Will Michelle abort the pregnancy or ignore the reason for her parents' death and live in pain forever choosing that she already fell for him?
Chapter 1 HIS FURY.
"That is the end of the will, Sir Michael. You can only have access to these properties when you give birth to your first child with a legal wife," The lawyer clarified getting Michael all worked up.
Before his father's demise,he had always envisioned how he would be in charge of all of his father's properties until certain barriers introduced themselves.
His eyes turned evidently red than that of a ripe scotch bonnet as he took steps closer to the lawyer, with no clear intentions as to what to do to him.
His tightened grip sent the wrong message to the Lawyer in the tiny office, getting the lawyer's eyes dilated while he staggered. "Ehm... Sir... what are you about to do to me? There is CCTV everywhere and it will reveal your true self to all the workers who already find you strange in this office"
The Lawyer found a way to convince him to leave before he hurts him and also reveal his identity. "I am...." Allowing his eyes to complete his unhinged heartbeat, Michael rushed out of his office letting the door slam without relaying explicitly.
While he walked down the sixth floor's corridor of the building, people avoided him such that they made for him a long line of passage with no hindrance.
Oblivious to what workers in the biggest law firm in the country owned by his father did, Michael had different thoughts running through his mind, "what do I do now? I am not about to be married to a stranger all for the sake of properties. What step should I take next? If I abandon this for too long, it goes to that cousin of mine? Nooo..... Never.
He will squander it all and still not give me ease of access to my mother's whereabouts. This is the only access to where my mother is. I need to speak with Tyler, he is the only one who will be willing to sacrifice his time for this," That conclusion made him calm as he sat inside his car.
He drove home with the mindset that Tyler would help find just about anyone good to carry a child for him and he can have access to all his father's properties in due time.
He suddenly craved cake and wine, contriving him to go down to the nearest store, he reminisced on the times that he had to learn to let go of his freedom based on his father's inferences.
His father had called him in the past "Michael, all of this will be yours if you grow up to be strong enough to not let anyone stand in your way and go against you. You can not afford to be weak and vulnerable. No one must have the power to overcome you through any weaknesses. Always cover that loophole, never let anything slide" His father's direction was encapsulated in those sentences repeatedly.
Michael grew up to be fearless, inaccessible and uncommunicative delivering a succinct expression to anyone who comes across him both in his father's world and his. His father's death took a toll on him. He wanted to forgive his father but he couldn't after a very discriminatory incident between his father and him.
He had caught his father with his fiance in his office two years ago, Before which he had been told by his father, the information at a very young age that his mother left to be with her lover. He had to live like she never existed, and he had to never allow his cousins to have access to his thoughts, flaws, worries and heart.
Although he seemed lonely, he placed his trust on only his childhood friend,Tyler and his father in the whole world. He never could accept the torment that came with his father's betrayal.
He still remembers her laps wrapped around his waist with his father's arm locking her from behind, the brittle knees of his father leaning against his curvy woman on red heels, and the condescending look his father's glance threw at him to leave.
He vowed to never fall in love, give his being to anyone else and entertain his father's advice until his life ends. The news of his father's death got to him two years after he left. Although he was sad about it, he almost celebrated his permanent freedom until the lawyer displayed a hint of clearance about his mother's whereabouts that had been hidden by his father for 17 whole years through the letter In a brown envelope. Only to rush back to his father's city to be given an ultimatum to get a lady pregnant to get the whole information he needs about his mother.
"I wish I could just suck the living information out of that lawyer. Just how can he be loyal to that kind of monster?" Michael felt he had that in mind while he parked his car in front of the supermarket but Tyler had picked his call and listened to those words. "What happened with the lawyer? Which monster is he loyal to? Your father?" Tyler's voice through the car's speaker made Michael shudder back to reality.
"Oh my! I forgot I have been dialing yours all these while. I kept my mind occupied." Michael responded. "I am sure wherever you are parked is exactly a place you mostly frequent, else there is no way you wouldn't have missed with all the absence of mind you have proven" Tyler sighed and continued whilst contacting his house help to prepare a cold bath for Michael.
"So answer my question, who is the monster? What happened at the lawyer's office today?" "I am at the supermarket close to yours. I just want to get my usual after which i will head down to yours, bear with me till then" Michael cut the call without allowing a response. He knows Tyler won't let him off that easily without an extra instigation.
Michael had a frown on his face when he saw the queue at the supermarket. He rushed down the store to order his favorite "Angel food cake" and picked 10 of his favorite wines in the store rack designed for only wines and gins. He placed 10 different wines he wanted into his cart before waiting back for his cake.
