Chapter 10:

"Don't you have privacy in this place?" Donal yelled at the lady and paused. The lady frowned. 

Before he opened the door to pee. The lady shifted some steps back.

"Em, this is for men. Women's restroom is just right beside it,"

one of the guards said. "I know..I followed him here intentionally." The beautiful lady responded.

.

"Em…what do you want from me?"

Donal yelled at the lady as he was coming back after peeing. The beautiful girl smiled, looking at him with a smiling face.

"You want to know what I want? Here is my card, call me tomorrow," she said and handed him a piece of paper. Dan stood up from where we were sitting, he quickly rushed and grabbed the paper from her reluctantly and glanced through the numbers written on it.

Suddenly, the beautiful lady grabbed Donal on the neck and kissed him on the lips. Donal eyes opened in shock as their lips locked. She left and got off him, then she rushed out of the room and walked away.

Donal stood there still, he just unexpectedly received the shock of his life, he quickly left the casino room and started walking away back home without saying a word to us..

I knew he intended to share the news with others about what had just happened to him! "But, they might be sleeping by now," I said to myself.

We stood up and followed him. On our arrival, we find out that everyone has gone to bed already, "guess we will do this another

day" Donal said and chuckled, he was very excited throughout that night.

He checked his wristwatch and it was already half to ten pm. Everybody went to his room

to take a nap.

I sat in my room feeling very sad, I couldn't believe that my father had died just barely a day before I secured a well-paying job.

I cried my eyes out inside the room. Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. I stood up and went to the door and opened it. Jack was standing right at the doorway with his nightwear.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he looked at my face full of sadness. I nodded and quietly wiped my face. "Ok, you'll be going shopping with Richard tomorrow morning, make sure you wake up early," Jack said.

I nodded in agreement, and then Jack left my doorstep and went back to his room.

I returned to my bed and laid down. My Dad's memories continued to disturb me, I was about to sleep and my phone rang.

"Who would call me by this time of the night?" I took it and glanced through the screen, it was my stepmother. My stomach twisted, I hissed.

"Why could she be calling me by this time of the night, I hope all is well?" I asked myself. "This is the first time I've seen her call since she succeeded in convincing my Dad to stop paying my school fees. She doesn't value my existence in this world. What options do I have now, to answer or to allow it to end in voicemail?" I decided not to answer any calls from her at this time. 

The following day, I woke up and quickly got prepared, I wore my 

dress and walked downstairs, others had already dressed up to 

joined me and they all sat down in the living room watching TV. 

Richard soon came out of his room and walked downstairs, "look, is anyone ready for a date?"

Donal exclaimed but no one responded. 

Richard came downstairs dressed in his fitted suit. He ignored them as usual and walked out. I was sitting down there and watched as he rushed past us.. 

I looked at the guys and they were all looking at me. I was staring at them in confusion, "Em..what's wrong" I asked."

Get your ass out there before he changes his mind!" Donal yelled at me. I quickly stood up and rushed out to meet Richard. 

He sat in his car already, his

limousine car that I never see him with. He switched on the car music and music was booming. Richard was busy shaking his head as he was enjoying the music.

I opened the car door and got in. stared around, I was amazed at the car interiors, and I had never been in one before. 

Richard suddenly started the car and began to move, I adjusted myself and sat well, as I rested my back on the car seat.

l turned and looked back. There was a car behind us. The car drove past us with speed as another one was still following us at the back. We drove for about thirty minutes and we soon stopped by a mall. 

The Door was opened and Richard's bodyguard stepped down from the car and I majestically alighted from it too.

At the moment, The crowd has already gathered around yelling

Richard's name. We've been surrounded by them. Some journalists were using their phones to record as they came to ask Richard some questions. All of them stretched their hands to meet us with their phones, some were holding microphones.

"Mr Richard, it's so nice to see you here, wow! Is this your girlfriend?" one of the journalists asked, gesturing at me, who was staring around. 

He ignored them and gently walked away from them. I was left standing in the middle of the crowd, "Hi miss, are you Mr Richard's fiance?" A reporter asked, "Hi, for how long have you been dating?""Another one asked again. " Hi, are you feeling good to be with him?" Another one asked while holding the microphone as I shifted my mouth to one side.

They all asked me several questions. At the moment, I was too confused to even answer any of their questions.

"He's not my boyfriend, who would marry a shy guy?" I yelled and stepped back. There Was a sudden silence, while I stared at everyone nervously. They kept on standing.

The screams suddenly began again, "But Mr Richard has never been seen with a woman before so you must be his girlfriend." A reporter said with a smiling face. I didn't respond to him.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed me and dragged me away from the crowds.
