2024-10-29 19:42:56"Our men are not here and he is armed." I pointed to the gun that he clearly hid in his pants, "and you are without a weapon, it seems you trust him a lot." I snarled at Zane and he grinned devilishly at my feistiness,
"Calm down mama, swear on my mother I'm not going to harm him." He raised his hand in defeat but I glared him to hell, he moved closer and then I cocked the gun,
"You would be the 206th person I would be killing if you took a step closer, I'll lunge multiple bullets into you and I don't bluff." I warned and his smirk grew wider.
"She's good." He complimented, shooting it at my dad,
"I told you she was. You can't make a mistake picking her." Daddy agreed and I got confused.
"What's going on here?" My aim was unwavering, it could be a distraction, and getting distracted is against my training.
"Princess relax, it was a test and you seem to pass every test I throw at you." My dad laughed wholeheartedly before he cleared his throat again, "this is Zane Ash and as I said, he is a very good person. A respectable man who built his empire from scratch," he praised Zane as he stared at my figure lustfully, but I was still aiming at his head, "he deals in Nuona and specialized firearms." My eyes widened when I heard Nuona,
"Are you sure this isn't clout? Nuona is extremely rare and people are ready to pay thousands of dollars just to have that crack into their system." I was finding it very hard to believe but he only chuckled darkly, "the owner would be stupidly rich."
"And that's me sweetie, I invented it, studying science in school paid off after all." He raised himself high before pulling out his gun and placing it on the table, he then raised his hands above his head, "I surrender." He mocked me and I looked at my dad for confirmation and he nodded, meaning I should stand down.
I lowered my gun and relaxed my posture, "it's just because of daddy." I reminded him and watched him roll his eyes. I took my seat beside Daddy, making sure to flash the gun so he knows he could be dead any moment, "so do tell me, why are you here? Business? I handle that aspect."
He chuckled lightly, his eyes flashing mischief as he glanced at my exposed thighs, "yes I'm here for business but it's between your father and me, and to be honest, the deal has been concluded."
"Oh really?" I turned to my dad, I loved the sound of money, "so how many hundreds of millions are you offering us, Mr. CEO." I was coy and he was enjoying it.
"I'm not giving, I'm taking. And it's not money, it's you."
And my gun is aimed at his head again, "watch your mouth or you'll lose your life."
"Nevaeh relax." Daddy rubbed my shoulders,
"He is spewing nonsense." I hissed.
"He isn't wrong."
"What?!"
"So sorry to anger you but I came to ask for your hand in marriage, and seeing you only makes me want you more." He licked his lips once again and I eyed him in disgust.
"He's bluffing."
"Unfortunately love, he isn't. I want you to get married to Zane, he will take good care of you." I moved away from daddy after hearing the words that came from his lips.
"And I can't take good care of myself? Or am I a burden to you?" I snapped, my past with men hadn't been the best so another one coming into my life was out of the option, "did you not even think it would be best to consult me? See what I think of it?"
"I'm sorry Princess but my decision is final." Daddy's aura changed in an instant and I didn't say a word more, I stormed to my room and slammed the door shut, throwing everything apart.
This isn't happening! I was so angry that I slumped to the floor and broke down in tears, why was he doing this to me? He knows me better than anyone and he was giving me out to a complete stranger. This was the first time I was meeting Zane and now I'm to become his wife.
Over my dead body!! It's better I get shot and bleed to death than marry another man!
A little time passed and I could hear knocking on my door, "Princess open up." I heard my dad's defeated tone but I refused to open the door, he could not be feeling guilty after selling me off like I was a piece of junk. Even junk isn't treated this way.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask you about it, but this isn't a mistake, he will take good care—" I cut him short when I threw my gun at the door, the force should have been enough to make him jerk back and after a while, I heard nothing.
I was so angry that the best I could do was cry, indeed mother was right, the worst betrayal comes from your own family. I had no idea when I passed out, it was all black and I don't remember having a dream either. I woke up slowly and my eyes scanned everywhere, I was still in my room and I was on the floor.
I picked myself up and took a very long bath, cold water always helped ease tension and I got into something comfortable, a baggy shirt and some shorts. I was starving, didn't have dinner last night. I opened the room to my door and all of the servants did their best to avoid me.
I never lost my cool easily but I had been pricked in a very sensitive spot. I moved to the dining table and I saw my father there. No words were exchanged and I sat down to have breakfast. The silence was comfortable for me but it seemed it was breaking my father, so he spoke up,
"Nevaeh," he called out to me with affection and tears burned my eyes,
"Why are you doing this? Like just why? I thought it was the two of us against the world but you just went ahead to get rid of me!" I did my best not to scream so loudly,
"I know I'm making the right decision." He countered.
"Making the right decision without my permission is wrong, I have no clue who he is, I don't know what he is like and you want me to become his wife. Am I so weak that I can't protect myself? Or is it you?" I was throwing stones at the glass house, but it was because I was attacked first.
"I'm sorry." That was all I heard him say, it was a low mumble.
"Tell me this isn't true daddy, just tell me this is another joke," I begged him with tears in my eyes but he shook his head,
"The wedding is this weekend, your dress has been ordered. I know you would make your mother proud."
Nothing but silence till I stood up to leave.
"Nevaeh! Nevaeh!" He called out to me but I would be damned if I answered.

Where was I going? Far away, anywhere, so that I could clear my head.

If she were here today she would have shot daddy in the leg for his reckless decision.She died years ago when I was still little.

I shouted and my right-hand man, who never fails me, rushed in with an assist to drag the servant to the hospital."Nevaeh! Have you seen the consequences of your reckless behavior?!" Father blew hot on me but the alcohol still had effects so he could tell I was staggering, "are you drunk girl?!" He raged and I forced myself to speak."You're the cause of all of this! You! Look at what you have done! You have broken the promise you made to me and mother and I hate you for it!" I was just as angry as he was and the state I was in wasn't helping matters On a normal day, I would have stayed silent while I secretly hatched a plan to get what I wanted but the whole situation was making me spiral out of control.
