luvmijeje: I'm getting a negative vibes here but b4 I mind my darn bussiness, he did raised valid questions in my mind which hopefully will be answer in your subsequent updates.
Why would daisy agreed to an arrangee marriage? How did she fall in
love with some1 whose pics she has only seen? Why and how did Jide
accept to get married to her? What age range are they? Why is her father
not in agreement to their marriage? Also mama and daisy are so close,
what's the connection? Why would mama force Daisy esp daisy on her first
grandson? What was she doing before she left everything to come to
Nigeria?

gosh! you gave me quite a heart attack with all that questions, where they actually meant for me alone?

but i relaxed when i knew that i have all the answer to the questions. so relax, no stone will be left unturned...

and update should be coming tru tomorrow hopefully, bear with me. thanks

why did you decide to stop posting it here

[quote author=Mynd_44]it was not off topic. No point hiding it or banning anyone[/quote]off to go post my 'on topic' comment

wumsgreen:
Is is it only me dat thinks there is one bad
chemistry btw general maxi n princesa.she kind of enjoy attacking him.no
wahala maxi is sure going to treat her well ask........

as they say, there is a thin line between love and hate, so who knows the part of the divide am on
its just a figment of your imagination

did your detector not tell you that someone has posted in that 'cherished' thread of yours?

or what? did she post 'on topic'
i got to know, because if you don't rain fire and brimstone on her, then i will think otherwise

so start speaking

[quote author=Mazi_Omenuko]Ooops. . . My bad. I actually thought the definition of stooping low was obliging to an 'arrangee' marriage with a man that doesn't love you,
that actually despises you and can't bare the site of you that he had to
zoom off to work 2 days after the wedding.

But what do I know! Afterall, I'm a goddam sex-addict.[/quote]that you are, and it badly clouds your judgement and recommendations. Maybe Daisy didn't act so posh then, but banging Okon is worst and will only drift her away from the love of her life or the chance of ever winning his love and attention.

you should check this your perspective of ladies as only good items on the bed, it would help you a lot dude

[quote author=Mynd_44]I am chilled and ready to be served ma'am. Post anything there again
that does not belong and you will be chilling for weeks.[/quote]it ain't worth it, besides i dint say anything off, abeg take a full bottle of chill pill.

[quote author=Mazi_Omenuko]Shouldn't you be compiling that nice story on how you lost your
virginity? My fans will love it die, especially the part where you had
to wear pampers for a week thereafter.

Make sure you edit it properly, you may have chance to upload before the ugly one.[/quote]i don't have such gory tale to tell, maybe i should send in the part where a sex-addict i know gave his m.iserable life to Christ, that would do a lot of good.


way to go myndd, someone got to call him to order.

[quote author=Mazi_Omenuko]Nice story, I've been following quietly until wizee blew my cover, lol.

Waiting for Daisy to brace up and seek solace on the arms of that
calabar boy, okon; you know my style now, do the do.'y and clean mouth

Can't help but add my own smileys

Been wondering why prinsesca was off my neck until I stumbled on this thread.

Good work.[/quote]sorry, Daisy is a posh girl, she wont stoop so low.

and don't heave a sign of relief, just yet, cos my pest mode is activated

From then on, Jide made sure that nobody talked to him about his
'unfortunate' wedding or even mentioned something as close to it, if they didn't want problem with him. Everyone in his office respected his
'orders' and acted as it they hadn't trooped to Queen's Hotel on a
pleasant Saturday to celebrate a wedding, things just went back to
normal as if their second in command hadn't experienced any change. But
the grapevine didn't cease their wagging.

************
Daisy was all dressed and sitting in the parlour watching a movie in
Africa Magic, Okon was scrubbing away at the dining table, he was also
whistling a tune as he worked, then out of nowhere he asked:

'Madam, do i also clean the room'

'what?' Daisy asked, she had been engrossed in the movie, she was also a sucker for Nollywood movies, they intrigued her.

'I asked if i could clean the room too, you know with you around and...'he was saying

'No no don't bother with that' she said and was returning her attention
to the movie again but stopped and added 'you don't also need to
clean...you know what, just continue' she completed and turned back to
the movie. she had wanted to include the kitchen.

Not long later, they heard a noise outside, it was rather loud and
sounded like a big truck just rammed into the compound.

'what could that be?' Daisy stood now and was walking towards the door.

'it should be the fur...' Okon was saying when he zoomed past her, but she didn't get the last part of his statement, she didn't need to
because as she got to the door, what she saw in front of the compound
was a large truck with the name 'Johnson's furniture' written boldly on
it, it was also accompanied with pictures of different house furnishing
accessories.

Immediately her heart sunk. But she wasn't sure why.

Okon was talking to one of the men now, later two men climbed into the
truck and came out with wooden parts of a bed, they were followed by two
other men
carrying a blue king size mattress. They were marching towards the
house.

She clearly knew why her heart missed a bit then, this husband of hers
had show the greatest derision and disrespect she could ever imagine or
handle, so this was what he had been cooking all along without even a
breath of word to her? And to add to the insult, he had intimated his
housekeepers with the info while she was left in the dark. She felt so
invincible, She didn't know which was more painful, the fact that he had
totally disregarded her in front of the world or the fact that he had
openly shown that he couldn't be bothered by their marriage. She felt so
hurt down to the bone marrow, her hope was slipping away gradually and
the fear that the future was laced with cold and loveless days loomed in
her heart.

She quietly left the door to go sit on the chair so that the men could
pass.

'Madam they want to...' Okon was saying but stopped when he noticed the
expression on Daisy's face, it was gloomy.

'Just do whatever, its okay by me' she managed to say, she wasn't sure
of herself or her emotions anymore, she could feel that ancient gland
that held her tears starting to rise. Okon left her.

This emotions would not be the death of me. She thought angrily and
forced herself to concentrate on the movie.

In the movie, Jim Iyke was then kneeling down in proposal to an actress,
Daisy wasn't sure she had seen her before, but right then, that was the
least of her problem. Infact it was like compounding the problem, she
felt like slapping the two Id.iots who didn't know that marriage wasn't
that rosy as the st.upid smile on the girls face.

Infact, she simply lost interest and switched off the irritating movie,
then started for her room.

'Her room' she thought painfully, she wasn't gonna be sharing it with
Jide or anyone else for that matter so she had better start getting used to it. Her initial question about his place of rest was now more than answered.

In the hallway, she met the men bearing the mattress trying to fit it through the narrow hallway to Jide's study now turned his room. Maybe that was what Okon had been telling her earlier in the morning she remembered.

Well, It didn't matter anymore for now she knew. She quietly shut her door and locked it without a second glance at the struggling men.

Later on her bed, she mechanically went to her phone's playlist and selected Beyonce's 'Broken hearted girl'. Even though she knew it wasn't the best of song for her nerves right now, she still didn't care, instead she set the song to replay then slowly drew the blanket over her. Minutes later, she felt those hateful stream of tears roll down uncontrollable.

She spent the whole day locked in, she didn't know when Okon left or when Jide returned. The only time she left her room was around 2am when she practically sleep-walked to the kitchen to go take her nightly dose of juice.

************
end of chapter 4.
phew!

chapter 4 continues:

*******
Jide was all angry when he drove into the family company building
located at Eric Moore part of surulere. He didn't reply the greeting of
people that he passed nor bothered about the look of surprise etched on
their face.

The moment Daisy knew better to keep her distance and stop annoying him
more with the pretence of love, docility and submissiveness, the better
for them both. What had she thought would be the outcome of her preparing breakfast for him? Did she think they were the best of newly weds? Maybe the surprise visit of the furniture persons would jolt her
out of her fantasy. Jide thought angrily as he marched through the
stairs that led to his office in the second floor of the two storey
building they shared with another company.

The olukoya's company occupied the first and second floor while the
other company occupied the ground floor. Their company deals with the importation of household items and other sundry, the second floor housed
the offices while the first floor served as the show room.

Jide's presence startled his secretary who had been making a call that was obviously not concerned with business.

'goodmorning sir...i didn't know you would be coming in this morning, i....' the secretary stammered, she had carelessly dropped the land
phone and the phone was now dangling carelessly by her side.

'oh really, did my schedule show that i will be absent today' jide asked irritated.

'no but since you got married on Sat...she started defensively

'that, Joyce is not your business, your business is to get me the
invoice and documents that come into my section...'

'your father intercepted them, he said you wont be coming in today...'

'he what! What's wrong with everyone? just cos i got married doesn't
mean am paralysed or that life wouldn't go on' Jide was saying as he marched out to his father's office.

Minutes later, he was in his office. The way he had barged in startled
the oldman who had been perusing a document.

'what the hell is the meaning of this?' he shouted.

'what right have you to intercept the document meant for me?' Jide
barked

'Is that a new form of goodmorning?

'i didn't come here for pleasantries' jide shouted. 'why did you
f.ucking redirect all my invoices to your section?' he asked again.

'come on, you and i know that you were not supposed to be in office
today or even this week, you just got married and you ought to be on
your honeymoon...' he was saying with a rather cajoling tone.

'give me a break 'dad' you can go honeymoon for all i care, i just need
those invoices so i can get to work immediately' he interrupted still
shouting.

'its okay, very Okay Jide, i quite understand, your document are still
with Alice out there, you can get them on your way out'

'fine!' Jide barked and stormed out of his office, banging the door
after him. 'foolis.h old people trying to run my life' he muttered.

Jide's father was speechless, he regretted listening to his mother about
forcing this marriage on Jide, For he wasn't sure now, if it had been
the best thing he had ever done, though it had seemed so then.

As Jide marched angrily to his office, the documents in his hand, he
almost ran into Ade who was coming towards him.

'slow down man! why are you all smokes?' Ade asked smoothing his suit,
he was one to care so much about his look for he thought himself
handsome and the ladies delight.

'i really don't have the time to chat' Jide replied irritation showing
on his face, but he didn't make any move to continue on his way.

'oh yeah, you should have said so man, rather than try to make me look
all ruffled and on a Monday too!' he was still sulky over his suit.

'really Ade grow up, 'Jide said with an irritated tone 'its only a suit
not your miserable life!' Jide retorted and started walking away.

'and aren't you supposed to be cruising the world with that damsel wife
of yours for the honey...'

'not you too!' jide interrupted almost shouting and stopped 'why don't
you f.ucking stick to your business?'

'its my business you know, i witnessed the marriage, i was the ring
bearer, infact i ...'

'yeah, you could also go witness the honeymoon in my place' Jide replied
now walking away for real. Ade was really an annoying pest and he could
go on forever with this discussion. Jide was clearly not in the mood to
banter with this friend of his who made it an habit to pester people.
They weren't even best of friends, but then again Jide hardly kept
friends.

'I'd love to!' Ade shouted to the retreating figure of Jide.
Unlike Jide, Ade considered it a blessing for Jide family to have gotten
him hooked with a 'kokolet' like Daisy, that girl was sooo fine and
even though he wasn't thinking about marriage soon, he wouldn't have bothered much if Daisy was forced on him and he just might take up Jide's offer one of this days, he thought merrily as he waltzed with a funny step to his own section of the company.

[quote author=frank3.16]thanks babes... your taking chance story is making me wish i could write like u, i am following u like ur scape goat[/quote]i feel flattered

HumbledbYGrace: thanks dear.
lol.... did you check the time interval between the last update and this update? It took me two weeks to put it all together, I googled the
procedure but had trouble making it real. So my answer is no, I have
never had an abortion. just learning how to write

thought i should ask

repogirl: Princessa, your story is inspiring a story in my head
but I don't want to be accused of plagirism so I will wait and see where your own leads.

Your story is going good, but isn't it time to see small action? , you
know me I like action. Daisy should stop being dainty and all that and stick it to Jide already jare. Ah ahn, its been two days, we should know
why Jide is acting like such a donkey.
Maybe we should know what's goin on in his head or whatever sha.
Just my humble opinion o!
Keep up the gud work.

your opinion is valued, i know it seems am dragging it ba, but you know Daisy just became Iyawo and as Iyawo she never wan show herself, that's what those Iyawo's do......pretend. but actually Daisy is a good girl, sort off

i was hoping to give a rundown of how the marriage ish began but that's
in the coming chapters, Daisy would definitely react...she would most
definitely. its just have to be in months coming that is in my story, don't worry, i wont bore
my readers with the monotous life of their daily existence, the plot as i have written it spans to 16 chapters :O so you can imagine why it seems that am taking my time....chilax okay

emperor, datsall, thanks for dropping by. will definitely upload all of chapter 4 today, God willing

Chapter 4
Daisy woke up by 6am, it is a normal routine for her because her body had grown accustomed to it, today was Monday. She went to the kitchen to see what she could fix up as breakfast for Jide before he left for work, much as she would have preferred a honeymoon, she knew it was as
close as wishing for the moon so she thought it best to settle herself into her wifely role, even though she knew Jide would neither care nor appreciate the gesture.

At about 7 when Jide came out from his study-for that was where he had
moved his clothes to yesterday while Daisy watched with a sunken heart
as the hope of them ever consumating their marriage slipped-he hardly
paid a glance to the set dining table before he picked his car keys and left the house without a word at her either.

Daisy wasn't hurt, she had half expected that to happen, it wasn't even as if she had fix anything spectacular for him to eat, she had improvise with the little food items she could find in his scanty kitchen and
fixed him jollof rice cooked with sardine, she however applauded herself
mentally for her super effort in bringing something out of nothing, so
it was totally Jide's business if he decided to starve himself!

Her piece said, she rose from the chair in the parlor where she'd been sitting and carefully carried the untouched food back to the kitchen then walked to the room to go arrange her legion of clothes, mama had
sent them yesterday evening through the family driver.

Though Daisy would have loved if Mama had came herself for she needed
company to cope with the cold silence that pervaded the house after they returned, she consoled herself with the cartoon of juice mama also sent, it meant her 'juiceless' nights were over.

As she hung her clothes in the now empty hanger, she sang along Alicia
Keys' 'Super human' playing from her phone, she wondered where her
husband would continue sleeping and wished he had rather slept here with
her even if he decided to still keep his distance on the bed.

'As if that was possible' Daisy said to herself and giggled.

************
she was through with her clothes 'chore' and was now hanging her bags
when she heard a noise out in the hallway. Stopping, she tiptoed to the
door and listened closely by placing her ears by the door, she heard a
noise like someone opening a door. Immediately she opened her door and
looked down to see a guy trying to open Jide's study which was the last
room at the left side of the hallway. She guessed him to be in his
mid-twenties.

So many thoughts coursed through her mind, was he a burglar? a friend?
or at worst Jide's male part...... She stopped that train of thought,
she didn't believe Jide would stoop that low!

The guy, very oblivious to the fact that he was being watched had opened
the door and was about to enter when he turned and saw Daisy. She was
in between the half opened door.

'Don't come any further' she spoke now, alarm in her tone. The guy had
been walking towards her then.
He stopped midway and smiled very unsure.

'Am sorry ma, Adamu told me you were around but i....' he had this
slight calarbar accent.

'Who are you?' Daisy interrupted still not pacified, she also made no
move to leave her position.

'oh, sorry...' he apologised again 'i should have... Well my name is
Okon Edet, i am the house keeper here, well...sort of'

'The housekeeper?' Daisy asked, she was getting a bit relaxed.

'yes, i come to clean every Monday, Wednesday and Friday'

That's plausible enough she thought, her initial alarm gradually
evaporating.

'oh...okay...hello' she greeted now and wanted to come out fully, but
remembering that she was still clad in Jide's shirt now turned to her night wear since since he seemed not to need it anymore, she stopped.

'Hi' okon replied smiling.

'but how did you get the key to that room?' Daisy asked.

'Mr. Jide dropped it with Adamu, he asked me to clean it up and do other things there cos...'

'its okay' Daisy said, she couldn't care more. 'Let me leave you to your work then'

'ok ma' Okon said and walked away.

Daisy closed her door and locked it this time, she wouldn't take any more chances with whatever housekeeper of Jide that came calling again. She chastised herself now for where her stray thoughts would have led her then and resumed her 'chores' singing along the song that was now playing in her phone, it was Beyonce's 'halo'.

So much for the neat freak jide she had formed, for there goes the secret. She thought again.
************

the story is nice, short and didactic, an invaluable story for this generation.
