Kate''s POV
Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
I''m leaving.
I can''t take this anymore.
6 hours earlier
"I can''t marry him mom" I pleaded, "Please tell Dad, I can''t"
"There is nothing I can do about it my child, please try to understand" my mom pleaded back. "Please
understand you are doing this for me and your father, without this our business will go bankrupt"
Wow, just wow.
"So you are willing to sell your daughter''s happiness for the sess of your business"
"Kat---"
"Don''t Kate me, you even have the audacity to shamelessly tell me that" Iughed bitterly.
"You will not speak to me like that youngdy, your father and I are doing this for you---"
"How is this for me, I didn''t expect this from you mom, I didn''t"
"That''s enough youngdy" came my dad''s booming voice.
I looked towards the door of my room and saw hime in. He was always like that, always able to
direct people''s attention to him whenever he wanted. He was never really a father to me now hees
to interfere with my life asking me to get married to a man I don''t love.
"Dad---"
"You will do as I say youngdy or consider yourself disowned."
"What!" I screamed.
"What!" This came from my mom.
"You can''t mean that Dad." Even though he wasn''t a good dad didn''t mean I didn''t love him.
"Well I am not joking, now seeing as you are ready toply I suggest to go get ready for your date
with Aiden."
I was livid.
Aiden Carlton, the sole heir to the Carlton fortune. As sexy as his name sounded he was the biggest
jerk known to mankind. He had the personality of a dog and an ego the size of Mount Everest. He
always made me feel so small. I suffered from depression for about two years. Yes, my Dad had been
pushing me to marry him for three years. But now because of my inability toply and now that his
company is on the verge of bankruptcy he wants the wedding to be as soon as possible. My Dad knew
about my depression caused by Aiden but never believed me because he was of the impression that I
was lying to get out of the rtionship with him. No way in hell was I going to marry him.
"You know what Dad, I have had enough. All my life I stood by the sidelines watching you take
decisions for me and I never said anything, like in fifth grade when you made me take P.E when I really
wanted to go to ballet ss, or in the 9th grade when you sent me off to boarding school because you
wanted me to be more refined ording to you standards, or since 12th grade when you always sent
me on dates with your friends sons because you wanted me to find the ideal son-inw for you, it
wasn''t even the ideal husband for me...."
"That''s enough youngdy"
"No it''s not enough I will continue talking for as long as I want to... you forgot about mepletely
since your business took off, I remember mum always telling me how much of a good father you were
always buying me things, but whe--- where is that father now," Iughed bitterly "Infact I don''t think he
ever existed. Sometimes I think I was just a.... YOU CAN''T EVEN ADDRESS ME BY MY CHILD OR
KATE" I screeched.
"It''s always fvucking youngdy" I said in a small voice.
"Dad, he made my life hell---"
I was interrupted by a deafening sound, of someone being pped, only that someone was me.
I was hit.
He hit me.
My supposed father hit me.
Even though it wasn''t the first time he did it, it still hurt knowing my father couldn''t even believe his own
daughter, he would rather believe an outsider.
"Harold!" my mom gasped.
"Don''t you dare speak like that about Aiden again, I don''t want to hear that stupid excuse you always
use as to why you can''t marry him, I gave you the best childhood one could ask for yet---"
"YOU KNOW WHAT SCREW YOU. SCREW YOU DAD, I AM DONE , DISOWN ME FOR ALL I CARE.
I don''t need you, Mom was the only one ever there for me so SCREW YOU".
"Kate," my mom said gently.
I know she never meant all the words she said, it was to please my father because he would obviously
have been listening in on our talk.
I internally scoffed, what else is new.
"I will call you when I settle down mom" I told her.
"And where do you think you are going, even if you do go where will you go" my ''father'' sneered.
"Anywhere as long as I am away from you and this stupid arrangement" I sneered back.
With onest lingering look at my father I walked out .
I am done.
So done.
