I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Fifty Three

MORDECHAI LENETTI

I ignored all the stares as I made my way to the elevator. Only thing that my father told me over the phone was that he wanted to see me immediately and it better be alone.

There was something off about what he said making me think that he knew I was with someone last night. He also sounded pissed to the point that I thought I was talking to someone else.

The elevator came to a stop and I stepped out. The top floor was empty as I made my way to the office. I knocked before entering and saw my dad sitting drinking a glass of wine.

When he saw me he stood up and that's when I noticed his stern expression.

"Can you please explain to me why you're having an intimate relationship with your stripper assistant?"

I froze, staring at him as his words sank in. How did he even know that? I bit my bottom lip, already piecing it together, he knew about Vanessa's past, and somehow, about what happened between us.

His glare burned into me, and by now, if anger could produce smoke, he'd be in flames.

"How... did you find out about that?" I asked quietly.

I watched him take out some photos and handed them to me. I clenched my jaw as I looked at each photo. There was two from the first time Vanessa and I got heated in her office and the rest was from the lounge room.

"I want her fired and I don't want to see her back in this building. I've raised you better than this. There are so many beautiful woman out there who will make the best wife and you decided to date a damn stripper!" his voice was laced with venom as he glared at me.

"Dad stop. So what if she had a messed up past? I don't see her as the woman she was back then. I only see her as strong and independent and I want her. Is it a crime? I'm sure that if I marry her it's nobody's business," I replied throwing the photos on the desk.

I knew he wouldn't take this lightly but he was going too far. He can't possibly be judging Vanessa based off her past. Just like me, he hated when someone challenged him but I was his son and this was about my life.

The door was pushed open and my mom walked in. I groaned not expecting to see her right now.

"Your father called me and told me everything. I'm sure you're not considering marrying Vanessa Mordechai. You know why I hired her in the first place and her contract is almost up. Speaking of which, I'm going to give her a call and terminate the contract. That way there will be no holding her back to leave the city which she wanted in the first place," she stated, crossing her arms.

My mind was in a whirlwind of emotions.

"I don't understand why you both are so against Vanessa and I," I said looking beteeen the both of them. I just wanted to leave and go back into the arms of the woman I wanted.

"We're not against you Chai. We are against her. She's just not the one. You may think she is or believe she is but she's not. Let her go, someone else will come along " my mom said as I stared at her.

I was more focused on the small bruise that was on her neck. I knew there was something going on but all will be revealed in due time.
