" Her name is Fortunate and she's the director in my company" I said.
" Woww, your staff. hmm okay,....what happened between you two?, Is she also in a relationship?" She asked.
" She's not in any relationship" I replied.
" Okay, so what happened?" She asked.
" Let's just say she's not so Fortunate, she did something bad and I lost interest in her" I said.
" Ohh. she must have done something really bad" she said.
" In some ways, I'm glad she did" I said.
" In what way?"
" I became a changed person and I stopped being a Playboy, if not for what she did you and i wouldn't be here" I said.
" I'm using this moment to tell you that I'm indeed a changed person, I really hope you can believe me on this" I added and she sighed.
" I've made all of that my past and I'm trying to make my future a better one, I regret all my actions in the past and I want to be a better man"
" Thank you Frank, For opening up to me.....and also for being honest about it"
" So what's it gonna be?" I asked as I noticed she's about to leave.
" I'll give you feedback but not right now, I need to go home now" she said standing up and I did as well.
" Okay. I hope to hear from you soon" I said.
" Yeah I will... thanks for all this"
" Anytime"
" Bye Frank" she said.
" Bye Bella" I replied then she went out of the restaurant.
Woww, this is one hell of a date, I can't believe I actually said all that.
I wonder how her perspective about me will be now, now that she knows more about me, I guess I'll have to wait and find out.
Bella's POV
.
I parked the car in the garage after getting home from the date I just had with Frank, and I stayed in the car to think.
I can't believe all he just told me, he has probably slept with every lady he came across with.
How am I supposed to marry someone like that. God, why am I in this position? Why am I left with no choice.
If I'm going to do this I need to make a safety plan or else I might hate myself for this decision.
I got down from the car and entered and everyone came out one after the other to meet me like they've been expecting me.
" Welcome back dear" mom said as I sat on the couch.
" How did it go?" Dad asked.
" I have a feeling I will regret this decision am about to make" I said.
" Why do you say that?" Mom asked.
" I just have the feeling though he told me he's changed but I don't believe him not after all he told me"
" People like that don't just change overnight" I added.
" Bella, if you're not okay with this. we can still stop this,...I don't want to make you feel guilty" dad said.
" No Dad, it's okay. I'll go along with the marriage" I said.
" Are you sure?" He asked.
" Yes Dad, but I have a condition" I said.
" What condition?" Dad asked.
" The wedding has to be a court wedding" I said.
" Court?, why do you want that?" Mom asked.
" It's for safety purpose, I have my reasons" I said.
" Okay then if that's what you then that's what we'll do... I'll inform Mr Nelson immediately" dad said.
" I'll be in my room" I said then went to my room.
Fortunate's POV
.
" What do you mean the company is merging?" Cynthia asked after I told her the news from work.
" That's what we are told" I replied.
" Is the company unstable or in any form of debt?" She asked.
" No, the company is perfectly okay but according to what I heard, the president is trying to help a friend" I said.
" Wow. that's something" she said.
" Now there's something else"
" What is it?"
" My boss Frank is marrying the daughter of the other company, I think she's the reason for this merging" I said.
" Woah, you mean they don't even know each other?" Cynthia asked.
" Seems like it cause I don't think my boss is happy about it, the girl just ruined all my plans" I said.
" What plans are you talking about?" She asked.
" To get him back of course, he came to me first remember" I said.
" And I thought you said he rejected you" she said.
" We are working it out. we are making progress and I'm very sure if it's not because of this merging he and I will be together by now" I said.
" Well, there's nothing you can do now. We are getting married remember" she said and I turned to her angrily.
" Why do you say that as if you don't want the two of together?, remember you're the reason we aren't together by now" I said.
" Seriously?, we are back to this again?" She said then I realized what I just said.
" I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. it's just that I won't forgive myself if he and I aren't together" I said.
" What do you intend to do?, please don't tell me you're going to ruin the wedding" she said.
" I don't know yet but if that's the only option I have then that's exactly what I'm going to do cause I'm desperate" I said
Frank's POV
.
As I settled down in my room I put a call through to Bella to check if she's got home.
I don't have any knowledge about dating cause I never had one so all of this is kinda strange to me.
Bella on it's own is making me nervous, telling her all about my previous illicit affairs made me regret I ever embark on the journey.
This might be my only chance to have a better life and relationship and I'll do everything to make it work.
The call went through and her phone started ringing which she picked.
" Hello Bella" i said trying not to sound awkward.
" Hi Frank" she replied.
" Just calling to confirm if you've reached home" i said.
" Yeah, I just did not long ago" she replied.
" Okay then, that's good...have a nice night" i said then I made to end the call.
" Frank" she called and I stopped.
" Yeah" I said wondering what she has to say.
" I think I should let you know that I've decided to go ahead with the marriage" she said and my heart sprang up.
" Really?, Thank you Bella, thank you" i said excitedly.
" And also you should know that the wedding will be a court wedding" I said.
" Of course, anything you say is okay by me... it's cool as long as we're together and I promise to abide by you no matter what" i said.
" And one more thing, that day must be the day the company is merged" she said.
" It's fine by me" I said.
" Okay then you can start the preparation" she said.
" Sure, right away, thank you Bella" I said.
" Yeah" she said then hung up.
Wow, I can't believe this. Bella is going to be mine legally.
The mighty Bella of Richmond Enterprises is going to marry me me.
Bella Richmond. no no no Bella Nelson wife of CEO of Nelson Group of companies Frank Nelson.
Ahhh, let's get on with it.
