Troy Daniel’s
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing..
“Who could be calling me ?
I picked up the phone from the table beside me with sleepy eyes and received it without looking at the caller
“Who is this?”, I gr-unted
“Troy are you still slee-ping?”, June voice chimed in
“Oh June “. I called, how are you?. Why are you calling by this time?
“What do you mean?”, she asked , it is alre-ady morning
“Really?. I asked opening my eyes wi-der and the rays of the morning sun shone throu-gh the window brightening up the room
“Don’t tell me you are still slee-ping?”, she asked , you promised to attend lectures today
“Lectures? I don’t think that would be possible today”, I informed, i have lot of things to do
“No way Troy.you have been saying that for the past two weeks , it is either today or never”. She informed and ended the call….
“Did she Just end the call on me? Why is she taking this change of a thing so serious? Fine, I promised to change but I never meant it to be this way ..
.
I dragged myself out of the be-d and went over to the bathroom to freshen up and soon returned to the room when i was done..
I went over to the wardrobe for a change of clothing and headed downstairs …
.
“Good morning Daddy”. Tricia greeted with her tiny voice , she was sitting on her high chair eating in the dinning
“Morning baby”.i responded, who taught you to greet?
“Daddy mommy”. She replied and my mom who was seated beside her laughed
I smiled at her and sat down on a seat beside her
“What of Trent?”,I asked
“school”. My mom replied. Are you going somewhere?”. She asked
“School”; I replied
“Really?”. She asked in surprise, i have never seen you go to school
“That is because I ha-rd ly go”. I replied and she gave me a curious stare
“What is up for breakfast?”. I asked
“Bre-ad and scrambled egg”. She replied dishing it out to a plate
I ate my food silently and stood up from the table when I was done
“Daddy”. Tricia called , I want to go to school also
“You will ”.I as-sured her , very soon….::
.
.
I drove into the school building and parked in front of my dep@rtment
I alighted from the car and all eyes were on me.
I headed to the clas-s ignoring the stares and Murmurs from the students around..
.
The lecturer st©pped teaching immediately I walked into the clas-s
“Gooood mooooorning Troy”. he greeted stammering
“Treat me like other student”. I said and walked toward a seat ignoring the stares of the students in the clas-s…..
“Continue with your teaching “. I instructed the lecturer and he nodded before he continued
“What a boring clas-s”
I looked around the clas-s and scoffed when I met the gaze of the last person I ever wanted to see… Miguel..
.
.
Yakusa
.
.
I stared at the account book and threw it at Carl in anger
“Does it mean I am getting getting bankrupt”
“I am sorry Yakusa but”……
“Get out”. I barked
But……
“I said get out”. I yelled puffing out smoke and he scampered out of the room …..
“How did it get to this?
I was known as the riche-st drug lord but everything changed when Troy betrayed me..
I always knew him to be so smart but I never expected him to turn against me
he called it revenge but I call it backstabbing……..
It is time for me to act, I nee-d him out of the way……..
Troy Daniels
.
. I sighed in relief when the lecturer walked out of the clas-s.
I stood up and was about leaving the clas-s when I heard my name
I turned back and met the gaze of Miguel
“hey buddy. he greeted smiling, it has really been long
“Don’t act like we are cool”.I replied and walked out on him
“Crazy”. I muttered..
.
.
I headed to my car and was surprised to see June leaning on it.
I studied her ,she was looking kind of pale
“babe. I called moving closer , you look pale
“I am having a fever but i will be alright”. she as-sured me
“ Are you sure?”. I asked
“Yes”. she replied smiling, I saw your car parked here on my way back from clas-s and decided to wait for you. How was lectures?
“Boring. I replied and she smiled
“Here”. She said handing me a paper
“What is this?”. I asked looking into the paper
“What I nee-d you to do”. She replied grinning
“What!!!. I exclaimed, what do you mean by all this ? I asked re-ading it out
You must st©p smoking and drugs
You must st©p cursing
You must st©p drinking
And you must quit the Mafia. This is too much June
“No it isn’t, you asked me to teach you to change so this is it
“You must be kidding?”. I asked laughing, are you trying to turn me to a zombie ?
“No I am just trying to change you for the better”. She replied
“Oh yeah”. I drawled, will you be following me home?. I asked
“No. She replied
“Why?”. I asked
“Mum asked me to come over”. She replied
“Alright. I replied , call me when you get home
“I will. She promised
I k!$$£d her before getting into my car and zoomed ….
I glanced at the lists and scoffed
“She really wants to turn me to a zombie”….
June Kansas
I watched Troy drove off and smiled, I was very happy he was trying to change
It took me two weeks to convince him to attend lectures and he did…
.
I walked to my room happily and was surprised to see Mary alre-ady waiting for me
“Didn’t you attend lectures?”. I asked her
“I did but the lecturer rounded up the clas-s earlier. How was lectures?
“Fine, the lec……..I st©pped when I felt the urge to puke and ran into the bathroom…..
I returned to the room feeling weak and met Mary curious gaze
“What is wrong with you?”. She asked
“I don’t know”. I replied with a shrug, can we go now?
“Sure “. She said still looking at me weirdly…
.
.
We paid the driver and alighted when we got to the front of our home …
.
We walked into the sitting room and met my mum seated on the sofa
“Mary June “. She called standing up to hvg us
“Mother”. We called hvgging her back, we really miss you
“how is dad?”. I asked
“he is not back from work? . She replied studying me , What is wrong with you? She asked, you look pale
“I feel feverish”. I replied
“I am sorry baby. she said checking my temperature, you nee-d to go see the doctor…
.
.
.
We walked into the Doctor office when we got to the hospital
“Good morning Sam”. My mom greeted the doctor as we walked in
“Ophelia”. how are you doing?”. he asked my mom and flashed me a smile,how are you June?
“I am fine sir”. I replied shyly
“Did you come for a general checkup?”.he asked as we took our seat
“No. my mom replied,June is sick
“What exactly is wrong with you?”. The doctor asked me
“I feel weak most of the time”. I replied
“Is that all?”. he asked
“Yes. I lied
“I will nee-d to carry out a test to find out exactly what is wrong with you”. he informed….
.
“Oooouch!. I exclaimed as he drew out blood from me
“Sorry baby”. My mom said patting me
The doctor soon left with the blood sample…..
“ you will be alright”. My mom as-sured me and I gave her a small smile….
.
.
We waited for about 20 mins before the doctor walked in , he was looking gloomy
“I nee-d to see you pri-vately Ophelia”. he informed
“Is anything wrong?”My mum asked in alarm
“No. he replied, I just don’t know how to break the news
“What news?”. My mother asked, plea-se tell me
he looked and me and sighed
“About June pregnancy”. he replied…..
“What!!”. I exclaimed in shock, it can’t be, I am not pregnant
“plea-se be gentle with her”.The Doctor advised and left the room
“Who is responsible?”. My mom asked as soon as we were alone
“I am not pregnant mom”. I replied and she gave me a thun-derous sl@p
Mom”. I called sobbing
“Who are you slee-ping with June?”. She yelled
“No one”.i lied
“Don’t lie to me June, is it Troy ?”
I stared at her without answering
Why have you chose to disgrace me and your father?”. She asked sobbing, Why?. I trusted you June that was why I supported your relationsh!pwith Troy but you forgot about the principle I taught you and opened your legs wi-de for him
“Mum”. I called softly
“Can’t you wait till he marries you?”. She asked
“I am sorry mom”
“ She looked at me with disgust and stood up. Get re-ady for your wedding, you are getting married to Troy………..

I bowed my head in shame as my parent hurled hurtful words at m
“How will I face the church?”.my Father asked in anger , I do preach about staying pure till marriage but my own daughter went against my teaching and even got pregnant. June why did you choose to embarras-s me?
“I am sorry dad”. I apologised sniffing
“Will sorry re-move the child in your wo-mb? Will sorry resto-re your vir-ginity?”. he yelled
“Calm down honey”. My mom advised , yelling won’t bring a solution..
“What solution?”my dad asked glaring at her, the only solution I am know is to ab-ort the bastard in her wom

“Do you think it is a good idea?”. he asked after clearing his throat
“It is the only way we can escape mockery”. My mom replied
I looked at both of them and sighed. They were after their reputations to the very end , they never really cared about my feelings…
I looked at my flat stomach and t©uçhed it
“Is there really a baby in here
“June. My dad called , go upstairs and freshen u

“I don’t know how Troy will react about the wedding
“What wedding?”. She asked in surprise…. wait a minute! you mean our parent want you both to get married

The drive to Troy ‘s house was a very quiet on
I sat down at the back seat with Mary beside m
I was worried about how everything will turn ou
“Will Troy agree to the wedding? How will he react when he sees my parent
I could have called to inform him but I totally lost it……
I felt Mary squee-zed my hands and I gave her a grateful smile..
We st©pped in front of his mansion and my mom g@sped in shock when she saw two armed guards standing in front …
“Why do Troy have armed men guarding his gate?”. She asked
“for protec-tion “. My dad replied,
We alighted from the car and I led the way to the hvge gat
“Good evening”. I greeted the guard

I stared at my parent to see their reaction, they looked dazed……I wondered what was going on throu-gh their min
“June. the boys called as we walked in and I smiled at them ..
I watched my mum and Troy mother hvg each other ti-ghtly
I almost forgot they were best friends
I looked around the sitting room and smiled when I saw Tricia standing beside the stairs staring curiously at the women

“Fine. My dad gr-unted frowning, where is Troy

“June is carrying a child and your son is responsible”. My father yelle
“plea-se Calm down”. Troy mother pleaded that ….
“How do you expect me to be calm when my daughter is pregnant”. My father yelled

“Daddy”. Tricia called waiting patiently for Troy to get to he
“What is it?”. Troy asked ruffling her hai

I watched her cry and my heart couldn’t take it
“Can’t we get married after she is done with school?”. I asked
“No way”. her father replied, Is it e……
“I will do it”.I replied cutting him off and I heard my mom sighed in relief , I will marry her because I love her and not because of the threat but I have a condition
“What condition?”.her dad asked
“ I want it to be a secret between both families”. I replied, no reporters, no friends only families

I never really wanted the wedding because I knew it might not be safe but seeing June in tears made me change my mind..
