The Threat

"Dad, I've told you countless times, that I'm not ready to get married", I said and paced around my room.

*Alex, it's high time you realized you're now a man. Sleeping with different ladies and drinking yourself to a stupor is the highest act of irresponsibility.", my father said.

"Ugh Dad!", I said, running my fingers through my hair.

" Stop making this a big deal. I'm only having fun, I mean, I'm a young man and now is the best time to have all the fun in the world. I can't get be stuck in some marriage nonsense"

" If sleeping with ladies and drinking in stupor every day is what you call fun, then I'm sorry for you. For one thing, you're toying with STDs." He said.

"Well, that should be the least of your worries, because I use protection." I scoffed.

" Whatever. You're growing up now, you can't continue living your life like a teenager. If you keep living like this, then I guess I'll have to donate all my assets to charity".

" What? Dad, you can't be serious." I said.

" Yeah, I'm serious as hell. Or rather, I'd rather Richard take over my property than some irresponsible son.", He said.

" Dad! This isn't fair. You can't force me to do what I'm not ready to do. I'm not even capable of taking care of a family, I just want to live life and have fun." I said

" Exactly why you should get married. Marriage will give you a sense of responsibility. When I die, who will inherit most of my wealth? You! But I can't hand over my wealth to someone who doesn't want to build his life. I'd rather give Richard all of my wealth or donate it to charity since you'll squander it anyway."

" That's not necessary. Fine, I'll get married. Donating all of your hard work to charity is totally out of it." I said.

I couldn't afford to lose my inheritance. My father owned one of the biggest companies in the country. Inheriting that company alone is enough to last me a lifetime and I can't let it slip from me.

"Good for you. Two weeks, I give you two weeks to get a wife, else, I'll carry out my threat."

"Two weeks??? Two weeks is too small to get a wife. I don't even love anyone yet." I said.

" You don't need to 'fall in love' with her before you get married. There's something called 'love at first sight'". He said.

*Dad! That's all nonsense. No lady can fall for me at first sight." I said

" You have the looks. You're attractive and rich, any girl you meet will fall for you, so use that to your advantage." He said and left my room, shutting the door behind him.

Gosh! This man is unbelievable. I really can't allow Richard to take over what belongs to me. Richard is only my stepbrother.

My mum died when I was little and my father married Matilda. However, she already had a son before they got married. I guess my father married her because she was pregnant for him, though I still believe something about her pregnancy story sounded fishy.

As his first son, I was the rightful owner of my father's properties when he died, and not some stupid Richard. My father truly sounded like he'd carry out his threat. I can't allow him to take what belongs to me, I'll have to marry someone somehow. But how the hell am I supposed to find a lady, fall in love with her, and marry her within two weeks?

Just then, the door burst open and Adriana walked in. Adriana was my girlfriend. Well, not 'girlfriend' per se. We met at a clubhouse and we hooked up. Since then, she had become my constant fuck mate. It was more like a friends-with-benefits sort of relationship. We had sex together whenever I needed her and in return, I spent my money on her. Though I still had sex with other girls sometimes, Adriana was my main girl.

"Hey babe," she said and walked over to hug me. We kissed for a couple of seconds and she sat on my bed.

"What's up with you? You look miserable" she said

"Nothing much, just a little argument between my dad and I" I replied, scratching my head.

"Yeah, yeah. Tell me more", she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

She and my dad never saw eye to eye. My dad disliked her because she was 'indecent and unfit for me' and he never liked any girl I brought home. He believed that they were the reason for my being irresponsible, so he hated them. "They're all whores and gold-diggers", so he claimed.

"Speaking of your dad, I saw him outside on my way here. He looked angry. Do you want to talk about it? She asked and looked at me inquisitively.

"Uhm, it's nothing serious. It's just that he wants me to get married and… "

" He wants you to get married? " She scoffed.

" Yeah. I tried explaining to him that I wasn't ready yet, but he wouldn't hear of it."

" That's nonsense. Marriage is just like caging yourself. He really needs to chill and take a break. You're not some baby he can control." She said.

I sighed. Suddenly, something crossed my mind.

" Adriana", I said

" Yeah, babe" She responded as she caressed my hairy chest.

" Don't you think it's time we got married? "

" What? " She said and stood up abruptly.

" What are you talking about babe? We've talked about this before, I don't want to get married. I just want to live my life, no marriage nonsense, no stress, no kids, just you and I." She said and kissed me slowly, caressing my hair. I kissed her back and held her waist. We kissed passionately and I slipped my hands under her gown.

She wasn't wearing any panties! Jeez Adriana really is a whore

She stopped me from going further and began to unbutton my trousers…
