“Am in a mess” Daniel told his friend, Jeffrey. They had hanged out in club that evening as they sat down drinking together
“What kind of mess, did you impregnate a girl” he asked
“Be serious, my dad has been pestering my life about this wife of a thing, and now that destiny is calling, it became worst”
“Worst?, how”
“It been three weeks since the doctor told me about his health condition, guy, I can’t breath again in that house, just last week, my secretary came to deliver a document since I didn’t go to the office, did you know what my father asked her?”
“Tell me”
“He asked if we were dating and that’s why she came to deliver documents at home”
“Well, your dad might be right, you are not growing any younger, he’s just concerned about you, you are his only son, no good father will be quite like that”
“So what are you saying”
“Give him what he wants” Jeffrey said
“Whatever, girls are only after money, and nothing more, I don’t think I can even love” he said sipping his drink
“Anyway, you own your life, it left to you”
“I’ll be going home now, my dad and big mommy will be worried” he stood up and shake hands with him “see you tomorrow”
“Ok bro, bye” he said as he left

“Em..I…I, yes I hurt my leg” she said.
“Obviously, you do” Daniel smirked and turn to leave but stopped, he thought for a while and face her, maybe she might be of help
“You must need money so bad”
