Chapter 3 Anger. -Part two

I sat back in the chair I was in, simply prepared for anything. My father had always been a strict man, totally sure of his attitudes, he was a bit absent during our upbringing, but it was something to be expected from such a busy man.

"By God Ellie, you look like you're going to be executed. Calm down, I'm not here to fight."

My mom laughed at my dad's comment, maybe I really was too scared.

"I'm sorry."

"Look, I know you have a very close relationship with your sister's fiancé, but I'm asking you to put all this behind you. there's a reason for this, so don't ruin it."

"May I know the reason?"

"We love you both very much, but your sister is the eldest, I have no male children to inherit the lineage, I would have to pass everything on to her. Which can never happen."

"Why do you say that?"

"She is cruel and spoiled, totally insane when she is contradicted, the best choice is to marry her off to someone from a good family and pass the whole legacy to you."

"What!? No, you can't do that! Emily would never accept that."

"Once she's married, she won't have a choice. I entrust our legacy to you, not to her, I expect you to take good care of our name."

"But what about Leo?"

"I'll be honest with you dear, when we talked about marriage, he said he would rather marry you, his father practically forced him to accept. I wish he wasn't put in the middle of it, but there's no other choice."

"It could have been anyone!"

"Our name is important, I know you won't understand now, but Adam's family is the second largest, and his lineage is almost as pure as ours, there was no one else to fill this role. As much as I want to get rid of your brother, I can't marry you off to just anyone."

"I...I understand father, I will think about it for a while."

My father said goodbye to me with a kiss on my forehead, this was all too much for me, I didn't know what to do with so much information, everything was confusing, messy like it never was before, I walked out of the dining room, I just wanted to go to the garden, where I would get some fresh air, where I would have some peace.

As soon as I walked through the door of the dining room, I found Emilly leaning against the wall, she was listening to our whole conversation, she heard everything my father said about him, about how he didn't want her to take over everything because she was spoiled, about how he was arranging this whole wedding so she would leave as soon as possible.

My sister stared at me with hatred in her eyes, she could stop me right there if she could, all I could see was the purest hatred overflowing all over her face. She wanted to say something, but with our parents in the next room she decided to just leave.

My chest was going up and down non-stop, it was like I was facing death itself at that moment, my sister was capable of things I could never imagine and now that she knew everything, I had done nothing but put a huge target on my back.

I ran to the garden, when I got there, I was already panting, I sat under the tree I always used to stay, I took a deep breath, feeling the smell of the grass, the smell of the wet earth, something that would bring me comfort, but nothing, nothing worked, I felt on the verge of death no matter how I looked at this situation.

I heard a step approaching, it was Léo again, he crouched down next to me and asked if I was okay, it didn't take long before he realized I wasn't, so he held my hand and talked random things to me until I calmed down.

"Do you feel better now?"

"I-I think so, thank you for that."

"It's okay, if you want to tell me what's going on feel free."

"I can't, I really can't tell you, not this time."

"I understand."

"What about you?"

"What?"

"What about you? How are you coping with all this? I don't know how you manage to do it without dying of fear."

"Well, I knew it would happen, I wasn't lucky as you said, I couldn't find my mate in time, so I have to do what my father wants, I ant's fight it after all."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, I know I'll live well with your sister."

"I don't think I will, my sister can be cruel when she wants to."

"I only regret one thing."

"What?"

"That I didn't do it."

Leo held my face and kissed me; I was surprised but somehow couldn't help but reciprocate.
