Dave pov
In the magnificent mansion that was built by Mr Osborne Harvard,his mansion is the biggest mansion in Mexico and he is also a close friend to the president.
Dave and his father were discussing concerning some important issues concerning the company.
Dave a tall, handsome Billionaire with a blonde hair and a charming face, many ladies in Mexico always flock around, but he is not a type of person that flirt around with ladies eventhough some of his friends used to do t, but he is a decent person and he doesn't want to have anything to do with girls, because he believes they are after his money and wealth, he knows that Billionaire guys don't easily see true love, ladies will just get there money and runaway, he believes that one day, he will meet his right partner, but he is not interested in anything called relationships.
"Daddy, I just won a magnificent contract from New York, one of there best companies gave it to me and I must do the job without delay". Dave Exclaimed excitedly.
" That is my son,I really commend your efforts over the work you are doing in my companies,that is the reason why I gave you the company to handle it, due to the incessant sickness that is happening to me" he smile.
" Daddy, you know that I used to advise you to give me the company to work on,that I am capable, you are telling me that I am not fit to be a CEO, now you can see that it is yielding a lot of money to you" Dave reacted positively.
He grinned and was staring at his father eyes who was very excited and happy that the company is moving forward.
"Dave, when I checked my email Mexico Forbes sent messages to me, that my net worth has increased again,i am still the richest Billionaire,i was saying that all these success come from my son " Mr Osborne patted Dave in the back and he shakes him.
"But there is one thing you will do for me,if you want to be the full owner of the company" he change his mood and he frown,his lips was trembling and he is head was hanging low.
'Dad is it serious,I don't like the way you are behaving,I promise to do whatsoever things you want me to do, you have made me a Billionaire" Dave jaw dropped and his heart was beating fast
"Get a wife and give birth to my grandchildren,I want to see my grandchildren,my friends children has given birth and I am always unhappy whenever I see them, because Dave didn't have a child" he spoke .
Dave stood up and he was heading to his room getting bitter with what his father just spoke, Mr Osborne dragged his hands and he sat down and he faced him,his two eyeballs were turned into red.
"Do you think you can Walk out on me, don't you know that I am your father and I have authority over you Dave" he lashed out sharp words and he clenched his fist and grith his teeth.
"Dad I can't be pleasing you all the time, you don't have total control over me either,I am an adult and you can't tell me what to do, you can't force me to marry,I have told you several times without number that I am not ready for marriage,do you want me to get married to the wrong person,do you want me to have gold digger has wife, why can't you change your orientation? You and mum are the same", Dave smile turn upside down.
" What I am saying is for your own good?" " atleast try to be
prove responsible, you are going to be 34 years by this time October and you are here saying gibberish"Mr Osborne added.
" Dad, can you hear what you are saying,i should go and get married, because marriage makes me a responsible man, I am an adult, you can't control my life or dictate anything to me" my head was hanging low and I was very confused.
"You this stubborn boy, this is the 6th
time,I have been telling you to bring a wife for me, but you are not answering,so I have gotten one for you "his eyes was squinting .
Dave stood up and he was panting in the magnificent sitting room,he was very confused and he was feeling disheartening and he face his father and he thrust his fingers towards his direction.
"How could you get me a wife and who is the lady by the way, how do you expect me to marry someone I don't love, Daddy do you want to ruin her, forcing me on a lady,i won't tolerate this nonsense from you "Dave added .
" In this house you will follow my wish and you will do anything I command you to do as long as am your father,I know what is good for you," he coughs and he sips his wine that is placed on the stool that was made by a gold,the stool worth Millions of dollars.
"Dad!! who is she tell me? Dave asked,he was so anxious to know about her .
"Ok her name is Lydia Desmond,the daughter of late Mr Desmond" he spue out those words.
" Lydia Desmond the daughter of Mr Desmond,one of our business partner,she is decent and she is a good girl,she is a wife material dear" Mr Osborne concluded.
Where I was sitting I wasn't happy at all and started talking to myself.
How can my Dad get a wife for me, how can he conclude that I should marry a lady I have not seen or a lady I don't have acquaintance with. My Dad is something else.
"Lydia Desmond! Dad is not possible,I can't get married to a gold digger or a lady that is not ok,I have not move closer to her by knowing her character", I explained.
" Do you know what,I have bought a Mansion for you in Bana island,I bought a house that cost $400 millions dollars that the two of you will live,so you won't marry in my house,I want you to be free from me" Mr Osborne replied.
" Thanks for the house Dad, but all I know is that I can't get married to pauper girl,I am going to my room," i stood up and head to my room by pressing the elevator and I got to the fourth floor and I entered into my gigantic room.
Mr Osborne was staring at the way his arrogant son was walking stealthily to the elevator and he disappeared into the thin of the air.

" Is not possible??" "step mom, how do you expect me to get married to a man I haven't seen before or the person that I don't know, that is bad now", I was panting up and down ,i don't know what to say.
"Don't you hear the insane word that is coming from your mouth,I have told you that he saved me from The company Bankrupt,I explained everything to you that,he gave me $200 million dollars to revive the company and he gave me one of his directors of the chain of companies that will help me to fix the company" Jane concluded and her teeth gritted and she raised brow to me.
"Step mom! " why can't the old man look for another woman for his son? is it because he revived my late father company,so I am the one in exchange for his company,that is so bad, A Billionaire son I haven't seen or love"My head was hanging low, I don't know what to do.
"Listen to me Lydia,I believe that Mr Osborne Harvard son,Dave Harvard will take care of you and you will be fine and ok, please I want this man to give me more money to pay my workers salaries,he promised to give me $50 Billion dollars to pay my workers and salaries and fix myself", she rubbed my shoulders and I pull her hands off from my shoulders and I stepped away.
"You can't do the way you like in my house,I am the one feeding you and I have authority over you, this is an opportunity that many ladies are looking for,so you know what it takes to get married to the son of the richest Billionaire in Mexico, please try to understand me, grab this opportunity Lydia!!".she move closer to me and rubbed my forehead .
"I have heard a lot about Dave Harvard,I heard he is very pompous and arrogant, and has no feelings for people around him, Step mom how do you expect me to get married to an arrogant billionaire, I won't take it,I love when a man is humble,I love men with good personalities, not this arrogant man" I clapped my hands in dissatisfaction.
She moved closer to me again and she rubbed her hands on my chin and she forced a smile to me, sadness clouded my features and I was dumbfounded.
"Whether he is arrogant? Pompous? or anything you are going to marry Dave Harvard,I have said mine own, you are going to follow my decisions or I will made the hell out of your life" she spoke and she continues.
" Mr Dave Harvard is coming to take you to his house,he wants you to be familiar with him and he will introduce you to Mr Osborne Harvard".
I gnashed my teeth and I gave a dirty look.
"Why is he coming to pick me? Why are you so callous and heartless, taking decisions without my consent" I spoke with a sigh of irritation.
"You will obey my command" and Jane left for her room
I knew that her decision is final,let me call and inform my friend Veronica, I took my phone from the black small bag and I dialled her number in the Android phone, I placed it at my ears and I reduced the loudspeaker so that Jane won't hear our conversation.
"Hello Veronica " I spoke
"Hello Jane,why are you calling me during this time" she interrogated me with a coarse voice.
"I am so sorry,I want to tell you that Jane has married me to Dave Harvard that arrogant billionaire and he is coming to pick me up tomorrow" I replied.
" That is ridiculous that son of a bitch, how can Jane do such a thing,I hate that boy with passion,he is very rude and pompous always flaunting his expensive clothes and money whichever place he goes,do you know the walks, he will put his shoulders high and his chin will be up and his back straight, that is ridiculous,all because of money," veronica replied.
" You are not going to get married to him, when I am your friend and I want the best for you lydia" she added .
" I just said that I should inform you,he is coming to pick me up and I am going to his house tomorrow morning" I banged the call and placed my phone on the table ,my mouth was opened in shock.
