Aldemar Denreich Richards - Alden Richards "Dad! Is there any other way?! Why me? Why not the lawyers? Why not the accountants? The book keepers? WHY ME?!" My voice echoed in the library where I and my parents are talking. I don't understand. I know our businesses are booming and we are at the top of the 10 growing strong business here in the Philippines. Why do we need a merger? "Aldemar Denreich!" My father yelled across the large desk the separates us. My mother stood up as she held his arm and motioned him to calm down. Whatever magic my mom possesses, she needs to use it - NOW. Maisie Daine Mendoza - Maine Mendoza "But Tatay...." The only words that came out of my mouth. "Maisie Daine!" My father's voice echoed throughout the library as he snarled at me. I can't stand it when my dad acts like this. How many times that he has to do this to me, and every single time, it failed. "Dad, how many times are you going to do this before you realize that I am your daughter not a peace offering or a merchandise. This is not funny anymore. It's not even cute." I snarled back at him. Don't get me wrong, I love my Dad, but there's just this moments like this that I despise to be his daughter or maybe pushing it hard, I wish I wasn't his daughter. 💖 ~ Ms J ~ 💖 Arranged Marriage: Destined?
