rebellious

 Ruby is sitting in front of David in the living room. She doesn't have the courage to look at David in the eye and answer back. It felt like something sucked out all the strength from her soul. She couldn't imagine David would behave like that. The 65 years old man got down on his knees and asked her to be his daughter. He meant daughter-in-law but he preferred to say it that way. She doesn't know how to refuse this man, she doesn't know how to refuse the earnest request of this man. His words still ringing in her ears, " When Brian's mom was pregnant with Brian, I hoped for a daughter. I wanted her to be brave, I wanted to have a little princess but the God planned otherwise. Brian was born. He grew up, his reckless life style and miltary career forced me to believe that he might not be able to find a partner for himself. No woman was able to tolerate him more than a week unlike you. You are the only woman that Brian really respects. I can see that why. I don...

It felt like, he didn't know this Brian. -" Parker and Glory is Hafsah's biological parents. They both passed away. Ruby was given the custody of the baby and I want to marry Ruby." Bria...

 Brian is calling his dad for the third time today. Nothing emergency, he only wants to clear up his scattered mind. Growing up, his father was the only person who was always by his side and supported him fully. But they don't talk that much. Brian can't even remember when was the last time he spoke to his father. ' Was it six months ago?' Brian wondered. He came out of his thoughts as soon as he heard "hello" from the other side. -" Is that you son?" David asked. -" Yeah dad, it's me......What's up with you?" Brian asked. -" Quite alright. Is everything okay with you? You sound a bit off. " David sounded concerned. - Brian tried to gather his thoughts for a minute. Squeezing the pen in his hand, Brian replied, " I need your help Dad. Can you come over here? I can't tell you much over the phone. But I really need your help." -"Sure! I'll be there in few hours. Hang in there, alright!" David hang...
