Chapter 2

"You called for me Mr Daniels?" Maureen asked as she walked to where Mr Daniels sat in the garden.

"Kneel"he order. She immediately went down on her knees with her eyes on the ground.

"Have you ever heard of Leonardo Nathan Radriel?"he asked as he sipped coffee from his favorite mug.

"Um um......y.....yes I have heard of him"she sturrted.

"Okay so you guys will be getting married"he said as he re-adjusted himself on the chair

Maureen only blinked repeatedly on hearing what he said , Maureen knows best than to say anything as a form of aggurment.

she only nodded and waited for her to be dismissed.

"Get out!" he order. She stood up From the ground and bowed before leaving.

She's a princess living in her own castle like a slave.

She pushed the glass door opened and walked out of the garden, taking the stairs to her room.

Pushing her door open she walked slowly inside the room. Dhe sat on the floor bringing her legs up to her face folding her arms around her knees as she cried inwardly.

"What kind of life is this"she thought as hot steaming tears slid down her cheeks.

"Mom why did you leave me in the hands of this bastard"she thought

"Mom don't worry, I'll never let him go for what his doing, his going to pay dearly" she swore.

she sat on the floor as she tried to remember memories of her past.

She let the tears pour out of her eyes as she tightened her lips together, not letting a sound come out from her mouth.

•~~~~~•

Lilac sat on the couch in the living room, with her phone in her hand ”No!” Lilac yelled.

"Why can't I just make it to the next level"she grumbled.

"Lilac!" She heard her name from a voice that sounded so familiar.

She turned to the direction the voice was coming from.

"Oh my God ................ leooooooooooo she srceamed at the same time jumping off the chair, letting her phone to the grasp of the cold tile. She ran towards Leo and pushed her light slender body on his.

"Lilac"leo called hugging her rightly.

Lilac carried her legs up pressing her entire weight on Leo's body,

"I missed you so much brother"she said beaming with smiles.

"I missed you a lot to sis"

Leo put her on the ground, turned to his guards telling them to take his things in.

"where is Lila"leo asked,placing his hand around Lilac's neck.

”What's the noise for Lilac?" a voice said coming from the the stairs.

Leo and Lilac turned their gaze to the stairs, to see Lila coming down with a book covering her face.

"At least take your eyes away from a book for once"Lilac said.

"Why do I need too?" Lila answered taking more steps down the stairs.

"bluey!"Leo called.

The name rang in Lila's ear and she was forced to take the book away from her eyes.

Lila knows only one person calls her that, although the voice sounded more muscular.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my gwad Leo,I don't believe my eyes!"she exclaimed throwing her book on the floor.

She ran down the stairs to Leo's direction as she went.flinging herself on his body.

"I missed you brother"Lilia exclaimed.

"Missed you too bluey"

It's being so long since the twin last saw their brother, they only get to see him through video calls. As usual he was always to busy to come home for holidays.

"Where is father?”he asked putting Lila down.

"Father? his in the garden"Lila answered.

"I'll go and see father first, then I'll give both of you your gifts.

"Okay will be waiting"Lila said picking her book from the ground.

Lilac and Lila are the Radriel twin, they are twenty years old.

Lilac Nathalie Radriel,the first daughter of Mr Radriel, she's beautiful with, sexy feature, she's a model, she's crazy and full of life just like Leonardo.

While Lila Nathalia Radriel, the baby of the house, she's also beautiful with sexy shape but she's not the crazy type she's a book warm. She's struggling to get her degree in Law.

the both of them look so identical but they differ in some few things. Lila has blue eyes just like there dad's, while Lilac has a hint of blue with a hint of ash eyes, she took the ash colour from her mom.

"Father" Leo called ,on seeing his father sitted on a rocking chair.

Mr Radriel turned to the voice that called his name.

He knew Leo was home and he was expecting him to come to the garden sooner.

"Mr Billionaire Nathan"his father called standing from his chair.

Leo cracked at the name his father called him. Yeah there's no doubt his a billionaire.

"Son"Mr Radriel called pulling Leo into a hug.

"Father"Leo said wrapping his hand firmly around his father's back.

"How are you son"

"I'm so good father"Leo replied grinning from ear to ear

Leo know his father called him back for a reason, which he was so eager to know.

"But father, don't get why you had to call me back home"Leo asked.

"Oh Leo,I know your so "busy" this days and your eager to know why I called you so you can go back to your business, well I think you can wait for some few hours, we will talk over dinner"Mr Radriel said as he pat Leo on the back before walking out

"Oh God" Leo chuckled.

Mean while at the Daniels mansion, Maureen still sat on the floor ,with her mother's picture in her hand.

"Knock knock"Maureen heard a faint knock on her door.

"Come in she said".

The maid pushed the door opened with one hand, while she held a tray on her other hand, she walked in slowly and placed the food on the center table.

"Miss your food is ready "The maid said.

"You may leave"Maureen said , without looking at the maid.

The maid bowed her head before leaving the room closing the door behind her.

Maureen moved to were the food was on the table, she drank the water from the tray and eat little quantity of food.

~~~~~~~

Leo, sat on the right hand side of the dinning table, with Mr Radriel at the head, Lilac on the left and Lila sat on the right hand side beside Leo.

the table was filled with so many food, there was turkey ,lobster, beef stew.

"Leo as you know I called you here for a reason"Mr Radriel said breaking the silent in the dinning room.

Leo removed his eyes from his food paying full attention to his father.

"Leo it's high time you look for someone to get married, to someone who will love and care for you and I know just the right person. I've told her dad about it and he has agreed you guy will be getting engaged soon*

"Yeah that's true,we need a sister in-law"Lilac blurted out.

"I agree with you dad,Your right on track”Lila said smiling.

"what do you say Leo?"Mr Radriel asked.

I took few minutes for Leo to get out off the shock he was in.

Everything was happening so fast

"Dad you know I would do anything for you ,but I'm sorry I don't think I'm ready”

"Leo please, I'm not asking for much, all I want is for you to give me a grand child before I go stay with your mother"Mr Radriel said in a very low tone.

"Xommon dad you want to leave your angels , here Lilac said almost in fake tears.

"Leo please"Mr Radriel said trying so hard to convince leo.

Leo pushed the dinning chair backwards "I'm sorry Dad but I don't think I'm ready"he said walking out of the dinning.

"Leo please"Mr Radriel said.

"Dad I'll think about it"Leo said calmly. Not wanting to hear Mr Radriel reply he walked out of the dinning room.

Maureen walked to her white shelf and picked up a book she sat back on the ground with her knees to her face, she flipped,the book as she passed time with the book.

Maureen never knew how time was far spent but she was there until the middle of the night.

she closed the book and kept it beside her as she pondered on her so called life.

The words "Mr Daniels said to her kept playing like a broken record to her, that she could not concentrate on her book.

She smiled bitterly as she thought of how fate has been so cruel to her ever since her mom died, she'd seen hell from her so called father and now she's about to get into a life commitment that she doesn't know the outcome but with whatever happens, she will never show any form of weakness, she knows best than to be a weakline, she is a fighter and always will be.
