~LEAH~Oh! Now I'm hooked, how can I get myself out of this mess? It is definitely going to be hard.My poor mother was seriously sick a few months ago, she suffered from a kidney problem and needed a transplant in order to survive. I couldn't afford to pay for the transplant, so I decided to borrow from the bank with the help of my friend's cousin who works at the bank so I will be able to save my mum's life hoping that I will win the lottery of five hundred thousand dollars which I was expecting, if I win the money I will use it to pay up my debt but unfortunately I wasn't able to win the lottery and now I am in a big trouble. Where will I ever get such an amount of money now?“Listen Miss Johnson, we won't be able to give you anymore time because we have been generous enough to wait till this moment. We will have to take your house which you gave us as a collateral," The bank's manager broke into my thoughts.What! No, I won't let that happen. That house was the only thing my l
~LEAH~The ringing of my phone brought me out of my sweet thoughts."Oh! Who the heck is calling?" I mumble, a little frustrated. I check the caller and it appears to be my best friend, Amber. I know that she is definitely calling me because of this headline. She is also crazy for Jake, I mean all girls are crazy for him but not as crazy as me. I picked up the phone and placed it on my ear.“Hello Amber."“Guess what Leah, you won't believe it."“Of course I know what you wanna say, I've already seen it, Jake is now in America."“Fortunately, that kind of information doesn't go past you. Well, not just that he is in America but he will be coming to Terrell Hills by tomorrow and the sweetest part of it is that he will give his fans a surprise concert tomorrow evening as well and right now I'm going mad."“Not as mad as I am right now. Oh! My gosh, this is such good news. I will never miss Jake's concert for any reason. This is what they call a dream come true. I'm going to see him
~AMBER~I wonder where Leah is? The event will start in five minutes from now. I tried calling her but she wasn't picking up. Oh! God I hope she is okay.I wanted to be patient and wait for some time, but I was so restless. I don't mind missing Jake on stage if I go out to look for my friend. Leah means a lot to me.I pave my way out through the crowd that were still cheering up waiting for Jake. I saw a pathway and I decided to take it. Maybe the restroom is located there and I might be able to see Leah there.The pathway was so quiet as I walked down it. The more I walk the less I hear the voice of the people chattering in the main hall. I was still trying Leah's number but she is still not picking up, I'm becoming more worried and afraid now. A young lady bumped into me, she seemed to be in a rush. Maybe I should ask her if she has seen Leah around."Excuse me Miss, do you see a young lady around here? She is a bit tall with curly blonde hair?" I ask with my ears all open."I thi
~LEAH~"What! I don't understand, doctor , what do you mean?" mum cuts in."A good Samaritan helped you guys out" The doctor said."Can you tell us who the person is?" I ask in a hurry. "I'm sorry but I can't disclose him to you guys. If you may excuse me I have to leave now, I have other patients to attend to," he said. Mum was about speaking, but he is already gone.Could it be the same person that paid the loan but why wont they disclose himself to me?"Why won't he tell us who the person is?" mum asked. "You don't have to worry mum, maybe it's one of our well wishers," I replied "Yes aunt, there is nothing to worry about. There are still good people in this world and it is even a good thing because you won't worry about the bills," Amber chips in. I glanced at Amber. I still want to know who has been helping me and why.One week later ....."Leah! There is a customer that just walked in, go and attend to him!" Mrs. Jones squeals."Yes ma'am," I replied in a shriek. I worked at
~LEAH~I slowly open my eyes, I've always dreamt of meeting Jake Austin, but it has never felt so real. It didn't feel just real, but it was hilarious. I think I've become so crazy about this man, that I'm even dreaming of him being the man that has been helping me all these while.After a few seconds, my blurry eyes cleared. I stare at the ceiling above me.. it feels strange, because it doesn't look like the ceiling in my room. The huge expensive looking chandelier got me more confused. I don't have one in my room. "You are finally awake?" a deep, sexy voice asked. I gulped down nervously as I slowly turned to the direction where the voice came from. The voice sounded just like the voice of Jake I heard in my dream.I widened my eyes in shock as I saw the handsome man standing close to me., Jake was standing tall before me, his dazzling emerald green eyes staring at me was giving me goosebumps. Maybe I'm still dreaming, this can't be real. I should wake up from th
~LEAH~What's all these, why is this happening? What's his reason to marry me? He helped me because he wanted to force me into marrying him, but why did he want to marry me…… I mean, I'm not in his class. I'm not the type of girl he would want to marry.I must be stupid. I don't know why he wants to marry me, but I'm kind of happy that he wants to marry me."Make a choice already," he jolts me up from my thoughts. I inhaled deeply, I'm stupid to make this decision, but I can't help it. I know that he doesn't love me, he wants to marry me for a reason, but I don't actually care what the reason might be. I love him and I am ready to marry him, besides I don't want to end up in jail because I can't pay him back all the money he spent on me."I... I... I ...... will marry you," I said in a whisper. He smiles softly."Good decision. You should be happy because it will be an honor for you to be my wife. Our marriage will take place in two days, that means you should tell your mother abou
TWO DAYS LATER ~LEAH~Today is the day I will marry Jake, but I still haven't told my mum yet. I don't actually know how to tell her and the thing is that she didn't even know about the loan which got me into this mess. Right now my head is filled with a lot, I don't know what to do.How do I explain things to mum? I am certain that there is a reason behind Jake trying to marry me. How did he even know someone like me? I am so confused.I was in the kitchen washing the dishes while mum was in her room probably resting or stitching. The doorbell rang and it got me startled, my mind has been going through a lot that I feel like I will run mad any minute. The wedding will take place in an hour, and I don't think I'm even ready for it.I rinsed my palm and dried it. I kind of felt nervous to open the door. What if it is Jake? No, I don't think he knows my house or even thinks of coming here, but it looks like that guy knows a lot about me. I can remember that he told me not
~LEAH~"Who are you, how could you know much about us?" mum asked with a bit of a shaky voice."You will soon know who I am, but I advise you not to know who I am, because you can't take it in. Is either your daughter gets married to me or ends up in jail." "I will never allow you to marry my daughter." Mum snapped. Looking serious."Then let her get ready to rot in jail. You are powerless, you can't stop me from getting what I want. As far as money is concerned, you are just a livestock that can be easily gotten rid of" his last statement got me to take a quick glance at him with widened eyes."You bastard." mum gritted, he smirked. Why would he want to marry me when he doesn't love me? What is his aim?****I walked down the aisle with mixed feelings. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. I love the man I'm marrying today, but he doesn't love me. He is marrying me for a reason and I don't know if the reason is good or bad. Mum said that she won't be present at my wedding. She d
