Sold to Mr. Arrogant

His true colors

" You are aware that you are restricting my movement, right? If I screamed, everyone would point at

you negatively so why don't you let me leave now while I am asking gently." I started.

" I can ask them all to leave right this moment, this restaurant is mine you see, also I would like to hear

your screams," he smirked.

" I just want to know why were you asking around about the CEO, what is your goal?" he added.

I have to come up with an excuse if I want to get out of this situation.

" I Love you," I shouted covering my face with both my hands acting shyly.

" I am sorry I acted this suspiciously causing you to misunderstand my pure-hearted intention. I can be

stupid at times." I giggled still covering my face.

" Ha-Ha... You are so funny."

He laughed for a while which made me feel at ease.

" Do you think, I would believe that?"

This is not working... The waiter soon came back with a new dish also serving Sergio's meal and his

subordinate's.

I felt my phone ringing, it was 8 pm already, I checked the caller's identity and it was Shawn. I have to

answer him if I did not want him to track me here, I do not know why is this getting complicated.

" Look, sir. I really mean you no harm, I just wanted to get a look at the man whom I have feelings for

from a close distance. I am sorry if I caused you any discomfort," I clarified as I got up to take my leave.

His subordinate got up, tried to stop me but I dodged his hand kicking him in the abdomen as I ran as

fast as I could down the stairs to the ground floor. I heard Siergo telling his man to not pursue me.

I called Shawn back as soon as I reached the lobby.

" Why weren't you answering?" he asked.

" I am sorry, I was in the toilet."

" Where are you? I will come to fetch you."

" No need, I have already ridden a taxi, I will be there in a few minutes." I lied.

I quickly grabbed a taxi and in a flash, I reached the mansion, I wasn't that far away thankfully. I made a

decision in those few minutes though, it seems that Gerald is trying to use me. I will have to ask him

directly to end all this mess I am in. I will try to act meek if things went south with Gerald but in reality, I

have secured my escape, Tony will help me as well.

" Why were you late?" Shawn who was standing behind the front gate of the mansion asked me.

" I visited places that I used to frequent with mom when she was alive, I was reminiscing old days that I

lost track of the time." I lied again, I felt pressured whenever I did this with Shawn.

" Okay, go up and rest, we will talk tomorrow," he instructed.

I headed up not to rest but to speak with Gerald.

"I have something to tell you, sir." I began.

" Go ahead, dear,"

" I will leave this mansion, I want to live on my own, I am thankful for everything you did for me." I

tested him with saying these words.

"Why so suddenly?"

" I do not wish to stay here anymore nor do I wish to marry your son." I pointed out.

" You are so obnoxious, do you know that?"

I was taken aback by what he said, his tone changed as if he was trying to intimidate me.

" I am sorry and thanks again for everything," I repeated.

I opened the door to take my leave but was surprised with two bodyguards guarding the door and

blocking my way, I closed the door again and turned around to face Gerald.

" Do you perhaps know a man called Sergio?" I asked trying to bait him into thinking that I am already

aware that his brother was one hundred percent the one who used to communicate with mom.

" Indigo? Why do you ask?"

" I saw his car in the garage, I am pretty sure that he is the one who sent mom money from time to

time." I continued.

" Why do you think he gave your mom money for?"

" I think he is my father," I stated blatantly. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

" Are you saying that my brother had a mistress?"

I couldn't say 'Yes' to his question as I was too ashamed to admit it.

" You are playing dirty games, sir. Why else would you want to keep me here if not for him? I do not

want anything to do with this matter so please leave me alone." I stated bluntly raising my volume a bit.

" Do not raise your voice in my presence, playing dirty? You are such a courageous girl, I got to admit, I

have limits to my patience though and you should not cross them," he growled dangerously as he took

big steps my way.

" You will marry my son in two days so be prepared, I tried to act nice and make it occur naturally but

you are the one who wants to deal roughly with this."

" Judging from your behavior, it is not that you are trying to take care of your niece by letting her marry

your son, it is just that you want whatever that I got from Indigo's will to be yours. Am I right?"

"Right, now that you know about my intentions, let me tell you this. If you to play a little game of cat and

mouse with me, you will regret it deeply. You have no choice but to follow my orders and marry my son

silently or else I will kill all your acquaintances," he threatened as he pulled the mobile from my pocket.

" How cute!" he added as he deleted the voice note I was recording.

Shit, he isn't kidding about this... If I am remembering correctly, Indigo actually wished to have kids but

his wife's womb could not bear any babies, it was his wish in life... Everyone talked sweetly about him

and called him the most modest man on earth since he always ate with the workers in the staff room.

Would such a man be able to abandon his kid? Did he feel guilty about it after all these years so he

included my name in the will?

Would my mom really love a man who is cruel and cold? The answer is no, mom would have never

loved an arrogant rich man, she was never stupid to love a rich man who will not take care of her.

Indigo must have had a reason to not give his brother the company and I think that reason has

something to do with the will.
