"Dad...you can't be serious... there's no way I will get married to such an old man"Angela exclaimed.
"You leave me with no choice but to marry you off to Mr Richard"Mr Williams, Angela's father said as he stood up from the sofa.
"Dad,do you even know the person you're going to let your only daughter marry?,he's old enough to be my dad"Angela retorted
"You leave me with no option.Mr Richard will be throwing a party this weekend,if before then you don't introduce a guy to me then you will have to get married to Mr Richard "Williams said as he left the living room.Angela turned back and looked at her mom who sat on the sofa opposite where she stood.
"Mom... please don't let dad do this to me"she pleaded as she walked over to her mom and knelt in front of her, placing her hands on top of her mom's knee.
"I'll see what I can do princess but you should also try your best.we know you have someone.Just bring him to us that's all"Isabella, Angela's mom said.Angela did not say anything,she just gave her mom a funny look as she stood up.Isabella also stood up and looked at her daughter.
"Why are you hiding him from us?"Isabella asked her daughter.
"Mom like I said,I don't have anyone "Angela replied.Isabella sighed.Angela keeps saying the same thing everytime this conversation is brought up.
"I'll talk to your dad,but I'll advice you do the needful.Viv talk to your friend."Isabella said as she went to her room to meet her husband.
"what a life"Angela said as she sat on the sofa.
She is the first and only child of Mr and Mrs Williams.She'sonly 22 years but her parents are forcing her to get married.Well you won't blame them.Mr Williams owns a company but his daughter runs it.Every thing has been going on well until Williams heard a rumour at the office.So many people said Angela was a lesbian.Mr Williams did not want to believe that so he started observing his daughter and he found out that he has not seen his daughter with an opposite sex.He first thought it was because she was always working so he gave her some weeks off but he still observed the same thing.He had not seen his daughter with a guy before.The only person he usually see his daughter with is her childhood best friend, Vivian.So he threatened her that he was going to marry her off to one of his business partner who already had five wives.
Angela even got more frustrated when she remembered that he is a married man.
"Ahhhhggg....."Angela frustratingly yelled as she carried her bag and stormed out of the living room even before her best friend could say anything.Vivian also took her bag and followed her friend.She entered the passenger seat while her Angela was already on the driver's seat as she drove out of her father's compound.
* * * * *
"I can't believe dad is doing this to me"Angela said as she slumped on the sofa in her living room.She and her best friend stayed in a one story building not too far from Angela's parents house.Angela had moved out of her parents house when she was 20 years.
"It's hard to believe right?"Viv said as she sat beside her friend."But why don't you tell your parents about James?"Vivian asked again.
James is Angela's boyfriend.They have been dating for a long time.Few months ago, James had told Angela that he was going out of the country to do his Masters,she was so sad about this but he had told her to wait for him because he was going to come back for her.Angela feels her parents will not believe her when she tell them about James because he's very far away and they will feel she just made it up so that they won't disturb her about getting married.
"That's the least advice I want to hear right now"Angela responded.
"Well,I'm sorry, that's the only advice I can think of right now"Vivian said as she picked up her bag to go to her room.She had barely taken a step when something came to her mind"Or maybe a contract relationship"she said and walked away without waiting for her friend's respond.
"That's a nice idea"Angela murmured to her self after thinking about what her friend just said.A contract relationship was not a bad idea.Angela left for her room after considering the contract relationship, that was the only solution to her problem right now.
