1 CHAPTER I

William POV

I'm at my house here at Italy now, I'm staying here for the past 4 years because of my business here. I was having a nice morning until my parents invaded my house.

I moved out when I was 18 years old because I don't want them to say what should I do and shoud not do. I got pissed off because since I was young they always controlling me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked clearly annoyed.

"Is that how you greet your parents, young man?" My father asked back, I just rolled my eyes.

"When are going to be marry?" My mother asked, here we go again, they want me to get married as soon as possible but I still don't want to settle down.

"Mom, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't want to settle down yet?" I asked getting pissed off.

"You're not getting young." My mom answered.

"I know but still I don't want to." I replied.

"But we want a grandchild." She stated again that made my blood boiled.

"You already have one, my sister's kid." I stated at the matter-of-fact tone.

"But we want it from you." She said and the string of my patience cutted off, I slammed my hands on the table that made my mom flinched.

"Mom, Dad, when will you stop controlling me, huh? I already moved out from your house so don't think that you could control me because you won't anymore." I stated angrily and stormed outside my house to go to my bank.

I have something more important to do than bickering at them about me marrying someone. I stepped inside my car then started the engine.

When I reached where my bank is, I parked my car at my own parking space and got out from my car, I walked towards my building and I got in, the guards and some employers greeted me. I went to my office.

My phone rings and I saw my friends video calling, I know that they are together again, I really miss hanging out with them, yeah sounds girly but I truly do, I decided to answer the call maybe it can shoved my pissed away.

"Hey what's up?" I stated then wave at them.

"Hey when will you coming back? you still need to treat us you fucker." Chris said, I'm already looking forward to it, he just love foods.

"I won't be back there because I'm sure that you will going to make me poor by buying you a lot of foods, you bastard." I answered and he put his hand over his left chest and act like he was hurt.

"You hurt me, Will, I hate you." He said while wiping his fake tears.

"Yeah me too." I answered and we all laugh.

"So? you look pissed off, let us guess." Paul stated. "Your mom went to your house?" He added.

"With your father." Kyle said.

"They want you to find a woman." Jaypee said.

"And to be married." Kaiden stated.

"Asking you for a grandchild." Sean stated, then I sighed.

"You all right, I'm getting pissed off because they always wants me to settle down." I said brushing my hand through my hair.

"Stop brushing your hand to your hair, it doesn't make you look good." Chris said, he always teased us all.

"You're just annoyed that I won't buy you food when I get back." I fireback.

"But why don't you find someone to pretend that you're fiancé to shut their mouth." Sean suggested.

"Yeah, you're right." Paul agreed.

"Okay, but where?" I asked.

"Maybe here in Philippines, you idiot, of course there in Italy." Kyle answered and rolled his eyes.

"I know, you fuckers." I stated.

"Anyway, when will you really go back?" Darsh asked.

"I still don't know, I still have something to do here." I answered.

"If you got back here, throw a party and we will be there." Darsh stated then smirked.

"I will surely be there." Chris said while raising his hand.

"Of course, you will." I said then rolled my eyes.

We continue to talk for a while until my secretary came in, saying that Mr. Ford is here, I bid my goodbye to them and end the video call.

"Let him in." I answered.

"Yes, Sir." My secretary, Tessa, replied and about a minute Mr. Ford stepped in.

"Good morning, Mr. Riles." Mr. Ford greeted.

"Good morning to you too, Mr. Ford." I greeted back then we shakehands. I motioned him to sit so we can start to discuss what he wants.

"So? What brings you here?" I asked placing my elbow on top of my desk and I put my chin on the back of my hand.

"You know what I'm here for." He answered smirking.

I really do know why he is here, he wants a partnership with me to use my name, because he wants to build some branches at Philippines but they don't let him, because of illegal things he did before.

"I thought I already gave you my answer on that." I stated, it's true that I already did, but in his narrow mind he thinks that I don't.

"But it's not the answer that I want to hear." He replied back and I smile dangerously.

"Well, in this industry you won't always get want you want." I replied.

"I can get what I want if you will agree to my partnership." He stated, which is true.

"Okay, give me a one reason for me to agree to your offer." I said and it seems like it lights his world, his smile full of hope.

"I want to make a partnership with you, so I can build a branch of my company in Philip----" He stated but I cutted him.

"Stop, I won't make partnership with you, you can go now." I said then stand up ready to shove him away but he stop me.

"Why don't you agree to me!?" He asked angrily, I won't lose my cool just because of you, idiot.

"Because you fucking did something illegal back then and I won't let you build your fucking company on the land that I was born." I answered calm but inside I want to rip his throat. "Now, you had my answer you can leave now." I added and point at the door.

He stepped out angrily and slammed my door. I sighed and was about to sat down when I heard a shout outside. I stepped out fron my office to know what's the matter when I saw the guards dragging a beautiful girl out of the building. She has a tears flowing on her cheeks but she still look gorgeous.
