The Heirs

Truth or lies

Cinthia's POV
      I've never felt more disgusted with anyone as I was with Claire,I am such a fool for believing that she could be anything but good but in reality, she's this unpredictable witch who can't seem to allow me to live in peace.

     "Don't you owe me an explanation", said my dad as he hit the tabloid on the desk while I flinched looking at my feet.

     "It just happened ,I couldn't stop it",I said before looking up to meet his fury eyes.

    "Cinthia,you know you can't afford this bad publicity not after all that has happened to you", said Tyler making his presence in the room known while the rest of my family members were seated in the room .

     It was like a family gathering except the main course of discussion today was me ,the news on the tabloid seemed to show what happened at the restaurant with Adrian and I and it wasn't so good.

     "How could you mess this up", said my dad angrily.

    Last time I checked I was doing this whole family a favor by agreeing to marry Adrian.

        "She just had to show her  bad mannerisms not caring who gets to face the consequences", said Priscilla glaring at me.

     "Cinthia what caused the fight",asked my mum rubbing her forehead with her right hand before looking at me.

     "It wasn't entirely my fault, Adrian was also responsible",I said looking at my dad.

     "Enough with the blame passing, Cinthia you will sulk it up like the good girl you are and apologize to Adrian,we can't afford anything going wrong with the wedding you know we all need this", said my dad calmly as he looked at the tabloid again.

     "I can't believe I'm marrying a man I don't love just because of money ",I said looking at the rest of my family before a knock was heard and a person's head stucked in - Adrian

      Adrian's POV.
Arriving at home,I went to my room just to be greeted by my parents waiting for me ,oh did I mention Adrianna was there so that means you know that I wasn't getting out of whatever it is they found so important to tell me easily.

          "Hi",I gulped down as I tried hard not to show that I was very intimidated by this impromptu gathering.

       "Will you explain why  you deem it fit to publicise your relationship with Cinthia,how come you are disgracing our families", said my dad angrily as he threw the tabloid at my feet .

      Isn't that the same man who was so weak the other day ,where did he get so much energy to scold me, Adrian why are you lying to yourself after all he has never been pleased by whatever it is you do .

       "Are you not going to say anything",asked my dad as he ran his hands through his hair glaring at me.

    "Dad,I just don't want to get married especially not to a woman I know nothing about, I don't even love her",

      "Well in that case, you will get to know her ,take her out tonight for dinner and make sure you show the world how madly  in love you are with Cinthia,I can't afford your immaturity ruin the company I had worked so hard for,so Adrian get yourself awaken cos that girl right there is the only woman you will marry and definitely not Claire", said my dad with so much authority as I couldn't help but to bury my rage as I clenched and unclenched my fist.

      "I hope you do the right thing son because if you don't I will make sure you do because as the Anderson we are "he dusted an unknown dust off my shoulders before looking into my eyes.
