Nora was hearing wispers around her as she opened her eyes,she saw people gathered around her,as a doctor was begging them to give her space.She could see the face of pity on Daniels face as she was rushed to the hospital.Daniel didn't accompany them,only his sister who had grown to love Nora did.Meanwhile Daniel was shocked by this sudden news,as his father neither discussed with him nor did Maltida let him on the hook.He proceeded to confront his father.Chief Martin's was sipping a cup of wife while exchanging pleasantries when Daniel walked up to him furious.Chief Martin's expected his son to be Happy as he had never complained and seem to be okay with Maltida.He was shocked when Daniel told him that he is not prepared for marriage and he is not interested in Maltida either.Chief Martins was furious,his son must be joking.Does he intend spoiling his good name with the Clarkson's or the merger that will be the talk of the business community.Well he was still a small boy,(he thought)soon he will come to his senses.Chief Martins was earlier approached by Maltida who told him that Daniel and her had decided to get married that there was no point in wasting time.Chief Martin's had been made to believe that the suppose two young lovers could not wait to man and wife officially.He felt maybe Daniel was still shy about the episode.Nora meanwhile was still at the hospital about to be discharged with her mother, siblings, Ramsey and new found best friend Cindy close to her.But the person she needed to see Daniel never showed up.She felt she was stupid for even thinking that she a common girl could have anything to do with a rich kid like Daniel.She was in her room quiet all through as Ramsey was doing his best to make her laugh.She felt she was punishing the poor boy,he was everything every girl would wish for,but here she was dieing for someone she could never had.She smiled to Ramsey,kissed him and told him she wants to sleep.Ramsey was shocked at her action,his feeling for Nora had been love at first sight.But she had not be an easy participant.He had always felt if she was his,then she would come around,but no matter the case he would always be there for her.Nora woke up later by 10pm only to see a text on her phone that says"please come out".She wanted to ignore the message but something on her pushed her out as she longed to see him.Outside the house was Daniel no longer his handsome Happy face but a sullen and sad face.He led her to his car,where he finally revealed his feelings for her.Daniel told her the story of his life,how his father was always concerned about money and not them,his mother was he and Cindy's source of joy,but she was snatched away early and how he grew to hate life.His father was never around,he had no one to talk to except the maids and employees who were scared of him.His father dictated everything for him without giving him a choice.There were times he had contemplated suicide,just to see his mom.Most times he was not concious of where he was as his mind was always some where else.Since he met her,joy and calmness he had not felt since his mother's death returned.He told her,that he once saw his mom in his dream telling him to always protect his happiness, which is her.He also told her of how he dislikes Maltida but he only tolerated her cause he didn't want to disappoint his dad.Nora already crying,at this point she understood Daniel more and felt pity on him as he had been lonely all these while.She smiled as he kissed her,why she asked him"so money can't buy happiness?.She playfully told him he has to make it up by writing an apology letter and posting it at the office.Nora entered the house late to find her mom at the door,instead of scolding her,she was only smiling.
The battle is still Ahead
Will Maltida give up on Daniel to a commoner
Or will Chief Martin let his son to be with Nora
Watch Out In Part 10
