E1
The morning sun was filtering through the curtains
Everett Riordan
(sitting in his room)
Everett Riordan
(scrolling through his e-mails)
Everett Riordan
(eyes widen)
His heart raced when he spotted a message from the company of his dreams – he'd been accepted
Everett Riordan
(smiles excitedly)
Everett Riordan
I can achieve my dream
Everett Riordan
After working here, I'll gain enough experience to start my own business
Everett Riordan
(excited) I need to tell Papa about this
Everett Riordan
(rushes downstairs)
But as he reached the bottom step, his smile faltered.
His whole family was gathered in the living room: his mom, Jonathan, his dad, Alaric, and even his uncles Benjamin and Liam.
His mom was engaged in a heated argument with his grandpa, Michael.
Jonathan Riordan
I won't let you do this
Jonathan Riordan
I'm not letting my son go through what I did
Jonathan Riordan
(voice trembles)
Jonathan Riordan
He's not getting married
Everett Riordan
(eyes widen)
Everett Riordan
*Marriage?*
Michael watched Jonathan with pleading eyes, his voice gentle yet persuasive.
Michael Quinn
Jonathan, please consider this carefully.
Michael Quinn
It's a good alliance, not just for Everett but for both our companies.
Michael Quinn
It could benefit us all in the long run.
Jonathan Riordan
(clenches his jaw tightly)
Jonathan Riordan
I won't sacrifice my son's happiness for the sake of business, Dad
Jonathan Riordan
Not again
Meanwhile, Alaric shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his silence speaking volumes.
Though he shared the same sentiments, the weight of the decision hung heavily on his shoulders.
He glanced at Michael, his expression unreadable, before turning his gaze back to Jonathan.
Alaric Rhys Riordan
Jonathan is right
Alaric Rhys Riordan
This isn't the right path for Everett.
Alaric Rhys Riordan
We need to prioritize his well-being above all else
Michael Quinn
(shoulders sagged in defeat, his disappointment evident)
Michael Quinn
But it's for his well-being too
Michael Quinn
he'll be safe there
As Grandpa Michael continued his plea, Jonathan's patience wore thin
Jonathan Riordan
No! My son won't marry that Mafia guy!
Jonathan Riordan
He's not good for my son
Everett Riordan
(eyes widen)
Everett Riordan
*M...Mafia ?*
