Chapter 3 - Meeting the Parents

'To be honest I wanna go home now.' Veronica said to herself as he was sitting on the dining table in front of the Casanova's as their eyes looked at her piercing a hard stare on her.

"You could just stop looking at my Wife now, Your making her uncomfortable with your stares." Elijah said as the Chairman Yu Casanova cleared his throat as everyone starts eating.

"So are you together for awhile now?" The chairman asked as Elijah smiled. "Not at all I just stole her from my lovable niece." He said as Shane glared at him making this dinner awkward in front of the chairman.

"Yet Shane never introduced this young girl to us, She must be someone remarkable to caught your eyes Elijah." The chairman said as Shane stands up.

"That uncle of mine stole my girlfriend gramps! He should be punished for it!" Shane said as the chairman looked at Veronica.

"Hmm, I know it must have been a cruel thing that your uncle had done to you my poor grandchild and yet you never announced anything within this family about her. Why didn't you take her home with you and introduce her properly to us?" The chairman asked as Veronica looked at Shane who is out of words now.

'He could just say that he's ashamed of me.' Veronica thought as Shane glanced at her. 'Is he reconsidering my feelings right now?' she asked herself as Elijah holds her hand.

"Veronica came from a normal family with an average work and minimum salary. She works three jobs and only get enough to survive for the month." Elijah explained Veronica's status.

"Are you ashamed that Veronica here isn't as rich as you?" The chairman asked as Shane didn't respond because it was the truth after all.

"A man should man up in a situation like this!" The chairman shouted as Shane knew he will be scolded.

"A Casanova doesn't need a woman to be rich since the Casanova stands alone by their name as a man! Did you put that pressure on her so that she'll work harder than a normal person does?!" The chairman asked as Veronica smiled.

Everytime when Shane and her got into a fight her Mom always looked after Shane and scold her instead for being rude. Yet this time it's different, Shane's family is scolding him and didn't take his side after all.

"I worked three jobs to pay off his debt, not to gain a name for this family." Veronica said as Shane glared at her.

"Veronica!" Shane shouted as everyone in the dinning table were shocked. "What's this debt she's talking about Juanco?" The chairman asked Shane's father as his father is getting pissed now as he looked at his younger brother Elijah who's having fun by the face their making.

"The bar, It's the bar that Shane started." He answered as the Chairman massage his nape.

"This is so embarrassing. Did you fix this sh*t Elijah?" He asked as Elijah smiled and nodded.

"I am deeply sorry about this Veronica, If I had known then you wouldn't suffer from my grandchild's irresponsible behavior." He said as he called his assistant and signed a check.

"Take this, You have my blessings in this marriage. Since Elijah chosen you for himself then I have no problem with that." He said as when Veronica saw the check her eyes almost drop from excitement.

'Fvck it! This isn't happening!!!' Shane thought to himself as Elijah and Veronica are smiling making a mood out of the awkwardness in the table.

That night, They went back home to Veronica's apartment as Elijah is staying with her for awhile while she's still deciding on to staying to Elijah's house or just live her life freely.

"Veronica, What are you thinking?" Elijah asked as Veronica is making a meal for the both of them.

She's not used preparing a meal for another man since Shane has been her boyfriend ever since.

"I don't know if you will like this. After all your the CEO of the Casanova's Enterprises." She said as Elijah smiled knowing what she mean about that.

"I might be the CEO of the Casanova's Enterprises but please know that when I get home I'm your husband. I'm not the CEO anymore so I can eat and enjoy things with my wife at home." He explained.

"You seem to be a sweet guy, Why didn't you have a girlfriend?" She asked as Aaron smiled.

'I didn't because they are not you after all my eyes and heart are all for you Veronica.' he thought as he shake his head knowing that it isn't the time yet to confess the truth.

"I'm tired of people coming to me just because I have money. Yet there was this young girl who asked for a drink and asked me to get married without even knowing my status since I'm just a normal bartender in the club that night." He explained as he wink on Veronica.

"Yet your not that dumb to accept my offer immediately. I guess you already knew who am I in the first place right?" She asked as Elijah's smile vanish.

'She's someone sharp. I should be careful.' he thought as Veronica starts to put the food she prepared in the oven.

"Since I'm a married woman now the least thing that I can do for you is to bring you to my hometown." She said as Veronica smiled at Elijah.

Veronica took her apron off as she bow down her head in front of Elijah as a respect.

"I'm not rich, Not good at bed, I have nothing to offer but please be good to me. I'm hoping for a fruitful years of marriage to us and to our future family." Veronica said since even if she doesn't love Elijah yet, She doesn't believe in divorce and their marriage is sacred.

"Future family, Are you starting to like me?" Elijah asked as he start walking closer to her while she's bowing down.

"No, But I don't believe in divorce as marriage is sacred. So I-" Veronica stopped as when she raised her head Elijah was already near him as they almost kissed.

Her heart starts to beat fast as her stomach feels funny.
