Chapter 73
They were finally alone outside staring at each other, Dan wasn''t sure how to begin, he could see
the look of hurt on her face. He had hurt her really bad as the tears stained her face, " Iam waiting
Dan, tell me the truth" she said with her voice cracking with each word spoken.
"It is true I was expected to marry Ariana, but it was not my decision, it was nned by our families"
He tried moving closer to her but Faye held out her hand " don''t youe close to me, why would they
force you into marrying someone you don''t love?"
He exhaled " both of our families are very greedy people and no amount of money is enough for them,
they want to be the wealthiest family on earth if eventually I marry Ariana"
She shook her head " Can''t they be Wealthy without an arranged marriage?"
"They could but Ariana father won''t agree unless I marry his daughter" Dan paced front and back,
soon he would have to tell her the rest.
"Why you Dan? Why not japhet?"
"It is me she wants although she and japhet have slept together on many asions, i didn''t really mind
because I never liked her and she considered me a challenge"
Faye felt her stomach churning, it all sounded so ridiculous to her " so you married me to get out of
marrying her?"
His eyes pleaded for her to understand " Yes at first but I fell in love with you and wanted us to be
together, I love you Faye and you know that" he paused for few seconds looking at her, " all these
happened when you left for NYC for over three years and I did not see you despite searching for your
whereabouts"
She wiped the tears from her face and a thought crossed her mind, she looked up to his face already
starting at her " you tricked me into marrying you, tell me Dan buying the hotel where I worked was it
already a n you had? Seeing that I love the job you decided to sell it off putting me once again at
your mercy then proposing a deal I can''t refuse just to trick me into marrying you"
"Faye please"
"Tell me Dan, tell me everything or I will walk out of here and you will never see me again"
"That is the truth"
She gasped, Faye held her stomach feeling sick. The man she had loved all her life deliberately used
her, tricked her.
"How could you be so cruel!" She cried, her heart breaking.

"Faye iam sorry, I know it was wrong but we love each other. Isn''t that all that mattees now?
She turned and red at him " you say that you love me, how can I ever trust you to be telling me the
truth?"
"Damnit Faye, you know that I love you" Dan was bing angry wondering why women always
have toplicate everything.
"Iam going back to the hotel alone" she said angrily heading towards the car.
"Not without me" he replied following her.
She stopped and turned " I don''t want you anywhere near me, I need time to think" she said angrily.
"I will take you home and you can have the bedroom, I will sleep on the sofa" he said and as he tried to
take her arm she pulled away.
Japhet who had been watching them argue walked back into the ballroom to confort his parents.
"So, what is happening?" Vi asked
"Faye is really angry with Dan, it doesn''t look good for him"
"Where are they now?" She asked with a wicked smile on her face.
"They headed back to the hotel, mother isn''t high time we tell him the whole truth as to why he must
Ariana?" Japhet suggested feeling tired of the whole things as it was getting out of hand.
"No!, He is no longer one of us and he won''t give her up on his own we have to help him do that, so go
back to the hotel and see what''s happening and make sure you''re not seen" Vi snapped.
Faye kept quiet throughout the ride back to the hotel, sitting far from dan as possible she fought
back the tears that threatened to spill like an open facuet, the pain in her heart was unbearable.
He held the door for her when they entered the hotel room, taking her hand in his she pulled away " I
don''t want you to touch me, iam going to bed"
When she was about walking away he grabbed her hands and turned her to face him " we have to talk
Faye, I love you. Please give me a chance to fix things between us, please"
Removing her hands from his she shook her head as a year rolled outdown her face " I need space
from you Dan don''t you think? Keep your promise to sleep on the sofa" she walked away leaving
him heartbroken.
Hell! He thought no wonder he never wanted to be in love, it hurts too much. Pouring himself a shot of
whiskey he sat down and glup it at a go. A few minutester he heard the bedroom door opened, his
heart speed up, she wasing to him.
But his heart dropped when she came out and handed him a nket and pillow, " here you will need
these" then she walked back to the bedroom. Fayeid on the bed tosing and turning, she missed not
having him beside her as the bed felt empty and cold without him.
No matter what he has done she loved him and was she willing to end her marriage for one stupid
mistake? He said he was sorry and he knew what he did was wrong. Faye knew he loved her so much
and see could see it in his eyes whenever he looks at her,the way he smiles at her.
Dan stood at the balcony in his brief Starring out in the night sky, he hadn''t heard Faye approaching
until she called his name.
"Dan" she called standing there just starring at him, he stood straight Starring back at her.
"Dan is there something else that I should know? Are there anymore lies?"
"No baby, I swear to you" he looked at her, a glimmer of hope filled his heart.
Faye ran towards him as she wrapped her arms around him, the tears kept falling as she held onto
Dan with all her strength.
"Dan I love you, please don''t ever hurt me again" she cried.
Raising her head to look at him " I promise you baby, never again" he smiled and kissed her hard and
they both headed to the bedroom.
But just then someone knocked on the door, Dan growled setting Faye down " I will get rid of
whoever is at the door"
