ARNE'S POV

Ring... Ring... Ring...

"Cabral's" I pick the buzzing device.

"Mrs Cabral here" the other side of the phone reply. I knot brows in confusion.

Mrs Cabral? Well, I'm sure I wasn't married the last time I checked not unless I was drugged into.
I remain silent until I overcome my dumbness.

"Mom!" I exclaim cheerfully. It's been so long since we exchanged any words. I have been caught up with work then Feivel and the cherry on top was Jackson.

Sigh.

"Don't mom me, you dumbo" she spat anger radiating through her voice "How long do you think it's been since I heard a word from you? You rascal" she almost screams through the line that I have to drag the phone away.

"Mom, relax. I'm really sorry. I-I just caught up in... stuff" yeah stuff.

"I don't care what "stuff" it is. I want you back here for the weekend. Am I making myself clear?" She says making me groan.

"Maa not again" I verbally groan on the line. "You know I can't just come. I-I have a business to run, people to m-meet. Please understand" I nearly whisper my answer. I maybe twenty-two but she, being my mom, is the scariest woman when angered.

"And I said, I.don't.care. You are the owner of the place so shut it and be here for my wedding" she speaks.

"Mom you know I can-" I pause emphasising the words "wedding!?" I roar. "Y-your wedding?" I hear her giggle like any sixteen-year-old girl. "Oh my god! Finally, Stephan grew some pair of balls to propose you. Oh god! Congratulations mom"

After my father's death four years ago, mom has been the strongest pillar in the family. I, on one hand, was dealing with depression and my sister on the other was away from home. She was the one who took over the business and held it to the position and higher. She was there for me when I needed her the most. And then she met Stephan Andrews. Stephan was the company's lawyer. He helped mom through her hard time in managing the business. And eventually asked her out after a year. She reluctantly refused him 'cause she thought it was inappropriate to think about her own happiness which is bullshit. She needed him and we needed her to be happy. Stephan has been the stubborn man he is, never let go of her side and she ultimately gave in.

I'm happy that they are finally thinking of a future together.

"Hey! Don't swear. But, yeah he finally did grow some balls" we both laugh hysterically.

"I'm definitely coming then. I'll see you in a week maa" I say with a smile plastered to my face.

"We will be waiting for you"

I hang up with a giddy smile. She definitely deserved to be happy. She suffered enough all these years.

"You look all flowers. Your bastard of a boyfriend called?" Jackson spat walking into the kitchen.

I groan growing a headache again. I hate this. "Jackson, stop. Don't do it again"

"Don't do what? Don't say that he is your boyfriend or don't call him a bastard?"

"For heaven's sake, Jackson, he isn't my boyfriend" I growl the same words for the hundredth time since early morning.

He walks straight to me pushing me back as my body hit one of the cabinets. He holds my hands above my head and pins my body with his.
"So you sleep with anyone, anyone who isn't even your boyfriend? Great, I might get a chance too" I almost threw up at his words.
