Laurel's father's POV
"It was because I don't want our relationship to end up like the way mine and your best friend did and who knows if we both join hand and do the business I was into then, you might get shot and end up like your best friend who doesn't have a womb anymore." I said while I waited for her to say something.
" But you took her home didn't you?" She asked but I could feel jealousy in-between those words.
" I took her home knowing my father wouldn't allow me to marry her but I didn't want to break up with her without having any reason because she can come and hut you down later if she finds out it was because of you I did that to her.
But seeing it was my dad that did that to her, she has no choice but to let go of me even though she kept coming back for some months before finally resting." I said making tears flow out of her eyes.
