Chapter 6 - Telling Joan

"Honey please have a seat i want to talk to you" Mr Felix said to his wife as she entered his room.

"Okay go on" She replied sitting down.

"You remember the promise that we made to Mr dominic's family some years back about joan getting married to his son damien" Mr Felix asked his wife.

"Yes, i remember what about it"

"Honey i think its time for that promise to be fulfilled. Mr dominic called this morning and his condition is getting worse so he requested that they get married as soon as possible Incase if he were to die any moment from now. I thought about it and I think that joan is already an adult now and so is damien so there shouldn't be any delay right?"

"Hmm.. i already thought that it was about time that they got married since they're both adults now. Poor damien I'm sure he must have waited enough to get married to her because from what I remember he has loved her for a very long time. Honey we shouldn't have kept him waiting for this long, i think its time already that they both get married"

"That's also what i thought but the problem now is joan, i don't know how she'll take the news you know we haven't told her about anything concerning her betrothal or this marriage."

"Yes, i know but she has no choice than to accept it because that's what fate has in store for her and she has to accept her fate."

So joan was called to their room and they decided to just go straight to the point without beating round the bush.

"Joan, please listen very attentively to what ever we are about to tell you now, although i know you might not like it, or you wouldn't accept or want to have anything to do with it but whether you like it or not you'll eventually have to accept it as your fate." Felix said while looking directly at joan. He then straightened up to say the main thing and break the news to her.

"You're getting married joan" He said and waited to see her reaction and how she will accept the news but what he saw instead shocked him. She quickly got up from the bed while rejoicing and went to give her father and mother a hug, mr felix was suprised because he didn't expect this kind of reaction from her.

"Thank you father, thank you so much " Joan said in excitement. Mr felix was dumbstruck for a moment, he definitely didn't expect this reaction from her.

"Well okay sit down" Felix said.

"So dad you're finally agreeing for me to get married to mason" joan said excitedly to her father.

"What! What mason? Your ex-boyfriend? No! No! No! that's not what i meant and i told you, you'll never get married to mason, so just forget about him." Mr Felix said to his daughter who looked both sad and suprised.

"Then who am i getting married to father?" Joan said looking at her father in confusion.
