Chapter 26 - Chapter Twenty-six : Other side of the deal

'I believe you must have read the part which says that I would be investing alot into your business, so let me go straight to the point, he said and Mr Leo glared at him angrily.

Jaden smirked and said, it's not my fault though, that you seem not to have noticed the last page which clearly states:

Thanks for agreeing to let both families (The Hanks and Leo's) bond in marriage and also in business.

N:B ; Failure for the marriage of your daughter Miss Serena Leo to Jaden Hanks, the youngest son of the Hanks. I, Mr Leo promise to give back all that was given/promised to me in double, even if it means loosing my entire property.

After Jaden finished reading, he closed the document and place it back on his desk. 'What you're doing is not fair, I mean I've not even received a penny from you, Mr Leo said.

'Is it that he doesn't understand English or that he's naturally dull, Jaden mumbled. 'What did you say, he asked. "Nothing but it's not my fault that you didn't plan on launching any company and besides this deal will only be active after the marriage between your daughter and me has been concluded.

This cannot be happening, he mumbled enough for Jaden to hear. 'Well it's already happening, so all you have to do right now is to go back home,get some rest and wait till the wedding day, Jaden said before stepping out leaving Mr Leo alone in the office.

The Leo's Residence

He got back home feeling down in his mood and went straight to his bedroom without having anything to eat.

Honey you're back, Mrs Leo said but didn't get any response from her husband, so she moved closer to him and noticed his change in mood.

'Is everything okay, did something happen to Sarah, she asked looking worried. 'No, not at all, our baby girl is fine. Then why are you looking like this, please tell me what's going on, I might be able to help, she said.

What do I say, greed has gotten the better of me and I ended up making the wrong decision for my daughter, he said and explained every single detail to her including what Jaden said not missing out anything. Mrs Leo was shocked after hearing what her husband just said, so she quickly rushed to the cupboard and brought out the copy of the document which she received and read through them again.

The couples sat down in deep thoughts without saying anything to the other for about an hour. 'Honey, Mr Leo said and his wife glanced at him. I have thought things through, I can't do it, I won't let my daughter life get ruined rather I would give him my property.....

Cuts in, you can't do that, have you thought about the fact that your daughter is hospitalized and currently she is unstable. If you give him everything , then how are we gonna survive. Come to think of it, we won't be able to pay for Sarah's medical bills and then her condition would worsened and yes don't forget that she's carrying a child or have you forgotten about that, she said with teary eyes.

I haven't forgotten about that, I just can't bear to see our daughter suffer more than she is doing right now, he said.

'There has to be a way, Mrs Leo said as she stood up with determination in her eyes. I'm not a mother for no reason, a mother is meant to always protect her child and I will do just that, therefore this mother had decided there will be a wedding ceremony.
