Terrence Howard

Before I even agree fully to this whole nonsense I have a few conditions of my own.

Terrence:I'll marry her on one condition though
Jack:What is that son?
Terrence:That you sign over the whole company to me
Taraji:That actually works
Alice:So if we hand over the companies fully to you guys you will do it it
Micheal:I don't know...
Jack:I'm not sure about this too
Bernice:They will sign over the companies early tomorrow morning
Micheal:Baby we...
Alice:I don't want to here anything but the solution to our problems and our kids just save the four of us a whole lot of money so its happening.
Taraji:so how is this suppose to happen,do we go to the court house and just sign over there then we move or?
Bernice:Court house? Not happening you will have an actual wedding with guests and its happening in six months time so prepare yourselves
Taraji:SIX MONTHS?!!
Alice:We'll leave you two together so that you get to know each other but Terrence she must move in with you as soon as tomorrow do the media won't be to suspicious

Move in with me??! How am I going to explain this to Nia...I should've haven't agreed to all of this no company is worth losing her

It was just her and I left in the lounge,I don't even know what to say to her

Terrence:I'm Terrence
Taraji:Taraji
Terrence:This weird
Taraji:Tell me about it
Terrence:Let's do this in gonna go home then I'll fetch you tomorrow so you can move in because they said this has to happen as soon as tomorrow and just so I can break it off with Nia
Taraji:You have a girlfriend...
Terrence:We engaged actually...
Taraji:I'm so sorry we call this whole thing off I don't want to....
Terrence:Taraji just relax! We can't call this off because we both know what's at stake if this doesn't happen
Taraji:I guess

I handed her my phone so she can put her number in

Taraji:You can text me your address no need to fetch me

Nia is going to be so heartbroken but hopefully she'll understand why I have to do all of this all we have to do is just be married for a year then we'll divorce after that then I can continue building a life with the woman that I love. I got home in less than an hour and was just dreading having this conversation with Nia,I walked in to the lounge she was was sitting with a bottle of red wine and watching TV

Terrence:Hey
Nia:Long day
Terrence:don't know the half of it
Nia:I can tell, you want a drink

She's  definitely going to need a strong one after I tell her this

Terrence:We need to talk
Nia:Okay this sounds serious

I took a seat next to her and held her hands in mine

Terrence:Baby you know I love you more than anything in life and I would've ever think of hurting in whatever way
Nia:Terrence what's going on?
Terrence:The company is bankrupt
Nia:What do you mean the company is bankrupt how deep are we talking?
Terrence:We could shut down in less than a year that's how huge it is
Nia:That can't happen Terrence!! What about my lifestyle? The house,my car no no no this can't happen

Is she really worried about materialistic things as a time like this

Terrence:My parents came up with a solution but I don't think that you gonna like it
Nia:I don't care we have to do whatever it takes to make sure that doesn't happen Terrence
Terrence:I have to marry someone else

There is goes

Nia:Huh?
Terrence:I have to me marry someone else in order to save the business
Nia:You gotta be shitting me Terrence
Terrence:No my parents decided to merge the company with Henson Oils
Nia:What happens if you don't marry that bitch they want you to marry?
Terrence:we'll have no choice but to shut down
Nia:Shut down you mean that you'll no longer be CEO
Terrence:Everything will be gone this house, the cars basically the life we living now will be fine very soon be over in under a year
Nia:Okay marry her

Terrence:Baby this is only for a few months after that everything will be back to normal
Nia:Will there be a wedding?
Terrence:I don't know our parents will handle all the details
Nia:is she pretty?
Terrence:if she is I don't know because you're the only woman I see I love you
Nia:Okay babe I love you

Next Day
Taraji P Henson

As badly as I want to keep my family's legacy alive,I don't want to marry that man but I have no choice. I just finished packing my last suitcase with my mom helping me

Bernice:Which car will you take?
Taraji:To go there?
Bernice:No to keep
Taraji:I have to use one car all the time now? You kidding me
Bernice:Baby me and Daddy are going to sell some of our cars because we have to sell some of the cars
Taraji:All I know we not selling any of my cars
Bernice:Raji...
Taraji:It's not like we living beyond our means I don't even know why I'm talking to you about this
Bernice:Baby...
Micheal:I'll take your bags to the car,what time you leaving?
Taraji:In about an hour let me call Terrence to ask him if he's home or not

Terrence:Hello
Taraji:Are you home?
Terrence:No but you can go over to the house,my housekeeper is there I'll send you the location  just now
Taraji:okay

Bernice:He's home
Taraji:No
Bernice:Then where is he? It's a Saturday he can't be at work
Taraji:Why you asking me?
Bernice:Raji you need to understand that Terrence is going to be your husband so your attitude needs to change,knowing where he is 24/7 is essential
Taraji:Mama...
Bernice:We can call this off you know...
Taraji:NO NO NO I have to do this but don't I really have to stay with him?
Bernice:Yes you have too

I drove into a big mansion almost as big as my parents house and parked my car next to a white Porsche
I pressed the door bell and within minutes a old lady opened for me and wasn't surprised,I guess Terrence mentioned that I was coming

Jaunita:Welcome Miss Henson my name is Jaunita I'm Mr Howard's housekeeper
Taraji:Taraji please
Jaunita:Okay no problem you can have a seat in the lounge and I'll bring you something to drink

I walked in and the house was more beautiful

Taraji:Jaunita can please just show me the bedroom I'll be sleeping in
Jaunita:its the last door on the left down the passage John and I will bring your bags upstairs

I gave my keys to her and went upstairs to the bedroom assigned for me
