WOLVIRE

The sun peaked right up in the sky giving the morning a youthful exuberance, the streets were crowded with people going about their daily lives hoping to have a fruitful day.

In a beautiful green house situated in brooks street, a young lady was seated in front of a mirror combing through her hair when her mother walked in.

“Hi mom” Selene, the beautiful young lady with blue eyes, thick lashes, long black hair and a perfect body turned to her.

“How are you doing Selene” Mary asked taking the comb from her and brushing through her hair.

“I’m fine” she answered.

Mary stared at her beautiful child through the mirror who had always been a sourced her happiness,

“You know I have always been grateful for the moment you came into my life my dear child, you brought so much joy to me and your father that we couldn’t wish for anything more” Mary expressed with a face full of joy.

“What is it Mom?” Selene could read through her expression that she had something to say to her and that was why she was sweet talking her, she was already used to her pattern.

“Okay fine you got me” Mary said and dragged a seat closer to her.

“You have been together with Dante for four years now, don’t you think it is time for you two to tie the knot. Dante may be slow about it but you aren’t, you can’t let him sleep away from you” Mary stated holding her hand.

It had been a dream of hers to have her daughter married off to a rich man and Dante, her current boyfriend was the perfect match.

He was the son of the richest man in Paris and he ended up falling in love with her daughter.

“But mom, Dante hasn’t said anything about marriage to me, I don’t think he is ready for it” Selene objected.

“He loves you right” she asked,

“Yes he does”

“Then it wouldn’t hurt if you were the one to propose to him.

You see my child, we are barely living off the money that we have, your father’s company isn’t that stable and might soon crumble but if you end up marrying Dante then our family would be well taken care of.

Who wouldn’t want to do business with the in-laws of the Shedrach family” Mary blurted out, she saw her daughter relationship as a reason to live a better life.

“You can do this much for your family right?” She asked her daughter with puffy eyes.

“Ofcourse mom, I will do something about it” Selene reluctantly answered.

“I trust that he wouldn’t be able to refuse you, I can already picture him accepting the proposal” Mary pictured the thought in her head.

“You think so mom, I am bit scared about it” She expressed her fear, she wasn’t scared about proposing to him but she was more scared about If he would accept her.

“You don’t need to be scared my dear, I am rooting for you.

I have seen how much Dante loves you and I am certain he would accept it” Mary encouraged her.

“I will try my best” Selene answered and her mom left.

Selene was just a lady in her twenties living a normal life with her family and taking care of them with the average job she had but all that changed when she met Dante a few years ago, he promised to take care of her family which he willingly did but in return she had to quit her job.

He claimed he didn’t want his girlfriend to be working when he could give her everything she ever wanted, her family began asking for more and she had more friends than she could ever imagine.

Her life suddenly became perfect with Dante and she lacked nothing all because she was with him, he had always shown her that he loved her even in the smallest way possible and it was right to say she depended solely on him to feed her family.

She picked up her phone and dailed the only man who made her heart beat.

“Hello” his husky voice spoke through the phone and a smile lit up on her face, her heart began beating faster and she couldn’t breathe properly, he always had that effect on her despite how many years they had been in a relationship together.

“Hi Dante” she said playing with her hair.

“Is anything wrong?” He asked, Selene could tell that he was worried about her by his tone.

“No, just that I miss you.

I wish you were here” she stated holding her thumping heart.
