Chapter 5 5

Dylan's POV.

#Flashback. ( A day before the one night stand)

The silence was oppressive like a heavy blanket that suffocated me.

I couldn't bear to spend any more minutes in this house. I couldn't wait to leave.

I tapped my fingers repeatedly on my thighs waiting for my phone to ring.

My phone rang, shattering the silence and changing everything.

"Your father is ready to see you." My father's assistant said as soon as I picked up the call.

I got up from where I was seated and walked towards the direction of my father's study.

Walking around this house reminded me of my not so happy childhood.

Growing up in a dictatorship where your father was an autocrat and you couldn't enjoy a regular childhood like other people, you wouldn't feel so happy walking around the house you grew up in.

As I approached my father's study, I could hear the sound of my beating heart and I wondered if it was loud enough for others to hear it too.

I sighed heavily as I put those thoughts behind me and focused on what I was here for.

I walked into the study and my father raised his brows at me as a sign of greeting while I bowed in response to that.

"Took you long enough." He mumbled and I bowed my head as a sign of apology.

I took my seat on the couch and my father addressed me.

"The reason I called you here today is simple." My father said and I looked at him in anticipation.

"I'm ready to step down from my position as chairman of the company." He dropped the bombshell.

"Why?" I asked as I frowned slightly.

"I have you,so why should I have to run the company?" My father asked and I sighed, unable to answer that question.

"Besides, I want to spend more time taking care of my grandchildren." He said again and my eyes widened in shock.

"Grandchildren?" I blurted out even before I could stop myself.

"You're of marriageable age, my son." My father said.

"And I can't leave the company in the hands of a single man." My father faced me.

"Although I hear you're quite the hot stuff or do you want me to set you up with someone?" My father smirked.

"Or is there someone you would like to tell me about?" He asked quietly and I raised my brows.

He sounded like he knew something and it made me feel a bit icky.

"If you succeed in getting married in the next two months, I'll leave the company in your hands." He concluded.

"You can leave now." He said afterwards and I sighed before leaving the room.

#Flashback ends.

As I sat in my private room at club M waiting for her arrival, my phone buzzed and I checked the message I had just received.

"She's here." It read.

I don't know how it is possible that I managed to get here before her but as long as she's here, it doesn't really matter anymore.

If my father wants me to get married in less than two months, then I will.

Besides, the thought of having to spend countless nights with her didn't really seem too bad.

It would simply be killing two birds with one stone.

I watched as she signed the contract and I tried to hide my smile.

"Why don't we go and discuss that in a more private place?" I suggested and although she looked a bit skeptical, she agreed.

I got up from where I was seated and she did the same, getting up from where she was on the floor and following me out of the room.

When we got outside where I had parked my car, I helped her into the car and got in as well.

I was taking her to my place which was safe away from paparazzi and the media.

If the media gets wind of this, the entire internet would be filled with headlines like "Dylan O'Brien caught at club M" or "Alas, the billionaire is quite promiscuous." And I truly don't want the entire world to find out about my little secret.
