Chapter Three
The wedding was elaborate the way they wanted, but none of my friends came.Even my friends in college were not present. After I shared the news of the wedding to them, they made it clear to me they won't be attending, not because they do not have the chance but because of what had transpired between Nathan and I.I never questioned them because I was not happy with the wedding either.Nathan's father gave us one of his houses to live in, to avoid living with the family. We started our new life there, but for the first day, we didn't talk to each other. I was in the living room and Nathan's father called."Hello, Good Morning" I said after picking up."How are you doing my darling?""I am fine and you, thank you for everything you do""You are welcome, you know you are my daughter not my son husband, you are now my daughter, well I want to ask where you had like to go for honeymoon"The phone was on loudspeaker, so Nathan heard our conversation.Immediately his father asked where we would like to go for the honeymoon, he said "Tell him no, no" He said in a lower tone to avoid him hearing his voice."We appreciate, but the house is enough for us to chill, this is enough, my husband and I haven't even stepped out, the breeze here is so cool""Alright, no problem darling, when you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know""Alright, thank you"He hung up.Nathan hissed and continued pressing his phone.I went to the kitchen to prepare noodles and eat without leaving anything.I went to the living room only to see the video that caused me depression years back played on the screen TV."Can you stop this Nathan, you still have this? The nuisance you have caused isn't enough yet? What do you want? What exactly do you have? I trusted you, I loved you, you played my feelings, you secretly made a record while having sex with you, you shared it on the school platform, I almost got depressed if not for my friends, and you still kept the video till now?" I yelled.He laughed."I didn't blame you, I blame myself for coming over here again, if I had known this is what I was called for, I would have turned my phone off and live peacefully""So you think you can run away from this? You think you can run away from your past? You have been acting innocently in the presence of your parents and in the presence of the students, I just made it clear to them that''"I never think you are this stupid, I never knew this is all what you have in mind to do, I thought you were a reasonable man, you remember you deflowered me....""Shut up, well I have nothing to say to you, what I know is this marriage is not going to work" He interrupted me.I smiled, "Do you think I have interest in it? Do you think I would like to stay with this unreasonable man? Please do whatever you can do in your capacity for us to go on our separate ways, I do not want it to work""I wonder why my dad can't comprehend a simple thing, how can he think you are a good match to me? How can he even think that you deserve this handsome guy, well, I am coming back for you, let me go and eat""You don't need to come back for me, you need to stay so that you can get hungry, get out" I said angrily.He left, and I continued watching TV.Fifteen minutes later, he walked in with a woman. They went to our room in which Nathan and I do sleep, without even saying a word.I smiled and I could hear the lady maorn. I knew it well that they were having sex but I never cared, he is free to do whatever he wants as long as I do not love him anymore.He continued to bring in different ladies, and I do not care.One day, he was forced to talk "You aren't even talking even after bringing in different ladies""And do you think I care about that, all I care is separating from you, I just want to be on my own, if you like bring in three ladies at once, I won't care, you have your life to live""I know you don't care and that is better but I hope you won't go and start calling and crying to our parents about this""Common, go in and do whatever you think is right, if only I care that is when I will do that, but i careless about what you do, what I want now is me moving away from this house, I am tired""I am more tired, seeing you annoy me""And that does not only go to you, same here" I said."Do you think we should continue like this? I have an opinion, you can bring one of your boyfriends here and I will bring one of my girlfriends here""You are the irresponsible one here, I am not disturbing you, you can do whatever you wish like I have said earlier, so""Yeah, I do not need your approval before I do anything in my father's house" He replied."Your Father's house but you can not even decide to stay there alone, at least you should be bold enough to let them know that you do not love me and you are not ready for this marriage, but the stupid you had no choice than to do what was said""And you? What about you? You claim that you are being loved at home yet you are still forced to marry who you don't want to, is that love?"Chapter FourI continued pretending like a happy bride, though I am tired of pretending but I would rather not talk because I knew no one cares about how I feel.I was in the living room chatting with one of my friends at college and she was asking how I tend to cope with the situation. I was thinking of replying when I saw Nathan walk in with a woman. They went straight to the room without even saying a word, and I ignored them too.Minutes later, I could hear sound from the room and I knew something was going on already.I told my friend everything he has been doing, though she suggested that I inform my parents, but I insisted, because I need no stress They walked out of the room, their faces flushed and their clothes disheveled, I pretended not to even see them, to avoid any interaction."Darling, is this the lady you were forced to marry?" The woman in which Nathan brought in, asked."Yes, she is the one, she looks weird right?""Yes, very, I can't wait to be staying in with you
Chapter FiveI watched him leave the house with no pity, he got what he deserves, I never thought someone would do that to him. That serves him right. This was just the consequence of his own action.I wanted to call my friend so we could celebrate what had happened, but I had a second thought that it is bad to celebrate someone's misfortune. I was about to drop my phone when my phone rang, it was Nathan's mother who was calling me."Hello, Good Morning" I said after I picked up the call."My dear, do you see the video people have been sharing?""I saw it and I have been wondering, I was asking Nathan how it happened but he left home angrily""I have been calling him but his phone is not reachable, where is he?""I asked him where he was heading too but he didn't say a word, I have been worrying, I was thinking he was coming over there, so I thought of calling you""I didn't see him, what is wrong with Nathan, why has he chosen to disgrace me""Mum, Nathan betrayed my trust, he went
Chapter OneAs I waved goodbye to my friends from my father's car, a mixture of emotion and feelings filled my heart. Knowing that I might never get to see them again was heartbreaking, but the fact that I am starting a new life entirely brought great joy to my heart."At last! I won't be seeing Nathan every now and then" I said silently and breathed in and out deeply."So you should be ready to travel tomorrow" My dad said while driving his car.I wonder why he didn't allow his driver to come and pick me up from school, probably because today was the last day in school for me."So how is Nathan, I should have carried him and dropped him first but I am sure his father would have arranged how he would get home" As soon as I heard his name, my heart began to race.Our parents knew we were close but they never knew we had dated each other.After the relationship ended we hardly talked to each other.We got home and I saw the glinting ray shining on the hinge of the door. My mum stood the
Chapter TwoI still couldn't believe the words I heard from my father, it was as if the world was falling apart. I went to my room thinking of what to do next. I had nothing in mind to do, but I took my phone to call my mum."Mum, I need you to tell dad, Nathan and I had no feelings for each other, we are only friends and our friendship is not the one that could lead to marriage, mummy please, beg dad for me "My daughter, your father can not change his mind, and it is not necessarily you have feelings for each other before marriage, you can marry and start developing the feelings, your father has been thinking of this since but when Nathan's father came here to tell him, he was even happy, I think they are making the best decision for twoor you, you have known Nathan for years, And I know him to be cool, handsome, or is there anything wrong?"My mind was reeling and my thoughts were a jumbled mess. I wanted to tell my mother about what had happened, but I was paralyzed by fear and u
