The day Zara and I attended the concert, was the day Dad told me of a meeting with the Delances. that we would be having Dinner with the Delances. In his words, “You will be having dinner with your in-laws in wo days time.. It will be an opportunity to know all the family,,” So here I was with Dad, dressed in a shimmering blue gown and walking through the door with a man called “butler,”. We were at the Delances Mansion. Butler led us into a little hall, when I barely heard my name and was enveloped in a hug. “Sarah!" Delance's mother said. I inhaled her expensive perfume, which was soothing and I suddenly missed having a mother. "Hello, ma'am" I said nervously when she released me from her hold. Then I saw the man beside her. Mr Delance. My amazinggg father in law. Arghh. “Hello darling,” his eyes lit up with joy as he pulled me in for a hug. I didn’t know when I relaxed in his hold. What is wrong with me? I was supposed to be mean to him because of what he did by making that

“Yaay! I am so glad that you’ll be sleeping over,” Mrs Delance squealed “it feels like I now have my own daughter,”“Honey, be calm,” Mr Delance chuckled, coming to hold his wife from me. “Let’s leave the both of them. They wouldn’t know each other if we were always in their faces.”Damian simply brought his phone from his pockets and started typing furiously.“Or better still, why don’t you show her the room beside yours. That’s where she will be spending the night,” Mr Delance said “Wonderful! Hurry up, boy” Mrs Delance said excitedly, making me wonder why she wants her son and I to get married. Did I perhaps do something in my other life that is making Mr and Mrs Delance love me?Damian simply groaned and stood up. He walked off without saying anything, “Follow him,” Mrs Delance whispered. Emily nodded quickly too.As I turned to follow him, poor, typical me tripped over the edge of the rug and dives forward in a way that may be mistaken as a Superman act. One arm outstretched in f

Damian didn’t kiss me on the lips, instead he kissed my cheeks. My cheeks. I wished the ground would open up to swallow me. He should have just left the veil on my head! I seethe silently, watching the guests fill our reception party which was held at the Delance mansion. I spotted a lot of the country's artists including Jedidiah, the scripture singer. “Happy married life, Sarah,” Rijiania approached me with a gift. She was wearing a short red gown that exposed her thighs and cleavage. She was stunning “this is for you,” she said “Thank you,” I answered, and collected the gift. She smiled and walked away. “Wow! It seems like someone is becoming a celebrity,” Nanny Linda said, coming to hug me on her gorgeous green dress. “Maybe,” I allowed the smile to slip off my lips. She chuckled and nudged my shoulders “Instead of sulking here, why don't you join your husband?” Husband. The word resounded in my ears. I trailed her gaze to where Damian was. He was sitting and drinking wi

If Damian glares could kill, I would be a thousand steps from the surface of the earth.“Thank you so much Mr Tim, and Mrs Crystal for the breakfast. We would get going,” I told Damian’s parents. Mr Delance winked and gave me a smile. His wife, Crystal, however opened her arms to me for a hug. I went in and enjoyed her bosom.Grumpy, Damian said “I will be in the garage,” with that he left the dining room and through the corridor.“Do have a lovely day, bye!” I waved before taking to my heels. “Bye, sweetheart” I heard them say.I followed the same suit as Damian, and just as I was about to head out the open front door, I caught a glimpse of myself in a large, round mirror hanging on one of the walls in the hallway, situated just before it. I ran my hands through my hair and wished I did more than applying a lipgloss.“Took you long enough, ma’am,” Damian snarled at me the moment I showed up at the garage.I smiled nervously.***The traffic lights ahead of us turned from green to or

“What?” my eyes widened in shock. How could Dad say that?“Yes, you heard me right.” He said into the rearmirror, “You are going to seduce your husband, Damian, and get pregnant.”I shook my head in anger.“Oh, yes you will!” he said. Just then a car horned behide us. Dad kick-started the car again “You are going to give me a grandchild, an heir that will seal the fate of the Wrights and Delance,”“You are cruel,” I said angrily, hugging my jackets and fighting the urge not to cry.Dad shrugged, “whatever, someday you are going to thank me for my decisions,”“Yeah, your vile decision that has made Steph and I enemies,” I hurled at him“Oh please, Pumpkin,” he chuckles “don’t act innocent with me. I knew when Steph begged you to marry Prince Karim, so that she could marry Damian but you refused!”“What?? Are you kidding me right now, Dad? How can y—ou??” I asked, choking back the sobHe continued, “You still held on to Damian despite knowing that your twin loved him. I told her the tru
