One Hundred and Eleven

Felix could not concentrate. He was angry. He wished there was something that he could do to alleviate the pain of his love Mercy.

How could a father be this mean to his daughter?

If not for the fact that he didn't want to marry Mercy without her parents approval, he had a mind to just elope with her.

Afterall, he had some money stacked somewhere. Money he had been saving for such an event or he could just get Mercy pregnant and they won't say anything about it till it was far gone. That way, the inconsiderate father would not be able to ask her to abort it and would have no choice but to give him consent even if reluctantly.

Reluctantly or otherwise, if he gives his consent, he had given it and whether he is happy about it or not would not make much difference since Felix would ensure they were married immediately before he even has the chance to change his mind.

The next day, before going to work, he called Mercy to find out how she was doing.
