Tatiana Kamerie

I walked into my dad's office and he got up from his seat when he saw me. I walked to him with anger ready to crush him into pieces.

"I want you to give the money back to Deandre." I said seriously and he shook his head.

"Tatiana, it's our only way to say the company."

"You sold me to him without even hearing my side! Is this company more important to you than your own daughter?" I bursted big time and he sighed.

"He's rich and you'll be happy." He said simply like it's nothing.

"Dad! I love Eric and I can't believe you trade me for money.. that's crazily insane."

"Just use him.. you can get all his money by marrying him." He said as he looked at me seriously. I can't believe my dad just said that. I scoffed big time and looked away from him for a second and then turned back to him.

"Use him? Dad! We can't use someone like that! I'm not marrying him and that's it.. I want you to give him back the money.. we can find a way to-"

"There's no other way!" My dad cut me and that got me good. Tears came out from my eyes. I still can't believe my dad pick money over me. We still can find a way to get the company back stable but instead of doing that.. he took a big shortcut to get it.

"Is money everything for you?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Just get married with him.. he's rich and he will make sure you won't starve or-"

"I don't care about the money!"

"I CARE, TATIANA!" He bursted angrily at me and that was enough to keep my mouth shut.

"You just lost your daughter, dad. I can't believe you're doing this to me." I said completely disappointed.

"Take all the money and I hope you're happy that your company is back on track." I said in a sarcastic tone. I turned my body and walked to the door. I sighed and walked out. My dad didn't even try to say a word or try to talk to me.

"Tatiana.. let's talk." Eric was already waiting for me. I nodded lightly and he led me to his office.

"I'm sorry, Tatiana." He said and I looked up to him.

"Sorry for what?"

"I wasn't thinking at that time.. I shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry. Let's start over again, okay?" He said and I sighed.

"I need time.. I still can't process everything right now. It came all to me like a tornado." I said honestly and he nodded. He walked close to me, closing the gap between us and he hugged me.

"I'm sorry. Please talk to me after you clear your head." He said and then he kissed my forehead. I nodded lightly and walked out from his office room. My eyes widened when I saw Deandre come out from the lift bringing 4 people with him.

I ran to him and stopped him before he reached my dad's office.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I spread my hands out.

"Move!" He hissed coldly.

"What are you doing?" I asked once again and he shoved me to the side. I stopped him before he can open my dad's office.

"Please stop.."

"I'm a man with my words, Tatiana. I never play with things that I said." He said seriously and he looked with angry, crazy, sexy eyes. I took a really deep breath.

"Please.." I begged because I know how much my dad loves his company. I know he literally traded me for the sake of his company but I don't I can bare to see my dad go crazy and depressed because of it.

"Get out of my way, Tatiana." Deandre said coldly to me. I closed the gap between us and I cupped his face and crashed my lips to his. I kissed him slowly.

"I'll marry you.. I will marry you if you want to marry this second." I said looking right into his eyes.

"Tatiana." I turned my head to see Eric looking at me speechless. I looked at him with a really mix emotion inside my heart.

"If you change your mind one more time.. I will crush your dad that second, Tatiana." Deandre whispered to my ear and I turned to him. He's currently smirking to Eric.

"You bastard! You're the on-"

"Stop.. Eric." I said and Eric stopped walking.

"I love you so much but I can't believe you and my dad give me away-"

"He only wants your company, babe. He doesn't want you and by the way.. your ex-fiance here has been cheating on you with a girl named Jesslyn." Deandre said in a small tone but it was loud enough for Eric to hear it too. I looked at Eric completely broken-hearted.

"I don't think I need to ask you if it's true or not because I realize it now." I scoffed looking at him.

"Tatiana.. listen to me first! How come you trust him more than me?!" He bursted.

"You're the one who suggested that I marry him and then later on get a divorce.. You love money more than me, that's so obvious. I hope you and my dad are happy that you get all the happiness now!" I said and suddenly Deandre held my hand tightly. I turned to him and he looked at me softly. I sighed.

"You deserve more than this jerk, babe." Deandre said and I glared at him too.

'You're a damn crazy psycho jerk too! You and him are the same! D*ckface!' I hissed and cursed him with all the curse words out there inside my heart. Deandre intertwined his hands with mine. I looked down and he pulled me away from Eric and away from my dad's office. We walked into the lift and he released his hand.

"Don't try to play with me, Tatiana. You won't like it."

Deandre Romeo

I got out of my car and walked into my house. My eyes landed on Tatiana's back right away. She was sitting on the bench facing the garden. She looked up to the sky blankly. It was like she's looking for something up there.

I remembered our first meeting 7 months ago. We met at the bar and she's drunk and sober at the same time which was pretty interesting to watch. She sat on the table beside mine and she was talking to her friends like a drunk woman. She talked about Eric like he's a prince charming.

She was so happy until she stood on the table and all eyes on her. She was dancing and calling Eric like she's reading a mantra. Me and my friends talked again when suddenly she came to our table. She pointed her index finger at me and smiled.

She introduced herself and then she walked back to her table. We all laughed seeing her and after that we ignored her presence again. At some point, I got up and walked to the toilet. I heard someone crying and I walked to the corner of the hallway.

I saw Tatiana crying there sitting on the ground. She looked up to me and she wiped her tears quickly. She got up from the ground and then she walked away.

"Tatiana! Are you okay?" I saw her friends get her.. so her name is Tatiana huh? I texted my private investigator to find more information about her. In an hour, my investigator texted me back that she's Tatiana Kamerie.

My heart crushed right away knowing that she's a Kamerie. I hate Kamerie with all of my life, soul and every inch of my cells. Ever since that day, I started to find out more about Tatiana and here I am.. I'm currently holding her fate in the palm of my hand.

"Why are you doing this to me?" She asked when I walked out to the garden. I just stayed silent because why should I answer that?

"Imagine that the girl that you love.. is forced to get married with someone else.. What will you do?"

"Love does exist but I hate it." I said simply with a really boring tone.

"I don't care if you hate it.. but I believe in it. I love Eric and I can't live without him... well it was before I heard he cheated on me."

"You're too dumb not to realize that he's using you to take over your dad's company."

"He treated me so well.. and he even got me a diamond ring." She said and I laughed dryly.

"You're so pathetic. Guys are all douchebags and you still believe a good guy exist? There's no good guys left in this world." I said.

"You too right?"

"Babe, I'm a mafia. I kill people for a living." I said and I turned to her. Her jaw dropped and she looked at me in disbelief. She gulped nervously and I saw her shaking a little bit.

"A mafia?" Ex-mafia actually.. It's fun to see her get scary.

"Are you going to kill my dad?" She asked and I nodded. That's the truth though, I will kill her dad.

"What?!"

"After your dad, you are next." I smirked.

"He's lying.. He's far from a mafia." I turned my head to Lucas. What the fuck is he doing here?

"He's not a mafia?" Tatiana asked Lucas and Lucas shook his head.

"He's just messing with you.. I'm Lucas by the way, his best friend." Lucas smiled and put his hands in front of her. She shook it.

"I'm Tatiana." She said.

"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked him and he gave me a file. I took it from him and he patted my arm.

"Where's Crystal?" I asked him.

"She's in Florida."

"You're Crystal's boyfriend?" Tatiana asked.

"Yup.. You know her?" Lucas pretended and Tatiana nodded.

"Go.. you're interrupting me." I hissed at him and Lucas smirked. I pushed him and he bid his goodbye to Tatiana briefly. I looked at the file and then walked back into the living room.

"Deandre.. What if you meet someone you love and you're married to me.. later on you can't do anything right?" Tatiana asked in a really careful tone as she sat across me. I looked up to her.

"I will divorce you and be with her.. but that's impossible because I don't have a heart." I said in a cold tone.

"Wow.. you do think girls like they're your property."

"I do." I said as I put all my attention to the file that Lucas gave me earlier.

"Well you force me to marry you because my dad has your money.. you will get a benefit but what will I get?"

"Me? Get a benefit? What benefit?" I asked as I looked at her. She was speechless.

"If you think.. you're the benefit that I have.. I don't see you as one. You will get a benefit that is to marry a guy like me.. you should feel lucky and blessed." I smirked and turned my head to the files.

"You know.. we can fall in love in the middle of the process.." She said and I raised my eyebrows. I laughed dryly and then looked up to her again. I walked to her and looked at her right in her eyes.

"You read too many romance novels and watch too many romance movies.. Let me tell you something, Kamerie, everything you watch in romance movies.. they're all fake and there's no such thing as true love and spend your whole life with that person. Be realistic.. Tatiana." I said as I caressed her cheek with the back of my fingers.

"You're a fucking asshole!" She hissed as she pushed my hand away.

"You'll see.. I will make you regret picking me!" She pointed her index finger at my chest and then turned her body around.

"You won't dare to say that later on, Tatiana." I said and she stopped walking. She turned to me glaring and I think she was going to say something but she holds it.

"You and your dad will be on your knees begging.. one day.." I hissed whispering..
