Chapter 3

They finally arrived at their destination, the driver looked for a good spot and he parked the car properly.

"We're here!." The driver informed her.

He got down from his seat and he walked over to her side.

"Here you go Miss." The driver said as he opened the door for her

"Thank you!." Kassady smiled and she walked out of the car, she didn't quite understood the kind of treatment she's receiving.

"Wow!." She exclaimed, as she looked around the environment.

There's a fountain water fall decorated with light strings by her right.

By her left was an artificial blue lake with light strings of different colors around it giving it the perfect look.

She was memerized by the beauty of the place which look like a large garden.

The light shines on the green plants and on the flowers reflecting to the protective glass making it beautiful, it's indeed a beautiful sight to behold.

She couldn't wait to send her bestfriend a picture of how beautiful the place looks.

She took out her phone from her purse and was about taking pictures of the environment.

All of a sudden someone bumped into her. and her phone fell down.

She didn't even get to see the person that bumped in on her, because they were so many people going in and out of the place.

She picked up her phone and simply walked into the guest lounge, she still wondered why the driver stoped her here instead of the other side of the building where she could hear the sounds of music.

She made to cross to the other end when she spotted her dad, together with some elders, they were actually sitting at a table beside her.

"Dad!." She called and she rushed to him.

"Thank goodness you're finally here." Mr Palo said.

"I'm sorry I came late." She apologized.

"Good evening ma'am."

"Good evening sir." She greeted both Mr Henry and Mrs Maras.

Mrs Maras smiled at her and Henry did same.

Mr Palo stood up to introduce his daughter to the Mark's.

"She's my daughter Kassady, the one I've always been telling you about." Mr Palo introduced.

"Kass, this is Mr and Mrs Henry." Mr Palo added and he sat down.

"Nice to meet you both." Kassady smiled, she's actually waiting for them to bring up the reason as to why she's here.

"Your daughter is indeed beautiful, she'll be a perfect match for my son." Mrs Maras said with a broad smile.

"Match!?." Kassady mentally questioned her.

She knew she couldn't speak up because her dad is beside her, and because she doesn't wanna loose a life time opportunity.

"Kass dear, do you know the main reason you're here?." Mr Palo asked.

She'd actually thought she knew, but it seems things are going differently.

"Of course I do!." She wanted to say sarcastically, but she didn't, this isn't the time to be rude, she wanted to know what's going on.

"What's actually going on?." She thought.

"Kassady dear." Mrs Mara's began to gain the attention of the young lady, who's obviously lost in thoughts.

Kassady heard her name and she sighed paying attention to whatever Mrs Maras is gonna say.

She thought maybe it's time to talk about business, which is the main reason why she came.

"You're to get married to my son." Mrs Maras stated.

"What!!, what do you mean by getting married?!!." Kassady half yelled.

She's literally tried to process what's going on, but it seems her brains left her.

"Yes to you're getting married." Mrs Maras simply replied.

"Am sorry ma'am, that's not the reason why I'm here, I mean I can't just marry your son." Kassady said.

"State your reason." Mr Henry stated.

"Ma'am, I thought this is actually about the document I signed for the collaboration of both companies.

"You're right dear, you can go through the document you sighed."

"Read carefully and then tell me what you see in there." Mrs Maras said with a broad smile, while handing over the file to Kassady.

All these while Mr Palo just kept his head down, pretending like he doesn't know what's going on.

Kassady, not wanting to believe what she heard, been really curious, she opened the file and her eyes immediately widened the minute she saw what she'd signed.

It now dawned on her that she agreed to get married to their son by signing the documents her Dad gave her yesterday at the office.

She regretted signing the document nonchalantly without reading it.

The file stated that after getting married to their som, in return they'll help her grow her Dad's company by boosting the company to the top 10 richest company in the whole of California.

"Dad... w what's this?." She stammered and she suddenly broke down. Mr Palo looked away, not wanting to see her teary face.

How'd she be getting married to a total stranger, someone she knows nothing about.

"I can't do it, I can't get married to a total stranger, someone I don't love!." Kassady said, trying to make them see reasons with her.

"It's for your own good baby girl. Mrs Maras stated.

"Who forces someone into getting married in this modern world." She thought and she scoffed.

"I don't want to get married to your son ma'am." Kassady said and she angrily stood up to leave.

"You're legally married to him already, we just need a wedding and your marriage is complete." Mr Henry stated after been quiet for a while.

"I said no!, I'm not going to marry your son, and that's final." Kassady stated with grits teeth's.

Mr Palo knew he did the wrong thing, but it's for her own good as well, so they won't loose their company.

"Just accept it please.." Mr Palo pleaded.

"No Dad, no!!." Kassady yelled.

"You can't do anything about it, you've already signed the contract." Mrs Maras said.

"Read the last paragraph." Mrs Maras said.

"I Kassady Luxander agrees to take Davies Mark as my lovely weeded husband." She reads and she screamed.

"No!!."
