Metamorphosed

chapter 3

Delilah's POV:

I looked at my father for answers as to why are they here. My father cleared his throat and said "The Adler corporation and the Huss corporations will work together. They will be the main shareholder of our company".

I am shocked, the Hoffman corporation is going to be the main shareholder, but why did they decide this suddenly. With that thought, I nodded my head with an appreciation for this matter. My father continued talking about this merger when I felt someone's eyes burning holes on the side of my face.

I looked up from my father to see Mr. Ezra staring at me the intensity of his green eyes sent chills down my spine, I tried to listen to what my father was saying after breaking my eye contact with Mr. Ezra.

"As the companies are merging Delilah, we decided you and Ezra should get married," said my father. My eyes widened and I couldn't breathe w-what? "You and Ezra are getting married in two weeks" my dad's voice clearly said that I don't have a choice than to agree.

I turned towards my mother and pleaded her with my eyes, her eyes glossed with tears. There is no use pleading with her they are not asking me; they are just letting me know of their decision and I don't bother looking at my brother.

Taking a shaky breath, I asked " Can I have a little ttt-time to think?".

"Sure, darling you can take all the time you want; I know we dropped this big thing on you, don't worry dear you are like a daughter to us," said Mrs. Huss.

Mr. Huss also agreed by nodding his head.

"Thank you, Mrs. Huss'' I said. "Please call me Sara dear" I nodded my head at her and looked at her son who is sitting with a blank look on his face. Is he okay with us getting married? I don't understand anything.

My head is starting to ache, I cleared my throat "I am very tired I'll just get to my room now, excuse me " I said and stood up and walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. I closed the door tears started pouring out of my eyes.

I don't understand why was I born? if I don't get to decide anything in my life, I am tired of living this life. The pain in my chest is so strong, the only thing I can do is hug my pillow and cry.

I let out a choked sob and thought of what to do............ This time I didn't do anything different from other times.

Ezra's POV:

I was sitting inside Adler's mansion when this girl enters the house wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans yet she was gorgeous with her brown hair tied into a ponytail, her blue eyes like an ocean there was no emotion in her eyes, yet they carried a warmth in them.

Her face was masked with confusion when she saw us when her father was explaining about the merge of two companies. She looked at me then only I realized that I have been staring at her. Her eyes, WOW I am mesmerized by the color of it, she was looking at me with a hard expression on her face.

"As the companies are merging Delilah, we decided that you and Ezra should get married," said her dad. The shock on her face and with glossed eyes she asked w-what? Then her father gave her a look and told her we both are getting married in two weeks. she gulped and turned towards her mother who didn't say anything. Her father's tone didn't go unnoticed by me.

I feel so sorry for this girl she was thrown into this like, all for fucking money. I hate this but I can't do anything about it. I clenched my fist so that I won't shout at all of them. I came out of my trance when she asked for little time to think with her soft voice to which my parents agreed and comforted her.

Then she left the living room saying she was tired but before walking she gave me a blank look her eyes were blank without any emotions. If I can stop this marriage anyway, I'll stop but it can't be, because if I want to continue to be the CEO of Huss corp. I need to get married to this girl.

I have worked so hard in getting this company to this level, I will not let it to go waste. If I have to marry this girl for my company I will. When my father broke this deal to me, I was upset because the thought of marriage and settling down was terrifying, but no other go than to accept it.

I'll just have to wait and see what life has got for me
