Forced to marry the old ruthless CEO

"You are going through with this marriage and there's nothing we can do about it Melissa," my dad said to me like it was okay and he owned my life. " Dad I have someone I love and you know why are you forcing me to do this?" My dad had never been there for me, I lost my mom when I was 3 and my dad married Rebecca a year later. Rebecca was nice to me when she courted my dad but the moment she got married to my dad and came in with her daughter who I was a year older than my life became hell. "Melissa our company is in huge debt and the only person who can help us is Asher Kelvin. We owe him a huge debt right now. Am sure he can take care of you, baby, please help your dad." my dad pleaded but I wasn't ready to throw my life away. " Dad you want me to marry a man I have never met? Is a man old enough to be my dad? A man known to be a renowned womaniser, who is known in almost all brothels. Is that what you call taking care of me Dad? I can't do this please, I really can't". I told my dad " Okay how about the school? I have to go for my internship in a month, so how can I marry now?" I tried helplessly. " Lisa it's already a done deal, there is nothing we can do about it as I already permitted him to go ahead. And by tomorrow morning his men would come by to pick you up to go register your marriage" my dad said in a hard tone as he turned around and walked to his room quickly. " Dad!!!" I shouted at the top of my voice " Dad, how can you be so cruel? Am I just a commodity to you? Did Rebecca tell you to do this? Is this all am worth? am not going through with it you hear me, Dad? I will not " I shouted as I stormed out of the house in anger. Even though Asher Kelvin was a womaniser, he was also known to be a ruthless old man. My eyes were clouded with tears but I held them in only wishing to be in Ken's arms. ----‐------------- " You can only be mine Melissa, you're mine." He hugged me so tight like his life depended on it. "You'll be alright without me, It will take a while but you'll be fine" I gently pushed him away but he wouldn't let go. " Am sorry I hurt you, Melissa, am sorry I kept the truth away from you but please don't leave me. Lisa you've become my light, all I see is darkness without you......" His voice broke, and my heart ached so much. I love this man with my whole being. " I don't have the same feeling I had for you anymore Asher, just let me go, please. I gave you my heart for a long time but you wouldn't take it, revenge was your priority now I have someone else in my heart." I tried but he didn't let go. " Melissa please don't go, I'll do anything just don't go. You're my life, Melissa, please." I could feel his tears dropping on my neck as he sobbed gently, He raised his head to look at me still crying and I stared back into his eyes and before I knew it, I was lost in those blue eyes I couldn't take my eyes off him, He bent his head slightly and covered my lips with his.

Chapter 31: I Told You I Was A Celebrity

" I'm driving you to school," he announced happily as he started walking toward the door.

" Wait!! What? " I ran to catch up with him. When we got out of the mansion I saw a Bugatti Mistral Roadster parked. I gasped as I saw the car. " Oh My God!!! Are you kidding me?" I stood there for some minutes without doing anything but just admiring the car. He just grinned as I exclamated and rested on the chair to watch the drama I was about to perform.

" How the hell did you get this!!?? I heard this car was preordered before the production and is only supposed to be delivered in 2024, so how did you get this Tommy? Or was everything I read about the car wrong?" Tommy only laughed at my amusement. These guys are sure wealthier than I even imagined, What was truly their relationship, I don't buy the idea that Tommy was his friend's son, Nah not with how they talk and address each other. I mean he has never called the old man Sir or anything of that sort to indicate he was his mentor since I met him yesterday, rather, he always says bro or dude but never anything that could show the age difference between them.

" Come on Tom, the old have a Lamborghini Revuelto and you have this, How??" I asked seriously when he kept looking at me and wouldn't say anything. "He's not supposed to be able to buy a Lamborghini Revuelto yet, so how did he buy it?" I was so completely engrossed in the car I forgot to point out this.

" Don't be so surprised Lisa, everything is possible with money. Ain't you running late?" He held the door and waited for me to enter, I was still looking at the cat in shock uncertain whether I should enter or not. " The car is not gonna eat you know." He commented when I didn't take a step, I looked at his mischievous smile and couldn't resist smiling. I got in and he shut the door before turning around and entering, he was a man I hadn't known for long but my opinion of him was that he was the man of every girl's dream. He played a song as he drove and I hummed along, soon I found myself humming and singing along.

" You're an amazing singer" He complemented.

" Am still curious as to how you got that car you know," I murmured. He glanced in my direction before saying " Why are you so curious? You don't look the poke-nosing type." I didn't even care if I was poke-nosing, I couldn't stand not knowing when it comes to cars. " Because I love cars, I love speed and I can't stand not knowing when it's related to cars," I replied simply.

" Oh I see, I forgot you liked cars." He rubbed one hand on his cheek like he was thinking about something.

" Wait, you forgot I like cars? Am just telling you now I like cars, so how did you know?" I was looking at him suspiciously.

" Your husband told me " He turned to me smiled and continued looking ahead. I still hated it when I was been referred to as Mrs Kelvin or the old man's wife and was about to protest about being called his wife when a more important question crossed my mind,

" He talks about me? " Why was I concerned about whether or not he talked about me was another question I couldn't answer.

" Of course " He answered casually, I wanted to know what he was talking about but I didn't want to give Tommy the wrong impression so I bit my lips instead before the next question came.

" Well, he told me you were a tomboy who never wore a skirt or a gown. He also said You like wearing baggy clothes, your hair is always packed in a ponytail, you don't put on makeup or earrings and..." He paused and looked in my direction, A grin appeared on his face as she saw the surprised expression I had, I mean how did he know so much when we barely even talked or ran into each other? I was still curious, I wanted to hear everything that old man said about me but he had stopped talking, I needed to say something to make him continue without sounding interested " And that I miss my home? " I sighed, He stopped the car and I jerked my head up immediately looking around to see why he stopped and discovered we were already in school, I had been so engrossed talking with him that I didn't even realise we already arrived at my school.

" Thanks for the ride Tommy" I was about to open the door but he shook his head and pulled out a nose mask and wore it " I can't afford any scandal at the moment, especially not with my buddy's wife else he'll ... " I could tell he thought of something by the mischievous smile that crept up on his face " what do you mean scandal, I thought only celebrity get caught up in scandals?" I asked confused, ' What did he mean by that?'.

" You don't know who I am? " He looked surprised but I nodded, I had been feeling like I knew him but I didn't know from where I knew him, I nodded at him. " Do you Xavier Scott?" He asked. " Of course I know him, The Xavier Scott is the owner of the website and game development company in the USA and the richest bachelor in America." I smiled as I remembered my number one crush, I played every game his company developed. The first boy to open a company at the age of 18. 'I know what Scott looked like so this isn't him so why did he ask?'

But before I could ask my question he already got out of the car and went to open the door for me.

" Thanks a lot, am grateful " I smiled as I got out of the car. " You're not welcome " He smiled back at me. I didn't realise the attention I had drawn to myself until I turned around to leave and saw some students staring in our direction. I slowly turned back to face Tommy," Why are people staring at us?" I looked calm on the outside but I was freaking out. " I told you I was a celebrity." He said with a grin.

" Am I serious Tom " More people were watching us now, some even taking pictures. ' Was he a celebrity?'

" Who is that guy over there glaring at me? " Tommy was looking at my left. ' Oh no Liam!'

I turned in that direction and to my surprise, it was Ken. ' Why the hell would Ken be looking at Tom like that, it's not like we are dating anymore. ' I'm relieved it isn't Liam though.'

" Your ex?" I turned my attention immediately to the man in front of me.

" How did you guess? " I wasn't surprised anymore 'cause he seemed to know everything.

" He looks like one." He grinned at me,

" I'll head for class now." I wanted him to start going before he brought more attention to us.

" Hey Lis, who is this?" Came Liam's voice

' Oh no, too late.'
