Romancing Dominance [BL][COMPLETED]

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2 - Heir to Expectations

I was born for this. I was made for this.

This is my reflection on my ancestors' struggle to uphold our old money name.

You see, I come from a high-ranking lineage. My ancestors were filthy rich long before us. We've worn many faces in the business world. It was only when my father entered politics that our name became prominent in the public eye—the focus of attention and speculation.

My grandfather was granted the freedom to do whatever he wanted, and this privilege trickled down through generations—until mine.

How I wish I could have the same freedom to pursue the passion I've always had in life.

My father, the senator—in all his glory—molded me into who I am today. But he never once mentioned that I would have to marry under his mandate.

I hated him for it. And yet, I am who I am because he fully supported my transition. Perhaps, this is my true purpose revealed.

I am to be married.

On the brighter side, this will be a new experience for me—the mountains, the fresh air far away from the toxicity and noise of the city.

Honestly? I don't really know how to live this kind of lifestyle.

I was raised to be eloquent and effortlessly graceful.

Halatang halata namang hindi nababagay ang personality ko sa pagsasaka at sa pang-mahihirap na lugar.

I swear to hell, Dad's probably celebrating that I'm no longer in the mansion. Why doesn't he just get married again instead of meddling in my life?

Look at me now—ako na ang pinagtutuunan ng lahat ng atensyon ni Dad.

That old man is conniving—though I love him. I don't want him to be stressed.

I really want Dad to exit politics, which is why I said yes to his request—on one condition: that he won't run for re-election if I agree to marry the person he chooses for me.

Don't get me wrong—I love Dad and everything he's done to pamper and love me. But sometimes, Daddy can be too much.

Dad is my life's ultimate nagger. He wasn't around for most of my childhood. He was always busy with politics and the businesses he inherited.

He wasn't there for school events or milestones in my life. Not that there were many, at least from what I recall. Once, he forgot my graduation—it was just me and my nanny. The second time, in college, he remembered—but was abroad. He has never really been there for me.

And when he is home, we'd just argue over things that contradicted my lifestyle—and at times, my principles.

Take marriage, for example. He constantly reminds me to find someone to settle down with—kesyo all his friends already have grandchildren.

Hell no!

I don't like kids—much less a miniature version of myself! It's frustrating and I honestly hate the idea!

"Yeah, right—I hate the idea, but here I am, wandering off to this unknown place."

Looking at my surroundings, at this situation I'm stuck in?

Talagang pumayag ako!

Basta tungkol kay Dad, I do everything. He's all I've got, and I can't afford to lose him—even if he's still very much alive.
