Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 3

　Two years later…

　　“Why do I have to get married for the family benefits?” Ariana tried to reason with Ashton, his father. They are forcing her but Ariana is no longer that easy to be bullied.

　　“Shut up! Why shouldn’t you get married to help the family?” he shouted at her. Hearing her father’s words Ariana cannot believe this is actually her biological father. They had been pestering her throughout University to get married to all sorts of businessmen to help their company in which she always refused but it now got worse after she completed her studies. It is almost as if she does not have a choice in the matter.

　　“Sister, what is wrong with getting married? Father and mother had been taking care of you for years. This is you paying them back.” Gina Fearon said softly as if she was doing Ariana a great favor.

　　I looked at her as if she had grown another head. “Why don’t you do the honors of helping your father with the company since you are so concerned?” Ariana said coldly. ‘If you didn’t steal my boyfriend two years, would I be going through this right now?’ Ariana brushed that thought aside for Adam Richards is not worthy to be thought about.

　　“Gina has a future ahead of her and she is going to take over the company as soon as she completes her last year of studies. And she is already getting married to Adam Richards in three months.” Angela responded gloatingly.

　　“So what, don’t I have a future too?”  Ariana cannot believe these people are her so called family. They had never treated her as a part of the family. Her stepmother and sister bullied her throughout childhood and for some reasons they managed to corrupt her father over the years.

　　The way he looked at her, the disdain in his eyes is obvious and cannot be hidden. As a father he never protected her from evil hands, it is almost as if he had a personal grudge against her. Does he?

　　Regardless of his indifference towards her, Ariana still cannot manage to hate him as much as he hates her. Ariana doesn't even know if her mother is dead or alive because she never came back for her and when she became of age, she never went looking for her. Ariana had given up on her mother a long time ago.

　　Ariana didn’t know when she left Fearon's home, all she knew is the fact that she ended up in her apartment. Ariana took a shower and went to bed. She has gotten a job in the biggest company in Westron City and she needs to get up early and be prepared.

　　The next day …
