No Reason But Us

Chapter 44 : It Was Perfect

That one rule that his daughter had to follow was not to fall in love with Munro's son, and yet, he witnessed it broken clear as day. He could feel his blood boiling and smoke coming out from his ears, especially when he watched how Oddey was playing with Gage's hair, then the young man took the girl's hand and kissed it, which made the Juliet blush.

"Oh, don't forget your two o'clock meeting with Mister..." Eva looked up and noticed that his attention was somewhere else. "Leon?" She then leaned to see what he was looking at. "Oh, my God."

Leon turned away and had a disturbed expression on his face. "Is that my daughter with Adrian's... son?"

"Calm down," the woman told him. This was what she was afraid of, and it was happening, but she had no idea what to do about it since it was already happening then and there.

The appalled CEO glanced at her with immediate doubts. "Do you know about this?"

"I..." Eva stammered.

"You do." Leon could tell from the woman's face that his suspicion was correct. He quickly turned to the door again and was about to get out to grab his daughter away from her boyfriend.

"Leon, don't!" The assistant managed to stop the distraught boss from doing something crazy and which was getting out of the car in the middle of a highway.

"Let me go!"

Luckily, the light turned green. "DRIVE!" she screamed to the driver, so he did, and the car began moving like it was a race.

Leon punched the door out of rage as they had to leave the scene. Since then, he did not utter anything until they got to the hotel.

Eventually, they got to the suite with the enraged father slamming the door open with Eva following him behind, ready to face his fury of confrontation. "She..." He huffed, then began pacing back and forth. "How could she do this to me?"

"Leon, please. I know you're angry, but..." Eva tried to calm down the situation so that he could hear her out.

"Odette lied to me! And you lied to me!" He snapped. "Not only that, she disobeyed me, and you KNEW ABOUT IT!"

"I'm sorry."

"That's all you have to say? Sorry?"

"Well, I'm sorry that you have to find out this way. It just... Happens."

"NO!" Leon shouted. "IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!! I WILL NOT ALLOW IT! How long has this been going on? Tell me!"

"It was before you told her about you and Adrian," Eva revealed. "But listen to me, that young man does not know that Odette is your daughter."

"I don't care about that now. I just want their relationship to END!"

"How? They're in love."

"If I had to drag her in the middle of the night and put her on an airplane back to Dubai, I would."

"Leon, that's too much," Eva scolded.

"I refuse to accept that boy to be involved with my daughter," Leon grunted.

"Well, we can't do anything about it now. I'll admit that what Odette is doing is wrong because she's lying to that young man's face to be with him, but you have no say in who she can or can't love."

"Maybe not, but I'm sure as hell can stop it."

The personal assistant could not believe what that man was saying. "What do you mean? What are you going to do?"

Leon didn't answer at first and gazed down blankly at his desk. "Whatever I can. Whatever I can to split them up."

Eva was getting scared of what he could do just to get what he wanted. So she dashed to him and held his face to look towards her. "Leon, I'm begging you to stay out of it."
