". Heading for my towel I slipped and found myself on the floor' Ouch!! I screamed".

Karen," are you good?!! My dad call out.

Yes dad" I replied with my lachrymose voice.

Dad" but what was that sound!?

"It's just my jewellery box, it fall off from my hand, I lied to cover up, I hesitated to shirk from the greasy dawn floor.

As I heard a knock on my door, I hurribly jilt up grabbed my towel where I have hung it, reach out for the door knob".

" That was my dad, he had wondered what has happened in my room".

"Hi dad, I wave" wearing a fraudulent smile on my face, pretending to be alright.

Dad" are you sure you are OKEY? He asked in curiosity.

"Yes, I said to him.

"He make his way and left".

"Will join you soon for lunch" he gestured to me in agreement.

I shut my door, and headed to my wardrobe to put on my clothes.

Thought to myself, "my dad is always care".

I reach to my wardrobe put on

shortest pair of short I could find and grabbed my singlet".

And headed to see to lunch.

Aunty Lilian had made delicious meal for lunch, I help her set the table dish out the meal as my couldn't wait for us to settle with the arrangement.

Aunty Lilian have no option then to serve the hungry man.

"Why is he eating like someone that have not had food for one thousand years now".

I chuckled, not aspecting any answer".

( Alexandre Bianchi is getting to his early 60s, He is a soft spoken man,hair with a distinguished streak of silver at the temples, with a deep piercing gaze, he has a dry , witty sense of humor, and a playful twinkle in his eye.

The meal was so delicious I must testify Aunty Lilian can make an irresponsible meal" dad enjoy her meal. She had white apron over a simple yet elegant black dress,with a white blouse underneath.

She's efficient,diligent and hardworking with attention to details.

"Lilian, you should join us"

Dad exclaim as Aunty Lilian was leaving.

"How was today's lesson,karen"?

"Very well" I replied in anxiety knowing fully well he was going to ask the question

Lilian", Mr Alex do you care for some liquor?"

She interrupted,

"No"

How about fruits?"

"No" he grunt,

Aunty Lilian frowned".

She raise her eyebrows glanced at me and ask, would you like to have juice"little miss karen?".

Yes" I replied.

After stepping out for a brief moment she came back into the dining, a warm smile on her face and to my delight she was carrying a class of apple juice, the one drink that always hit a spot for me,and she settled in with us, her calm and gentle demeanour was a soothing balm to our spirit as we sat together relaxed and content".

Dad", Karen my dear I would need you to stop painting, " Pinnacle Air" are needed an accountant, since you studied accountancy I would like you to apply for it".

I felt my eyes bug out of my head in amazement, my excitement threatening to boil over as i grappled with the enormity of the situation, I almost choked on the scorching hot meal, the pain of burning food momentarily eclipsed by the sheer thrill of the moment.

I glanced at Aunty Lilian, she returned the same energy to me".

Are you serious Dad?!

"Yes"

I let out a whoop, jump out of my chair, and kiss his cheek, "you're the best father ever",I said to him.

You think so?"

I know so"

I promise, I would be a good daughter I've always strived to be, I would do anything that would bring you sorrow".

My dear", you're getting the job offer on one condition.

"How?" I smirked.

You have promise to be a good daughter already, please don't turn down this offer".

I was confuse for a moment'.

Mr Lorenzo approached me with a surprising proposal, requesting the honor of your hand in marriage, and in a shocking twist, he revealed that accepting his offer would not only mean you becoming a life partner, but also securing a prestigious job opportunity, he assured me if you accept the proposal, the office would be yours to command.

I widen my mouth in a intense surprise, paused, shook my head, and detached my chair from the table.

Tears roll down my cheeks, I was speechless for a moment".

Karen, my dear I was just looking out for you, I want the best for you.

I hate that you do painting everyday and no penny have ever come out from it".

"Really dad?"

I ran into my room, living him and Aunty Lilian in the dining, as I entered my room, slammed the door behind me, the walls vibrate, i weep uncontrollably, I never expected such from my dad, how could he" why would he say that".

Do I have to marry that Locus before things get better, a person that nearly end my life this morning, very arrogant and condescending man, he needs to learn some manners, he don't know how to treat a woman.

(In a heart-stopping moment, Locas almost ran her over with his car, the vehicle's tires screeching in protest as it came to a sudden halt just inches from her trembling body.

She unleashed a blood-curdling scream over her voice echoing through the air at the top of her lungs, as she stood frozen in terror, her eyes wide with fear and her heart racing with adrenaline".

With fluid motion, he swung open the door of his sleek,black car and stepped out, his tall, imposing figure commanding attention as he emerged from the vehicle,his eyes scanning the surrounding as he took in the scene",

What's with you miss?",watch where you are heading" he exclaimed with and authoritative voice.

Karen", you watch how you drive" you almost run me over". What where you thinking, driving so recklessly?" Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

She exclaimed as she was still shaking with fear.

"Seriously,miss? You're lucky I've got good reflexes or you be singing a different tune right now. As it is,I'm late for a meeting and i don't have time to coddle you. Just watch where you are going next time").

"The encounter left me feeling rattled and annoyed, but what really bothered me was the lack of empathy, the lack of understanding that his actions had consequences. He didn't seem to care that he had caused me fear for my safety, and that was a difficult pill to swallow.
