Chapter one

Driving to my office at full speed. Papa asked me to bring some files for him which would be signed by some investors. As the MD of the company, I should already be there but this stupid car of mine keeps stopping on the road. I told my driver to take the other car to the mechanic not knowing that this car also had some fault with it.

I honk at the low life driving in front of my car. If he knows he can't ride a car then why buy one, the car is as low as him, that's just the fact.

I knew it was him riding the car because I can see the person's head or rather the man's head through my front glass.

Suddenly Man's car stopped and I hit the car at the back. Does he want to get us killed?

I angrily park my car at the side of the road. I came out of my car and walked to the low life's car. I met him inhaling from an inhaler I bang on his glass window for him to get down, he raises his head to look at me and I was met with the most handsome man I have ever seen.

I became speechless, not knowing what to say. Who is he?

He gave me a questioning look and then came out of the car, that was when I snapped at him. I won't let my guards down even if he is as handsome as The weekend (a/n American singer?)

I pointed at him

" Hey Mr, are you stupid or what? If you know you are sick why not go to the hospital. If I wasn't driving a Range Rover my car would have had a scratch at the front. Take your stupid container out of my face, now I'm late for work all because of you. " I shouted at him and people around came closer to see what was the commotion all about and I don't give a damn that I insulted this low life, he deserves it.

All this while, he only looks stunned at my outburst, I hissed at him and turn to walk away but the stupid man held my arm in a stronghold.

He looks like he wants to strangle me

" Don't ever talk to me like that. I repeat, don't ever shout at me" he angrily gritted out at me, and at the same time, his hold on my arm tightness. It hurt.

"Just because, you're privileged to have fancy cars doesn't give you the right to talk to me like that, you spoilt brat. It's people like you that made people like us insult the rich " he shakes his head in some worth like pity, for me? just look shocked at him. How dare this low-life insult me like this in public?

" if you think you'll be respected just because you are high and mighty, then sweetheart you're wrong. No one would give you the respect you deserve if you don't change this stupid attitude of yours"

I slap him right in the face with my other hand.

" don't talk to me like that" I yelled

People were looking at me like I was crazy. Why wouldn't they? When they are all low lives just like him. All they do is the side with their people. And someone would say I'm the spoilt brat when in fact I'm just doing the right thing by showing them their place.

" Get your dirty hands off me, don't ever touche with those filthy hands of yours"

I struggled to release his hold on my arm but he wouldn't budge so I stomped on his feet and he shouted in pain. I used that opportunity to escape, I ran to my car and quickly step on the pedals and my car came to life immediately. I drove off withoutllookingck.

I drove crazily to my father's company hoping that the stupid, crazy, useless man didn't follow me behind. My heart keeps beating faster for I was scared of what had happened. The death glare he shot at me back there was so scary, I'm glad I escaped his hold.

On reaching the company, I parked my car at the management parking lot and took my handbag before getting out of the car.

Immediately I entered, the male workers greeted me nicely while the female workers were another case. Well, they greeted me with a fake smile which I'm already used to and I didn't bother to answer, I'll deal with them later. Lately, I've been hearing rumors in the office about be being rude, spoilt and so many indecent words you could think of. All the female workers started the spreading of rumors. I know they are just jealous of what they can't have, which is 'riches, beauty, charisma and so on, '.They are all jealous of me.

I catwalk towards the elevator and I heard them secretly making fun of me. Their ugly laugh gave it out.

I turn to glare at them and they quickly shut up and cower in shame.

If my dad would allow me, I would have sacked all of them. They better be grateful right now.

I entered the elevator and press the number to my father's office. The elevator dinged, I came out of it and walk straight to my father's office. I entered without knocking and I met my father going through some files, he looked up at me and smile. I love my dad so much, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me since mom died. Dad is just perfect

He is everything to me. I have a stepmom if that's the right word to describe her as the age difference between us isn't much, she came in ten years after mom died and I don't like her one bit. She has two kids with my dad. I love my little siblings so much but not their mother. If you ask me why, the truth is, I don't know why I don't like her. Quite alright, she is nice and also the perfect match for dad.

The First-day dad brought her home as his new bride, I had always looked at her as a gold digger. I mean, who would sacrifice her young self to marry an old man. Well, she might be older than me by four or five years which makes her 25 years younger than dad and dad is 55. For the number of years, I have spent with her, I think she truly loves dad and I don't like it one bit. Why? Why is it because I'm scared of letting her take away the amount of love dad showers on me? Call me crazy, I don't care.

"How is my little one doing" I playfully rolled my eye at him

" Papa, I'm not little. Stop the teasing dad" I went forward to sit on the seat opposite to dad.

I brought out the files from my handbag and hand them over to him.

" Dad these are the files you requested "

He took them from me and went through them to be sure they are the right ones. But isn't he going to be late for the meeting? So I asked him.

" what about the meeting with the investors?"

" They called for a change of plan, they said something important came up so I canceled the meeting till tomorrow " oh

" OK. Dad could you believe that some low life insulted me" dad quickly raises his head to look at me.

" What happened? " asked dad with a stern face. That's why I love my papa he always gets alerted whenever something bad happens to me.

I explained all that had happened to him from the beginning to the end and I made sure not to miss a point.

" Rahama, how many times have I warned you to stop calling poor people low lives." dad scolded and I pout.

" Dad, he started it"

"Don't you know that Allah, that made you rich is the same Allah that made them poor? You don't know what the future holds, you don't know whether these riches of mine would just vanish one day. Instead of talking to the young man calmly, you decided to snap at him " dad preached and all was going through one ear and also coming out through the other one.

" Do you want people to say that I brought you up to be rude and disobedient? " I pouted.

" young lady I'm talking to you stop pouting at me"

" but dad" I drawled out

" But what? ....don't but dad me. I want you to change your silly ways, do you think Aliyah is happy wherever she is seeing you behaving like this. Is it a sin that I pampered you so much so you won't be sad for not seeing your mom again? "

I don't like seeing my dad so worked up like this. Whenever he mentions mom's name anytime we are having this kind of conversation, dad always gets sick and I don't want him to be sick. He loves my mom so much. He wouldn't have married another wife if it wasn't for the pressure on him from his family. They kept pushing him to get married and now he had fulfilled their wish.

" I'm sorry dad " I apologize for being rude

" I don't need your sorry, the only person that needs your sorry is the young man you insulted on your way here" he gave me a stern look.
