands moving all over his body, I asked. “I'm fine Dad said in a hushed voice, "Lisa, he shoved my hands off his cheeks. I need to talk to you about something important. Come on, get up and meet me right here." “What could be going wrong with Dad ?”I questioned my imagination as I pondered on what could be the problem After taking a quick shower in my room, I hurried to see my father. "Have a seat, Lisa," Dad said. I am glad you are back home, and we have the intention of getting you married in a few months. That nausea feeling on me with my hands covered on my mouth after hearing what he said “Who is getting married, Dad”? I questioned. I do not understand married off, let alone marrying. You, off course Lisa No, I would not do so, dad. Ever since my life I have been obeying your rules but I wouldn't obey this You have no other choice, Lisa! "You can not back out," Dad said emotionlessly as his fist collided with the table with a sharp thud. I fidgeted with the hem of my dress, my fingers tapping rhythmically against my thighs. Be prepared to be disowned if you do not comply. What has come over you, Dad? I came back home with joy to see everyone happy with smiling faces and you are welcoming me with a strange news "I least expected this from you, to be honest, and who is this man you want to give me off to?" I questioned him, my eyes blazing with rage. Walking away from a fight has been a defensive mechanism for me, but I would not dare walk away from him. He is the man you have been betrothed to right from childhood and in his nature he is the only well-raised man I know who can take care of you aside from me. “What do you mean well raised? Dad!!! I shouted” I came back with Joy presenting a degree and my engagement ring “Engagement ring”? He asked Get rid of him or it will prompt me too Prompt him to do what? Just like you always did, bribe them off? You are marrying into Damien's family, and my decision is final, Dad said, leaving me at a loss for what to do. Yes, I have been engaged for two months, I adore my fiance, and I came home hoping to tell you what a wonderful person he is. "Lisa, do not dare to disobey or you will not like my reaction to you and your lover," and also... Dad said, "Get ready for a dinner at their place tomorrow; they can not wait to see you." He walked out. I had no idea what it was like to feel this pain and what it did to me; my heart burned with instant hatred as tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched my world crumble into two parts. My dad's decision has always been final, For him to say something of this nature he has thought it thoroughly. The door opened as my stepmother and sister walked in "Good morning, ma'am." I greeted with a low tone, trying to avoid constant sobbing from the constant tears. "No need to ask about your welfare; you already look okay," she said, smiling mischievously. The thudding sound on the stairs case became louder as we saw my dad coming down, and her expression immediately changed. Hey honey, Lisa is back, and I prepared something delicious she would enjoy. Let us get to the dining already. Lisa pulled me into her arms as we walked to the dining room. You would love this food already. The atmosphere in the dining room was thick with an uneasy stillness as my father's eyes and mine met; you could feel the jolt of electricity pass between us as the silence fought rage within me as I gulped my wine, hoping it would instantly wash away the pain I felt. “Uh um..” My stepmother broke the silence So Lisa, what's your plan currently? Should you return to the company or figure things out for yourself? “She will be preparing for her wedding before anything else” Dad replied “What wedding!?”my step-sister Rita asked Sh e will be marrying into Damien's family. What!!! My stepsister screamed as she dropped the fork in her grip.
