He got up and walked out of the Office.
Ryan were was already there seated and she dud something on her phone.
Romeo sighed on seeing her and walked over. He pulled out a chair and sat down.
" Mom..." He called to get her attention.
She put the phone aside and smiled. " What should we order for, I want to take a drink. " she said.
" Mom, I know you didn't just call me for coffee. " He argued.
" Waiter..." Ryan called out loud and a young girl came to them.
" Yes Ma'am.." she says politely.
" Bring me a glass of lookwarm water. " Said Ryan.
" Okay Ma' am.." The waitress said and left.
Romeo looked at her impatiently.
" Mom, Why did you suddenly call me ? " He asked.
" Trina is coming here. "
" For what ? "
" To talk about your wedding. " Ryan was serious.
" Mom, I..." before Romeo could finish he saw Trina enter the Cafe. She was in a white t.shirt, jeans and sneakers and she held her cross bag in her hands. After spotting Ryan and Romeo, Trina stopped walking and stared at them.
" Here she is.." Ryan smiled while she got up to go to Trina.
" Mrs Walter..." Trina said.
" Come with me.." Ryan led her to the table they were seated.
Romeo looked away in anger and he gritted his teeth. Ryan even pulled out a seat for Trina to sit.
" Thank you Mrs Walter.." Trina said while she sat down.
" It's nothing to thank me for. " Ryan said while she sat back in her spot. Trina's Seat was opposite Leo's and she could see that was avoiding her.
" Waiter, Get her some coffee ! " Ryan ordered.
" Romeo...let's get back to what brought us here.." She said to get his attention. He looked at her quietly.
Trina stole glances from Romeo and kept silently too.
" Won't you guys say something ? " Ryan asked.
" Mom, I told you already. " Romeo now looked at Trina.
" I am not marrying her.." he concluded.
Ryan giggled and turned to look at Trina. " Dear, Don't mind about his opinion. Today I am here to hear your answer. "
Trina looked at Ryan and swallowed hard. She really didn't want to marry yet but she had no choice since she had to pay back Ryan and the landlady too.
' Trina, Be strong and courageous ' Trina remembered her mother's words and turned to look at Romeo confidently.
" Romeo, Your mother is a good friend of mine. And she has helped me with a number of things, So.. If het wish to make me get daughter in.law, Who am I to refuse ? " Trina asked that he chuckled in disbelief.
" Are insane ? Are you also saying yes to this marriage ? " Romeo questioned.
" I am in .." Trina declared.
Ryan clapped her hands in joy and said.." oh my, Trina is finally becoming my daughter in.law.." She jubilated and took the glass of water in one gulp.
Romeo angry banged the table with his palm and yelled.
" I say no to this ! " He got up.
" Romeo, What's wrong with you ? " Ryan asked
Romeo ignored her and gave Trina an evil eye. " Follow me right now ! " He said and walked away.
" Don't worry he will not harm you. Go ahead ! " Ryan encouraged Trina.
Trina followed him to the elevator and when they were inside he held her shoulders and pushed her hard to the wall.
He looked at her furiously that she could see the anger in his eyes and thus scared her.
" What do you want from me ? " He asked.
" I don't want anything. " She said.
" Then why are you marrying me ? You know very well that I can't love you. " He said.
" Who said i want your love ? " Trina asked after gathering the courage to answer him back.
This made him more angry and he held her chin and made her look into his eyes.
" Tell me now, What do you want ? " He asked.
" Stop acting dumb, What else would I want from your family except money ? " She asked.
He felt the anger in him rise to its fullest and squeezed her chin hard.
" Hi..you are hurting me.." She begun cried while her hands hit his chest but his hold was too strong.
With much anger Romeo released her chin and she sighed with relief.
" I am going to marry you. But don't be proud. You will never be a wife in my eyes." He spat out as the elavator opened and left.
Trina remined inside with worry on her face, her mind and heart, was she really supposed to marry such a cruel man despite Ryan's wishes.
She slowly walked back to Ryan who was very composed waiting for her return.
" Where did Romeo go ?" She asked with concern.
" He went back to his office, he had work to finish I guess." Trina responded.
" So what did you guys conclude with ?" Ryan asked.
" He' said he will marry me." Trina spoke in a simper.
" I knew he couldn't refuse. I know it will be tough but trust me, He's gonna love you one day." Ryan spoke with seriousness which Trina couldn't easily believe not after all the words blabbered by Romeo.
She just responded with a simple smile.
