Playing With Fire ( BECKFREEN G!P)

Part 17

Two weeks until doomsday. I had a trouble breathing if I thought about it too much, but I could no longer push it to the back of my mind. It was going to come either way. I had no power to stop time, no matter how much I wished I could.

My parents came back from New York with the happy news of a merger with Chen Limited. The possibilities for the two companies were endless; we would exceed over a billion a year. They may as well have just set me in chains there and then, it was clear to see the final transaction would be my marriage to Alex, making the deal unbreakable.

Time was slipping away from me so fast and with the future I had ahead of me I took every second I could with Becky.

"Are you coming to the club tonight?" Becky asked as I lay wrapped up in her arms. I had gone straight from college to her. I didn't care what my parents said in the last two weeks. I wasn't wasting a single second with her.

"Of course," I smiled, drawing circles with my finger on her bare breast.

"I know we weren't going to talk about . . . the last day but . . " Becky was finding it difficult to get her words out. I turned to look into her eyes. My heart was bleeding as I watched tears come to her eyes. "I just wanted our last night to be special, so I will need you to meet me at the club at seven on that Saturday." I just nodded holding her closer as she wrapped her arms tighter around me.

I got home an hour later, just to show my face before I went out again.

"Freen," My mother called. "Can you come into the dining room please?" I rolled my eyes walking in to see Aro and Alex sat with my parents. This did not look good.

"Hello Sarocha," Aro greeted me standing up, kissing my hand. "You become more beautiful each time I see you."

"Thank you," I smiled as he held a chair out for me to sit on.

"Hello Freen," Alex smiled over the table.

"Well," My father began. "We just thought you would like to know its official. Chankimha and Chen Limited are now officially partners." he beamed, "Aro and I have just got back from the solicitors and we are all going out to celebrate."

My face fell. I knew I couldn't argue, not with Aro there. I couldn't embarrass my parents like that. They had taught me better than that.

"We are going to the new French restaurant, so you better get ready. It's such a shame Jane is away with your wife Aro, it would have been nice to have the whole family together."

"There will be plenty of time for that when you move to New York," Aro smiled. What the fuck? Move to New York. I hadn't been informed about this. I glared at my mother, trying to control my anger.

"I'm just going to get ready," I smiled through my teeth, rushing out of the dining room.

I raced up to my room, my tears falling fat and fast. As if it wasn't enough I couldn't be with Becky, now I would be miles away, without a single hope of ever seeing her again.

"Freen," my mother called, coming in to my room after I had my shower. I was putting my make up on as she sat on my bed. "You must have known it was coming darling. We only stayed in Florida because of that stupid college you wanted to go to. Your father has been itching to move to New York for years."

"Is this really just about father," I glared in the mirror.

"We are a little worried about you and this barwoman." My mother admitted. "We don't want you to jeopardize this merger."

"Is that what you are calling me and Alex these days," I spat.

"You see, this is the behaviour I am worried about. Before you got mixed up with that boy, you would have never spoken to me like that!"
