New Proposal

Ashley was doing some pushup exercise, with her two legs upwards and her hands on the floor, while she did the pushup repetitive, sweating profusely, as only two hands were on the floor bearing her body weight as she pushed up and count.

Ashley was still wearing only her white singlet, as she had removed her top and sweat-jacket, wearing only her bra and inner singlet with her black trouser.

Ashley stopped counting the pushup and dropped her legs down, as she heard the footsteps approaching her cage room door. And she went back to picked up a bottle water, as her legs chain couldn't allow her move faster nor ran. .

Ashley held the bottle water up to her lips, and drank from it, as her whole body was sweating from the vigorous exercise that she just did.

She heard the clicking sound of her cage room door, as she turned her back on them.

And as she turned to face them, she saw Aaron stood there opening the door, for his boss, and her father.

Dave eyes narrowed at her, as he saw her bossom fully exposed, while the white singlet clung to her chest like a skin due to the sweat.

Dave gulped and stepped in with Mr Dot, while Ashley ran to meet her father, as she was happy to saw him.

"Father!" Ashley exclaimed as she ran into her father's arms, not minding Dave presence, and she beamed like a little girl, as her father hugged her too, in a father-to-daughter hug

Ashley finally remove the bottle water from her mouth as she greeted, ""Good afternoon father."

"How you doing?" Mr Dot asked, as he examined gus first daughter, after pulling away from the hug and seeing her sweating.

Dave stood aside not interfering as he watch the daughter and father

"Am fine father, have missed you" Ashley said, as she saw Dave kept a strict face observing her

"What has really gotten into you Ashley to think you could come here and attack the CEO of black copper are you crazy?" Mr Dot questioned, as he finally scolded her, whom pouted her lips and glared at Dave as their eyes meet.

"Father, Have told you several times that I don't want to marry any man. I don't want this marriage but you refused to listen" Ashley said as she finally walked away to the two plastic chair in the room, and she sat in one, while her father walked to meet her and sat on the next opposite chair across to her.

Mr Dot sighed and stared around the place where his first daughter was locked up for some days, and he said,

"What if they had killed you or shot you in the spot?. Are you this stupid Ashley?. Didn't you think properly before coming here to carry out such silly agenda? Am highly disappointed in you Ashley, and this is not what I expected of you and your mother wouldn't be happy in heaven to see what her precious daughter become."

"Father.." Ashley frowned.

Ashley missed her mother and knew her mother unlike her younger sister, whom couldn't remembered their mother, as Jane was still a little baby when they lost their mom.

Dave saw the sad look on Ashley's face and he didn't like that, as he knew that look, having lost his own mother too. And was left alone with his stepmom and step-siblings.

Dave felt to comforted her, but he had to stood aside at a distance, to listened to them.

Mr Dot Kones sighed and turned to Dave, and he spoked, "Good to see you didn't hurt my daughter Dave."

Dave held a smug look, and he replied, "I will have to excuse you both now Uncle. As I have some other important things to catch-up with. I will see you later in the office, once you are thru with her."

Dave excused himself away from the room without waiting for Mr Dot replied. And Mr Dot Kones frowned, having heard Dave called him uncle again, to indicated, he wasn't interested in marrying his daughter.

Mr Dot turned to face Ashley, just after Dave left them, and Ashley asked him, "Father, how's Jane doing?."

"Jane is fine" Mr Dot replied, as he was still angry about what Ashley did. As Ashley could've been a dead person by now.

Seeing her father didn't wanted to said anything much, Ashley spoked, "Father, am not interested in this marriage. Just cancel it so I can leave here."

Mr Dot looked up to stare at Ashley, and he replied,

"What makes you think Dave is interested in marrying you either?. Or didn't you just heard him call me uncle now?."

"So cancel it father. Marriage isn't by force." Ashley retort

"It is and just keep shut" Mr Dot scolded.

"Do you know the gravity of what you just did? And yet you still have the gut to speak!" Mr Dot Kones thundered, while Ashley pouted her lips, like a little child and stared away from her father, as she stood up and walked away from the plastic chair.

"I don't like him father" Ashley finally said, even though she knew she lied. As Dave was handsome, and too hot and too good looking for a man. And she thought, {No! I cannot marry such type of a man.}

"You have to get married Ashley. To give me an heir" Mr Dot replied as he stood up too, while Ashley frowned, and she turned to stare at her father.

"But father, I don't want him. Maybe if you find another suitor for me, or someone else, then I can agree to marry."

"No! So you will go there and attack them too. Same way, you came here and attacked Dave" Mr Dot Kones retorted with a wave or his left hand, as he held his walking stick to his right hand to support his weight.

"I didn't attack him father. I didn't even got closer to him." Ashley replied with a deep frowned.

"Enough!" Mr Dot Kones walked away, to leave the room too, and he stopped.

"You leave me, with no other choice than to decide on this Ashley. As Dave as also refused to release you yet from his custody, or else I cancel the marriage, and I wouldn't" Mr Dot Kones spoked.

"Then cancel it father. I don't want to marry Dave" Ashley replied, with pleading eyes, as she stared at her father with fake tears eyes

Ashley didn't wanted to be married to a man. As she believed he would used her as a sex toy, and slept with her whenever he wanted. And Dave was to handsome, too light skinned and masculine for her liking.. No she cannot agree to marry Dave.

"Cancel it father!" Ashley begged. And Mr Dot Kones stared at her pleading eyes, as she looked so beautiful just like his late wife, and even more beautiful, as Ashley had bigger boobs and hips than her late mother.

Mr Dot couldn't understand why his daughter wanted all her natural endowment to go to waste, when lot of well to do men out there, were seek for her hand in marriage.

Mr Dot Kones sighed, knowing Ashley was ruthless, and he wouldn't fall for her teary scammed filled eyes, as he knew she didn't wanted to marry anyone.

"Fine, I will ask Dave to release you, but note am not going to cancel the marriage either." Mr Dot said, as he meet Ashley's intense gazed on him.

"You will have to agree to spend a month living with Dave first, to get to know him, before the marriage. And to see if you both can be compatible or not, before I cancel. Or you continue being his prisoner here" Mr Dot Kones said, with a serious face.

"FATHER!" Ashley exclaimed, as she screamed out in annoyance .

"No father, I cannot" Ashley said.

"Don't father me Ashley. You should have thought about this, before coming here to attack Dave. Count yourself lucky that he's being nice to you, As I know Dave to well to break a woman's bone."

Mr Dot Kones turned and left his daughter's cage room, And as he stepped out to the passage, while Aaron locked up the door, Mr Dot Kones said to Ashley, as he stared back into her cage room,

"You will always be dear to me Ashley. But prepare yourself, as you will be going to live with Dave once I speak to him about it now."

Mr Dot Kones left, while Ashley went to sat back on the mattress sullen.
