Tatiana Kamerie
I stood in front of my dad's office and took a deep breath before going inside. I knocked the door two times and walked in. I saw my dad sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed.
"Dad, are you okay?" I asked my dad as I closed the door. He opened his eyes and he shook his head.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I walked closed to him. I sat beside him and he sighed.
"The company.. is bankrupt." He said and my eyes widened. I was speechless and I know how much this company means to him. It's everything for him and the fact that it's bankrupt broke my heart too.
"How?"
"It's not shocking news for me because I know it's slowly going down but I've been trying to lift it up for about 3 years but it got worse." He said in a really sad tone.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked as I held his hand.
"Mr. Romeo will come in a few minutes and I will ask him to invest in our company and give him a big percentage of the share." I hope this Mr. Romeo will help my dad because or else I will see my dad being sad and broken hearted.
Suddenly there's a knock on the door and my dad got up from the seat instantly. He walked to the door and opened it. He smiled widely and shook the man's hand. I got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
My eyes widened and I gulped to see.. him. So he's Mr. Romeo. He saw me and he didn't look surprised at all. My dad led him inside and my dad asked him to sit. He smirked at me and then he turned to my dad.
"Mr. Romeo, this is Tatiana, my one and only daughter." My dad introduced me to him and he smirked looking at me. I was trying to avoid his eyes.
"Tatiana, this is Mr. Romeo."
"Deandre Romeo." He put his hand in front of me and I shook it. I don't have any other choice than being polite because he will be my dad's company investor at some point.
"Please sit down." My dad gestured to him to sit and he walked towards the sofa. He sat down, put right leg up to the table and looked at us arrogantly. I sat down beside my dad and I can't believe this guy's attitude. He looked around the office and then he turned to my dad.
"I hate talking about useless things so I'll just get to the point, Mr. Kamerie." Deandre said and my dad nodded.
"I will invest 5 million dollar for your company but I won't give it to you for free. I want 2 things." He said in an arrogant tone. He sat up straight and he turned to me smiling evilly.
"Please tell me.. I will grant your wish." I can't believe my dad said that.
"First, I want 60% of the share for 10 years and I will send 7 of my people to work here. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes.. I can tolerate that."
"The second one.. I want your daughter." He said as he pointed at me. My eyes widen and I got up right away. My anger rises up that second.
"I'm engaged!" I said as I showed him my ring. He smirked and leaned back to the sofa. He turned to my dad and raised his eyebrows.
"It's up to you, Mr. Kamerie. It's your choice."
"Yes, you can take my daughter." My dad said and that shocked me more.
"Dad!"
"Great." He said and he took his phone out. He called someone and I turned to my dad.
"Dad! I can't believe you sell me to a guy that we both don't even know." I bursted out.
"Bring the contract in.." He said and ended the call.
"I don't have any other choice." My dad said without looking at me.
"Dad! I'm engaged to Eric and we're going to get married in 2 months!" I bursted and tears came out from my eyes. I was angry.. my body burned in anger and I looked up to the ceiling.
Suddenly someone walked into the office with a black file in his hands. He gave the file to Deandre and Deandre opened it on the table. He pushed it towards my dad.
"Call Eric.." My dad told me and I walked out from the office. I walked towards Eric's office and bursted into his office. He was surprised to see me crying.
"You should go to my dad's office." I said.
"What? Is there something wrong?" He asked in a panic tone, I dragged him to my dad's office.
"So.. you're her fiance?" Deandre got up from his seat. He walked towards me and Eric. He stood in front of us and looked at Eric arrogantly.
"Who are you?" Eric asked in a rude tone.
"Respect him, Eric! He's our investor and our one and only hope!" My dad bursted coldly.
"What?" Eric asked my dad disbelief. Suddenly Deandre took my left hand and took off my engagement ring.
"Hey!" I hissed.
"What the-" Eric said and he almost punched Deandre but my dad stopped him. Deandre threw my engagement ring away and I looked at the ring on the ground. I was speechless. I turned to Deandre disbelief and he smirked.
"You're not his fiance anymore.. You're mine." He said as he slipped a new ring on me. I looked at it in disbelief. The ring is two times bigger than Eric's.
"You!" Eric was going to punch him but my dad pushed him away.
"You need to respect me, Eric, or else you will sleep on the street tomorrow." Deandre said in an arrogant tone. I was going to take off the ring but Deandre stopped me. He pulled me into his arms and when I was going to push him away, he whispered to my ear.
"If you take it off, your father.. your ex-fiance will end up on the street without their clothes. Do you want that, beautiful?"
"You bastard!" I pushed him and he laughed evilly.
"We're settle then.. James, I will marry your daughter in 2 months and tomorrow she will move to my mansion." Deandre said.
"You! Son of a bi-" Eric bursted.
"You're a really good actor, Eric. You really are.." Deandre said and that stopped Eric. That made me confused, good actor? What does that mean?
"I'll see you tonight, Tatiana." Deandre turned to me and smirked.
"You asshole!"
"Thankyou." He said and then he and his secretary walked out the door with the contract on his secretary's hand. I was speechless.
"You signed.. the contract?" I asked my dad.
"I don't have any other choice."
"You sold your daughter, James!" Eric bursted.
"The company is bankrupt, Eric. If he didn't invest, we all will end up on the street without even a cent to live!" My dad bursted and Eric's face changed.
"What?"
"Deandre Romeo will invest 5 million dollars for us and he asked us for 60% of share only. We will go back to our path, Eric."
"Dad! I'm engaged to Eric!"
"You can marry him and then get divorce." Eric suddenly said and I turned to him disbelief. I was speechless to hear him say that. He was angry 2 minutes ago and now he agreed?
"Eric.. are you out of your mind?" I asked him.
"After the company is stable, we can pay him back and you can divorce him." He added and I scoffed coldly.
"Tatiana.."
"You're not my dad and you're not my fiance anymore!" I bursted angrily and walked out from the door. I left the office and drove to my apartment. I walked into my room and cried my heart out.
Tatiana Kamerie"Don't talk to me!" I pushed Eric away and took my luggage out from my apartment."Tatiana.. listen to-""Listen? Listen? You agreed about me marrying that bastard? Are you crazy?" I bursted angrily at him."Tatiana.. listen to me.. listen to me.." He grabbed both of my hands forcing me to listen to him. I pulled my hands away from him and took my luggage with me."Where are you going?" He asked."Away from all of you!" I hissed as I walked into the lift. I pressed the L button and closed the lift door. I walked out from the lift and my eyes widened to see Deandre standing there leaning to the wall. He smirked at me and then he walked to me.
Deandre Romeo"Lucas!!!" I said as I entered my bestfriend's office."Hey bud.. What's up?" He asked as he walked to the sofa. I plopped down on his sofa and he raised his eyebrows looking at me suspiciously."What?" I asked."You're acting weird.. What did you do?""I'm getting married next month." I said and he looked at me with a bored expression."Tell me who hit your head, I'll hit their heads back." Lucas said flatly."I'm not joking.." I said as I took out the invitation from my pocket. I threw it to him and he caught it. He looked at it and his eyes widened like it was going to pop up in a second. He turned to me in disbelief.
Deandre RomeoMy eyes stuck to see Tatiana moving around her things from the truck to my house. She pulled her hair into a bun and wore a big sweatshirt and shorts. She has no make up on too and for me I like to see her with no make up on rather than she has her makeup on.She wiped her sweat from her forehead and looked at her things like she's counting it inside her head. She turned to me and I raised my champagne glass smirking at her. She looked at me coldly and then she walked out again.I know I'm not being a gentleman by not helping her but it's quite amusing to see her carrying big things with her small and slim body. She's a model and I know she's been working out so.. I don't think she will have a problem carrying those things.I heard she's groaning everytime she
Tatiana KamerieI walked out from Deandre's room and suddenly there's a lot of guards entering the room with all my stuff. That confused me.. They asked me where to put it and I asked them to put in the middle of the room."Thankyou.""Your welcome, Miss..""Just call me Tatiana." I said."I'm sorry but Mr. Romeo won't allow us to call-""Ms. Kamerie." I cut him and he nodded."If you need anything Ms. Kamerie, just press that button." He pointed at the black button on the wall. I nodded and he walked away. Why didn't they help me earlier? Gosh. I walked into the room and plopped my body to the sofa. I felt the hot patch is starting to warm up a litt
Tatiana KamerieI walked into my dad's office and he got up from his seat when he saw me. I walked to him with anger ready to crush him into pieces."I want you to give the money back to Deandre." I said seriously and he shook his head."Tatiana, it's our only way to say the company.""You sold me to him without even hearing my side! Is this company more important to you than your own daughter?" I bursted big time and he sighed."He's rich and you'll be happy." He said simply like it's nothing."Dad! I love Eric and I can't believe you trade me for money.. that's crazily insane.""Just use him.. you can get all his money by marrying him." He said as
Deandre RomeoI got out of my car and walked into my house. My eyes landed on Tatiana's back right away. She was sitting on the bench facing the garden. She looked up to the sky blankly. It was like she's looking for something up there.I remembered our first meeting 7 months ago. We met at the bar and she's drunk and sober at the same time which was pretty interesting to watch. She sat on the table beside mine and she was talking to her friends like a drunk woman. She talked about Eric like he's a prince charming.She was so happy until she stood on the table and all eyes on her. She was dancing and calling Eric like she's reading a mantra. Me and my friends talked again when suddenly she came to our table. She pointed her index finger at me and smiled.She introduced hers
Tatiana KamerieDeandre literally doesn't care about the wedding, he just gave everything to the professional and dragged me with them. I always wanted to plan my own wedding.. pick my own wedding dress, pick my own cake, pick my own food, pick the venue together and plan everything together from the scratch but now I do it all alone with the team that Deandre picked.I rarely see him too because I always wake up early to go to work and then I go to work. I will come and sleep and then he will come home late and then the cycle goes on like that. We do sleep in one bed but I put a lot of pillows in the middle.Deandre always treats me coldly without thinking about my feelings and listens from my side. I really can't marry him, imagining my life with him after the marriage.. is just I can't even imagine it. I will be
Tatiana Kamerie"Where are we going?""Our honeymoon, darling." He answered as he opened his car door and got out. He walked to the jet leaving me alone with this big wedding dress. Unbelievable! I opened the door and got out by myself. I walked to the jet and Deandre's secretary helped me."I have no clothes!" I said to Deandre as he sat down. He gestured his secretary and his secretary gave me a new set of clothes. Suddenly Deandre got up and took my wrist. He dragged me into a room."What are you doing?""Helping my wife to open her dress." He smirked as he walked towards me and I walked backwards."I can do it myself." I said as I stopped him by putting my hand on his chest. He raised hi
Ian Xander"What did you two do this time?" I asked my sons as I walked into the principal's office."Mr. Xander, your sons put a glue on Mrs. Volly's and Mr. Westernski's chair." The principal, Mr. Lone said. I sighed and looked at the twins angrily."They hate us in the first place.. why bother being a good boy?" Deandre said."He's right." His twin, Romeo said. Yes Tatiana named them with my previous name, Deandre Romeo, and yes I have a twin."You two are grounded for a month!" I bursted angrily and they shrugged."How about their grade?" I turned to the principal and he checked it through his computer. He fixed his glass looking at it a few times.
Tatiana KamerieI stood in front of the door nervously with a cake on my hands. I blinked my eyes a few times and the door opened slowly."Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to you.." I started to sing and Ian looked surprise. He smiled widely and I tried to light up the candle with one hand but he took the lighter from me."Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to you.. Happy 32 birthday baby." I said and he chuckled."Make a wish." He closed his eyes for a moment and then he blew the candle. He took the cake and put it down on the table. I was going to protest but he crashed his lips to mine. I circled my arms around him."So this is why you didn't answer my call huh? You made me rush home to make sure you're okay?" He raised
Ian Xander"My Tatiana!" Crystal hugged Tatiana tightly and then she hugged Lucas as well. I hugged Lucas briefly and then I hugged Crystal too. Me and Tatiana sat in front of the Vectons and we ordered our dinner first."Good to have you back, Andre.""You still call him Deandre?" Tatiana asked."He mixed it every time.. sometimes Ian sometimes Deandre." Crystal said."Just Ian.. you idiot." I said to Lucas and he smirked."At last.. he had been looking at you as a shadow all this time.""Huh?" Tatiana looked at Lucas confused."Ian here always stays around you all the time. Like every time you went for a dr
Tatiana KamerieI opened my eyes slowly and sat up on my bed. I felt my head hurting because of the alcohol that I consumed yesterday. I drank a lo- Ian! I looked around and he's not in the room. I got up from the bed and ran out from my room.I looked around the kitchen.. the guess room and I took a breath of relieve when I saw him at the balcony looking outside. I walked towards him and stood beside him."Good morning." I said and he just stood there."So what do you want for breakfast? Waffle? Pancakes?" I asked as I turned my head to him. He turned to me and I found his eyes were puffy. He pulled me into a hug and he hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged him back.I felt his chest rising up and down. I
Tatiana Kamerie"Come Tatiana, 2 sets more." My trainer said."I can't. I cant breath anymore.. please.""No.. do it. That's for eating a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream." He said."I was watching a movie.""Then why eating ice cream instead of something healthy like an apple or an orange." He hissed and I rolled my eyes."Fine." I said and I did 2 more burpees. Patrick gave me a high five and I chuckled."Is your ear better?" He asked and I nodded."It's fine. I'm used to it now." I said truthfully and he nodded. He gestured me to rest and I sat down on the ground taking my water bottle and drank everything
Ian Xander"Ms. Kamerie's right ear was hit pretty hard and she won't be able to hear everything normal like she used to. It was damaged pretty bad."I punched the glass in front of me and regreted letting her slip from my hands. I took a deep breath and I felt my heart aching so much. It was my fault that she's hurt. I looked at the blood running through my hands and I turned the water on."Hey." I turned to see Lucas."She won't be able to hear normally again with her right ear.""Deandre.. it's no-""Why is everyone around me will get hurt at some point?" I bursted angrily."You're hurting
Tatiana Kamerie"But sorry.. I can't give you my life because I'm here to live for you." I said seriously to him and he turned his body away from me. I grabbed his arm and he turned to me pushing my hands away."Ian, please." I grabbed his arm again and he turned his head to me again."Just go away, Tatiana. Stop bothering my life!" He bursted angrily at me."I can't live without you so please.." I said."I can't live without you, Ian. I.. I don't know why you're divorcing me because you're afraid that I will blame you for everything that happens." I said and he looked at me."I have a rough life, Tatiana. Adding you in it.. will make my life harder so just go away."
Ian XanderI walked inside the private room and saw Lucas already sitting down on the sofa sipping his glass of alcohol."She's not fine. She misses you." He said without looking at me. I sat down right across him and took a new glass from the lower part of the table and poured the alcohol into it."How's Portwalt?" I asked."Here." He suddenly threw a small box to me and I caught it. I looked at it and then turned my head to Lucas."From your wife.""I'm a divorced man." I hissed coldly."So what are you planning to do now?" Lucas asked."Going to move to Santorini soon." I said as I opened the box and my bo
Tatiana KamerieI walked into my new apartment and threw myself to the sofa. I looked up to the ceiling and plugged my earphone into my ear. I played Open Arms by Boyz II Men and closed my eyes.Suddenly my phone rang and I picked up."Hey." It's Crystal."Hey..""Where are you?""My apartment.""Okay cool! I bought pizza and ice creams.. let's watch a lot of movies." She said and I chuckled."Okay.""See you in 7 minutes." She said and then she ended the call. I got up from my seat and walked towards the fridge. I took out a lot of beer and started to open one. I sat
