JEMIAH POV

"Dad what were they talking about? what does he mean he wants me to marry his grandson? dad what is the favor Mr Pedro was talking about? dad what did you do? " I kept mumbling.

After Mr Pedro has stated his proposal, he and his family had left giving my dad 2 days to make up his mind. the moment they left I started demanding answers from my dad.

"Jemiah...... ..dad called pleading.

"dad I want you to open up to me, what did you do? "I ask finally sitting with him on my bed after pacing my room"after they left my dad had brought me to my room to talk to me.

"20 years ago, when we wanted to start our bakery your mom and I decided to take out a loan.but unlucky for us we weren't able to fulfill our end of the building so the loan sharks threatened to take our apartments, our bakery and you. you were just 5 then. if we had known they were hard criminal we wouldn't have taken their money " dad said crying.

*I felt shaken by this revelation *

" but the day they were to take you and all our properties, Mr Pedro happened to have a business in our town, he saw us pleading and crying. our townsmen were gathered, pleading with the loan sharks but they ignored everyone. just when they had taken you from us, Mr Pedro walked up to them and offered to pay off our debts. I still vividly remember the shocked looks on everyone faces "dad said smiling.

"we were so dumbfounded we stood staring at him for what felt like miles, he payed off our debts, Mr Pedro cleared off our 2 million dollars debt, we thanked him and invited him over, he obliged but when we were all seated he told us he's going to come back for the favor. he wanted something in return but when we promised to raise the money and pay him back. he refused saying he wants something much more valuable than money. we asked what he meant but he refused to tell us. he only promised to tell us 20 years time. "

"I never knew you were what he wanted. if I remember clearly he had smiled fondly at you back then. and you really liked him surprisingly considering you didn't like Strangers." dad said holding my hands.

" it's OK if you don't want this honey, we can try to figure this out, I will try to palate him or anything "he said smiling but I could see the unease, fear, worry in his eyes.

*I can't let my dad do this alone, if it hadn't been for the help of Mr Pedro. I wouldn't be with my parents right now, I probably would be dead or sold as a s****l tool . I love my dad and if this is the only way I can repay Mr Pedro for his good deed then so be it. I can't help my situation right now "AM IN DEEP *

"dad let's do it " I said hugging him tight as he sobbed into my shirt.
