Her feet hurt from standing all day on heels and Hendrick massaged them as they discussed in the back seat of the car, they had a divider that separated them from the driver.
" My dad likes you," she said, he has never been that happy with anyone the way he discussed with you today, thank you.
He smiled at her and just nodded his head. They took a turn and dropped her off at her apartment and he made sure she had gotten into the house before he went to his.
From the far end of Hendricks's home, he saw Julia his worst nightmare after all the merrymaking and acquaintances the last thing he wanted was for this woman to nag him right now, he was still in the good moment and immediately he saw her everything went sour.
"Hey, hunky," she said coming to him for a kiss which he dodged.
"How did you know I am here, who told you where I live!" he asked her upset.
Of course, she had seen on the news his engagement party and seems she had been keeping tabs on him.
"When were u going to tell me? She shouted
And there goes the nagging again he thought to himself.
"Well Julia, whatever I do with my life is none of your business, he pushed her aside and wanted to enter the house when she said," I am not angry with you all I want is a cut in the deal, at least she is going to have my man with her for some time"
"You are delusional, he said to her clenching his fat and jaw bone, all you think about is money God you claim you live me but all you care about is money, get this straight I have never been yours and would never be get this now into your thick skull, you only think of yourself and no one else, ever since I knew you there has never been a positive thing you have said to change my life or yours, its always money up and money down, hair this and hair that listen to me I never want to see you here again I don't want you being around here did you hear me?"
She was so taken aback that she was dumbfounded and also she threatened him by saying she was going to make him pay for the decision he has taken and she was going to be back for him and his wife to be.
He just dismissed her and went into the house not until he heard a screen breaking which meant Julia had done what she knew was the best violence.
He looked out from the window and saw the tires had been lessened.
He saw his mother sitting down on the couch watching him intently, he just went on to hug her hand they talked all about the evening and how things were going on at the moment he told her about the meeting with Daniella's father and spoke nothing of the incident with Julia because like always they had become used to her, being a drama queen and always seeking for attention where it wasn't necessary.
He went into his room and took a shower and rushed downstairs to have some soup that his mother had cooked. He finished and went into his room to sleep.
She too was home tossing and turning on her bed just thinking of how everything was happening. She never imagined that her life would come down to her being the one to propose to a man for marriage because she wanted to make her father proud of her.
If only her mother was alive maybe just maybe things should have been different, just maybe she wouldn't have to be so pressured in doing a lot of things to be excited, she needed her mother so bad, she looked outside her balcony and up into the skies and wished one of those stars could respond to her as a mother.
Was she doing the right thing by begging a man to marry her?
Was having the CEO position worth all the stress?
She was troubled from within and yet she didn't know who to talk to because her Father just recently started being nice to her because of this marriage she wondered what if he found out sooner than she expected what would be the use of all of this? If not for the company why would she be doing all of this it almost sounded like she was selfish.
For all she knows Hendrick was a pickpocket who almost robbed her, how did she find herself in this situation, she needed motherly advice right now, she didn't have friends to whom she could turn.
Her pillow had seen all her weak days, it had swallowed all her silent tears it had enjoyed the little joy she had ever in life, luckily she wasn't wayward else alcohol should have been her best friend but the quest to make her father happy took her away from such a thought.
With this, she fell asleep thinking of what the future holds.
*****
Julia was somewhere out of town thinking hard and fast of a plan, truth is she had been with Hendrick all through his hard times and all he could do to her was send her away when he hit the jackpot, what about the times she had to suck off dicks just so she could give him money, the times she had to sleep with numerous men, threesomes inhumane sexual fantasies just so that he was satisfied and how he wants nothing to do with her cause he has found a rich man's daughter?
He sure was going to pay for this dearly, how dare he say all she knows was asking for money for irrelevant things. There was a time she was in love with Hendrick and after a few sexcapades with him, she just wanted to be around him at least she thought he was one to understand her and she too thought he was in love with her, although she had never been one for marriage her delusional mind had made he think he was going to somehow put her in a home as a wife.
Why did men find it fun to always use women for their gratification, use them and then eventually go for those they think are good enough to be called a wife?
