Chapter 1 Marriage conspiracy

I will not marry that impotent man, no matter how rich he and his family are." Stacey yelled at her parents. Her mother also did not want to see her daughter get in this kind of a marriage.

Her mother was an opportunist. The reason why she invested so much on her daughter was because she wanted to remain rich till she dies.

She knew that in order to have enough in life, to last till death was if you produce an heir. So how could she allow her daughter marry someone that cannot impregnant her.

The fact that he was impotent was a sign that he will not inherit the family business anymore. Since that was the case then she should let her daughter stick to the fish she has recently caught.

The father was also reluctant, he had always imagined himself playing with his grandchildren on amusement park. He has always dreamt of having more children because he was the only child but fate did not grant him his dream.

For him it was never about money or inheritance. He just wanted to have grandchildren and he wanted to avoid any scandalous news.He knew very well that his daughter was sexual active. Marrying someone that could not satisfy her would lead to her cheating which will cause a huge commotion between the two families.

When he thinks about the fact that the two families made a marriage alliance when the children were young, he felt his heart grow heavy. Whatever ideas they come up with, it definitely has to be good ideas that will not drag down the family name as that will also have a huge impact on the family businesses.

He tried to wreck his brain, thinking of a solution for this problem but the truth of the matter is he was running out of time. They were only left with two days before the marriage.

His beloved daughter has already threatened him that he will kill herself if they forced her to this marriage. "Hubby, the contract that was signed back then, did it have the children's names?"

While he was still thinking of a solution, he heard his wife ask such a question. He looked at his wife with a complicated look, trying to read his wife's mind before she could speak.

He wanted to understand what she meant by asking such but he failed to read her mind. So he had no choice but to reply with a no. There is one thing he was sure of, whatever plan his wife comes up with, will definitely not affect the family business since she loves money more than anything.

He saw his wife's eyes lit up, her smile even reached her ears because of joy. "Oh that is perfect, I finally have an idea, why don't we let Michelle take Stacey's place. We can at least defend ourselves with that it was not specified which granddaughter of the Richards will marry into the Anderson family. The fact that she is the first born will make us have more "

There was complete silence after she spoke. Stacey was overjoyed when she heard her mom say such, she looked at her father, trying to read her father's expression.

She saw her father frown but quickly covered the frown with a smile. Then he said " I don't know if father will agree to this, it might make his illness worse." Mrs Richard had already expected this reply. She has already quickly formulated a plan that will work.

She smiled and said "hubby do not worry about the old man, we will make sure he does not know this until the preacher says you may kiss the bride, by then it will be too late to stop the wedding. In order for both families to not lose face in the wealthy society.

They will accept this. After all I do not think they all know which girl will we give them." Mr Richard accepted this new idea,.

He was the one that pampered Stacey more than anyone after all, for Stacey he would do anything to make her happy.

The way he pampered this girl made it impossible for him to keep her as a secret to his wife by then, who was Michelle's mom.

He used to lie that he was going for a business trip while in actual fact he was taking his mistress and illegitimate daughter out of the country for vacation.

Although Michelle's mom was also a business woman who was very busy too but the moment her husband stopped taking them to places like the amusement park she started suspecting him.

Although they were both busy with the businesses but they both made an agreement that no matter how busy they were, they will always spare some time for their daughter.

Even though their marriage was arranged by both families. He did play his part as a husband at first. Michelle's mom died while still blaming herself for her failed marriage.

When Michelle's mom asked him about it, he would be so defensive that it made Michelle's mom confirm her suspicions.

Receiving photos of the three having a picnic happily when he had said he was going for a business trip was just a cherry on top.

After her investigation she found out that it was that woman who hired people to take pictures of her and him then send it to her so she can file for divorce.

But that woman under estimated because when she signed that marriage contract she vowed that she will not divorce her husband no matter what. She vowed that only death will separate them.

The photos she received were not the only thing that the woman did to break them up. One day her husband came back home from a business dinner with lipstick on the shirt collar. There was also a time when she found under wear on the bag that he used when traveling to a business conference. She ignored all of that because she knew her husband better than anyone. He was not aware of all these things that the woman was sending to her.

Chapter 2 Invited to the family dinner

In the evening a helper came to Michelle who was in her bedroom to tell her that it was time for dinner, she looked at the helper with a so what look. Then the helper told her that her father has called her to come have dinner with them. The helper saw that she had lots of questions for her so she continued to say "I do not have answers to your questions, if you have any questions it would be best you ask your so called parents."

Michelle hated being in this house because even the helpers had no respect for her. She had no choice though, once she takes her time to get to the dining room, she might be spanked for being late. When she got to the table, she found that they were all sitting and waiting for her.

She was very surprised to be called for dinner because for the first time in a long time they wanted to have dinner with her. She felt like her eyes were starting to get wet. She held herself from crying because they will make fun of her once they see that.

Ever since her grandfather was admitted to the hospital, the family of three made a rule that she was not allowed to eat with them, she was only allowed to eat after they have eaten so why did they call her today? she wondered.

She was suddenly afraid, her hand was shaking but luckily her hands were in the pocket of the jacket she was wearing otherwise her step sister would have made fun of her.

She knew that nothing good will come out from this dinner. After looking at their faces trying to read them, she looked at the table with a shocked face.

Every dish that was on the table was her favourite. "Ah wait what is going on? why do they have my favourite dishes on the table? why are they going an extra mile for me today?" These are just a few questions she thought to herself.

"Sit, we have been waiting for you for more than five minutes, let us eat before the food get cold" her father said. Mrs Richard looked at her with a smile then said "I asked aunty Lee to prepare your favourite dishes today, sit and enjoy."

How could she enjoy such a meal when they are all of a sudden so friendly to her, this was something they have never done. What could be the meaning of this, what could make them change the way they treated her. This was not good. These are thoughts that all came to her mind the moment they told her to sit.

Even when her grandfather was still around one could tell by the looks on their faces that they were always disgusted to have her eat with them especially the mother and daughter pair.

If it was not because the old man always had a final say in this house. She would have died a long time ago because of hunger. Sometimes after dinner the mother and daughter pair would make some helpers to sit and eat while watching them just to make sure that she gets nothing when she comes down to eat.

She sat down and ate her food but halfway through the meal her father told her that she will be the one to get married to Mr Anderson.

"Your sister has a boyfriend and she is now pregnant, there is no way we can let her marry into the Anderson family now that she is like this, so you are the only remaining daughter besides Stacey." He spoke like this was just a simple problem that can be sorted out this way.

Michelle was very silent, she thought to herself these people do not care about me, do they know that marriage is not a game you can play with then stop when you want, this is a lifetime commitment and they want me to commit myself just like that. Am I not supposed to be given a chance to choose what I want in my life. It is so sad that in this life I will never get to choose what I want to do, I will always have people choosing things for me. After seeing my mom being treated like trash by her own husband I vowed that I will never marry but now my father is pushing the wedding down my throat. He is not even giving me a choice to choose. Has this man ever considered me as his daughter, why is he always giving Stacey a choice to choose of she wants something or not. And I am not allowed to choose. Why are they giving me the man that is known as cold hearted, and impotent man in the society?

While she was still deep in her thoughts she heard her stepmother say "Oh just so you know this is not an option, we are telling you what will happen. So you better get back to your room pack your bags and get ready to leave the day after tomorrow.

When she got to her room, she went to her jewellery box took her mom and grandfather's photos. She sat on the bed and cried hysterically. She knew that if these two were here, they would protect her from these people.

She wished she had a way of escaping this place, but every time she thinks of this she would be stopped by the thought of her grandfather dying of heartbreak once he discovers that she is nowhere to be found.

She knew that she has no choice but to do as they say. She took her suitcase, packed her mom's favourite jewellery, a few personal belongings that was bought by her mother before she died and some things she packed had been bought by her grandfather. She decided that whatever that was bought by her father, she will leave it here because she does not want anything that will remind her of how badly she was treated in her father's house and he did nothing to protect her.

Chapter 3 Wedding must go on

In the Anderson family mansion the day before the wedding. The old man has called Daniel in the study to force him to attend the wedding. The old man was pacing back and forth with his walking stick and his right hand man could not do anything to make him sit still.

Then suddenly Daniel walked in and said "old man my time is too precious, I hope you stick to the point." The atmosphere in the study room was zero after he has said that, both men were stubborn people in nature. The old man has vowed today that he will make his grandson bow down to his decision as an elder.

"Old man that car crash was not an accident, instead of collecting enough evidence to arrest those responsible for that accident you decide to bring a new person to this dysfunctional family" said Daniel.

The old man was almost angered to death by Daniel's words, if it was not for the fact that he loved his grandson so much he would have beaten the hell out of him. Daniel was well aware of the soft spot the old man had for him which is why he spoke in such manner. He was bold enough because he knew his grandfather very well better than anyone.

"Daniel this marriage will help you a lot. I am old there are things you may not understand because you are young but you will thank me later. Tomorrow at 10:00 AM make sure you are in the chapel, you have never disappointed me do not start now" the old man said.

Daniel looked at the old man with a face full of anger, he wished that the earth could bury him.

The truth of the matter is that as much as he does not like what his grandpa has done, this old man has always been treating him like a treasure, but he has never liked that girl from the Richard family. He has seen her having sex with an old classmate in a club.

For her to have sex in a public place with no care in the world of who sees her, just shows that she is a girl who did not have good moral values. She was a girl well known to be as a social butterfly. He was not a man that wanted a girl that was known that as long as you have money, she will give you what you crave for.

The thought of that scene made him feel like vomiting. He did not understand why his grandfather would choose a girl that is well known for having multiple sex partners.

"Grandpa I know you mean well but I will not be able to marry Stacey, I have seen that girl in a club having sex with two men" said Daniel with a voice that one could tell that it was full of anger but he managed to suppress it.

"Oh my dearest grandson, I would never let you marry that kind of a girl" his grandpa said with a face full of smiles.

Daniel became confused, he was even more confused when he saw the happy smile from his grand father. "John take me back to my room, I need to rest tomorrow will be a very good day" the old man said.

John supported the old man and took him back to his room. When they got there, John wanted to say something but he did not know how to say it because he knew that the intense conversation the old man had with Daniel has made him tired.

The old man could see John's expression. John has followed him for over 20 years, he could tell that he wanted to say something. "Speak" the old man said.

"Master I still do not understand why you have so much confidence that the Richard family will not send Stacey. I do not want to imagine what would happen if they send that girl to this family" John said.

The old man looked at John and said "Oh John I definitely know that since that old man is admitted to the hospital that opportunistic son and daughter in law of his will never allow their precious daughter marry an impotent man. Those two will want their daughter get pregnant very soon so that they can have a lifetime insurance.

The reason why I spread rumors that my grandson is impotent, it is because I want them to give me the best. I have heard from them that the illegitimate daughter is doted by the old man. But I have known that man since we were young, that old man would never dote on someone that behaves like Stacey. It could only mean one thing, the girl they call illegitimate should be Michelle. That woman probably spread bad rumours about Michelle so that people can love her daughter more, little does she know that we all know she is a homewrecker. Even those that act like her friends always make sure their husbands are not left alone with her for fear of her snatching them".

John nodded indeed the master was right. That girl called Stacey was known in the whole city that if you were hungry and had nothing to eat, she will always be available whether old or young she did not look at that as long as you will offer her what she wanted at that time.

If the first son of the Anderson family marries such a girl no one in this city or country will ever respect him. He will lose his dignity in this country. They needed a girl who can be strong, behaves well and one that will help him raise his standards.

Daniel and Michelle's marriage will make them more stronger and they will not be shaken by anyone or anything.

John wondered though why the old man had so much confidence that there was no way they will make Stacey the bride.

This kind of confidence the old man usually has it when he has a second plan. The question remains what plan did the old man have that he did not know of?
