Chapter 5 My Jane

Jane's POV

Today is Amelia's engagement banquet, she is not happy with this engagement, but our Dad never cared for his family's happiness.

I heard that this engagement is just a business arrangement, my brother-in-law gets the biggest profit, and after him, the biggest profit maker is my Dad.

It is about some big projects that they have collaborated.

I don't want to attend this banquet, but my Dad's threat is something I cannot ignore, so without my wish, also, I have to attend this ceremony.

Amelia had never seen her would-be fiancé; neither she was interested. We leave out hotel and head to the banquet, organized in a five-star hotel on the fifth floor.

After we reached here, I saw many reporters. They wanted to interview Amelia; it seems like the people whom Amelia is getting engaged is quite influential; reporters are dying to talk to his would-be fiancé.

I made my mind that I will keep a low profile; I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. But my Dad always has a different plan than me.

After entering the banquet hall, I left my Dad and sister's side, got a corner seat, and settled myself.

I still feel like I just want to hug my mother's photo and sleep, maybe I can see her in my dreams.

As I was in my thoughts my Dad waved me to follow him, Me, my sister and Dad were standing at the stage, my Dad was holding the mic, and he announced, "Thank you, everyone, for pulling out your precious time, and attend my daughter's engagement."

"I would like to introduce my two lovely princesses, " He indicated at Amelia and said, "This is my first daughter, Amelia Gilbert." Then he turned towards me and said, "This is my sweet little younger daughter, Jane Gilbert."

I'm not too fond of his sugar-coated words; I still managed to force a small smile and walk down from the stage.

Marco's POV

I was getting engaged to Anthony Gilbert's first daughter today; this marriage is the biggest deal of my life, the profit associated with this deal will lead me as the second richest man in the world.

This business marriage will take me closer to my dreams; it can be said that it a kind of short cut. For me, what matters is the growth of my business, until I can reach my goal, nothing is right or wrong.

Just as I entered the banquet hall, I heard Mr. Gilbert introducing his daughters, when my eyes fell on the girl on the stage beside him, my breath hitched.

It was none other than my angel, for whom I was looking from the past three years, I never thought I would be able to see her in my engagement.

She looked more beautiful than three years ago, but she had lost her innocent smile, it was visible that she forced that small smile, her eyes were not like it used to be, now it seems that there was no life in that beautiful eyes.

I know, one thing very well, that I am not going to lose her this time, and this is also the fact that I cannot stop this engagement, because I worked hard on the project in which we are working in collaboration. The project is registered under Mr. Gilbert's first daughter.

We had planned it for so long; we don't want this marriage to look like business marriage, so everything was planned.

We displayed like, it was Gilbert's first daughter who was in charge of this project, and I fell in love with her, so the share on her name would be mine after marriage.

I will marry the first daughter and keep my angel, or should I say, my Jane, I love her name, as my mistress, in fact, I will prison her by my side forever.

I don't like the hungry eyes of every man looking at my Jane; she is only mine. I will never allow her to step out of my house.

I asked Andrew to arrange a small meeting with Mr. Gilbert before the engagement ceremony starts.
