~ JACK'S POINT OF VIEW ~

"Forgive me, Father! But I don't want to marry someone I don't even know and love!" Breathing heavily is the only way to chase enough air, and to ease the anger that slowly changes my mind.
Father chuckles abruptly, caressing his jawline as he usually does it every time he feels terrible and furious. "You know what will be the consequences of your abrupt and sudden decisions. You know I am capable of doing things that will bring you to your downfall. Listen to me very carefully, Jack. Not with your soft and tender heart as it will only lead you to death!"
