Tangled Web of Love (On hold)

Contract of agreement

Chapter 7

 

"You're not going to him Amber and that's final."

Tristan couldn't believe what he was hearing, that bastard Christopher bought her father's company from her idiot of a brother so she would go running and begging for it back. Tristan was not having any of it. Although it was a bastard thing to do, it was smart. Alexander Christopher knew how much that company meant to Amber and he was using it as leverage over her.

"Tristan, I'm going. This is my father's company, the only thing we have left of him. Alex said if I agree to meet him he'll give me the company back. I have to go, please understand."

Amber pleaded with Tristan, she loved him but she couldn't let her father's company be taken away just because her brother was an idiot and her boyfriend was jealous. She was going to face Alex, she knew it was going to be hard, after all, that she did to him, but she had to do it for her mother.

She could see that Tristan was angry, but she couldn't let herself worry about that. Focusing her attention on getting dress, she pulled the zip up on her dress and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a frightened young woman looking back at her. Her reflection in the mirror almost made backed out of going, but she squared her shoulder and walked out of the room.

Tristan watched her, he notice the extra care she took getting dress and fixing her hair. He clenched his fist, he wanted to punch Alex in her face. If he thought that Tristan was going to give Amber up without a fight, he had another thing coming.

Tristan followed Amber out of the room, he still did not want her going anywhere near Alex. He would have bought back her father's company if he could. Heck, he was even willing to start up a new company for her, but she didn't want that. All she wanted was her father's company and she was the only one that Alex was willing to give it back to. Bastard!  

"Let me try talking to him one more time, maybe I will get him to sell it back to me."

"No Tristan, I don't want you spending your money, this is my problem, I have to sort it out my way. Besides, Alex said I'm the only one he'll deal with."

Amber grabbed her purse and ignored Tristan brooding against the wall. After making sure that she had everything that she needed, she turned to him.

"I promise I'll call you as soon as I get there and right after it's all over, okay?"

Tristan didn't like it, but he also know that he couldn't very well stop her from going. He stepped closer to her and pulled her to him.

"I'll be waiting."

With that, he kissed her awaiting lips then let her go. She smiled at him as she walked out the door.

Alex stood by the window of his home office and gazed out at the view. He watched his daughter played with the dog she begged him to get her. Her pink and yellow sun dress smeared with dirt from her rolling fit with the mutt. He smiled as he watched her fall over of the tenth time. She got up and wiped her hands on her already dirty dress. At the rate she was going, he would be buying dresses by the dozens each week.

He continued to enjoy the view of his daughter. He was angered by the fact that he missed five years of her life. If he hadn't found out about his her through Jessica's half-sister, he would have never known about her. He thanked god that the Murphy's were good people who loved and cared for her. They were upset and sad to see Emily go, but Alex knew he had to take her, she was his after all. He clenched his fist as he thought about Jessica. He swore to himself that she would never be able to see Emily ever again. His lawyers were already dealing with the proceedings.
