Chapter 3 3

Slap!

A resounding slap landed on Nicole Bush' face immediately she stepped inside the parlor of the Bush family which was her family.

Her dad did not even allow her to rest before pouncing on her.

This was her doom!

"You've really let me down. Our family has had a rough time out there for more than 10 years, and here you are sleeping with a man. That's very shameless of you!" Her father screamed.

"Dad I can explain. It was a mistake." Nicole tried to talk.

"Really a mistake? Is that the excuse you can think of? How can I be capable of having such a shameless daughter like you. You fox! I hated the day you were born." Her dad was very angry.

"Dad I..."

Clash! A glass cup was thrown at her head. It smacked and blood started dozing out from her head to her face.

Nicole tried to walk away to wash off the blood, but her father's scream made her to stop in her track.

"I will lull you if you move any inch. Stay where you are you shameless pig!"

Covering the part of her face that was aching, Nicole looked at her dad incredulously. "Dad, I am innocent."

How can you guys be so unreasonable?"

"Is that so? You are so innocent that you ended up in Samuel's bed. I always thought you considered him your best friend, how could you stop so low to sleep with him?"

That moment, the door of the parlor was pushed open.

Old master Green who was Samuel's father emerged in. He was putting on an angry expression.

Nicole's dad immediately rushed to old master Green, wanting to explain things but the old man pushed him aside she went to Nicole.

"How could you do this Cole, I trusted you and thought you and Samuel were good friends. I thought high of you, yet you disappointed me.."

Nicole felt very said. Old master Green had always been nice to her, and even though she knew she was not at fault, she was willing to take the blame now since everyone already called her all sort of name.

"It was my mistake dad, I...." Nicole was saying.

"In that case, you will marry Samuel to stop all this rumor." Old master said to which Nicole was shocked.

Excitement filled Nicole's body because she had always loved Samuel, but seeing the situation at which she was made to get married to him, she felt sad.

She was aware Samuel was in love with Riley George, yet how fab she get married to him?

"Sorry dad, but I can't get married to your son" Nicole thought it was not nice to become his wife, knowing he was In love with someone else.

"Shut up you scoundrel! Since you tangled in this sheet and ended up in his bed, she are already his wife. Old master Green, make the wedding preparations." Nicole's dad screamed.

Three days later, it was Samuel and Nicole's wedding.

Guests arrived at the wedding hall which was decorated beautifully and sat down. Samuel was filled with anger as he recalled two days ago the conversation he had with his dad.

Flashback:

Getting back home from the hotel, Samuel met his father already waiting for him in the parlor. He already knew this was going to happen.

"You are a disgrace to the Green family. How could you have done such a despicable thing. Did you forget which son you are, yet acting ignorant you slept with your childhood friend and now rumors are flying everywhere in the country of your stupid act. Despite dating Riley George, how could you do this? Now am regretting having you as my son." Old master Green was saying.

"The mistake is not from my side dad, it's all Nicole's doing. I was drunk so she took advantage of me. You have to believe me dad!" Samuel tried justifying himself, yet his father would not believe a single words from him:

"A thief will not agree to be a thief right? In that case to stop my reputation from being ruined, it's only best you make Nicole your wife."

A shock was written on Samuel's face.

"What? I can't dad!" He said .

"Why not? "

"I am in love with someone else which you know. You can't expect me to get married to Nicole." Samuel was saying.

"Then If that's the case, I will take back the CEO position from you as well as disown you from this family. It's either you get married to her, or choose Riley and lose everything. And don't think am joking because I already Informed my lawyers."

"Dad you can't do this to me. Tell me you are joking?" Samuel was too shock at the terms given to him.

" Is it a yes or no so I call my lawyer now? Old master Green brought out his phone and dialed his lawyer's number which happened to be their family's lawyer.

"Alright I will do it! I will get married to her!" Samuel said screaming so his dad wouldn't say anything to the lawyer, because doing that would be his doom'

"Good! Get prepared then. Three days from now, you will be getting married to her."
