Hearts Entwined By Destiny
ch.5
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(furious and troubled)
what's gotten into him...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(thinking of what to do...holding the document Reginald gave)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(👈 saw Reginald leaving Arnold's study...so came to check what's going on)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
Honey..what's wrong?
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
Is Reginald still not agreeing?
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(pinches between eyebrows)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
He has gone Mad...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(crumples the document in the hand..tosses it to bin)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(takes the paper without Arnold noticing...and reads)
DOCUMENT
Reginald Gresley wishes to break all ties with his biological father Arnold Gresley...meaning he doesn't have any rights to his father's inheritance, family businesses etc...
Likewise Arnold Gresley will not have any say or rights over Reginald Gresley and his matters personal and professional..
They will no longer have a father son relation and are not obligated to anyone in their families...they will live their life as total strangers
If Mr Arnold Gresley agrees to these conditions, Reginald Gresley will accept his father's decisions regarding his marriage.
If Mr Arnold doesn't agree to the terms, then Reginald will no longer accept anyone's interference regarding his marriage
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
this 😳
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(didn't expect her to read the document...snatches from her hands)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(glaring)
what are you doing here?
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(over the moon...but pretending to be sad)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
Honey...how can Reginald say this?
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
we..we are a family....how can we separate like that....
(crocodile tears)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
*sigh* that idiot...he just wants to piss me off
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
as if I'd agree...to this ridiculous agreement...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**hah...we'll played step son***
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**you both dramatic son n father...you're each other's weakness**
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
** ofcourse your father can never agree to such conditions....**
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**How cunning you are to use your father's affection to escape this marriage....I really have to applaud you**
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**but you underestimate me...you just presented everything I want on a silver platter**
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**do you think I will let go of this chance...so easily...**
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**humph...you wish**
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
But honey...if this marriage is cancelled...how..can...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(irked)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
To Hell with the alliance..(shouts)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(flinch)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
it's not so important than my son....
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
it's not like we loose anything...I'll find another way to get the lazlo's collaboration
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(can't let go of this chance)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
Honey...I know...nothing is important than Reginald...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
but don't you think...he became too indulgent...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
he clearly knows...you love him...n you won't agree...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
he's just using our love to escape the marriage...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
how can we let him be unfilial...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
do you really think...he can go away from us and live comfortably...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
that child...he can't even stay away from home for few months...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
he will come back to us in no time...
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
don't you think...it's a waste of opportunity....just because of Reginalds stubbornness
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
moreover...everyone in the circle knows about this wedding...now if you cancel...how can we handle the aftermath...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(clenches fist...listening to everything)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(cunning smile....as she made Arnold to double think about this)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
I'm.. sorry honey...I shouldn't have said this...but..I...only think about our family...
(fake tears)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(👉 already saw through her intentions)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
**hah...you're talking about family?**
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
**aren't you the one who made it come to this disgraceful marriage for my son??**
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
**aren't you just waiting for Reggie to loose all inheritance?? you just want everything for your son***
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
**do you think...I don't know...it's you who spread the news of this marriage...**
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
**now you're suddenly concerned huh...**
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(his blood boiling...thinking about everything she did)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(clenches fist...in anger)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(seeing no reaction from Arnold....comes closer...trying to hold his arms)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(shrieks away...making her fall down)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(glares with cold aura)
what're you doing? get out of HERE
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
** damn you husband.....I can't even touch you...after all these years**
(grits teeth)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
I.. I..didn't mean it...I'm sorry honey...
(hurt her ego..but still trying to be calm)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(turns back towards her)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
Get out (coldly)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
**tch...just you wait**
(walks away pretending to be sad)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
and one more thing
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(stops...looks back)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
I know what to do...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(turns head...looking at her from the corner of his eyes...warning)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
so don't you dare...intervene in matters regarding Reggie anymore...it's my last warning
(cold)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(startled)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(recovers)
Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(smirks)

Alyssa Gresley (ML Step Mom)
(leaves...feeling satisfied)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(drops to his seat)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
*sigh* what a disaster..I brought upon my self
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
I'm sorry Jenna...I've disappointed both of you..
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(leans back in the chair...pinching between eyebrows)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(fell in a deep thought)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(recalling all the painful memories of the past...his heart pains)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
I tore it down myself...
(feels through air...as grabbing something)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
I'm so pathetic...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(chuckles with a bitter smile)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
Jenna...Reggie is just like you....
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)

(looking at the crumpled document)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I disappointed you both...
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(since the original doc is all crumpled....prepares a new one with the terms)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
(strokes Reginalds name longingly...as tears blind his sight and clear away)
Mr Arnold Gresley (ML father)
