A/N: If some can make stories where Ruby is abusive then I see no reason why I can't make one where Jacques isn't much of a jackass but he will be kinda rude.

Y/N and Winter were putting away their gear until Winter received a message that instantly made her frown.

Y/N: I know that face. What is wrong?

Winter: It appears that my father wants me to visit.

Y/N: Let me get this right. You are dreading the visit?

Winter: I don't hate him per say but he does push the family to gain more influence. It has gained my family's last name a bad name as he has pushed profits over morales.

Y/N: Then make up an excuse.

Winter: No, no. I can't.

Y/N: Then go. I'll finish the mission report.

Winter: Thank you.

Winter leaves afterwards with Y/N having to finish the mission report. After finishing he goes to his home.

Y/N: Home sweet home.

Y/N then goes inside his house. This was not much compared to others in Atlas but he was one who did not need it. After all he lived on his own and was always gone. Going in Y/N went to freshen up.

Y/N: Ugh. Oh yeah I had to throw out all the food. (stomach growls)

Y/N opted to go to sleep has his tiredness did outweigh his hunger. Getting his cup of water he goes to sleep.

Winter POV

Winter: (thoughts) Okay. It's just a visit to your father. Who am I kidding it always ends in some sort of argument.

By now Winter arrived at what used to be her home. She opened the doors but what was off was how Klein was nowhere in sight. Winter walked to her father's office. She saw nothing, no servants or anything. This was the norm as the house was so big enough that it was to be expected. Arriving Winter enters without the bother to knock.

Winter: Jacques.

Jacques: Only call me by my surname under the public eye.

Winter: Okay father. Where is mother by the way? I have seen no trace of either mother or Klein.

Jacques: They aren't here. Something about visiting somewhere but didn't say where.

Winter: Let's get straight to the point. Why did you call me?

Jacques: I planned on marrying you over to a particular family. The deal will of course make cooperation much easier and once you do have a child. Well maybe a merge of companies.

Winter was both shocked and angry by what she heard. Her father basically called the first chance he got to plan on marrying her over.

Winter: This isn't medieval times where you can just give your daughter to marry someone!
I'm no longer a heiress of this company either and I made that perfectly clear once I did join the Atlas military!

Jacques: Ah yes. Your little career within the military. Though think about what it would do to the family.

Winter: We haven't been a family for years. When was the last time you took an interest in my life besides a plan on handing me over or remember my birthday? Besides I can't as I'm already married.

Those words froze the conversation with her father looking shocked and also Winter. She was unsure why she said that.

Jacques: Who is he?
