Please Marry My Son

"Am late mum, I'll talk to you when I'm back" Ella said hurriedly to her mum who was already late for work.

"Alright darling, please take care and be very careful okay?" Sarah said.

"Okay mum. Love you" Ella said and bade her mum goodbye and rushed out of the house.

" God, I'm so late, Mrs Bianca isn't gonna take it easy with me" Ella said murmuring to herself while she continued walking so fast to reach the bus stop and board a taxi.

While she was walking so fast, just then a latest limousine splashed the roadside dirt water on her that stain her dress.

"Hey watch out you fool" she yelled on top of her tiny voice while the car slow down and whined down the tinted glass and a handsome face popped out from the window side in the back sit.

"You should watch out instead idiot, this is not your father's road, you're lucky today, I don't talk to commoners like you" that handsome face said before whining up the tinted glass and drove off.

She was stunned to hear that fool said all that to to her after he almost ruined her dress, "how dare him" She said gritted her teeth together angrily.

"Damn, today is really so bad,

first, I'm late to work and second, a fool ruined my dress. gosh I wish to just go back home but I can't risk it" Ella said while she boarded a taxi to her work place.

"I have a lot of bills to handle, the house rent bills, Mum's medicine is finished which I needed to buy again for her health purpose" she thought in her mind.

"We're here ma'am" the driver called out that jolted her out of her thoughts.

"Oh okay" she said and walked out from the car and paid the driver.

She uttered "thanks" and rushed to the entrance and breathe in and out before she entered.

"Come here Bella" Mrs Bianca said sternly while I rushed after her.

"Good morning ma'am" she greeted.

"What's good about the morning hun? Tell me what's good about this morning Bella" Mrs Bianca said angrily crossing her arm to her chest.

"Umm..I..I'm sorry, I..." Ella stuttered looking down her feet.

"Just shut up Bella, this isn't your first time getting late to work, are you even serious with your work" Mrs Bianca said almost yelling at me.

"I'm sorry" Ella said bowing her head.

"Whatever. Anyway, Mr Wilson was here and asked of you" Bianca said to Ella which got Ella to looked up.

"What!, Am I sacked?" I asked getting scared already.

"Well that's your problem, I'll just call him you're here" Bianca said to Ella again rolling her eyes.

"Don't worry, That old man likes you, I noticed that when he came here with his older son" Bianca said smiling devilishly.

"What a devil, well I remembered that day though when Mr Wilson came with the his handsome son when all staff gathered together when he was talking to us and I remembered when Mrs Bianca asked me to serve them drinks, just as I walked to them and served them the drinks.

He smiled and asked me my name, I answered him politely with my sweetest smile while he nodded.

I bowed to him and the handsome son sitting opposite him before walking back to my colleagues.

"Hey, do you even hear me or what the hell is wrong with you today" Mrs Bianca snapped me out from my thoughts.

"I'm so sorry, what did you say ma'am" I said nervously.

"Mr Wilson said you should come to his mansion, so he forwarded the address to me" Mrs Bianca said while she jotted it in a small paper and handed it to me.

I collected it and took a glance at the paper in my hand.

"Why would Mr Wilson invited me to his mansion, I really don't have any idea of what is going to happen but I just needed to go" i thought while I walked out of the restaurant since Mrs Bianca said I have to go right away.

I got out side of the restaurant and a man in a black suit walked to me.

"Hello Miss, Are you Miss Bella Gilbert?" He asked politely.

"Yeah, sorry how may I help you?" I asked getting confused.

"Mr Wilson asked me to pick you up" the man in the black suit said and opened the car door before I could say anything.

I walked in slowly still wondering and thinking about why all this invitation by that old man.

After some minutes, the car stopped then I realized we reached the mansion, so big like a paradise.

"Please come with me" the man said while we walked to the door entrance.

"Please go in, someone will direct you when you get inside" the young man said while I nodded and walked in as the door was opened for me.

I walked in and met a woman who was at her early 40.

"Please come with me" the woman said while I followed her until we reach the the entrance door after we passed through the stairs.

The woman knocked at the door then an old voice called in.

We entered while the woman bowed and left leaving me with the old man, Mr Wilson.

"Sit down, I called for you" Mr Wilson cleared his voice and said.

"Yes sir" I replied softly.

"Hmm. I called for you because I have something to offer you and I hope you cooperate with me" He said again before he continued.

"Please marry my son" Mr Wilson said to me softly.

"What! I mean what are you talking about sir?" I asked as I was stunned and surprised to hear this.

"Is this a joke or what" I thought and blinked severely.

"I mean it dear, I want you to marry my second son, he really need this" Mr Wilson said before he continued.

"I chose you because you're a very good girl and I remembered the day you helped me in the hospital."

"I was the old man you helped when I suddenly started coughing not stopped coughing, though you were so in hurry but you helped me with water but my cough was terrible while you shouted out for the doctor, remember?" He asked.

while I tried thinking deeply before I could remember the day.

"Yeah that was when my mum was admitted to the hospital, when she was sick while I was rushing back home to get something and saw this old man who I thought he needed help as he was coughing and stretching his hand for help" I thought flashing back.

"Oh yeah I remembered" I said softly and politely.

"Good you do, I thought I owned you because if not for your help that day, I should be in grave by now, I tried to know who was this girl. your concerns as you were scared and called out the doctor was a hint of you being a good and well trained girl from home. When I got to know you were working as a waitress when I visited with my son to show him around since I'll hand the restaurant over to him then I saw you, you were so respectful and made me to remembered that day" He said and drank from the glass of water on his office table in front of him, then he continued.

"So I thought of choosing this girl for one of my son and that's Richard, My second son whom I loved the most. I want him married to you for some reasons so this is my offer to you, sign a contract with me as his wife, I promise to take care of all your bills, and get your mum surgery and live fine then if anything again to clear off, I promise to do anything" the old man said smiling.

"I'm so sorry sir but I can't do this, this isn't my wish and dream to be married off to someone I don't even love or know, I can't do this sir, I'm really sorry" I said so softly and politely to sounds very respectful as I can.

"I'm sorry dear then I'll have to threaten you for this, agree to this or get sacked" the old man said smiling.

"What!" I said almost in tears.

"You can go think about it and get back to me, you can leave now" He said while I wanted to say something but he doesn't wanna hear anything again who kept saying I should go think about it.

I stood up and bowed before I left his home office , I walked until I reached down stairs and to the door entrance.

I stepped out of the house while the man that got me here lead me to the car while I got in and drove off to the bus stop where I boarded a taxi and back home.

I got home but to see mum crying.

"Mum, are you okay?" I rushed to towards the couch and knelt before her.

"Ella, the landlord just came now giving us five days to pay up or we pack out" she said and cried even more.
