FaceTime.

Adrian's POV

I waved through joyously, back into the chambers of my mansion. I felt an inner joy stir up from within, my heart danced happily, my face; beaming with smiles.

Sooner, I was gonna settle down with the girl my heart had always yearned for; the girl of my dreams, the mother of my unborn kids.

Honestly, I couldn't wait for that day to come. A day I'd always daydreamed. My joy knew no bound as I knew that the day was fast approaching.

First things first; I had to inform my parents. I needed their approval in every decision I chose to trail through. I was gonna get to them through my mum, though the old couples are always together, everywhere. Cute!

I walked in through the main door and shut the door behind me. I ensured I locked it before proceeding to my room. *sighs.

I went in for a quick shower just to freshen up. I had a busy day. I got out with my white towel wrapped at my waistline, then, my face towel hung over my neck.

From my wardrobe, I took out a black loose short and put on. I didn't bother checking for a shirt, I was used to sleeping with bare chest.

It wasn't too late to put a call on them, besides they go to bed late due to work. So, I put a call across to my mom on FaceTime app, known as a video call. It rang for few seconds and then, she finally picked.

I smiled. "Hi mom".

"Hi sweetie. How are you doing?", she asked.

"I'm all good, mom and you?", I asked.

"You can see it for yourself, son. I'm doing absolutely well. By the way, I was about calling before your call came through", she said.

"It's fine. Where's dad?", I asked.

"Er, he stepped out to get a glass of water. He'd be back shortly", she said. As much as I thought. I was surprised how he wasn't with her now.

"Okay mom. So, the reason I called-

"I'm all ears", she interrupted.

I took a deep breathe, then finally spoke up. "Actually, I'm ready to settle down", I said.

"Really?", two voices chorused. My dad had just stepped in. I could see the smiles that drew over their faces. They seemed excited.

"Yeah! Er, hi dad", I said, acknowledging his presence.

"Hey, my son. This is a very good news. Have we seen this lucky girl yet? Is she as sweet as your mom?", he asked. I could hear my mum giggle hard from behind.

"You've both seen her. It's Kendall, dad", I said.

The irritated look on their faces which gave a disapproving signal. I just remembered, they disliked Kendall from the first day they met her. They said lots of nasty stuffs about her attitude and all of that. It was mutual, she hated my parents too.

"I'm sorry but your dad and I can't be a part of this. You have to make a right choice for yourself, son", my mom said.

"I'm sorry too, but I guess I'm still sticking with my choice, mom. I know what's right for me. I can't marry any girl other than Kendall, she's carrying our baby now and we're gonna be married soon, with or without you and dad's approval. It's final".

"Son, listen to me. You can't and you won't marry that girl while we're still alive. Watch it, we'll do everything possible to stop this tragedy from taking place", she threatened.

I hung up the phone. They always pissed me off.

I decided not to tell Kendall so she won't feel bad. My parents will be mad at me if I go against their will but still, I have to. They don't understand yet what Kendall and I share as a couple.

I had to start making plans ahead. Nothing will ever be able to come between I and Kendall. This I promise myself. Our wedding is gonna be the best of all and I'll go at any cost to make her happy, not just temporarily, but till I take my last breath. 

Mom, once again, I'm sorry but I'm choiceless now. But don't worry, you'll come to love your future daughter-in-law sooner, I said to myself as I turned off my room lights. I drew my duvet over me and closed my eyes to sleep.
