Chapter 1

Ashton ran out of the house in anger " I seriously can't believe you Vanessa" He shouted at the young lady following him" Baby calm down okay we can talk about this " She said in a tiny voice " Talk about what?! There's nothing to talk about! You know what? it's over between us! I'm done! " He shouted and was about to leave when she stopped him " Are you sure you want to do this? "

" What the f**k are you talking about? "

" You have two options now Ashton, one: we can go inside talk and everything will be fine and go back to normal, Two: break up with me and I'll call my dad and tell him to fire you from his company " She said a victorious smirk plastered on her face " The choice is yours my love " Ashton tsked " You're so stupid Vanessa you know what? I quit! I'll submit my resignation letter to your dad first thing tomorrow morning! " He said and walked away

" I'll be coming for the car and the keys to the apartment! " She shouted to get his attention " Fuck you!! " He replied.

Alex stared back at her uncle with the same anger burning in both their eyes. The older man sighed and rubbed his eye brows in frustration " Look Alex i know you think we're just trying to take your dad's company away from you but no, all the family is saying is you have to find a husband soon else we'll have to take the company away it's just a way of protecting your dad's assets" Alex rolled her eyes " That's so old school uncle Fred I can take care of the company on my own and.... " She was Interrupted by her secretary Evelyn walking into the office " Miss Alex?... Oh I'm sorry " She started retreating when Alex stopped her " Wait Evelyn what is it? "

" Ummm your 9 o'clock appointment with the investment company was cancelled "

"What!? Why? "She asked " They didn't give us any reason and also the account manager just quite "

Alex turned to look at her uncle and he shook his head in disappointment " You see Alex you can't take care of this company all by yourself"

" I can do it uncle Fred " She pleaded " You're just to naive Alex I mean you have a child with a guy you barely know! And now he's nowhere to be found"

" Leave Amy out of this uncle FredFred! It's not her fault her dad is an idiot! "

"Look I don't care about Amy or her idiot dad I'm only here to tell you that if you don't find a husband in a month we'll take the company away" He said and walked out of the office slamming the door behind him.
