No Room For Love Episode 20
‘Hello sir, I want to apologize for my behavior the last time, I was in a bad place with my dad then.’ Kate said after she had settled down in the Glover house.
‘Well I still don’t agree to my son marrying you!’
‘That is what I want too!’ Kate quickly chipped in.
‘However, my son won’t back down even after knowing he might be raising somebody else’s baby.’ Kate was embarrassed but she didn’t want to show her stubbornness again.
‘Moreover, he keeps ranting about the fact that you are carrying his baby.’
‘No sir, this child is mine alone.’ Kate quickly replied. ‘I’m sure he’s just paranoid.’
‘Maybe you are right.’ Mr. Glover admitted.
‘Please speak to my dad so he cancels this wedding plan.’
‘I’m sorry Miss, I love my son, in as much as I don’t want him marrying you. I can’t decide for him, what makes him happy. He has been through a lot already so if he says you are the one, who am I to reject you?’
‘What about my own happiness then.’ Kate asked when she obviously wasn’t making any heads way with him.
‘Well work out your own salvation? Wedding is in a month, take it or leave it. Your dad wants it done soon.’
Kate just got so angry, confused and stormed out of there without a word. She drove straight home, walked in on her parents sitting on separate beds.
‘ Dad can we talk?’
He just looked sadly at her for a second. Kate was sure he saw the tears in her eyes.
‘Mom, can you please excuse us?’
Her mom made to say something but she closed her mouth and walked out.
‘Dad I know you would have wished mommy was alive but I understand I killed her.’
‘You have no idea what you are talking about.’ He responded.
Kate just ignored and continued.
‘It was a tough decision to make back then, the love of your life, or your child and I believe you loved me when you chose me. Why then are you so angry with me?’
‘Just stop talking.’ Wilson managed to say again.
‘You always forget I lost a mother too, so you are not the only one who lost someone.’
‘So? Would that bring her back?’ He asked angrily.
‘But I’m the innocent one here, I could just leave this house and never see you again, but I’m still here hoping you would change soon.’
‘You should leave. I don’t need you around here.’
‘I can’t leave mom behind, she wouldn’t leave with me because she loves you too much and can’t leave you attending to your own needs.’
‘Good for her.’ He hissed.
‘Cancel this wedding and I would do whatever you want.’
‘Get married rather, and I would treat that murderer of a mother right.’
‘Okay I will get married, but not to that man, I mean I do not even like the man.’ Kate finally gave up with a condition.
EPISODE 21
‘I want to marry a man of my choice.’
‘Okay I give you two weeks to bring that man of your choice, if you don’t your wedding with Nectar will push through.’
‘What if i needed more time to find a man.’
‘You know I still have the pictures and you don’t want to see your face all over the internet, right?’
For once, her dad spoke to her without venom in his voice. Her Mom was standing behind the door when she came out.
‘I’m sure you heard everything. Mom leave with me and there are men out there that would adore you, unlike my dad.’
‘Baby, you will never understand, I can’t leave.’
‘Mom I don’t want to get married.’ Kate said amidst tears.
‘Then don’t!’ She said cuddling her daughter.
‘But he will maltreat you.’
‘Kate your dad, I can handle. I have stayed with this man long before you came to this world.’
‘So, you mean you can’t do this for your baby girl right.’
‘Kate, you are everything I have. I love you but don’t you think I have already done enough digging on Nectar?’ Catherine shoved her an ugly look.
‘Well, i don’t know mom.’ She sounded confused.
‘If I thought he was a bad man I would gladly leave with you, but my dear, I met the man over a long talk during the weekend; he has genuine intentions for you.’
Kate hissed. ‘I’m sure he lied to you.’
‘He loves you and of course, you don’t but you may want to consider marrying him.’
‘I don’t see what’s so important about marrying Nectar.’
‘No man would agree to marry a woman carrying another man’s child unless he thinks that child is his or he probably love you too much.’
‘Mum I can’t believe you are also siding with dad on this.’
‘I’m not my dear. If you don’t want to fine but don’t stay in this house because you think I’m being treated unfairly.’
‘But you are being treated unfairly mom.’
‘You can’t waste your time here with me. I’m already old, and I want seven grandchildren.’
That part cracked Kate up and she smiled. ‘Seven is too much mom.’
‘Okay but your child needs a father, you of all people should understand that. If your Dad were different, I’m sure your child would have a better home and father here. Every child needs a father in their lives especially girls.’
‘Mom I don’t know the gender yet.’
‘Yes, I know but that child needs a father. You don’t want him or her growing up asking you too much questions as you do all the time. Give him a good home my dear.’
Just then, Jane walked in on them. ‘For once this step mom of yours made a little sense.’
‘Grams you also want me to marry that man.’ Kate stressed.
‘Yes, or any other man you want raising your child. Unfortunately, my sons’ disrespect towards my suggestions are irritating me so I could not convince him further.’
‘Dad is just mean to everyone.’ Kate retorted.
‘As it stands now, you can’t keep holding on to your past, bring another man home if you so don’t like the other guy.’ Jane advised and Kate raised an eyebrow confusedly.
EPISODE 22
The next day, Kate visited Drake and luckily, her two other friends were there.
‘James, will you marry me as soon as possible?’ Kate asked after a long silence and he nearly choked on his drink.
‘What Kate?’ He asked with a weird tone.
She narrated everything to them. Just then Anthon opened his mouth wide as if he had a better suggestion. ‘Drake won’t you marry her since you always wanted to.’
Kate was lost as to what they were talking about. Drake just smiled and gave a cheeky answer.
‘Kate are you for real. I can marry you.’ He blushed and smiled. ‘I mean we could pretend to be married. Drake finally said.
‘Drake you think my dad isn’t smart enough to know we would be pretending?’
‘It’s worth the try.’ Drake grinned annoyingly.
‘Besides I don’t want to destroy your love life with your girlfriend, she won’t understand.’
‘What if you marry the man on contract basis.’ Anthon said?
‘How?’ She asked curiously. ‘You can talk to him, I’m sure if he loves you, he wouldn’t want to lose you for a year.’
‘Anthon this your suggestion doesn’t make sense and i don’t want to end up tied down.’
‘He is right Kate.’ Drake finally spoke up, in a weird way. ‘Call him up and discuss that with him.’
Kate and James stared at the two guys as they hurried up to leave their joint.

She called him up through her secretary the next day for lunch, which he claimed he had a life to save so they should reschedule.
Kate was home a few weeks later, when her mom announced he was waiting for her downstairs. Kate rushed down in her pajamas, just to meet her dad sitting there chatting with Nectar.
‘Young girl, will you go back and put on something appropriate.’
‘Yes, Kate. You should besides we are going out to have that talk now.’ Nectar said affectionately.
She rolled her eyes and went up to change. Kate didn’t understand why she rushed down in her pajamas in the first place.
She finally came down after what looked like hours.
‘So, put on a proper dress and you dress as if you are standing by the roadside waiting for your clients as usual. Was that what kept you in there that long?’ Her Dad angrily asked sizing her up.
