~ Ashley’s POV ~

Marriage?” Dad asked confused.

 

Exactly. I mean what better way is there to strengthen our business and friendship.” Mr. Brown said and I looked at him disgusted.

 

Well, the decision is entirely left to Ashley. Whether she wants to get married or not.” Mum said and I agree with her. They can’t just force me into a marriage.

 

So Ashley, what do you think?” Dad asked and just as I was about to speak, Mr. Brown interrupted.

 

Who would say no to this handsome son of mine? Kaleb is quite a paragon of masculinity.” Mr Brown said and I became infuriated.

 

I don’t think Ashley is happy with this.” Dad said and Mr. Brown frowned.

 

Well, that is not good. If our children can’t get married then I’m afraid our business partnership will have to be over.” Mr. Brown said and Dad’s eyes widened. I know he can’t afford to loose a partner like Mr. Brown.

 

 

” It’s not like that Brown. It’s just…”

 

You have 24hours to decide what you want. Kaleb and I shall take our leave now.” Mr. Brown said interrupting dad. He and his obviously handsome son, stood up and went out of the house.

 

Such Impunity they display!

 

So now Marriage is now a condition for business..and I’m the BAIT?

 

I won’t partake in this nonsense. I won’t get married to a boy who I have no idea where he came from or who he is.

 

And it seems he already has a child outside marriage. Impossible!

 

I’m going to my room now.” I said and went upstairs angrily.

Did you just see what happened!” I said almost yelling and Jane just shook her head.

 

Brown is being selfish obviously.” She replied.

 

Ashley hasn’t even stayed up to a month with us and now she is to get married and leave us forever.”

 

But honey, Kaleb doesn’t seem like a bad boy. There’s nothing to worry about.”

 

Oh, I see you’re on their side ey Jane?”

 

 

No, I’m just saying. If you loose Mr. Brown as your partner, be sure our empire has gone into the dumpster.” She raised a very important point. If I loose Mr. Brown as a partner, my business will crumble beyond repairs.

 

Think about it sweetie. There’s nothing to loose.” Jane said then stood up and left the living room.

~ Kaleb’s POV ~

Dad I’m honestly not in support of this idea of yours.” I said as we were driven home.

 

Shut up! You’re just a kid. You won’t understand the intelligent tactics I’ve just played.” Dad replied and I rolled my eyes.

 

You and Mum successfully frustrated Tricia and she ran away and left Mia with me.”

 

Oh forget about Tricia, that girl is no good for you as a wife. She is not rich like us, I never liked her. Ashley is rich and beautiful. And she can take care of your Mia your child more than how Tricia would’ve.” Dad said and If not that he’s my dad, I would’ve knocked some brains into that bald head of his.

 

Dad, now woman can take care of a child more than the mother.” I said and dad shot me a bad look.

 

Take it or leave it. You will marry Ashley and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hector will not want to see his business crash, so he’ll marry off his beautiful daughter to us.” Dad said and I still have this feeling that there is a hidden agenda behind all of this.

~ Liam’s POV ~

WHAT?!” Ryan yelled after Ashley finished narrating what happened downstairs.

 

They want to get you married?” I said shocked as well.

 

Well that’s impossible…at least for now! And I won’t let you get married into that sketchy family of the Brixlars!” Ryan said annoyed.

 

But he threatened to cut of partnership with daddy’s business.” Ashley said and Ryan looked at her.

 

Let him go to hell with his partnership! We don’t need it.”

 

Actually Ryan we do, without Mr. Brown’s partnership we may go bankrupt in uhm…….256 Days, 9hours, 7minutes and 45seconds after the termination.” I said giving specific details.

 

Hmm…quite specific Liam.” Ashley said and I smiled.

 

Well, being a mathematician pays off once in a while.” I replied and A

 

shley and I high-fived.

 

We’re doing something reasonable and you guys are ‘high-fiving’??” Ryan yelled in rage.

 

C’mon Ryan. Why are so worked up. I’m the one who’s supposed to be angry here but I’m not, I know dad won’t sell me off just like that.” Ashley said and Ryan looked as if he calmed down a bit.

 

Yes Ryan. Calm down. I don’t even know why you’re this angry.” I said and Ryan grunted loudly and stormed out of the room in rage.

~ Ryan’s POV ~

Why can’t she understand that I care about her so much? Why can’t she just understand that I love her so much, and not just sisterly love but…Ah! I can’t explain.

 

I’m deeply in love with her.

 

From the very first time I set my eyes on her, despite her ugliness then. I loved her, and now that she has transformed into a beauty goddess, I seem to love her more. My love increases for her DAY by DAY.

 

I can’t let her get married to that jerk called Kaleb. I mean, if Tricia could run away from him, don’t you think Ashley won’t like it there. I can never allow her get married. She will be for me and ME alone!

 

I won’t let dad or anyone marry her off, especially if she will be married off to Kaleb.

 

I will have to go and talk to dad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was already dinner time, but it seems like the preparation of the food was delayed because up till now, the food isn’t ready.

 

” This is my chance to talk to dad.” I said and rushed downstairs.

 

If you want to ask dad for something and you want him to agree, just ask him when he’s hungry. He’ll agree to it so that you’ll leave him alone and stop pestering him.

 

Good evening dad.” I greeted as I went downstairs.

 

Evening son, haven’t seen you all afternoon.” He said and I sat beside him.

 

Well, I’ve been busy with something.” I replied and he nodded his head.

 

Well dad, I wanted to talk to you about something.” I said and he adjusted himself on his seat.

 

Well I’m all ears.”

 

Dad, Ashley told me about the whole marriage proposal stuff by the Brixlars.” I said and he looked at me.

 

Continue.”

 

Well, I don’t think it’s proper we agree to it. Ashley hasn’t spent up to a month with us, were still trying to know her and now you want to set her with a life commitment?”

 

I know where you’re heading son. Is there anything else you’d like to say?” Dad inquired.

 

Yes, actually I’d like to ask or should I say beg that you don’t agree to the proposal.” I said and dad chuckled a bit.

 

Well? What do you say?”

 

You’ll find out son. First, go call everyone. I have an announcement to make.” Dad said and I rushed upstairs to call my siblings. I know he will annul the proposal.

 

 

After calling Liam, Mum and Ashley, we all assembled in the living room awaiting dad’s announcement.

 

Good evening everyone.” He greeted.

 

Evening dad.”

 

Well, I’m sure everyone knows that matter at hand now. Which is the marriage proposal made by the Brixlars regarding your sister and daughter Ashley.” Dad said and there was silence.

 

I have made my decision. And as the head of the family my decision stands and no one is to debate or argue on it. Agreed?” Dad said and we all nodded in agreement.

 

Perfect. Now, I’ve considered everything and everyone’s pleas whether to get Ashley married or not and I’ve come to a conclusion.” Dad said and everyone awaited his decision.Kindly share out stories from generalloaded.com using the floating social media icon buttons on the bottom of the screen
