Is This Destiny? 2- Part 53

I stared at him for a split second before looking down on my food. 'Is everything okay, sir?' I mumbled. I could feel my heart beating rapidly as he said, 'Look, Ariana. I'm going to get straight to the point.' I slowly looked at him. 'I really don't like you for my son.' He said, 'He's getting married to Bella!' I took a deep breath and carried on listening. 'How much money do you want?' He took out his cheque book, 'Tell me how much you want, just please never show your face again. With this money you can sort your life out! You can give your family a life they deserve!' I stared at him for a moment. All these thoughts exploding in my mind. With his money, I could actually get my sisters new clothes. We wouldn't have problems with money and my mum probably won't drink anymore. And lastly, I could finally get my dream job! I could get new equipment that will allow me to become a professional photographer. I bit my lip as I mumbled, 'A million pounds.' He smiled at me before writing it down on the paper. After ripping it out from his cheque book, he placed it on the table. I gazed at him for a few seconds before slowly pulling the paper closer to me. He grinned at me, 'So, Ariana. Have a nice life.' 'Sorry, but no!' I wripped the piece of paper in half and chucked it on the floor before shouting, 'I'm not that low! Yes I need money! Yes I'm not as fortunate as you but I love my life. Everything may not be perfect but I love it just the way it is.' I lowered my voice, 'And lastly, I love Ethan so much! I can't possibly not see him again.' 'Are you really that selfish? You could have gotten a million pounds for your family yet you're choosing Ethan instead?' He snapped back. 'I'm not being selfish, what I'm saying is that I'm not a thick-skinned trashy girl like what you're thinking. I don't need money just to have a perfect life.' 'Well I think you're pathetic! You're bad influence to Ethan!' He spat at me. I quickly got up from the chair and walked away from him, 'You're entitled to your opinion but there is nothing and I mean nothing, that will make me leave Ethan, EVER! Remember that!' I ran off as I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. I heard him shout, 'One day, I'm going to prove you wrong!'
