Married to Mr Right - Season 1 - Episode 6

.
I was awakened by the sunlight that penetrated through the building and hit my face. I yawn and stretched myself before opening up my eyes.

Mom and Ben were already up.
“Morning Mom” I greeted but she didn’t reply

“Hey Ciara” Ben called me and I gave a faint smile.

“Have you spoken to the doctor” I ask
“yes. Dad would be moved out if we don’t make a move soon” he tells me
“I’ll… I’ll try to think of something” I say and quickly rushed out of the hospital to the house.

I had my bath and wore my clothes before heading to work. I need to talk to Darren. he’s the only friend I have and maybe he would be able to help.
I arrived and threw the door open. I was told he was in a meeting so I had to wait.
finally, he was out. I quickly rushed to meet him.

“Darren” I call breaking down all of a sudden “I need your help”
“Ciara are you okay” he said holding my arm. “have a seat” he walked to a chair and we sat down.

“what’s wrong? why are you crying? is everything okay?”
“I… well… dad is in the hospital. he got into an accident” I said and I notice his jaw drop
“how is he now? is he alright?” he asks me but I shook my head

“he’s not. The doctor said he sustained some internal injuries and has to be operated. but the thing is, I don’t have enough money for that so I was hoping if you could help me” I said and turned to look at him.
he kept silent like someone who was lost in his thoughts or something. he was really my last hope.

“I would really love to help you Ciara. believe me I would but I don’t have that kind of money at my disposal” he said and I felt like my whole world just came to an end.
“What will I do now?” I sniffed “I can’t loose my father right now. he’s all I’ve got. there has to be a way”

“Actually there is” he tells me and I sat up wiping my tears
“really what?”
“Have you heard of Brian’s home for charity. they offer help to most commoners so if you can talk to them or their son I’m sure they could be of assistance” he tells me.
A ray of hope. somehow it’s worth a try and I can’t give that up. I have to see him.

“Where is it?”
“I’ll text you the address”
“thank you Darren. I was positive you would help me” I hugged him and he returned it.
I quickly pulled away and walked out to the place he said.
he texted me the address and I took a cab there.

I arrived and stepped down.
OMG this place is massive, people actually live here?” I said to myself and walked in.
I first I felt a little intimidated about my outfit but I never cared less. my dad’s health is all I could think of right now.
“Hello” I said to a man standing behind a counter and he gave me a look then stared at me.
“how can I help you?” he asked
“I was told to come here. I’m looking for Brian Salter”

“Boss asked you to come here? are you one of his side chicks or girlfriends? he asked in a disgusted manner

I shook my head ” no I’m not anyone’s girlfriend. I was told to come here cause someone said that he would help me ” I said feeling irritated. who does he think he is to ask me that.

“he’s not in at the moment. he’s a busy guy so you’ll have to wait” he told me and gestured me to sit which I did.

I felt pretty embarrassed cause everyone was staring at me. at least I managed a good shower. for a moment there, I thought I would die cause they couldn’t stop looking.
I sat down for some minutes probably forty five minutes before I was told that he was back. he quickly took his phone and passed a message across and I’m sure he agreed cause I was told to see him.
Someone escorted me to his office and I stood outside. should I knock or just go in. he already knows I’m coming but what if he gets angry. I really need the money and I don’t want to do anything to upset him.
I finally decided to knock.
“come in” he said in response to my knocking.

“I gently pushed the door knob and walked inside. he sat down backing me so I didn’t see his face.

is he some kind of demon that doesn’t like people seeing his face or what?
” Hello I’m Ciara ” I said
“how can I help you?” he said still backing me

“I was told to come here. I need your help” I say. my voice shaking.
“oh really. how can I be of help Ciara?” he said and just then turned around to face me.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw his face.
“So we meet again?” he said placing his hand on his chin.
“you’re Brian?” I ask
Holy crap, what have I gotten myself into now?….
