Allison sighed a sign of relief when he was done with narrating her story to Louis. And that's how I got married to the person I never liked, Allison said. Ever since the demise of my grandfather, I have been looking forward to divorce the man. However , i have no idea on how or where to start the process, my mother promised me that she will look into it so I have been waiting for her to one day hit me with the news that she has information of how to go through a divorce, hoping that day that i have been waiting for will soon come and set me free from that good for nothing husband of mine.
With that, Louis was so shocked but on the other hand, he was happy to hear that the beautiful lady that he has eyed on want to get a divorce. I can help with that, he said, but with one condition. And what is your condition Mr. man? she asked. If only you will agree to become mine I will help you with the divorce process. You really are joking aren't you? Allison asked, what makes you think that am joking? you barely know me and you are asking me to be
Allison let out a sigh of relief as she concluded the narration of her story to Louis. "And that's how I ended up marrying someone I never liked," she explained. "Since the passing of my grandfather, I have been eagerly anticipating a divorce from my husband. However, I lack the knowledge of how or where to initiate the process. My mother has promised to assist me with this matter, and I have patiently waited for her to provide me with the information necessary to proceed with the divorce, hoping the day will soon arrive when I can free myself from my unsatisfactory marriage."
Upon hearing this, Louis was taken aback, but simultaneously, he felt a sense of joy at the prospect of the captivating woman he admired seeking a divorce. "I can assist you with that," he offered, "but I have one condition."
"And what is your condition, Mr. Louis?" she inquired.
"If you agree to become mine, I will help you navigate the divorce process."
"Surely you must be joking," Allison responded. "What leads you to believe I would consider such a suggestion when we barely know each other?"
"I don't mind—on the contrary, I feel as if I have known you forever. So, what do you say? Do we have a deal?"
Allison paused for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Alright, Mr. Louis. If you help me with this, I promise not only to consider being yours, but I will also marry you. However, you must show me that you care for me and love me just as my current husband does, even though I have no feelings for him. Regardless of my sentiments, I acknowledge that he loves me. So, do we have a deal?"
"Are you referring to love?" he replied earnestly. "I will love you for as long as I live; in fact, I love you more than your unworthy husband ever has."
"Do you believe we have an understanding?" I find it intriguing how little I know about you, yet I feel a familiar connection, as though we've known each other for quite some time. What are your thoughts? Shall we proceed with an agreement?
Allison remained silent for a moment, then nodded in affirmation. "Alright, Mr. Man, if you assist me with this, I assure you that not only will I be yours, but I will also commit to marrying you. However, in the interim, you must demonstrate that you care for and love me, just as that man, who is of little worth, loves me. I may not reciprocate those feelings, but I cannot deny his affection. So, do we have a deal? Are we truly discussing love? I will love you until my last breath; in fact, my feelings for you surpass those of your unworthy husband.
Now, would you kindly come over and embrace me? Louis was eager to hold Allison. "Is that all you seek?" he inquired. "Yes, I wish to hug the woman I met today and with whom I have fallen in love." With that, he rose from his seat, approached Allison, and embraced her. After a moment, he released her, settled their bill, and they exited the hotel together. As they had each driven separately, they exchanged farewells, got into their respective cars, and departed.
During her drive home, Allison felt a wave of happiness, recognizing that she had found a wealthy man who she would soon learn to love. Despite his declarations of affection, she understood that love transcends mere relationships; it is a profound state of being. Perhaps, in time, her feelings for Louis would blossom. She took out her phone and dialed her friend Susan. Once the call connected, she recounted her experience, and Susan expressed her joy for her. "When do I get to meet this Mr. Man of yours, Allison?" Susan asked. "You'll meet him soon, Susie," Allison replied, and they both wished each other well before ending the call.
Upon returning home, she felt overwhelmed with excitement and was unable to contain her emotions. In her eagerness, she shared her joyous news with her mother, Yvonne. "I am truly happy for you, my daughter," Yvonne responded, a smile on her face. "Make sure to keep that man happy; he may assist you in obtaining a divorce and potentially marrying you, which would bring me great joy as well. When can I expect to meet him?"
"Soon, mother, soon," she replied with optimism.
Meanwhile, during his drive home, Louis found himself feeling genuinely content. Although known for his charm with women, he had encountered someone extraordinary. He promptly called his lawyer friend, who, upon hearing his situation, promised to assist him once he returned from his vacation. "I'll be waiting, my friend. Remember, I also wish to sign a marriage certificate as soon as she finalizes her divorce," Louis said. His lawyer assured him, "Don't worry; I will help you achieve what you desire, but expect to compensate me handsomely for my services."
Later that evening, he called Allison, and they engaged in a pleasant conversation that lasted over an hour, exchanging affectionate emojis before retiring for the night. It was indeed one of the happiest days of his life.
The following day, during lunchtime, he decided to surprise Allison by purchasing a packed lunch for two and visiting her at Westminster Hospital. Upon his arrival, her face lit up with joy as she saw him. Without exchanging any words, she embraced him gratefully for the thoughtful lunch. They spent time in her office, enjoying their meal together like a pair of enamored companions. When the time came for her to return to the clinic, he hugged her and, feeling a rush of emotion, leaned in to kiss her. To his delight, she reciprocated, showcasing an unexpected mutual affection.
As they left together for her clinic, Louis informed her that he had already arranged for his friend to assist her with the divorce process. Allison's face beamed with happiness upon hearing the news. She leaned in closer and whispered softly in his ear, "Soon, I will be free, and soon I will become Mrs. Louis." Her words filled him with elation, leaving him in disbelief; had she truly agreed to marry him? He thought to himself, anticipating the day when that would come to fruition.
"I look forward to that day," he replied, a smile gracing his features. However, once they arrived at the clinic, he found it difficult to part ways. He wished to stay by her side but recognized her obligations to the patients waiting for her care. With no other option, he embraced her warmly and bid her farewell.
Upon his return home, he found his father waiting for him, as he had left without a word earlier in the day. After administering his father's medications, he shared the exciting news. His father, pleased for him, had always encouraged him to marry and start a family. However, Louis had yet to fully decide on the woman he wished to share his life with.
