LET'S GET MARRIED

Chapter One - Family Dynamics

Ever wondered what it feels like to be pressured for something you'll spend the rest of your life regretting if it turns out to be a mistake?
Yeep! That's my current situation.

I'm Britney Couper, aka "the lonely sassy bitch" among my colleagues and employees.

Just turned thirty recently, rumors say I'm a selfish cold hearted bitch, caring only about money and myself. Although I see that as a compliment.

Five years have elapsed since my tumultuous breakup with Dustin. Since then, I've been more focused on my career, earning me the title "business tycoon."

Most of the people in my circle are married or probably in serious relationships, meanwhile my love life has been sitting down on a couch for quite long not giving a sign of leaving the single's association anytime soon.

Anyways, society and my family assumed that my lack of interest in men might result in me being single for the rest of my life.

Sounds drastic right?!

Ok, who said I wasn't interested in getting married...

My singleness is not a reflection of my worth, but a reflection of my unwavering commitment to myself.

They fail to comprehend that my singleness is not a curse, but a deliberate choice, a testament to my resolve to await the arrival of the "right man," one whose existence would complement my own.

𝑃𝑢𝑓𝑓... at the right time, the right man would come for me.

Who's with me on this?...

It's Monday morning
Up and preparing for work
(𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 ...) it's definitely my assistant I said confidently. Turns out it was my dad.

My parents got separated when I was six. Dad's been single ever since, meanwhile Mom got remarried when I was ten.

Despite everything Dad makes sure he calls constantly to check in on my sis and I.

"Hello, Baby doll," Dad said, his voice cheerful.

"Hello, Dad." I smiled.

"How are you doing, princess?" He said

"Great, just getting ready for work." I replied trying to get my stuff together.

"Quit and come back to Daddy," he joked.

I laughed, knowing I had to wrap up the conversation.

Dad's calls always brighten my day. I miss him and mum being together, although they're happier apart I guess. My sister, Sasha, has her differences with Dad, but at the moment she's married.

Got to the office, employees whispering, "lonely sassy bitch's here." As I could read their lips.
I ignored them, focusing on new business proposals for the week.

I missed Dad's call twice.
Wondered why he had called again. When I called back, he stated it was an invitation for me to join him on a vacation to Hawaii.

Hawaii? That's where my ex-fiancé, Dustin, lives. The memories still sting.

I declined Dad's invitation at first, citing work commitments and tried explaining with reasons why I wouldn't be available but he simply refused and insist I take a break after he hung up on me.

Little did I know, this conversation would set off a chain of events.
