Enticed - Season 1 - Episode 32

We stood up and left. I looked at henry… he was pale. I took a deep breath, I don’t know if he realized what he has done…. I have a lot on my hands. My father’s business is on my shoulders… he stated in his will that I if he dies without anyone to sit on his chair then I will have to choose the best candidate for the post. I have been on his chair while dealing with my work as a lawyer. My father is into the transport business.

He owns a whole lot of trucks that transports goods around Africa and a total of 10 ships that transports goods from overseas to Africa and only airplane that transports good to Cape Town. When he died he was still planning on buying the second airplane.
I found a lot of things that I didn’t know about my dad and I doubt my mom knew a thing about it. He had some police under his pay roll as well as some government workers. I knew that my was a millionaire but I didn’t think had the amount of money he had in his account I was so shocked when his accountant explained everything to me.

Henry: Trisha?

Me: (silence)

Henry: will you ever forgive me?

Me: for what exactly… you have me in a tight trap.

You tricked me into loving you

Henry: for everything.

Me: I don’t know

Henry: what if I make you forgive me.

Me: I would love to see you try
He smiled and for the first time since my father’s death I actually feel light. His smile just assured me that he will make everything right.

Henry: mom misses you

Me: oh… your mom…

Mrs. Tyson had been very helpful during the time of my father’s death. She was the one who held me when I felt like I was being suffocated by everything. She was my mom’s friend at that time.

Me: I also miss her rude self

Henry: don’t you want to see her.

Me: I have a meeting at work… not at the law firm.

Henry: you are always busy nowadays.

Me: do you blame me?

Henry: let me guess it’s my fault.

Me: well I wouldn’t be busy if my dad was alive.

Henry: you know we have to get through that

Me: you are pissing me off right now.

Henry: I am sorry babe
I sighed… he is apologizing nowadays. Maybe I am giving him a hard time. He turned on the radio and put on a song from his memory card. Mercy by Shawn Mendes. I just kept quiet and listened to the lyrics. I noted some lines and thought about him.

Me: why this song?

Henry: I think Shawn says it better than I can say it.

Me: you think I am torturing you?

Henry: I don’t think so…

Me: then what?

Henry: your actions are torturing me… I need you to take it a little easy on me. I was just trying to play my cards right so that I can get the girl I want and well it turned out to be the stupidest thing ever… now I have you but I don’t know if you will ever be by my side because I ruined your life.

I kept silent. His words hit me hard. A lump formed on my throat and cold chills ran through my body.

Henry: now you are always sad… when you are not sad you are angry at me… and I can’t blame you. It’s torturing me knowing that all this is because of me, only if only you could open me up and see how I feel about everything that you are going through… if you could see the cloud that hovers over my heart…

A tear rolled down my cheek. He paused and looked forward. We kept quite all the way until I decided to break the silence with words that I didn’t even plan on speaking out loud.

Me: what do you want me to do?

Henry: (looks at me) I don’t know if you would be able to do this but I want you to open up to me and let, me in. I want to make everything right. Will you be able to do that?
If only he knows how hard it is. I closed my eyes and looked out the window. The silence continued until he stopped at my house. I opened the door and he held my hand. I looked at him and he gave me a kiss. I didn’t resist as I always do. He gave me a tentative smile and I got off the car.

I went inside to pick up some files and kissed mom on the cheek.
