Afraid To Love.. Episode 1 by Frankpromise04(m): 10:05pm On Aug 10, 2016 |
“This can’t be happening!” cried Purity. She stared
into space with disbelief and shock written all over
her face.
“No, no,” she mumbled, looking around her office.
This man had carried out his threat. Who could
have thought he would actually do it? Aaron
Theodore was full of surprises and behaved like the
Devil himself. She was a grown woman, old enough
to make her decisions and do whatever she pleases.
Now, this man – her papa, had chosen a husband
for her. How could he?
Aaron Theodore had indeed surprised her. This man
promised not to meddle in her private life anymore.
Right from when she was a child to being an adult,
she had never lived a life of her own- all she had
done was to please her papa, doing things the way
he wanted. Now, she grew up. She’s no more the
baby of the home, she can make her decisions and
do whatever please her. Damn this man! She
wasn’t living for him. And he couldn’t dictate whom
she’d marry, she’d show him.
The door opened, a young woman of about twenty-
six popped her head in, then walked in. She was
dressed in a grey suit. The skirt was mini- above
her kneels which revealed straight beautiful legs,
they were longer than their actual length ’cause she
wore a four inches stilleto. Her hair was tied in a
ponytail. Her lips shone, painted with a colourless
lip gloss. Her lashes were tick. She smiled brightly
and looked Purity in the eye. Her eyes were
stunning.
“Heather!” Purity snapped as she caught sight of
her secretary. “You can’t knock or you forgot your
manners?” she was now sounding like a bitch.
“I…I did …knock.” Heather stammered. “There…
was…no…no response.”
“Are you saying I’m deaf?” Purity glared at her.
“No! I came to give you the files you’ve been asking
for.” she was embarrassed.
“I’m in no mood for such! Get that file and your
walking stick body out of my office!” Purity ordered.
In a flash, Heather was out of her office. She ran
out with tears welled up in her eyes.
Purity, what the hell is wrong with you! You just
made your secretary cry. You’re a witch. A voice in
her head scolded her.
She didn’t care. Her father got her into this. She’d
beat him to his game.
She stared at her cherry desk, her fingers wandered
on it. She took a pen from the pen holder and
scribbled something on a notepad. Grabbing hold of
the telephone on her desk, she called her secretary.
“Heather,” she called out when the call was
answered. “I’m sorry. Please cancel all my
appointments today. I’ve got something to do.” she
hung up.
Purity felt guilty talking to Heather that way. She
must have knocked but Purity failed to hear it
’cause she was too busy with her thoughts. It
wasn’t the poor girl’s fault. It was hers.
Purity groaned, carried her purse and left the office
room. She did not look at anyone’s face, she just
walked out of Theodore’s enterprises- the third
richest business company in the world. She was the
CEO, no one would dare question her.
Her usual smile wasn’t there, a frown replaced it.
She didn’t bother about it, didn’t care. All that was
on her mind now was to face Aaron Theodore and
let him know she was no more a child, but a full
grown woman who decides what to do with her life.
No one was going to mess with her life. No on, not
even her parents.
She slid into the driver’s seat of her silver volvo
XC60 wheels, flung her purse in the front
passenger’s seat. She put the key in the ignition
hole and started car. Slowly, she joined the
highway.

“You must be joking father,” Jeremy laughed and
shook his head.
His father- Edwin Broderick gave him a grave look.
“I’m being serious here. Purity Theodore is to be
your wife. You will see her tomorrow, court her and
marry her.”
“Father! Why should I marry her?” Jeremy threw at
his father, sarcastically.
“She’s my choice. Besides, her father and me are
close pals. They once lived in our neighbourhood,
remember?” he raised a brow.
Jeremy scratched his head, trying to remember.
Then it came! The little girl who lived in his
neighborhood when he was a kid. He’d liked her a
certain time and tried to be nice to her, be friends
with her but she was very rude to him. She felt she
was a princess, she was the last and only daughter
of the Theodore’s. Dam! He was rich too and more
powerful then she. He began despising her since
then, she must be a beautiful woman now. He had
forgotten all about her, till this moment.
“Purity? No father, I can’t marry her. Dammit! I
can’t even have her as my friend or dare, you’d
now expect me to have her as my wife? Holy shit!
NO!”
Edwin Broderick laughed at his son’s outburst. “I
know she used to tease you back then. I assure
you, she has changed. You’d get to like her.”
“Father, I can’t.” Jeremy pleaded.
“Its final. You two should be married for a year,
then you can divorce if you want to. My word is
final. Think about it, son.”
Edwin patted his son’s shoulder and left him all by
himself. |
