Forced to marry the old ruthless CEO

"You are going through with this marriage and there's nothing we can do about it Melissa," my dad said to me like it was okay and he owned my life. " Dad I have someone I love and you know why are you forcing me to do this?" My dad had never been there for me, I lost my mom when I was 3 and my dad married Rebecca a year later. Rebecca was nice to me when she courted my dad but the moment she got married to my dad and came in with her daughter who I was a year older than my life became hell. "Melissa our company is in huge debt and the only person who can help us is Asher Kelvin. We owe him a huge debt right now. Am sure he can take care of you, baby, please help your dad." my dad pleaded but I wasn't ready to throw my life away. " Dad you want me to marry a man I have never met? Is a man old enough to be my dad? A man known to be a renowned womaniser, who is known in almost all brothels. Is that what you call taking care of me Dad? I can't do this please, I really can't". I told my dad " Okay how about the school? I have to go for my internship in a month, so how can I marry now?" I tried helplessly. " Lisa it's already a done deal, there is nothing we can do about it as I already permitted him to go ahead. And by tomorrow morning his men would come by to pick you up to go register your marriage" my dad said in a hard tone as he turned around and walked to his room quickly. " Dad!!!" I shouted at the top of my voice " Dad, how can you be so cruel? Am I just a commodity to you? Did Rebecca tell you to do this? Is this all am worth? am not going through with it you hear me, Dad? I will not " I shouted as I stormed out of the house in anger. Even though Asher Kelvin was a womaniser, he was also known to be a ruthless old man. My eyes were clouded with tears but I held them in only wishing to be in Ken's arms. ----‐------------- " You can only be mine Melissa, you're mine." He hugged me so tight like his life depended on it. "You'll be alright without me, It will take a while but you'll be fine" I gently pushed him away but he wouldn't let go. " Am sorry I hurt you, Melissa, am sorry I kept the truth away from you but please don't leave me. Lisa you've become my light, all I see is darkness without you......" His voice broke, and my heart ached so much. I love this man with my whole being. " I don't have the same feeling I had for you anymore Asher, just let me go, please. I gave you my heart for a long time but you wouldn't take it, revenge was your priority now I have someone else in my heart." I tried but he didn't let go. " Melissa please don't go, I'll do anything just don't go. You're my life, Melissa, please." I could feel his tears dropping on my neck as he sobbed gently, He raised his head to look at me still crying and I stared back into his eyes and before I knew it, I was lost in those blue eyes I couldn't take my eyes off him, He bent his head slightly and covered my lips with his.

Chapter 13: Jealous? Hell no!

I finished up all my homework and checked the time. It was just 6 pm, I was so bored and decided to watch a movie. I went to the sitting room and turned on the TV, there was a comedy show going on and I decided to just watch that instead. I watched for a while and got interested.

" Nancy, there's a comedy show going on, let's watch" I called out to Nancy who was in the kitchen. " Ma'am, I have to make Mr Kelvin's dinner," Nancy replied. I couldn't concentrate on the TV anymore so I went to meet Nancy in the kitchen.

The moment she mentioned the old man I became tense, the fear was back. Nancy felt the change in my mood

" You don't want him back?" The question was so quiet like she was expecting me to rebuke her for asking.

" He can come back anytime he wants, it's his house after all" I didn't give a direct reply to her question. Nancy smiled as she said " But you don't want him to come back, I've noticed you're happier and more comfortable in the house when Mr Kelvin is not around. You bearly even eat when he's around."

" How can I when all I do is worry when he's around," I replied absent-mindedly.

" What do you worry about?" Nancy asked with a curious expression as she paused what she was doing. I just shook my head and wave my hand dismissively.

"Mr Kelvin isn't so bad if you get to know him, ma'am." Nancy didn't look at me as she said this. Why do they keep telling me that he isn't a bad person? Gab had said the same thing that he wasn't a bad person when he's a canny ruthless ma. Would she say the same thing if I told her he kidnapped my dad and forced me to marry him?

" Why do you think he's not a bad person?" I asked her instead. I couldn't wrap my head around it.

" My Kelvin saved me plus he's nice to everyone that works for him. I understand he's called a womaniser and all but he treats every lady working for him with respect ma'am" Nancy explained. ' Well he's nice to every lady in this house except me' I rolled my eyes as I thought. Nancy saw me rolling my eyes and laughed.

" You don't seem to believe me, ma'am," Nancy remarked

" Until you tell me how he saved you I won't believe you." I insisted stubbornly.

" Okay ma'am, I'll tell you." Nancy smiled as she continued

" My dad died when I was 10 and my mom remarried, unfortunately, she married an abusive man, a gangster at that. My mom and I lived with him after their marriage. He would often beat my mom and me up until my mom became sick and died when I graduated high school. My stepdad would bet me up all the time, I wanted to go to college but each time I saved up he would give me a beating and take it from me then go clubbing, drinking and going to brothels with it. He met the owner of the brothel one day and told her he wanted me in the brothel and that I could bring her plenty of money"

"What?" I gasped and Nancy smiled.

" I ran away from home several times but he would send his boys to catch me. I was really scared he would Sexually abuse me so I locked up my room always, I even secretly added extra locks." I was smiling at her now as she chuckled. Even with her laughter, I could somehow still see the pain the felt, Nothing could be worse than living in fear every moment of your life.

" What happened next?" I had placed my hand on my cheeks now and was looking at her.

" Well, my stepdad's boys captured me and took me to the brothel, when I tried to escape I was beaten. Fortunately for me, Mr Kelvin came to the brothel that night. All the girls were excited seeing him" She laughed at the fond memory " Boss lady was happy to have him there and offered to bring the prettiest lady in the house to him and he agreed. I on the other hand was trying to escape again and got caught, Boss lady's men brought me to her when she was still in the middle of her conversation with Mr Kelvin. She lifted her hand to slap me but Mr Kelvin asked her to stop. He asked her what happened and she explained that my dad gave me to her and she gave him some money but I kept trying to escape. Mr Kelvin looked at me and asked me for my name and I told him. He told the woman he wanted me instead, Of course, she was surprised and was telling him there were other girls much more prettier than I was but he insisted he wanted me. He asked her how much she had given my dad and she told him. He offered her ten times more and the greedy woman agreed. I thought I was doomed but He took me to his car and asked me what I could do I told him I loved cooking then he brought me home and said henceforth I was the cook and he would pay me like every other employee." Nancy was in tears now

" He even said I could go to college when I wanted to, I don't know how my life would have turned out if Mr Kelvin wasn't in the brothel that day." She was crying as she finished. I stood up and gently hugged Nancy and she hugged me back.

In these past two days, Nancy and I had become so close like we had known each other for a long time. She was an easygoing person and enjoyed talking but she was very respectful. I pulled back and help her wipe her tears, she kept smiling and apologising and I kept telling her it was okay.

When Nancy had calmed down she went back to cooking, to make her feel better I started telling her about cars. She kept saying she didn't know a thing saying and I laughed.

Soon dinner was ready and Nancy served the meal. I persuaded Nancy to sit and eat with me but she refused. I kept insisting and she finally gave in and sat down.

We were halfway through our meal when the door suddenly opened and Mr Kelvin came in. My heart started beating wildly the moment he stepped in. I was still looking at him when a girl walked in and held his arm, They walked towards us and Nancy greeted him

" Welcome back Mr Kelvin"

" Hello Mr Kelvin," I said in a muffled voice. He should know I wasn't happy he was back.

He just turned and headed upstairs with the girl.

" And you tell me he isn't so bad," I murmured

" Do I smell Jealosy, ma'am? " Nancy was smiling mischievously.

" Jealousy? " I laughed " Hell no!! if anything is happy " I continued eating.

" Why would you be happy your husband is bringing another woman home?" I made a face swinging my hair to show I didn't care, Nancy laughed uncontrollably.
