Love from My Dominant Boss

Probably because of Michael, I was firm with my stance this round. In an instant, my parents’ faces turned grim. Even though they were gazing at me with an unmissable sense of guilt in their eyes, I could foresee that they would not easily change their minds.

“Let me put it this way. As long as you are willing to cut ties with that man, we won’t be bothered no matter where you intend to go for your career advancement in the future. After we receive this one million, you don’t have to transfer us money again. By then, your burden will be eased as well. It’s a win-win situation for us, isn’t it?” My dad voiced his opinions and negotiated with me in a way. All this while, he was the core decision-maker at home as the patriarchy concept was deeply ingrained in our family.

“I won’t leave him, so you won’t be able to get that one million as well.” I took a firm stand by emphasizing my decision. I had made up my mind to turn a deaf ear to them this round and would not give in to them no matter what. They could only blame themselves for letting me down.

“Anna, you are really adamant! Since Dad and Mom have made themselves clear, why are you still so persistent? What’s the point to continue staying by his side? Will he give you one million because of that? Fine then, if you insist, get him to give us one million first. By then, I’m sure Dad and Mom won’t force you again.”

I had had enough bickering with Dad and Mom, and now Steven was adding oil to the fire. All of them were forcing me to leave Michael!

“Is money all that you care about—that you would rather sacrifice everything else just for the sake of money?” I scoffed.

They are all the same. Their minds are preoccupied with one million, and they never spare any thoughts for me! At that very moment, I felt dejected like a deflated balloon.

“Money is the most important thing in the world! Tell me—what can one do without money? Do you think you can survive without a single penny?” My mom refuted in great displeasure, and my heart fell upon hearing her words.

Undeniably, we can’t survive without money. Even so, money can’t buy everything in this world. Don’t they know that there’s a price to pay for everything? If they get that one million but ruin my future, won’t they feel guilty about it?
