Chapter 34

4 years later

"It's settled Emerald." My father calmly said. I was flaming in anger. "I said I won't fucking do it" I screamed standing up making the chair fall down.

"Language Emerald. I'm your father and you'll do as I say" he angrily said while slamming his fist onto his desk.

I threw his pen holder into the wall in anger, it fell to the floor in pieces. "Why do I have to pay for your mistakes?" I screamed at him with so much anger and hatred.

Don't get me wrong, I still love my father but I slowly started disliking him ever since he started gambling. The worst part is, he isnt the only one who got addicted, but Uncle Marcus as well.

We've lost millions within 2 years but my siblings, Kim's siblings , Kim and I somehow always get to convince the clients to come back.

But in this case we couldn't. We've lost our biggest partner and we are losing millions again but there was no way of saving the two companies, besides of two things but I'll go to hell first before it happens.

"Your manners are lacking Emerald. Behave. You have no say in this." He angrily said while picking up the shattered pieces. My breathing was heavy.

"Then fucking watch" I angrily said and started walking out of the room but got interrupted by my father. "I'll take the millions that you saved up for your future family and your nephews and niece" he calmly said. He was probably smirking.

And how the hell did he know I saved up money for my future children and my nephews and niece. "Are you blackmailing me?" I dangerously asked turning around slowly. "Take it. I don't fucking care" i whispered while gritting my teeth.

But honestly though, I do care. What if we lose the company and something happens to my family? What if we suddenly need money for surgery or something?

"I know how much you love your siblings children. I will destroy their lives if you don't agree" he wickedly grinned and my eyes widened. What happened to my loving father?

"You would do that to your own grandchildren?" I asked in disbelief. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." He chuckled while putting his feet onto the desk. "Even if it means destroying four lives of your own flesh and blood?" I whispered.

He just shrugged and kept on grinning. Looking at the man in front of me made me realise that I lost my father 3 years ago. He might be alive and standing but there is no sign of my father in him.

"I won't hesitate Emerald. It's millions of euros if not even billions of euros we are talking about. And the only thing they want are your and Kim's freedom. Is that really much to ask?" He asked as if losing your freedom is as easy as taking a walk.

"I'd rather lose every penny than lose my freedom" I angrily said my hands curling into fists. "Then be ready my darling. No school will allow my little grandchildren in anymore" he again laughed evilly.

"Fuck you" I angrily said and he chuckled again while standing up. "So is that a yes?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "I'm not doing this for you but for my loved ones. Unlike you, I care about my family." I said while clenching my teeth.

"It's settled then, tonight is the ball make sure you arrive there in time and you'll be introduced as his fiancée" he said happily and sat back into his chair.

Without answering I left the room and slammed the door close. The tears that I didn't even know was there, escaped my eyes.

I'm only fucking 21. I'm not ready to marry especially to someone I hate the most. Fred Hail is the one I'm being forced to marry. Heir of Hail & Co, one of the biggest companies in the business industry.
