I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Forty Eight

MORDECHAI LENETTI

I knew there was more to this than what my dad told me. He wouldn't give me any details on what type of meeting we were having in Paris. Something told me I was in for a suprise and not a very good one. We were currently seated on the private jet but he was occupied talking with the air hostess.

I sat on the left closest to the window. I've been wrapped up in my thoughts all week. I knew what I wanted and I knew the risk associated with what I wanted. It was such a dangerous feeling falling for someone who you least expected. But Vanessa captivated me in more ways than one. She was unique and it was her that I wanted.

Last night I laid awake for a few hours just thinking of everything. Especially the woman who I had fallen for. Never had I thought that I would because we were just two different persons and at first she felt lower than me. But there was more to her than what met the eyes and I figured her out.

"What's on your mind son?", my dad ask as he took the seat on the opposite side. He honestly didn't know that what he told me was stressing me out. I wanted to make him happy but at the same time my happiness matters as well. I didn't want him to lose all his memory without seeing his dreams being accomplished but I don't want to get married to someone I don't love.

"Nothing much", I replied but he only smiled. My father could read me like a book and he knew when something wasn't ok and alot was on my mind.

"You know son, I didn't marry your mom because I loved her. I married to her because of my business and what my father wanted. When she got pregnant with you, I felt like I had accomplished what my father wanted and even though your mom wasn't happy with me, we eventually fell in love. You don't have to love a person at the same time, things take time and alot", he said as I looked at him.

My parents relationship was complicated as is and mom wasn't around much either. They were together at business times but otherwise they looked like strangers. Over the years things changed and feelings disappear. It didn't have to be said, it was all too clear.

"All I'm saying is that I want you to do this for me son, this is all I ask. I don't have much time left and I want to know this business that I invested so much in will be here for a long time. I want to see that happen. For once, think about this as the future of the business and not about what you need".

With that he got up and went back to where he was. I groaned as I relaxed back in my seat. I was angered over this situation and these expectations but I knew they were coming. I knew one day the choice to do what I wanted wouldn't be mine anymore. I was the only son eligible enough to take over this buisness so I had no choice.

My mind ran on Vanessa and instantly the stress subsided. I wanted to see her again, touch her, kiss her. Everything. I didn't know how long I would be in Paris for but I wasn't planning on staying long. I just wanted this meeting to come so I could see what my father had planned.

I knew something was up.

And it wasn't pleasant.

I followed after my father into the main building. The meeting was being held at the top floor so we went towards the elevator. I didn't know what to expect but I already knew there was more than just a regular meeting. My father hummed quietly as his hands went in his pockets. I stood on the opposite side with many thoughts still clouding my mind.

I felt my phone vibrating and I checked it to see a message from Tifanny. I groaned before placing back the phone in my pocket. I've never seen a woman so determined, she just won't give up.
