Get Me Married

Get Me Married By Tori Chapter 5

Chapter 5: selling out

through college must have been hard, if not impossible. Your daughter must have gone through so much, do you still want her to be striving and fighting for a better life when one has been presented to her already” she said, a mother to a mother. And yes I didn’t want her fighting for everything she had to have, I wanted her to be happy and fulfilled. Any mother in my situation would want what was better for her child. “We are rich, filthy rich Mrs Connor. She will be getting married to the richest family in the state, she will have everything, money, fame, happiness and a handsome husband by her side, every girl’s dream. And you my dear would no longer be poor, Genesis your daughter is a gem and with her around, with her as my daughter in-law you will rewarded beyond your imagination” she added. I stopped crying and stole a glance at Connor who seemed to understand where my feelings were going to. “Abigail no…” he whispered to me. “Oh Connor. This is a place any girl would want to be, every body would jump at this opportunity” she said to my husband. “I am not selling her out” he said angrily. “Don’t see it that way. Genesis deserves better, Ava deserves a better life and you know it. With Genesis as my son’s wife, your lives will change for the better, Ava will have a better life and future, you both would no longer be poor and Genesis will be the envy of every other girl” she said and my husband’s shoulder slumped in defeat. He knew that part of what she said was true, no one in the city would pass up such an opportunity, he knew it was a life changing opportunity for us, for Ava and for Genesis as well. “Tick tock, I don’t have much time on my hands. This marriage needs to take place in less than two weeks, so think fast. It ain’t like you have got an option, this is the only way you can pay me back” she said wickedly and I sighed in defeat. “Genesis will never agree to this you know” Connor said in defeat and a smile spread around her face in victory. “She wouldn’t I guess” I mumbled. My daughter was hot headed, she was a girl that preferred to make her own part, she was strong and even with a background like hers, she fought to be different and to change our lives. Which she was supposed to do after graduation, I could already feel the fire she was going to get loose on us if she found out we sold her out. “But it’s for her good” I said to Connor, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t a bad mother who was about to make a grave mistake. “I guess so, who wouldn’t want to be a chase?” he asked me. “I guess that’s a yes then” she clapped her hands with excitement. “Yes ma’am” we accepted her offer. “It’s Leona, call me Leona” she said. At the hospital room, my heart was still filled with anxiety. “Did we make the right choice? Was I a bad mother? How could I sell my daughter out? Will she hate me? What will be her reaction?” thoughts like this and more kept running back to me. GENESIS “Can I leave now, I am so tired of being here” I nagged for the one hundred and one time. Tiana rolled her eyes at me. “Well yes…the doctor said you can leave” Nate replied and I immediately jumped up from the bed. I hated hospitals, they knew I hated hospitals and drugs and injection. I was surprised I didn’t die from being locked up in there for days. “Finally, this place reeks” I said and went to the bathroom to get changed “This is how a hospital is supposed to smell” Tiffany replied me. “Well I hate it” I came out of the bathroom with a change of shirt and a nose mask around my nose. It was supposed to help ward off the unpleasant hospital smell. The guys looked at me and rolled their eyes before packing up. They had all been by my side when I was sick, bringing in food and more food and clothes
