The Arranged Bride

Nick's POV

"Son , I have some great news for you", Dad barged into my cabin with a grinning face.

" Go on " , I said looking back into the files.

" You are getting married " , he said.

I chuckled ."Nice one Dad " . I waited for him to say something but when he didn't I looked up.

His face had no hint of humor.

" You can't be serious !"

"Oh I am son , you are getting married to Mr. David's daughter, Sophia . They have accepted my proposal."

" Dad you know that marriage is just not my thing."

" Well you can try . Besides she will be a nice mother to Ethan. Stop just thinking about yourself, think of the little child. "

"How can you say that! You saw her once and you think that she will be a good mother to Ethan. She maybe something else under her facade for god's sake." I shouted in exasperation.

"Don't raise your voice young man and I as a matter of fact have a better choice in women than you . I very well know that she is not like the gold digger that you keep around these days ... Christina right ?"

" Sure , she isn't "

I don't know how can Dad not see her intentions. We weren't properly introduced and she is ready for the marriage . What else if not for money?

" You are marrying her , end of discussion. I have had enough of your playboy ways. It's time for you to settle down. Tonight they are coming to dinner. I expect you to be there by 7 " with that he left.

I was so fucking pissed. First marriage and then this stupid dinner.

I drowned myself in work to get away from all these thoughts for the while but every now and then I remembered her face .

Her brown hair , her grey mesmerizing eyes, soft kissable lips ...

Urgh .. stop it , she is just a gold digger.
