I'm Yours

Ophelia

I was working on some case when I got a call from my grandfather.

"Hey Lia, good morning."I heard his voice through the phone
"Hi Papa. Good morning to you. So what's the reason I was graced with your call?" I ask papa teasingly with a smile on my face.

"Well I was hoping you would meet me before dinner I need to talk about something important" he said

"Yea sure I'll come early, do you need help in something papa?" I asked with a concerned voice

"Don't worry, we will talk when we meet. So how was Mr John's trail?"he asked me

"Oh it was great, I won." I told him happily.
"I knew it, afterall your my granddaughter " he said
We both Chuckled
"You better be on time for dinner. Tell Lena and keep or you will definitely forget about us because of your work." He said in fake sadness

"Of course papa. I won't forget about you . I'll see you tonight byee" I said

"Bye Lia" he said and cut the phone

I was going to call lena to come in when she came in on her own.

"You were listening weren't you."I stated .
" Ofcourse not" she replied with a mischievous smile

I shook my head at her
" Remind me later that I have to leave for dinner or mum will get angry at me" I told her

"Ok, anything else?" She asked
"A coffee?" I asked hopefully knowing she won't get it
"Sure, you see there, that is called a kitchen, you can completely make it on your own. I have never made you coffee nor will I start now" she said with a smirk and went to sit on her desk

"It was worth the try" I mumbled

Lena was my secretary from the time I opened this firm. She knows me better than I know my self.

"Shouldn't you be celebrating your win" I heard the voice of my partner Caleb.

"Too early to be drinking don't you think" I said with a teasing smile.

"But never too early to celebrate" he said while going to my liquor collection
" Pour me a glass too " I told him.

As the day went on it was time I had to get ready to go for dinner.

I was getting ready to leave the office Lena entered with a wine bottle.
"As much as I would love drinking with you, you know I have to leave for dinner"I told her with a raised eyebrow.
"I would love to drink this wine with you too but these are for your parents. You can't go empty handed." She said

"Thank you, your my lifesaver"I told her.
"Well it's my job,have a good night Ophelia". She said
"You too Lena "I said and left the office.

I went home and got ready for dinner. The only thing on my mind was what papa wanted to talk about.

I took the wine bottle and left to go to dad's house for dinner.

I reached in sometime, I parked my car and went in. Our house maid was waiting for me at the door, I greeted her and she told me to go to dad's office where papa was waiting for me.

I knocked and entered the office.
"Hey papa" I said and went to hug him
"Lia. Good to see you" he said hugging back.

"What did u wanted to talk about?" I asked him.
"Take a seat first ." I sat

"Lia you know I'm getting old and your almost 28 years. It is my wish to get to meet my first great grandchild. I have an arranged a marriage for you". He told me .
" WHAT" I  shouted in shock.

"Please, it's my friend's son, he's a really nice guy, at least consider it" he said

"But papa I don't want to get married right and especially to a guy I don't know " I told him

"Lia, we both are not getting any younger" he said

I signed in defeat. I couldn't stand the look of sadness on Papa's face.

"Who's the guy?" I asked him

"Damien Black " he said

I know who papa is talking about. I can't believe he is making me marry this guy. He is known to be cold, I heard he fired 2 of his employees the day they were hired because they did something wrong.

But even though he is cold and ruthless when it comes to business ,girls still want to be with him. I don't blame them he does look like sex on a stick in those suits he wears.

"He already said yes" Papa's voice got me out of my thoughts.
"He might coordinate with you tomorrow, your number is given to him . And Lia ?" Papa said.

"Yea" I replied
"Thank you for doing this" he said with a soft smile.

I returned the smile to him and we went down together. I went to the garden to get some fresh air.

I was sitting on a bench when I heard footsteps from behind approaching me.

"Hey pumpkin" my dad said while taking a seat besides me wrapping his arms around me.

"Hey dad, how are you." I said as I snuggled close to him.
" I'm good, congratulations on saving that man's life." He said.

"Thank you " I replied back

" I tried pumpkin, to convince your grandfather to wait few years for you to get married but you know how that old man is. Always gets his way." Dad said with a slight smile on his face.

"It's fine dad, I know you tried your best. I just don't know what kind of man Damien is." I confessed.

"Even I don't know but I know one thing for sure that if he ever hurts my little girl I won't let him forget it and will torture him." He said

I chuckled." Torture him? Don't you that's too much" I asked him
" Nothing is ever too much when it comes to you pumpkin." He said with a smile kissing my forehead.

"Come now, we will get late for dinner and you know your mom and my mom's temper is, they may not give us food if we go in late" dad said with a shudder.

I laughed and we both went in for dinner.

We had a good family time. But Damien was still roaming in th back of my mind.

Let's see what's in account for me tomorrow.
