Chapter 5 Time for a wedding

"I can't let the kids go to school today"

"why"

"he might take them and I don't want anything to happen to them "

"they're his kids,I don't know why you're restricting him,he took them for a paternity test that's all"

"I'm making plans to relocate "

"you and I both know that you don't have enough finance to do that or unless you want to be a beggar there"

"how"

"do you have money to afford a new house,feed the kids,enroll them in a new school,pay all the required fees. How sure are you that you'll get a job over there. Just relax and let him discover,it's time for you to be elevated and you're running away "

"you don't understand what is going on,do you"

"I do,but this is a blessing and you are looking at it like a problem,your job isn't paying much unless you want to strip for them at night "

"it won't happen "

"yes,just give this kids a complete home it won't kill you or else when the truth comes out then you will explain everything to them "

"it's not my fault,they deserve it I know that but their father is a jerk"

"I know he is but there is no choice"Brandon ran inside the room

"mummy,you have a visitor,he doesn't want to come inside so he's waiting for you outside "

"let's go check it out "Lucy suggested.

She went outside only to discover that it's the devil from yesterday-Mason,she turned to go inside but Lucy dragged her back

"is he the Mason Brooks guy"

"yes"

"he's good looking my love go ahead and talk to him"

"what are you doing here""we need to talk in private"

"I'm not interested"

"Bethany, go"

"I don't want to"

"go"

"fine". Mason walked to where his sedan was and I followed him

"Bethany Jones I need nothing but the truth from you to what I want to ask you "

"look I'm not telling you who their father is"

"you won't?"

"yes the paternity test was positive, what do you have to say about that "

"I don't know"

" why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant "

"was there any need to""

yes"

"you'd probably say that I'm one of those ladies who try to bring you down with a pregnancy and you'll have your bouncers throw me out"

"I would have requested for a test plus I'd believe you because we had sex together"

"I'm not interested in this,I'm going inside "

"let's get married ". She froze instantly on the spot when he said that word marriage. Never in her wildest dreams planned or thought of marrying him,can she do it"

"what??"

"am serious". He spoke with a straight face and she's wondering if he knows what he just said, she's never planned to marry him not in this life,I've never imagined it

"I'm not getting married to you "

"you think I'm happy about the decision,I don't even like you ". That hit her hard in the face,she felt like she was stabbed.

" You think I like you?"

"I'm only doing this for the kids"

"I know "

"but I need to think about it "

"there's no time for such decisions "

"you need to think before you leap"

"go,get dressed after the marriage you can think. I need to give my kids a better life"

"they're mine too "

"whatever,just get dressed and meet me here in ten minutes "

"it's late we'll do it tomorrow "

"I've arranged everything,just get dressed,bring your friend she'll be one of our witnesses and the kids too"

"why should they come "

"we need to take a family photo "

"ohh"

"hurry up you have just ten minutes "

"hey,I'm not your employee that you order around I have the right to come out in the next hour and if you don't wait you can get married to yourself "he clenched his fist and watched her walk away

"mummy who's that man""go inside "

"what did he say "

"unbelievable"

"how "

"I'm getting married to him "

"OMG hunnie in no time you'll be Mrs Brooks "

"I don't like the idea"

"shhh, enough with this you're looking for the right man already,have you tried shaping that man outside into the right man"

"I worked for him already,I know he's not the right man "

"try and shape him into one"

"all this wouldn't have happened if not for the kids"

"they're your blessings hunnie, I wish I was in your position "

While waiting he dialed Peter's number and asked him to get ready

"she agreed?"

"if she didn't would I call you "

"dude it costs nothing to say yes "

"be ready in ten minutes "he laughed

"I'm on my way". He called Louis -his pilot and told him to get the plane ready, luckily the weather is lovely,he arranged for someone to hack her lock and pack her valuables like documents and other important things because of you inform her before doing it she'll want to pack everything. He made sure that his house over there was ready. Now he doesn't know if he should inform his grandparents about this whole thing...ughh dilemma

He's going ahead with it and accept the punishment later. He had a call from his grandmother

"hello"

"when I said I needed grandkids I didn't mean you should impregnate any lady"he knew instantly at that point that Anne told her everything

"it's not just any lady"

"oh because you've dated her for a month you feel like you know her very well and had to get her pregnant "

"wait let me explain "

"what is there to say,you want to justify yourself, don't you know that what you did was wrong"

"I didn't get anyone pregnant"

"now you're lying "

"that was six years ago "

"six???"she asked shocked,she never knew or expected him to have a six year old child

"female or male "

"both of them are males"

"BOTH, MASON BOTH"she screamed out loud till she was coughing

"sorry"

"two boys from different baby mommas are you okay at all"

"yes,I'm getting married now"

"WHAT,to two of them "

"calm down it's one person "

"how?"

"the boys are a twin from one mother and I'm getting married to her now"

"oh,is she a reasonable and responsible person ""yes,she's independent too"

"you guys better match or else I'll give both of you divorce papers"

"she's a good person don't worry "

"she better be "she said as she ended the call.

His bride-to-be was finally ready she wore a red dress with bright dangling earrings, she left her hair to fall instead of packing the hair,this is the first time he has seen her release her hair and she's beautiful. Everytime she comes to work her hair is in a ponytail or a bun nothing aside that,her friend came out in a purple dress while my boys came out in black and white tuxedos. Her friend and the boys took the other car while we took this one.

She was looking outside through the window which made the ride uncomfortable and quiet

"why didn't you tell me about them"

"how was I meant to do that, through your phone which your secretary answers during the day, I probably should written it on a board and held it high above my head. I once worked there, telling you that I'm pregnant will arouse gossips "

"so,that's why you moved over here"

"yes""

I'm sorry "

"it's fine "

"how old are they"

"five years old "

"oh,tell me about them "

"how"

"their characters "

"Brandon is quiet and intelligent while Jordan is noisy and he plays a lot"

"what have you done to curb that habit "

"nothing "

"you think that habit is a good one "

"you're annoying when it comes to parenting,I can feel it "

"you think you're better?"

"at least I tried do you know how hard I worked just for them while you were busy partying"

"did you strip"

"no, I have some dignity "

"you should have added stripping to the queue so I'll know that you really suffered a lot."

You don't know how I felt,do you"

"your feelings are not my concern point of correction that's your problem not mine"

"I forgot,I'm sorry "she said coldly and bit her lip,those words alone made feel guilty,she continued looking outside through the window.
