Taming The CEO's Tempting Wife
Chapter 5 - Unshakeable Will
Kicking my huge beanbag cushion over and over again, snarling at everything that breathed in my room, I eventually threw it right against my wall, knocking down a picture frame of King and I in the process.
Leah Lancaster
You want marry me off, after I saved our family, from ruin by giving you contact with one of my closest friends?
Leah Lancaster
Then again, my Father never does tend to brag about MY efforts, and changes them into HIS efforts.
He just sat there while Grandpa slapped me, sipping on his pinot noir while gazing at his newspaper.
Leah Lancaster
Baxtards, all of you!
My phone rang and I went to throw it out of the window when I found out that it was coming from my personal phone.
I answered it and immediately moaned.
Leah Lancaster
Kiiiiinnnnggg...
Kingsley Greendale
What's wrong? Should I come over? Were they mean?
No, he can't come over. If he sees my swollen cheek, who knows how he'll react!
Leah Lancaster
No, I'm fine.
I'd better put it under ice... least it leave a bruise.
Leah Lancaster
Well, not really.
Leah Lancaster
Grandpa is selling me off.
Kingsley Greendale
But why? You have done so much for that family!
Leah Lancaster
Seems like my Father failed to mention my name in there.
Kingsley Greendale
What a bunch of... toads!
Kingsley Greendale
Leave the house and come to mine! My aunt and uncle adore you, they'll welcome you with open arms.
Leah Lancaster
No. That might get you in trouble. Who knows what pretense my Grandfather will have to get me back.
Leah Lancaster
Besides... you know the promise that I made to my stepmother...
Kingsley Greendale
"Keep your head high Leah, and become the next leader that will revolutionise that family forever."
Kingsley Greendale
I know... I know...
Kingsley Greendale
But surely you're not going to marry an old pervert!
He's right. What to do, what to do...
The perfect demonstration of dominance and freedom of choice.
Leah Lancaster
I'm getting married.
Kingsley Greendale
Wait, WHAT?
Leah Lancaster
But not to the man they pick for me. No, I'm going to choose the man myself.
Leah Lancaster
I won't let those baxtards depict my life. They'll most likely negotiate when I'll have my first child, how I'll greet my husband when he gets back from work...
Leah Lancaster
This is my life to live. I won't let them take it from me.
Kingsley Greendale
B-But... your family won't be happy with just anyone...
Leah Lancaster
As long as they have money and power, he could be a mafia boss for all they care.
Leah Lancaster
As long as the zeros keep piling up, they don't care two cents about me.
Kingsley Greendale
You're being serious... wow, you're going through with this?
I made her a promise that I intend to keep.
Leah Lancaster
Yes. King, find me a list of the youngest and most handsome and successful men in this city.
Leah Lancaster
I'll look through them tomorrow!
Leah Lancaster
Free-will will scare them. They hate it when someone goes their own way off. I'll show them free-will. Big and wide and proud.
