Immediately Regaleon and Wilson walked out of their house, Skyler turned over to her with a questioning look and her arm around her chest looking like a nagging mother.
"Dad??!!. What's the meaning of this?? What does he mean 'what's mine' are you sending me away?? Did you sell me out?? ".
" Look baby. Daddy loves you but you see..... Daddy owes Mr Grafton a huge sum of money" Greg explained as he held her arm leading her to the couch " And he seemed interested in you. He agreed that once you agree to marry him, he will support out family, clear our debt and act as an alliance with the company. "
" But dad. I don't like him. Samantha really likes him. I feel uncomfortable about this"
" Baby she will get over it okay. Listen to me. Please you have to do this okay. If you do this we'll be able to pay for your mom's bills and she will get treated. Or perhaps you don't want that"
My mom.... But...
She sighed deeply as she looked at her dad who was trying to coax her softly.
" Do you really have to think about this. I mean the Yates family has done you a great favor by training you. Why can't you help us back to atleast show your gratitude"
Emma said as she walked in, she kissed Greg on his lips before turning to Skyler.
" If you don't want to marry him then, why don't you allow Samantha get married and help us"
" Aunty..... I didn't choose him... "
Skyler tried to explain the situation to her but was cut off with a single wave of her hand. Emma's face was contoured with displeasure as she looked at Skyler.
" What do you mean you didn't choose him. Perhaps you seduced him with that stupid face of yours. "
" That's enough Emma. Mr Grafton has already made his selection. We can't afford to offend him. "
" But. Honey.... Samantha met with him before this whore... "
" Emma!!!. She's is not a whore."
" Ohhh..... I see, you are siding with her now. Fine do as you please. " She said as she walked up to skyler and whispered into her ears." Don't forget. You're just a pawn in this game. I'll make sure to bring you down once we get stable "Skyler knew her stepmom didn't like her and she had always try to push her away and replace her opportunity by fixing Samantha but.... She was their only bargaining chip on to save the family and her mother. If she turned down the offer only only the family will suffer great loss but also her.
She ignored h
Emma and looked at her father.
" Dad. I'll marry him. Besides aunty is right you sponsored me and if I refused to help now isn't that also called selfish. Besides my mom also gets to be treated which is a win for me"
Emma's face turned green with anger, she had expected Skyler to refuse but she agreed, seeing her made her so angry that she stomped her feets and went upstairs. Greg on the other hand was overjoyed that he hugged her.
" That's my girl. I knew you were a smart child. You've made dad proud"
Skyler smiled. It seems like they were weary of her but... She didn't care she was doing this for her mom.
" I have something to take care of I'll be back soon."
" Take your time"
She nodded her head as she walked to her room and changed her clothes and shoes before leaving. She had a boyfriend but she was leaving soon to another man so it was best if she ended things before leaving. To avoid further complications.
Ohh. My Brian. It hurts to end thing but....you probably deserve better.
She took a cab to his apartment, after buying his favourite flavor of cake. She opened the door with the spare which she had. Immediately she walked inside she noticed his shoe and coat in the living room but he wasn't there.
Maybe he's upstairs. She thought.
" Babe??!!".
"..."
She made her way up but before she could call out again she heard strange sounds like a woman moaning loudly coming from his room.Skyler's brain malfunctioned for a while before rebooting, she pushed the slightly opened door wide and it revealed something despicable. Her boyfriend was having sex with another woman, he was cheating on her. She wanted to leave immediately but she couldn't leave without doing what brought her here.
" Brian." She called out not too loud and clear enough to catch his attention, she heard him cursed multiple times as he climbed down the woman.
Another shock, Skyler's eyes widened in horror it was her stepsister, Sophia. But she was after home. She rubbed her eyes to ensure that she wasn't hallucinating.
" What's the meaning of this??"
" Babe. I swear it's not what it looks like."
" Ohh, really?? " She wanted to laugh. She caught them intimate and he had the nerve to say it wasn't what it looked like. Ha. Funny..
" I clearly caught the entangled with my sister and you say" it's not what it looked like". You were cheating on me" she said raising her voice higher.
Brian's anger flared immediately. " Can you stop being over dramatic. It's not a big deal"
What??!!!.. you cheated on me and you have the nerve to say it's not a big deal??!!. " She felt like losing her mind. She paced around the room like a headless chicken.
" I love you but you never gave me what wanted, what I wanted to feel, I wanted to feel a woman's warmth against my skin. But you never agreed. All we have done is hold hands and hug each other. No kisses. So she stepped in and decided to show me what you couldn't give. "
Ha!!. What I couldn't give. What I couldn't give. Tears filled her eyes as she stared at him then Sophia who was on the bed.She laughed awkwardly as tears rolled down her face.
I'm so unlucky. Why??!!. Why don't I get the good things in life. Why do I have to go through so much pains. Why??!!!.
I loved him so much, I really loved him and this is what I get in return. Ha. What does it matter. My family has sold me out so what difference does it make.
She wiped her tears and smiled at them. " Well...
I guess I'm been overdramatic. Well. This, kinda helped me with my purpose for visiting."
Brian stared at her with confusion written over his face." Purpose for visiting??. What do you mean?? ".
" I don't need to explain myself when we aren't going to be together again. Brian let's break up. I don't really need your answer but I'm breaking up with you. "
She felt a dull ache in her heart but ignored it. She faced him with a straight, cold face. Brian laughed at her statement.
" You can't be serious. Breaking up with me??. Perhaps you've found someone new. So tell me who's he??. "
" Stop saying nonsense. I'm leaving and I wish you guys a blissful union."
She said then walked out of the house leaving them
