Accidental Bride

Chapter 3

Dad there’s no way on earth would I get married to a crippled man, he’s disabled and not a cripple whatever dad disabled crippled they are the same thing I am not getting married to him, first of I have a boyfriend , whom I’m pregnant for, second your boss is ill mannered, arrogant and inhumane, did you see what he did to the chubby lady whom his driver knocked down he had her jailed, the audacity and abuse of power, no wonder he’s crippled and he would remain one what a douche bag of a boss you have dad.

There was already a chaotic atmosphere at the Bruce’s residence before we arrived and then got to meet them in the heat of the agruement as they pretended all is well. Welcome Mr. Jeff how have you being, due to work and other tedious work activities I have not being able to come visit you since you were discharged from the hospital and I heard what happened between you and that fat old hag, don’t worry about them sir these poor people are always looking for a way to leach on the rich ones like you sir especially when then feel you’re vulnerable. I am and my team would make sure she rots in jail sir you don’t have to be boarded about that, Err I believe that I have someone with me that is a member of your house hold Mr. Bruce, who might that be he asked in surprised, do you know any Phil Bruce. Yes sir his wife cut in almost immediately she’s my husband’s bastard child whom we sent to the province to live how did you come by that name sir, well she’s here in the city and she was the one my driver knocked down yesterday. Please let her in I called out to my assistant as they led her in, the family was surprised to see their own daughter. You look smaller and emaciated you old hag she said. I wondered with this size this woman is emaciated waow she must have being the size of a Mark IV trailer if what they are saying is true.

Well I see Mr. Jeff has met my elder sister your bride to be. We were just having a conversation as to how we would be going to get her from the province to come be your bride as a response to your proposal which your assistant told us about some days ago. Silence swept the floor of the sitting room where we were as I was shocked that the Bruce family wants to play on my intelligence what’s the meaning of this rubbish I was about to lash out when I heard the voice of my grandmother saying thank you, we would accept her and go prepare for the marriage in three weeks, what grandma, no this girl is unschooled, uncultured an uncouth she can’t possibly be my wife, look at her size no grandma I would rather I remained single than to be with this woman who almost killed yesterday just with her bare hands. Immediately I said that she jumped from her sit frantically towards me, fear enveloped me like I go going to die. She said you made me do it I only wanted an apology but you lashed out at me and started calling me names so I had to teach you a lesson just the same way I taught my step mother a lesson which made her insist I was taken to the province. I would never get married to you not even in my dreams or wildest imagination because if I do I would kill you with my bare hand because of your manners and bad mouth, You see Mr. Jeff there you have it my fat ugly looking sister is rejecting you as a husband how much more me but trust me the both of you would have a made the couple of the year for a perfect fit, a foolish fat wife and an arrogant, evil cripple man as a husband what a perfect fit she said as she walked out on the gathering. Grandma quickly took the floor and said we would be coming back for our bride in three weeks, oh yes madam we would start making the preparations, hope you would not go back on your words on the 35 percent shares due to the slight change? No, we are known for or words we promised to give you 35 percent if you get your daughter to marry our grandson so we would give it to you once the marriage is done she said as she signaled y assistant to wheel me out cause I was frozen by what I heard.

What insolence, the effrontery for them to suggest I marry that fat ugly girl is the height of disrespect for me, I would deal with them when the time is right but for now I need to convince grand ma that getting married to that fat ugly thing is not an option at all.

Take me to the Jefferson’s villa I need to speak with my grand ma before she causes me more trouble instead of solution. yes sir the driver replied as I turned to my assistant this is a new voice what happened to my driver, you instructed that he should be fired and I did as you instructed sir, oh my gosh what have you done again this time you have just rendered a family hopeless without any means of survival I said to myself, bring him to me by morning I need to speak with him, no need give him better job in one of our associate companies. I need to start making restitution for all the sins I have committed before I depart this word by the end of the year.

Welcome son, I know you must have being worried as to my decision on making that little princess your wife, grandma you call that 85 ton woman a princess? You must be joking, come sit my son, we have being in business with the Bruce family for decades and I must tell you one thing I know about them is that they are always after the money and they have thrown values, family culture and morality to the winds but you see that little princess she’s not like them she grew up far from them and does not have that character in her, you need someone to love you for who you are and not what you’re or for what you can offer. She’s new in the city she does not know you or anything about you she can love you if you treat her right, I doubt that grandma she can’t possibly love me after the hurtful things I said and did to her. Never say never because you don’t know what life has in stock for you, but her size, she could kill me with just a stroke of her hands if she gets angry, then don’t make her angry, but grandma what would people say that because the almighty Murphy Jeff could not get an educated city girl to marry him so he opted for a fat shapeless uneducated girl from the province? When did you start thinking of what people would say, the grandson I have doesn’t give a damn about peoples thoughts or words, they don’t matter what matters right now is getting that little princess to agree to your arrangement so you could settle down and try having an heir in event you finally life this world unplanned so you wouldn’t leave grandma without a consolation please son. Alright grand ma you’re beginning to make me emotional right now, it time to head home, I would see you by morning, good night.

I see you have met your husband to be phil, what do you mean by that dad, yes I was planning on coming to the province to pick you by the weekend so you could meet up with him. I would never marry that mean crippled man, he’s not crippled he’s disabled whatever dad I’m not getting married to him, then you would have to leave my house and go look for where you would stay. You wouldn’t make us lose billions in 35 percent of controlling shares because of your adamant and foolish nature you brat. I’ve always known dad that with you it’s always about the money and your selfish greed. Guess what I’m not getting married to him that’s it kill me if you want to but I am not. You see, this is the reason I told you to sell off this child when she was a baby she’s has never contributed anything to the growth of this family ever since she was born and now that we want her to do this one thing for this family she has blatantly refused, see the rubbish you go about town producing from your mistresses.

My love what if Mr. Jeff disagrees to marrying Phil I suggest we still try talking to Ana she’s still our best bet at getting this fortune not this good for nothing fat hag I call my daughter, but had told you she’s not willing to marry him because she’s pregnant and has some one already in her life, we can sort that out let trying persuading her, no she said in anger why not try persuading your good for nothing coconut headed daughter to for once deliver this family from poverty you ingrate. My step mom began to rain insults on me as she pushed me around the house trying to force me into agreeing to marry that crippled man. I ran out of the house into the streets with the mind never to return or returning to avenge all that they have done to me foe all these years. They must pay I said to myself as I walked on the slightly lit street to nowhere I know.
