I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Thirty Two

MORDECHAI LENETTI

I ran a hand through my hair before releasing a exhaling deeply.

This was not happening.

I was so angry at my father. He had no right to decide my life for me. I have no intentions of getting married right now. I knew that this would happen and the men agreed along with it.

If I wasn't married by then end of the year, I will be removed from the heir position to the empire.

My dad had been talking about it for over a year now and I had my sights on it to manage and be the CEO of it.

But I didn't know things would go down like this. Married or not, I'm still capable of taking care of it and besides, a wife will only get in the way. Especially one that is either a gold digger or likes to challenge me.

I didn't even have a clue as to what my mom would say. She hasn't been around much for the past months either. It was suspicious but I never asked her anything about it, that was dad's job.

Matteo had been doing nothing more than drinking and partying. He was going to be the owner of a small casino my dad was building but not anymore. He wasn't responsible enough.

Dad handed it over to a close friend's son and that resulted in Matteo throwing a fit. I haven't seen him in weeks but I knew he was more than fine.

"Are you alright?" I heard Vanessa asked as she came up beside me.

I could recognize her voice from anywhere. It was soft yet a hint of confidence was laced in it everytime. She stared down at the people going to about their businesses from where we were.

"I'm fine," I lied.

I wanted to hear what she had to say after this. My mind went back to what happened this morning in the elevator. It was just my instinct that got the best of me.

I remembered how she was looking at me wanting to push away but she couldn't... and neither did I. If the elevator didn't stop, I had no idea how far we would've went.

I should've been able to resist easily. I wasn't attracted to her, she was not my type. Then why does she make me feel sort of pull, something that makes me shiver when I'm too close to her? It couldn't be lust or anything else for that matter.

It was impossible.

"Right, of course you are-

"-What's it to you Vanessa?" I asked cutting her off.

She stared at me for the longest time before sticking her tongue out to moist her plump lips. I turned away from her. She had an effect on me that evolved from nowhere.

I wanted it to stop. I needed it to stop.

"I don't know anything about you and your life but what I do know is that you are your own boss. You should be the one in control and not your father. I'm not trying to interfere with your business or anything... I'm just saying. If you don't want to get married you don't have to," she responded with a small shrug.

I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair tossing it all about. I couldn't go up against my father. I had to do what he asked whether I wanted to or not.
