Chapter 3

"Dylan, please you can't do this to me, the bitch" said while crying.

"After everything I've done for you, I loved you, I gave you my heart, I gave you my everything, I even gave you my virginity".

"Stop lying bitch, " I replied coldly.

"Dylan, you can't just use me and trash me whenever you want I am not a toy, you know I love you so much, you are the only guy I have ever loved this much, I turned down every guy that ever came my way because of you", she replied with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Shut up Cheryl, we both know you don't love me and you're only after my money, haven't I given you enough of that already?" I said while standing up from the bed.

"Dylan ple…ase", she attempts to grab my hands, but I shrug her off and head to the window, backing her. 

"I promise to be loyal to you Dylan, please just give me one more chance".

"I am not interested in you Cheryl, moreover I only wanted to get under your skirts and you knew it". So stop chirping bitch. I said as I picked a stick of cigarette from my pack of cigarettes and slowly lit it.

"Dylan, please", I heard her sniff.  

These ladies, will they ever learn?

I took my phone and placed a call across my security, placing it on speaker.

"Hello", the security said. 

"Come get a slut out of my room". I replied and ended the call.

"The next moment, she grabbed her bag and shoes and ran out of the room", still crying.

I sighed as I watched her exit the room. 

"These ladies I wonder when they'd ever learn, they're aware that I only want them for their bodies but they keep on throwing themselves at me. Cheap women"! I thought out loudly.

I continued puffing out smoke from my mouth when I was interrupted by a call. I checked the call and discovered it was my mum calling, what could she possibly want, I sighed picking up the call. 

"Hello, mum"

"Hello, Dylan, where are you?" She asked and I heaved. I wasn't ready for any of their family dramas today. 

"I am at my penthouse, is there a problem?" I replied and asked.

"Certainly not, but you need to come home. There's something I and your Dad urgently want to discuss with you". She said,

I sighed, burying my fingers in my hair, what could be more urgent this time around? 

"Okay, Mom, I am coming right away", I replied while hanging up.

I wonder what they are cooking this time around, I sighed, picked up one of my car keys, and headed to the door.

I walked into the Talen's mansion and was greeted by the maids with a bow from them. I didn't even acknowledge their greetings. I walked into the sitting room and found Mom and Dad already waiting for me. Dad was seated on a sofa and mum sat on another sofa next to him while they discussed.

"Hi mum, hi dad", I said.

"Dylan!" Mum said while standing up to embrace me.

She is the only woman who gets to hold me this way.

"Mum, " I called back, as we both broke from the hug.

She gave me a cheery smile while patting my hair. 

"Welcome home son, come and sit", Dad said while patting the space beside him for me to come and sit.

I sat beside my mum and dad.

"So why did you ask to see me?" I was curious to find out the reason for their sudden call to come home.

"Because we have something important to tell you", Dad said looking at my mum as if giving her the signal to go ahead.

"Dylan, Mum said, holding my hands. You know you are my only son and the heir to the Talen's Empire and you know you are not getting any younger. Your Dad and I have decided that you need to take over the company and you cannot possibly do that with your playboy attitude, so we've decided that you should get a wife". Mum said, but I just stared at her. 

I didn't understand what she meant.

"I don't understand", I said scoffing.

"Dylan, my mum called, sighing.

I know it's coming to you as a shock, but we want what's best for you and the future of the company. You and the Andros's only daughter will be getting married on Saturday".

"The both of you have got to be kidding me," I said with a scoff. I mean what are they talking about? I know my parents can be dramatic at times, but this is way more than dramatic.

Who the heck is getting married?

"Dylan…."

"Wait, hold on, the both of you are pranking, me right? This is the biggest joke of the season". I interrupted my Dad who was trying to say something. 

"This is not a prank Dylan, it's for the best and you must do it. You will get married". He said with finality.

"Oh well, fuck the company and the best I don't need it. I am already successful without the company".  I said angrily walking out of the house.

"Dylan!"My mum called after me, but I ignored her and continued heading for my car.

 "Dylan common", she said as she finally caught up with me holding my hands.

"Listen to me son…"

"I thought all you ever wanted was my happiness, " I said, interrupting her. 

"It's for the best Dylan, can't you see all I am doing is for your sake, you'll finally become the heir to Talen's Empire. Do you know what it will mean for us to have the company, we will finally become the winners".

"I can't get married, mum. I'm not ready for commitments, I am only going to make life miserable for the bitch, she's only going to suffer mum, I am not ready to be a husband". 

"You don't have to stay committed once you're married, it's normal to have a taste of other women once in a while. The most important thing for us right now is getting married and taking over the company. Please don't let my efforts go down the drain".

"Wow, bravo mum. And by effort does that also include sleeping with your best friend's husband so you could give birth to an heir?",

She looked at me surprisingly, and I heard her whimpering and sniffing.

"Dylan please, understand that I want what's best for you".

She knows my weak point, she knows I hate to see her cry. I thought, rolling my eyes.

"Fine, I'll do it", I said, hugging her.
