Intoxicated Romance - Episode 7

 

Steven:

okay, this is totally weird. I cant believe this cute little gold

digger is actually pastor solomon's daughter. Well, it has always been

said that the pastor's children are usually the worst. Her family is

so nice. Having breakfast together and chatting amicably is not

something that happens in my family. We hardly eat together and when

we do, its a business dinner or something . I interact with them and i

cant help but feel welcome, which is the complete opposite of what i

feel when i am with my family. Ever since i was given to my father

after the accident eight years ago when my mother was locked up in a

psychiatric hospital, i have never felt at home, anywhere. I have

never felt loved by My father who is a tough man who doesn't show

affection. His wife hates me, probably because i am the product of her

husband's first marriage and so does her son, James. I am on speaking

terms with her two daughters but they are both married now so that

sums up my family. Sitting here with Antonia's mother fussing around

me almost brings tears to my eyes. I miss having a mother

. I wonder

what hospital, my dad is hiding my mother.

No matter the fondness i feel for antonia's family, i still need

their land. That land automatically makes me lord over my dad's

empire, giving me the power to free my mother and i have gotten the

perfect plan to get it. From the conversation i am hearing, antonia's

mother doesn't like her fiance. He's probably the guy i punched

yesterday. I cant believe he walked away even when he saw his fiance

running away and another pursuing her. Well, this gives me the

opportunity to engage my plan. Thankfully, pastor Solomon has never

seen me. He has never agreed to meet with me and now, it will play to

my advantage. Antonia and her mother's argument gets heated and i

clear my throat to interrupt them.

"excuse me ma'am but i have a meeting in an hour and i have to talk to

antonia before i leave. Do you mind if we go out to the eatery across

the street to talk?" i ask

"yes!"

"no" antonia and her mother answer at the same time.

"you can take her, my son" Mrs Solomon says then give her daughter a hard look.

"stop being rude to your boss and hear him out. Its about work right?"

her dad says

"ofcourse dad. What else could it be about?"antonia asks defensively.

Her reactions is going to make them suspect something is up. I am sure

they don't know about their daughter's immorality.

"i just need her to say yes to an important request of mine" i say

"oh, she'll say yes" Mrs Solomon puts in and i laugh. Antonia just

narrow her eyes at me.

"let's go?" i say and stretch my hand toward her for her to take but

she just drop the plates she was carrying and walk ahead of me.

"make sure you say yes darling!" her mother calls from behind us. I

smirk to myself. She may be joking but what she doesn't know is that

her joke isn't far from the truth.

Antonia and i walk in silence until we reach the eatery where we sit

at a table at the back. I watch antonia for a while thinking of a way

to go about this. I hear the eatery's door open and close, then i

notice antonia's eyes go wide. I turn towards the door and see a guy

and a  very pregnant lady walk to a table. The guy is very attentive

to the lady as he helps her sit and kiss her cheeks lovingly. Why is

antonia so fixated on them, i wonder. The guy walks around to the

chair opposite his pregnant wife or girlfriend and now that he is

sitting, i see his face fully. This is the same guy that was with

antonia yesterday. Oh no. If he is her fiance then this is bad. The

guy and his pregnant companion doesn't notice us due to where we are

seated.

. I turn to look back at antonia and notice her eyes are shiny

with unshed tears. As soon as she sees me looking at her, she sniff

back her tears and smile at me but i am not fooled because antonia

wouldn't normally smile at me. She is just trying to mask her pain

from me. I go to say something, i don't even know what but i stop when

the waiter brings us two glasses of water and the menu. Antonia thank

the waiter and pick her glass of water.

"What do you want from me?" she asks as she tip the glass to her

mouth. Well, if she doesn't want to beat around the bush, i wouldn't

either. I look straight into her beautiful eyes. Okay, stop. Where did

that come from?. I just need her for her land and she probably needs

me for money so no more thinking of how beautiful her eyes are. I

shake my head to clear my jumbled thought.

"i want you to marry me" i drop the bomb and watch as antonia spit out

the water she was drinking all over my face.
