Most times life doesn't go well as planned

Future destroyed

Ambitions changed

Happiness taken away

Dealing with uninvited change in our lives is often difficult and painful. It might come forcefully like a tidal wave or creep along incrementally like a glacier. It might come in form of devastating tragedy or difficult choices.

Dad just broke the news that will take a big toll on my life. I have no idea if it will be in the positive way or negative, but all I see is the negative side.

If someone had told me that I will get married in a week's time, I would have beaten the day light out of that person for uttering such rubbish but now it's my fate.

I had plans for my future, for Adrian, to make dad proud even though he has wealth or should I say it's now in the past because he has lost everything.

Dad would never force me into a marriage I did not consent to but this time around his hands were tied.

I sat for my JAMB exams last week and applied for University of ibadan to study Accounting so that after graduation I could help dad run the company before Adrian comes of age. Adrian is my younger brother, he is 16 ( two years older than him).

I had become his mother and closest friend after losing mum to breast cancer.

Darren Beacroft , the CEO of 'The Beacroft' entered a business deal with Jordan Scott a mafia boss in Lagos. The deal was going fine for dad until someone duped the company.

Dad tried everything possible to track him and get him arrested but unfortunately he ghosted out of Nigeria.

I only got to know about this when dad was arrested by the mafia boss and  he gave dad two conditions of marrying me or paying the huge debt which he knew dad couldn't pay because he had invested most of his profits in the big deal hoping for a fruitful outcome.

I was lying on my bed with many thoughts racing through my mind, I wanted to cry, yell or shout surely Dad and Adrian will understand but I ceased to sob a long time ago. I had learned to be strong after mum's death

I shed my last tear on her funeral.

I picked up my phone from the night stand

I turned my data on to search for his identity. At least I should know a little about him, right?

My search revealed him to be a Mafia boss; this sent shivers down my spine. His net worth is from the moon and back but that didn't matter at the moment. He looked formal in all his pictures; two pieces suit and tuxedo.
No doubt he looked strikingly handsome like a Greek god.

I decided to check his relationship status and it revealed him to be single. he has not been in a relationship for long, but how possible is that? Owing to the fact that his looks match his wealth.

His ulterior motive behind this marriage is want I was yet to decipher. Getting back at dad by taking me away hurts. The fact that we haven't met is something I am sure of.

He could have picked for himself a lady that suits his class not that I am class less but I am kinda naive.

What do I even know about marriage?

Mum where are you? I face palmed myself.

Not being in a relationship presently makes the situation better. Leaving the love of your life to live with a stranger is heart wreaking.
