Best Mistake I've Ever Done

CHAPTER XV

Oh. It could be so nice.. growing old you.

Jennifer's POV

I want you to marry Marc Anthony.

My heart just dropped. I looked at my father in disbelief.

"No. I can't marry him! I love Harry. He's the only one I want to be married with."

"That's bullshit. He's an asshole just like Bradley!"

"No he's not! I will work harder. I will do everything to convince our clients to invest more. I will save our company"

"Our clients have pulled out their stocks. Were going bankcrupt Jennifer. and the only way to save our company is for you to marry Marc Anthony. You have no choice."

"You're wrong. I have a choice. I've always had a choice. All my life, there's nothing I do but to follow you! Your rules! I never wanted to worked in your company. But I obeyed you! Because I want you to be proud of me. I'm sorry.. but there's no way I'm gonna follow you this time".

"What the hell are you saying? When I say you marry Marc, You'll marry him. We'll be flying to Puerto Rico next week"

"I can't let you control me anymore, I'm not going anywhere with you! I love Harry. More than anything. If you want dad, Why don't you divorce mom and marry Marc Anthony instead?"

I turned my back to him and walk away.

"Harry. Let's go home. C'mon."

"It's still early Jennifer. Were still chatting with our friends." My mom said.

"We really have to go. I'm sorry. May you all have a good night"

Harry and I exited the Hotel.

"Jen? Are you okay? Wait. Why are you crying?" He cupped my cheeks.

"My father wants me to marry Marc. Our company is going bankcrupt. And the only way to save it, is for me to marry Marc and have a partnership with the Muniz"

"What? Oh my god. I don't know what to say Jen." He looked down

"I said no. I choose to be with you Harry. I'll stay with you. No matter what"

"But.. Jen, What if choosing me is a huge mistake? I'm a gangster. My life is not always in a good slate. I don't think I can give you the life that you deserved."

"You already gave me the life that I deserved Harry. You make me live. For the first time. And if choosing you is a huge mistake, then It's probably the best mistake I've ever done"

He looked at me, tears streaming down his face.. he cupped my cheeks.

"I'll fight for you okay? I'll fight for us. I'll do everything to prove your father wrong. And as I promise I'll save enough money.. and quit the gang"

I hugged Harry tight.

"Let me live with you" he just smiled at me, and kissed me.

Were now at his house, or should I say OUR house now.

"So when will you move your stuffs Jen?"

"Tomorrow. I guess"

"What will happen to your house then?"

"I don't know. But I guess my father's gonna get that from me. Even my car, that's a gift from him. But I don't care. All that matters to me now is us"

I said smiling at Harry.

He lean closer to me. His fingers lingers on my shoulder up to my neck.
