Riiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggg
Today is my first day at school, High School. This is also my first year.
"Hey, you must be new here" I heard a voice behind me.
"Um-"
"I'm Gina, nice to meet you"
"Scarlet"
We shook hands and she offered to show me around. Who thought that I would end up having the principal's daughter at my tour guide. We ended up choosing the same course too, so I guess we would be spending a lot of time together. My first day was really fun, all thanks to Gina. When school closed, Gina and I decided to go to our suite. First year students normally had their suites close to each other. Little did I know that a black car had been watching my every move since I arrived in the morning.
***********************
"Sir, should we follow her?" a voice said from the other side of the phone
"No, I'll take it from here" said a man who appeared to be Dylan
When the call ended, the black car moved and headed towards the office of the Prime Minister, Lawrence Ferguson.
AT THE OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER
"Sir, Mr. Dylan Daniels is here to see you" said the secretary to Lawrence
"Let him in" Lawrence replied shortly
The secretary left and Dylan entered the office. Lawrence stood up to greet him.
"Ah, If it isn't my favorite CEO, come in, come in" Lawrence welcomed him with a hug
"It's a pleasure to meet you again Mr. Lawrence" Dylan said politely
"Oh drop the formalities please"
"Ok. I've come here to ask for a favor"
"Name it son"
"I would like to marry your daughter, Scarlet, when she completes college"
"I see you've grown very fond of her"
"Yes please"
"But are you ready to wait that long?"
"I'll do anything just to make her my wife"
"Hmmm, I see"
"Ok, I'll think about the matter Dylan, please give me a few days"
"Ok Sir, thank you for your time"
The meeting was brief because Dylan wanted to see what Scarlet was up to.
Three days after Dylan's meeting with Lawrence, Mr. Ferguson's secretary finally called Dylan and told him that Mr. Ferguson had agreed with his suggestion but then, he had to marry one of Scarlet's step-sisters first.
Dylan agreed with no choice and got married to Trisha the next four days.
Dylan still stalked Scarlet even though he was married to Trisha. This made Scarlet's step-relatives hate her, without her knowing.
Dylan and Trisha's marriage was not brought out of love but because of an agreed deal made between two men. Dylan and Trisha had a secret wedding that even Scarlet did not know about her step-sister's marriage. After the marriage, Dylan never stayed at home using the excuse that he had to work. Trisha complained many times to Lawrence but the man only told her that things would work out for them. Things went on like this for 7 years with Dylan even refusing to touch Trisha until Scarlet finally graduated. When Dylan figured out that Scarlet loved writing, he decided to employ her at his publishing company after she graduated, and it worked!
But...that was when things got messy....
