Marry Me

May was trying to open the washroom window but her hands were shaking. She needed to keep calm, stop crying, be brave and think on her feet

She was in so much trouble but going back to that house without a husband was going to be the death of her.

Enough of all the insults and maltreatment from her stepmother.

Why was she insisting she marry her cousin?

Instead of her cousin, May told her stepmom she would rather remain single for the rest of her life.

Henry came up with this plan. Poor Henry as the tears started running down her cheek

She told Henry that getting married will be disastrous but he insisted that it was the only way.

She had gotten so close to Henry her driver and they have only shared a kiss but for him to die like this was so wrong on all levels

Immediately her Dad passed the board members made her step-mum the CEO of Zetec corporations for the stability of both their corporation and their stock.

The board members and shareholders believe it was the only way since the Luthers held the largest shares

May was 17yrs and her brother was just 12yrs and her stepmother told everyone who cared to listen that her dad name her brother the heir to all his fortune

The company lawyer said Mr Luther put a time frame to the reading of his will so for peace, Mrs Luther became the new CEO

Zetec was one of the fastest IT growing corporations in the county.

They produce drones, Computers smartphones, smart cars, and games. Her dad was an IT nerd who tried venturing into the manufacturing of smart Aeroplanes but he passed before the deal was finalised with the biggest Aeroplane and Aerospace company. SpaceX_Rex

It was Zetec's highest deal ever and her dad almost seal the deal before he passed.

Her stepmom made life that year unbearable. 1st she took away May's phone.

She stopped May from going to school, saying it was of no use since she was getting married to her cousin soon,

Her step mum tried isolating her from the rest of the world

She  constantly abused May, telling her she was left without a dim and because she promised May's dad to take care of May, May's only option was to marry her cousin, she was going to take care of all May's need and the best way was to keep it in the family

May had no one to talk to while mourning her dad, on the other hand, her stepmother never stop to party, they say people grieve differently

May had been kept locked up in the house, Her step mum kept her away from the world, from friends from school, her mothers sister, everyone. It was like she was placed on house arrest

She was so lucky her dad gave her a new smartphone two days before his death

She felt it might be a new phone he was working on so he told her to hide it like her life depended on it.

Her dad secretly hides most of his innovative and new technology with her saying it's because of the rival company so he tells her to keep it safe like her life depended on it.

She still could not unlock most of the features but she called her best friend Stella who reached out and called her aunt.

Her mother's sister came visiting and insisted that she be sent back to school or May will emaciated

May asked Henry the next day as they drove to school what emaciate meant

It was Henry who suggested they got married after school today knowing today was her 18th birthday and also because activities in school on Thursday make her get home late

Today was her 18th birthday and only Henry wished her happy birthday, she miss her dad

She just took a minute to go change from her school uniform to a beautiful white silk dress her dad got her as a gift from one of his many travels

May heard sounds like people were struggling as she Peep she saw 3 men in black suits hitting Henry and asking him about May.

The next thing they brought out a gun and shot him on the head.

Search the building her mum says to drag the bitch home said BJ her step mum head of security and the one that just killed Henry

She need to get out of this building, as she applied more pressure the window finally opened and she went through it into the busy street

May had been a sheltered child she was not street-smart but her dad could always tell her a thing or two about survival

She ran straight into the big shopping mall she believe places like this have cameras that's what her dad always says

May when in danger don't run to the bush or dark alley always run towards the well lit area or a shopping mall, a mall always has lots of cameras

A shop that sells men's items will be the last place they will find her.

As she enter the sports shop she saw Bjs right-hand man Buddy running in her direction so she ran into the bathroom and shut the door

Easy little one you can do that says a handsome man with blonde hair, blue eyes and pink lips,

As she put her fingers to her lips notify him to shut up and she put both hands together appealing to him

The man noticed her hands were shaking and all of a sudden he heard footstep

Buddy you sure the bitch ran into this shop, I saw a girl with red hair that looks like May entering this shop.

She whispered to the man. Please help me.

Just then someone was trying to open the lavatory door and the man responded

Am busy can you try the other toilet, sir?

May could hear  BJ saying,

we need to drag that bitch home or her stepmom will kill us.

What about Henry?

I told Bulldog to take care of his body as they left the area.

Now May ran into the arms of the new man thanking him.

With tears in her eyes, she thanked him

Easy Tiger what is going on?

May told him that her Step mum bodyguard just killed her driver Henry cos they tried to get married

Wow this is deep

Why were you trying to get married don't you think you are too young for Marriage or are you pregnant?

She told him she just turned 18yrs today and her step-mum wants her to marry her cousin, so to have her freedom and avoid marrying her step mum cousin her driver suggested they get married.

Now he is dead and she can't go back

to that house without a husband because she knows that her stepmom was planning a society wedding for her cousin and her

For an 18year old you sure have a major problem

What's your dad saying about all this marriage nonsense asked the handsome stranger

My dad passed last year

Am so sorry said the handsome man

Don't you have relatives?

She said just an aunt but her dad won the court case against her when she wanted to keep me.

May started crying I don't know what to do. I need a husband today.

Light bulb idea as May asked the stranger

Sir will you marry me

He was shock

She continued because she could see he was shocked and she did not want to lose him

Only for a month till I will be on my feet and find myself a place to stay and work

This little girl was not his concern but he always believed that faith always play a major roll in bring two people together but not in the lavatory he smiled

Do you want your step mum to kill me?

Asked the handsome man

I will stand in front of you when we get home and lock you in my room

He just laughed

You said to marry you for a month

She said yes

He said this could be interesting

I will marry you for a month but I need to make a call
