Romeo And Juliet – Episode 16

Chapter sixteen

 

Ryan pov

 

I went to open the door, thinking it was my unit members.

 

I was shocked when I saw who was outside.

 

He gave me a punch which pushed me back inside.

 

“Ryan!” Vivian called and ran to me.

 

He entered the house with some soldier at his back.

 

“Dad” Vivian called.

 

“What are u doing?” she asked.

 

 

“How did u know?” Vivian asked.

 

“I knew right from the start, the kiss, u guys meeting up, I thought if u got married soon then u will stop seeing him, but u convinced Vincent’s mother, dat was why I called you last night, and this morning I noticed u never came home” he said with anger in his every word.

 

“It is not her fault, it is all mine” I said.

 

“I will decide whose fault is?” he said.

 

“Let’s go home” he said to Vivian.

 

“Am not going anywhere, if I wish to come home, I will” she said holding my arms.

 

I removed her hands from my arms.

 

“You should go home, I will see u later” I said smiling.

 

“But?” she protest.

 

“Trust me” I said.

 

“Ok” she said.

 

“Let’s go” her dad said dragging his daughter out.

 

They left.

 

I guess what I wanted to avoid has finally happened.

 

Can I really be with her?

 

“I really want her”

 

 

Vivian pov

 

We got home and I was locked in my room.

 

A few minutes my dad came in.

 

“Why am I being locked up?” I asked.

 

He didn’t answer.

 

“This is not going to stop me from leaving Ryan, I love him” my dad said.

 

“Stop thinking about the impossible, u are getting marry soon” he said.

 

“Why is it impossible? Why do I have to marry ur friend’s son bcoz it is my mom’s dying wish? or bcoz u want it.”

 

“Are u guys even thinking about my own happiness?”

 

“U are just making decisions for me, u never for once listened to me or cared about my happiness, all u do is make choices for me, to people am a spoilt brat and most of them wish to be in my situation but as they envy me I also envied them.”

 

“I wish to make choices for myself, like other people does. Sometimes I hate my own mom bcoz of the stupid wish she made” I said.

 

“Vivian!” my dad called me visibly angry.

 

“But now I can clearly see she is not at fault.”

 

“Am sure she will never want to see me cry, dis is all bcoz of u”

 

“To others u are a this great and humble man a war hero but, I know dat u are a greedy and selfish man” I said and he slapped me, hard.

 

“U are going to get married to vincent.”

 

“And u are getting married in less than a week,” he said and left my room.

 

I can’t believe he slapped me.

 

I heard the lock of the room again. Seems like he’s hell bent on holding me, at least until the wedding

 

I will rather die than get married to Vincent.

 

 

Vincent pov

 

I overheard the conversation between Vivian and her dad.

 

I felt hurt dat she has no feelings for me.

 

I really love her but I don’t blame her.

 

This is all bcoz of Ryan, I will make sure he regrets it.

 

He will pay for this with his life.

 

 

Ryan pov

 

An hour after Vivian left, I heard a knock on my door.

 

I went and opened it, it was the last person I expected.

 

“What are u doing here?” I asked without letting her in.

 

“I heard Vivian’s dad came here, how do u feel?” she asked smiling.

 

“were u the one who told them about us?” I asked.

 

“No, I went for Vincent but seems like her dad knew beforehand” Lizzy said.

 

“Don’t be too happy, and stop smiling. U look ugly when u smile” I said while she frowned.

 

 

“I wonder the kind of man dat will like someone like u. Probably from another planet” I said and closed the door.

 

This is really hard on me.

 

I wonder how she is doing?

 

 

Vivian pov

 

 

I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. I will rather die than get married to a man I don’t love.

 

My nanny entered.

 

“Here, have some food, u haven’t ate a thing since yesterday” she said.

 

“Am not eating” I said.

 

“Vivian!” she called.

 

“Am not eating” I said.

 

“How do u think he will feel, when he sees u weak” she said.

 

“What do u mean? I asked.

 

“He is with ur dad in his study” she said.

 

“What?” I stood up from my bed and went out.

 

The soldiers tried stopping me but I threatened them and went to my dad’s study. Ryan pov

 

I received a call from the general in the evening telling me to come see him at his home.

 

 

I reached his house and was directed to his study.

 

“U are here” he said as I entered.

 

“Have ur seat” he offered and I did.

 

“Why did u ask to see me?” I asked.

 

“First, am sorry for the punch. I Havent punched anyone in a while” he said smiling.

 

“I called u here bcoz of Vivian, I have been watching u guys, and believe me I see how much u love her and u are willing to sacrifice everything for her” he said.

 

“I will like u to pls break up with my daughter, Vivian is very strong willed and very emotional but, also very fragile. It will be very hard for her to break up with u but I know how strong u are” he said.

 

“And also I know you are a good man, if u do I promise I will give u whatever you want” he said.

 

“Positions, money, just name it” he said while I chuckled.

 

“I want her, I don’t think I need any position am OK with what I have. The only thing I want is her” I said.

 

“Am sorry for being disrespectful” I said.

 

“U are really stubborn, there is no man on earth dat is not ambitious so tell me what u want” he said.

 

“Like I said earlier the only thing I want is her, she is the only thing I have ever wanted desperately.”

 

“I know I betrayed ur trust by dating ur daughter and for dat am sorry but I don’t regret doing it I want and love her” he said.

 

 

“Dat will be impossible, break up with my daughter or you’ll regret it” he threatened.

 

“I will take dat as an advice” I said and stand up to leave when I saw Vivian at the entrance.

 

She looked weak and feeble, seeing her like dis hurt me.

 

“What are u doing here?” her dad asked.

 

“Guards!” her dad called.

 

“Thank u for coming” she said smiling while I replied her with a smile.

 

“I will leave” I said and walked pass Vivian.

 

I held her hand for a moment of time as I walked pass her and left.

 

I left Mr Wilfred’s house, it was already dark out so I decided to trek some of the way home.

 

Am I doing the right thing, should I let her go.

 

I never thought loving someone will be dis hard.

 

But what is love if there are no challenges.

 

I was about to cross to the other side when I saw a car speeding up at me. Because of the lights I couldn’t see properly

 

All of sudden I was hit with a car.
