Together Alone...!?

| CHAPTER EIGHT|

"When u have given nothing, ask for nothing"

Alexander's PoV:

"Sir your father called and he asked you to be home by Five in the evening and said not to make any excuses as it is important" I groaned as I heard my assistant Lisa tell me about my meeting with my family.

You see, I love my family but I was already tired since morning with all these meetings and I just wanted to go and sleep, but guess that will have to wait. I nodded and asked her to leave.

Being the most handsome bachelor and one of the best businessmen has its perks. Respect. That is something that I value the most. I am not one of those typical playboys sleeping around. I love my work and it gives me happiness so my business is everything for me.

My mom raised me to be respectful towards women and not disrespect them. So I try to do that. However that doesn't mean that I won't stop them if they crossed their boundaries. Like some of them just come and sit in my lap out of nowhere, like woman personal space is a thing. I might come off as a cold, arrogant and egoistic (which I might be) but for my family and three best friends, I am the complete opposite.

My phone ringing brought me back to reality. It was my private investigator. "Hello Max" I greeted him. "Hello sir, I just wanted to inform you that I tried my best to find out about her sir, but it seems she doesn't even exist. Like the name Isabella Carter isn't anywhere but everyone knows her. I am starting to question her existence in the first place." He spoke.

Okay another stressful news to top it off. Isabella Carter. The world's most successful billionaire. But fun fact.....,.no one knows her. I have hired so many people to find her or at least something related to her, but all in vain. "Okay Max, keep trying" with that I cut my call.

You see, I have nothing against women being at the top, but I wanted to see the face of this woman. Her business tactics are to die for. And I am after all second after her and I wanted to know who was this mysterious lady. From the ones who have seen her, she is breathtakingly beautiful. And that just increased my curiosity.

Ping. Uhhh now who messaged me. I saw that it was my mom.
Mom: u are coming right?
Me: yes mom, I am. But do you know why did dad call us?
Mom: no idea honey, but let's just wait and see.
Me: okay mom, see u❤️

After texting my Mom, I attended a few conference calls and soon it was time to go get ready. I went to my penthouse and changed.

( A/N: HIS PENTHOUSE)

I got into my red Bentley and drive towards my parents mansion.

( A/N: HIS CAR)

As soon as I arrived and punched the code into the gates, the enormous gates opened. Standing at the driveway was our butler, Peter. I gave him a small smile and he smiled back. He wasn't a man of many words.

I rang the doorbell and as I waited, I started thinking about what my father had to tell us on such a short notice. I love my dad and respected him a lot. He was more of a best friend growing up and I can do anything for him. I smiled to myself as the memories of my father cheering for me during my football matches came up in my mind.

Before I could think any further the door opened and my mom immediately wrapped me in a bear hug. And it was funny, because she is a small woman and I m almost 6'4. However I wrapped my arms around her and returned her hug. "It's been so long since I have seen u" she whispered.

I rolled my eyes. "Mom it's been a week and I don't think it's long" I said laughing. She hit me on my arm and I muttered a "Rude" under my breath but she heard it and gave me a glare which said 'I heard that'.

Someone cleared their through behind us and I turned to see my dad. I smiled and he playfully scowled and said "no hugs for me?". I smiled sheepishly and gave him a side hug and said "always".

After our little affectionate session we went to have dinner. But my mom and dad keep glancing towards each other and were conveying something with their eyes. I knew something was up but I didn't want to question them so I waited for dinner to be over.

We were sitting in the main hall and my parents were sitting opposite to me and they were still tensed. "Alright now speak up. I know something is up." My dad nervously glanced at my mom and spoke up the four words which caused me to choke on my wine. "You are getting married".

After I calmed down from my chocking session I bursted out "dad, what the hell? U can't joke like this" " well son it's a good thing I am not joking then" he said it casually.

Millions of thoughts were raising in my mind but I just said "Explain". He then told me how my grandfather got into and agreement and how it would result in me loosing my company if I won't marry her soon.

My head was spinning from all this information that I had to process. My dad then spoke up "son listen to me, I m not getting u married to this girl because of the contract but because she is someone who is correct for you. Trust me she is hard to handle but when u get to know the real her, u will fall in love with her so deeply that you won't be able to express it with your words."

I was angry because I did not even know this girl and she had my parents under her spell. I bet she is some gold digger. Well whoever you are 'Future wife', get ready because u are in it for a very amazing life ahead. PS: note the sarcasm.

"Okay dad, I agree to this but remember that woman would mean nothing to me and don't expect me to go all lovey dovy on her." With that I left the mansion, ignoring the protests of my parents.

.........................

Damn!!!!!!!
They are getting married✨✨
