Marquis POV
Becoming the CEO of a multi million dollar corporation has always been my dream. But now that I'm getting ready to take this position my mom, dad, and the press not letting me live. All of a sudden things I've done for years are unacceptable. This includes being single, living in my studio apartment, and going out in public whenever I want. Now I feel like I'm no longer in control of my life anymore.
The first thing on the agenda is finding a fake wife. I have to get married for my image. I cannot believe my own mother is forcing me into this. My father as always, is absent in this. He lets her do everything and he just signs the checks. I guess he calls it a perk that comes with the lifestyle, but I always wanted more from him. More fatherhood, more attention and more time. But the company comes first, always. It's all about legacy to him. Leaving a legacy for our future generations he always says. But what happens when the future is full of wealth but no guidance and wisdom to use it? For that reason I wanna be smarter and better than my father.
"Marquis are you listening?" My mom asked as I twirled my glass around in circles. I stared at the whiskey in my glass. I look up at my mother and she looked stressed because I was obviously ignoring her. Then my eyes connect with the woman who is supposed to find me a so called wife. She was a madam and I couldn't even fathom how my mother knew this woman. She's been rich all her life and I never saw her talk to anyone that wasn't in our tax bracket. So how the fuck does she know this woman?
"Excuse me darling, could you give me and my son a moment?" I hear my mom say and my heart jumps in happiness. She finally understood she was wrong and we can leave. But as I made a move to stand my mom motioned me to sit down. The lady leaves the room and my mom scoots close to me and grabs my hands.
"Marquis do you know how long we have been waiting for this moment?Your father and I have been preparing you for this moment since you were a child. You know that right?" She asked me and I sighed pulling my hands back but she dug her nails in my hand and I flinched. My mother will always have power over me and she knows it. But I trust her..just not completely.
