The arranged wedding.

Jones pov Good morning mr harrison said the secretary of Babel limited who are in charge of interior design. “Good morning” I responded, please inform your chairman that am around. “who should I tell him? asked the secretary. oh please inform him that mr jones chairman of go_food restaurant world wide is here to see him his aware I’m coming.

(Office land line ringing...mr Harrison picks the call)please let him in he said I walk in to his office with my mouth widely open the interior designs were so amazing that I was so convinced about giving them the contract of my newly purchased house to create some amazing designs for me. “Hello mr jones”! said mr Harrison. “hello mr Harrison” i replied. “I got your contact from a friend who assured me that you were going to do a wonderful work with designing my house. “I smiled.well you are at the right place and we promise to give you the best said mr Harrison. After I gave him the contract in less than one month,he did a wonderful job,I was so impressed so I also introduced him to some of my friends The relationship between me and mr Harrison grew stronger than just business partners in fact we became best of friends. I was so happy when you came in I thought you won’t make again tonight I said. “I couldn’t help but create space tonight I also need some time off work said” mr Harrison. I was glad when he said that.we can atleast have some good time together tonight.....I said to myself . some hours of drinking and partying mr Harrison invite me and my wife over for dinner at his place the next day. I could not help but accept his offer so I assured him that we will be at his place by 6pm.we later had some few drinks and went home to rest. (Next day at mr Harrison’s place) I and my wife were already at mr Harrison’s house before 6pm so we had enough time to talk about business,family and so many other things . while we were discussing I told him my daughter will be coming home from the state after her graduation by weekend. while we were still discussing mr Harrison’s only son Derick walked in and greeted us. “where have you been? mr Harrison asked his son. “oh I went to see a friend down the street! he replied. while the father and son were still chatting mr Harrison’s wife mrs Jane called from behind. “food is ready everyone please come let’s eat”After dinner my wife joined mrs Jane to clear the table while Derick went to his room to have his bath. I thought this was the perfect time to tell my friend what has been going on in company and how much I need his help since I don’t want my wife to find out . So I excused him for some minute and we step outside.I told him how I have been draining in debt, how I have so many competitors in market and how my business has been suffering a lot and how much I really needed his help to bounce back. After some many discussion he finally agreed to help me financially but at a condition that my daughter must get married to his impotent son and live as husband and wife. I was shocked when I heard his only son was an impotent and to crown it all he wants my only daughter to get married to him before he can help me (dumbfounded). For some minutes I could not think straight,how do I tell my daughter this,how is she going to take it,what If she’s not interested what will then happen to the family business.These thoughts kept running through my head. I told him to give me some time to think about it and convince my daughter about it. After some time we bid each other good bye and I drove straight home. A week after my conversation with mr Harrison my daughter came home from the state after her graduation. My daughter I’m happy you are back home safe and sound,we have something very important to talk about. “What is it father?she asked. “I think I have found a person who will make a good husband for you!! “father what did you just say,I don’t undunderstand.her said with a surprise look on her face. My daughter i am your father and I know what best for you.his father is my very good friend.Come to think of it my daughter mr Derick is the only son of mr Harrison my very good friend which means he will be the one to inherit all his father’s property when he decided’s to resign .it only means that you wouldn’t have to think twice before getting what you want to live a comfortable life. “But father........! No but my daughter just think about it Good night sleep well I shut the door behind me as i leave my daughter’s room. Abigail pov Deep in thought ...........I could not sleep i kept thinking about what my father told me. How can my father decide who I get married to or not.Besides I’m an adult I should be able to decide for my self. What do I tell Fred my fiancé? What do I tell my friends .tears rolled down my cheeks. I kept thinking through out the night and I could not sleep. “It’s morning already. My mum kept banging on my door. but I did not response to her so she let herself into my room. “Why are you still in bed at this hour, do you know what the time is?.... my mum queried. I reached out for my phone to check the time.oh my goodness its 11am already!I jump off from my bed to the bathroom to wash my self up before joining my mum to do the house chores.I looked around to see if I can sight my father but he was nowhere around the house so I asked my mother. “oh your father stepped out not to long. “Oh ok I replied
