Anabel woke up to see a gift at her door step, she carried it smiling as she closed the door behind her.

Mr Greg was in the kitchen frying eggs and making toast, he came over to meet his daughter pouring her a cup of milk and hand's it over to her. 

Anabel sat quietly pushing the gift aside, her father sat wondering who it was from.

"Richie again?" Asked Mr Greg.

Anabel nods her head, she gulps down the drink.

"You can't blame me for being worried, i'm your father."

Anabel waited for him to say whatever he wanted to say, he hesitated for a while then continued.

"I spoke with Dave last night, he is coming over for dinner tonight. You don't need to cook he is coming along with his chef, his cook will here any moment from now to stock the kitchen with food stuff and drinks.

"Richie as i gathered gambles a lot." Said Mr Greg.

"Oh, money." Anabel concluded

"No my dear, not money!" he said trying to drive home his point.

"Then what is it, dad?" She asked impatiently.

"Women! And I don't want you to fall a victim, not while I'm alive!"

He is in the habit of dating supermodels for two weeks after that he dumps them like a piece of cabbage! I won't allow that happen to you."

"His last break - up was terrible  his girlfriend committed suicide because he dumped her within twenty four hours!"

Anabel didn't know what to say or do, she can't argue with this one man who cares a lot about her.

She thought within her

"I'm not a supermodel, I'm just a girl who is happy having the best dad in the world."

But if what her dad said was true,

" Richie will definitely not have his way with me."

Fear showing in his eyes. Seeing the fear in his eyes caused her to try hard control her emotions and forget about him for good. She decided to keep silent.
