The promise
HER BABY’S SECRET
Arike’s POV
A wish that can never come true. It's too late to call off the wedding. His father would definitely disown him if he does anything stupid. And that means his inheritance will be gone too. Though I feel bad for Dayo,the fact that he's getting married to someone he doesn't love but I can't let him lose everything because of me.
"The Awosika Empire is my sole responsibility now. And --"
I interrupted him. "That's you can't call off the wedding." I completed his intended statement.
"I am sorry." He apologized.
I shook my head. "it's alright. I mean..you don't have to apologize. I understand." I faked a smile.
We can never be together because he has to save his family business. And I am definitely out of his family league of women. I am not from a rich background.
I bit my lower lip as I tried to control my tears but I failed. And I just let them flow freely while my back was against him. I don't want him to see my tears.
