Chapter 5

Mikel stopped his car in front of a villa. It was quite big but not like his own. This was where his father lives.

A man whom would be the gate keeper came opening the gate which Mikel drove in.

"Act the role of my wife well, don't let my dad ever know because of he does you'll see my wrath"

Able to park in the right spot, he got off the car without a single word. Erica knew she had to follow suit .

Arriving at the huge sitting room. She was marveled, not at the size but the design. Golden carpet with white sofas (with gold design) . The house was beautified with gold and white.

"Morning young master" a maid said bowing .

Mikel didn't respond.

"I'll go call him "

"No need " they heard an hoarse voice. All they direction heading up. Mr Harris (Erica father walked downstairs) .

"Father" Mikel said bowing his head. Erica looked at the man who was bowing, he never bowed for anyone .

She was lost that she didn't bow until she met Mikel dark eyes, she immediately knew her mistake.

She bowed. Mr Harris smiling.

"Welcome,I finally have to see my daughter in law, let's sit, what are we doing standing?"

They sat on the sofa. They was silence for a while until Mr Harris spoke.

"Since when would you tell me you got married if I didn't have people watching?"

"It's not that father... Mikel was explaining when Erica interrupted him.

"It's not that uncle, I told him to keep it a surprise for you, we've been dating for two years now" She said holding his hand.

Mikel looked at the little hand holding his, she was acting out perfectly.

"Yes dad"

"Ok if you say so but call me dad" Mr Harris said referring to Erica.

"Ok Dad" she said smiling.

Mr Harris clapped his hand in celebration ushering the maids to bring up refreshments.

After drinking for a while and conversing, Mikel thought it was time to go.

"Dad I think we'd be leaving now, we'll see you another time" Mikel said standing up pulling Erica with him.

Mr Harris didn't say anything.

"Bye father"

Mr Harris didn't say anything. He stood up hugging Erica.

"Take care and if he troubles you, come to me and I'll give him a big spanking"

Erica couldn't help but laugh. Mikel was annoyed but faked a smile.

They entered the car driving home when an heavy rain started. Slowly Mikel started getting weak. He stopped holding the steering and the car was out of control. Erica immediately held the steering.

"Mikel!!, Mikel!!" She shouted but he was panting and sweating.

It was then she knew he had a rain phobia
