"Sir, I don't think I could accept this. I mean it's beautiful and breathtaking but this is one of the memories of your wife." She answered.
"No. I want you to have it. Nina, I could tell you are a good person, whatever relationship you have with my son, I think you are the perfect woman for him and I know my wife would be happy if you will have it." His father suddenly said.
They were surprised that he knew they were just acting and she suddenly felt ashamed. She blushed and couldn't look at the man in front of her. She tilted her head down and bit her lips.
"I-I'm sorry sir. I-I offered myself to your son, h-he helped me and my family. I owe him." She stuttered.
"Father, I'm sorry but I can't marry Ella. I don't like her." Andrew started to explain.
His father became serious, looking at his son intensely.
"Then why did you kiss her in front of so many people while your so-called fiance was standing beside you?" His father suddenly asked.
She looked at the father and son who were starting to have a more serious conversation.
"I was wrong father. I know that. I don't have any feelings for her. She was just one of the women I-" He couldn't continue anymore when his father's face became dark.
"Nina, from now on, you don't have a debt to my son. It would be your decision if you wanted to stay and marry him. But like I said, I know you are a good person. This is a gift from me, keep it." He said while giving the necklace to her. Then he turned to his son.
"I will give you a week to change your mind. Remember, marriage is not that simple. You will be tied to the person for the rest of your lives. Without love, it may be hard for both of you and you may eventually hate each other to the point that you couldn't even look at each other's eyes. I will take my leave and we'll meet here again next week." Then his father stood up and walked away from them.
They didn't talk inside the car. Nina has mixed emotions and couldn't decide if she would just break up with Andrew. They are not really a couple so thinking about breaking up was funny.
She frowned when she realized that they were not headed to Queen's. She looked at Andrew, he was serious and she couldn't read what's on his mind.
"Where are we going? Where are you taking me?" She asked.
She suddenly felt nervous because he wasn't saying anything.
"Andrew, answer me!" She almost yelled and was starting to panic when they entered a big mansion.
She kept on asking him but he still didn't utter a single word. They stopped at the front of the house and were greeted by a man who looked like a driver. Andrew got out of the car and pulled her inside the house when he opened the door to her side.
She saw around four maids who were looking at them surprised. Andrew kept on walking, they went upstairs and next she knew, she was pulled inside a bedroom.
"Andrew what is this place? Answer me! Why did you bring me here?" She nagged.
"Can you shut up for just one minute?" He yelled.
She was shocked. It was the first time she saw him like that. Like he was a different person. She kept quiet and sat down on the couch, trying to calm herself.
"Are you changing your mind now?" He asked.
She looked at him and sighed.
"What if I am?" She answered.
"What about what you said in the car earlier?" He asked again, looking directly into her eyes.
"Do you think I would allow you to touch me after seeing you kissing that woman? You think so lowly of me. And the worst part was lying to your father. I can't believe it. You disgust me!" She said, angrily.
He smirked and walked towards her. He grabbed her arm and tilted her chin up. She felt a sudden pain in her arm.
"What did you say? How dare you tell me that? You sold yourself to me, Nina. I didn't force you. I told you, I slept and dated a lot of women but you changed your mind about that contract and insisted on staying with me forever. It was all your decision not mine so you don't have the right to be disgusted."
She glared at him and smirked. She will never show any weakness to this guy. She hated him. The happy days she spent with him that she thought they understood each other were gone.
"I don't care what my father said! You have a debt to pay. It was my money not my father's! Whether you like it or not, you won't get away with me. Unless you want one of your sisters to be your substitute!" He continued.
Her heart was in rage. How could he blackmail her using her sisters? She despised him. He knew she would do anything for her family, especially her little sisters. They were her weakness and now he was using them to get what he wants.
"You want me that bad? Fine! Let's get this done! I will be your sex slave if that's what you want! I will marry you and pretend like a woman in love! But remember this Andrew, you could take my body but I would never give you my heart!" She answered, yelling back at him.
His face was dark, he couldn't understand why he wanted her to stay with him. And why he was mad at her. It was his fault responding to Ella's kiss and it wasn't her fault his father found out about the lie. He forgot his father's connections and that he would know everything about him.
"Who says I want your heart? You're dreaming Nina. I need the marriage for my sake, so father would give me his company, your body was just a reward." He said in a cold tone.
She felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Her hatred for him grew but she would not show Andrew another weakness of hers, for him to use against her.
She slapped his hands who were holding her arms then stood up and undressed herself. Beneath the dress, she was actually wearing a laced bra paired with a lace string bikini.
He saw Andrew's eyes beaming with lust, making her body react from his gaze.
