EPISODE 1
āThis canāt be happening!ā cried Purity. She stared into space with disbelief and shock written all over her face.
āNo, no,ā she mumbled, looking around her office.
This man had carried out his threat. Who could have thought he would actually do it? Aaron Theodore was full of surprises and behaved like the Devil himself. She was a grown woman, old enough to make her decisions and do whatever she pleases. Now, this man ā her papa, had chosen a husband for her. How could he?
Aaron Theodore had indeed surprised her. This man promised not to meddle in her private life anymore. Right from when she was a child to being an adult, she had never lived a life of her own- all she had done was to please her papa, doing things the way he wanted. Now, she grew up. Sheās no more the baby of the home, she can make her decisions and do whatever please her. Damn this man! She wasnāt living for him. And he couldnāt dictate whom sheād marry, sheād show him.
The door opened, a young woman of about twenty-six popped her head in, then walked in. She was dressed in a grey suit. The skirt was mini- above her kneels which revealed straight beautiful legs, they were longer than their actual length ācause she wore a four inches stilleto. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. Her lips shone, painted with a colourless lip gloss. Her lashes were tick. She smiled brightly and looked Purity in the eye. Her eyes were stunning.
āHeather!ā Purity snapped as she caught sight of her secretary. āYou canāt knock or you forgot your manners?ā she was now sounding like a bitch.
āIā¦I did ā¦knock.ā Heather stammered. āThereā¦wasā¦noā¦no response.ā
āAre you saying Iām deaf?ā Purity glared at her.
āNo! I came to give you the files youāve been asking for.ā she was embarrassed.
āIām in no mood for such! Get that file and your walking stick body out of my office!ā Purity ordered.
In a flash, Heather was out of her office. She ran out with tears welled up in her eyes.
Purity, what the hell is wrong with you! You just made your secretary cry. Youāre a witch. A voice in her head scolded her.
She didnāt care. Her father got her into this. Sheād beat him to his game.
She stared at her cherry desk, her fingers wandered on it. She took a pen from the pen holder and scribbled something on a notepad. Grabbing hold of the telephone on her desk, she called her secretary.
āHeather,ā she called out when the call was answered. āIām sorry. Please cancel all my appointments today. Iāve got something to do.ā she hung up.
Purity felt guilty talking to Heather that way. She must have knocked but Purity failed to hear it ācause she was too busy with her thoughts. It wasnāt the poor girlās fault. It was hers.
Purity groaned, carried her purse and left the office room. She did not look at anyoneās face, she just walked out of Theodoreās enterprises- the third richest business company in the world. She was the CEO, no one would dare question her.
Her usual smile wasnāt there, a frown replaced it. She didnāt bother about it, didnāt care. All that was on her mind now was to face Aaron Theodore and let him know she was no more a child, but a full grown woman who decides what to do with her life. No one was going to mess with her life. No on, not even her parents.
She slid into the driverās seat of her silver volvo XC60 wheels, flung her purse in the front passengerās seat. She put the key in the ignition hole and started car. Slowly, she joined the highway.

āYou must be joking father,ā Jeremy laughed and shook his head.
His father- Edwin Broderick gave him a grave look. āIām being serious here. Purity Theodore is to be your wife. You will see her tomorrow, court her and marry her.ā
āFather! Why should I marry her?ā Jeremy threw at his father, sarcastically.
āSheās my choice. Besides, her father and me are close pals. They once lived in our neighbourhood, remember?ā he raised a brow.
Jeremy scratched his head, trying to remember. Then it came! The little girl who lived in his neighborhood when he was a kid. Heād liked her a certain time and tried to be nice to her, be friends with her but she was very rude to him. She felt she was a princess, she was the last and only daughter of the Theodoreās. Dam! He was rich too and more powerful then she. He began despising her since then, she must be a beautiful woman now. He had forgotten all about her, till this moment.
āPurity? No father, I canāt marry her. Dammit! I canāt even have her as my friend or dare, youād now expect me to have her as my wife? Holy shit! NO!ā
Edwin Broderick laughed at his sonās outburst. āI know she used to tease you back then. I assure you, she has changed. Youād get to like her.ā
āFather, I canāt.ā Jeremy pleaded.
āIts final. You two should be married for a year, then you can divorce if you want to. My word is final. Think about it, son.ā
Edwin patted his sonās shoulder and left him all by himself.
