Accidental Bride

Chapter 4

Crying in anguish and pain Phil Bruce walked the cold lonely street with no money, no plan not even the slightest iota of what would come up next or what her ate is, as tears rolled down her eyes saying I would make them pay for all the hurtful things they have done to me, I would come to in a grand style but how I don’t know but I would surely be avenged.

A car stopped in front of her and four men jumped out of it, grabbed her and pulled her into it after being met with a forceful refusal by Phil but due to their numbers she was over powered and they got their wish as the car sped off into the dark without a trace or anyone’s knowledge

On the way home I was not comfortable, it felt like something was not right like something bad was about to happy, as if I was going home to sleep and never to be awaken anymore and so it dawned on me that death was looming around the corner waiting to snatch my soul from this feeble body, in this state I thought to myself why not make peace and apologize to the young lady and make sure you soul is free and void of any condemnation before you die even if you do not want to marry her or might not have the time to do so why not treat her right this one last time . Take me to the Bruce residence; I have an unfinished business with them. Yes sir he responded sharply, giving the order to the driver in a rather calm tone sensing that I really didn’t need much noise and talks.

Getting to the Bruce residence I met a chaotic atmosphere, it was like the war between two world powers had just taken place and they were shocked to see me. Pleasant evening Mr. Bruce said as he’s wife was trying to quickly put the living room in order, where’s Phil I need to speak with her immediately. Oh Mr. Jeff is already love struck, how charming the wife replied but she just ran away from the house because she thought you were going to kill us all since she refused to marry you and for fear of whom you are and how powerful you are she ran off. Sir our daughter is missing on your account. We need to report this to the police and you are going to be held response and we would charge this matter to court suing you for this. I Would drag you all over the place and make sure the world gets to know that since you couldn’t get any of the elite family to give their daughters hand in marriage to you, you have decided to take ours by force, the world would hear my cry and would come after you Mr. Jeff You’re trying to oppress us with your personality, power and wealth to forcefully marry our daughter against her own will, she cried in a pretentious voice that’s how I would act in front of the media, except you reward us with a sum of 10 million then we would search for her ourselves quietly and no one would ever get to know about it. It should be 15 million honey, remember we have a project to round up on 10 million would not be enough Mr. Bruce cut in. How come, when did this happen. Waving to my assistant not paying attention to their theatrics, get our people to go look for her and make sure they find her without harm tonight get the word out to our partner in the broadcast media to find her, Offer a 20 million reward for anyone who has any helpful information as to her whereabouts, get to it now. I screamed. Sir that money should be given to us to help mobilize so as to be able to search for our daughter ourselves and not offered to strangers we would be efficient and quiet about this no one needs to know we would suggest you keep it from the media, they both cried. In fact I’m coming with you, this can’t be happening right now, not at this moment I have made up my mind to make peace and atone for my sins, she cannot go missing no, not tonight I said as we moved to the car to start the search, as I felt a sharp pain towards the abdominal region of my body and it felt like my heart stopped for a split second. This is the death that had being looming around it has finally come knocking I said. It is over I said as a I leaned into my chair with the lights fading really fast I have to die strong, no one needs to know, I don’t want their pity I’d rather I pretended to be ok, I said to myself without the knowledge of anyone not even my assistant who was sited beside me but something amazing happened as the lights faded it was an image of the fat little princess, that was the last thing I saw before the lights went out finally.
