Chapter 13

“ Colt…. “ I stuttered. 

“ Yes. “ He stared at me coldly. I quickly looked down, not wanting to be rude.

“ Nice to meet you, Sir. I’m… “ I wanted to introduce myself formally but he cut me off.

“ Annabeth Chandler. I know who you are. Colton has been talking about you everyday. “ He said and that made me smile a little.

“ Are you dating my grandson? “ He asked bluntly. I looked up at him and slowly nodded.

“ So you must know that he is my only heir then. “

“ Yes. “ I slowly nodded again.

“ You know, I’m really grateful that you’ve always been there for my grandson when that poor little child lost his mother. I’m also sorry for your lost. “ He said calmly and I smiled brightly at him, feeling really happy that his grandfather was not as scary as I thought he would be.

“ But this has to stop. “ He blurted out and my smile slowly faded away.

“ Wh… What? “ I asked softly.

“ You and Colton. With you around, Colton will never be able to climb all the way to the top and be the most powerful man in the business industry. He needs someone who can be by his side and help him. " 

“ That someone… “ I stopped and hesitated whether I should say that. “ Are you talking about Olivia? “

“ Yes. “ Colton’s grandfather laughed at the mention of Olivia. He must love her so much.

“ You’re not needed in Colton’s life. “ He stopped laughing and said.

“ And how do you know that? “ I started fidgeting my fingers.

“ Trust me. I know. Colton only needs me and Olivia. “ He took out a piece of paper from his drawer and placed it on the table. “ Leave him and this is all yours. “ He smirked when my eyes widen while looking at the cheque.

“ What is this supposed to mean? 3 million dollar? Do you know what you’re doing? Does Colton know this? “ I asked, trying not to cry. No. I’m not going to show him how weak I am inside. I am going to be strong. For Colton.

“ Oh Annabeth, Colton doesn’t need to know your deal with me. I know what you are after. But this 3 million dollar is enough for you to do whatever you want. Nobody cares. I just ask that you leave him. Get out of his life and never come back. “

“ No. I am never going to take this. Never in my life. I love Colton. I truly love him. You can rest assure because I’m not after his wealth. No matter how poor I am, I will never be that kind of person. “ I placed the cheque back on the table in front of him.

“ Who do you think you are to reject this amount of money? Do you think I would easily pay someone this much? If not for Colton and his future… “ I cut him off.

“ If you truly care for him and his future, you would never do that. You would never force his loved ones to leave him. “

“ Colton not only has his mother’s intelligence, he also has his mother’s stubbornness. Both of them are so stubborn, and stupid. For falling in love with someone who doesn’t even stand up to our standard. “

“ Did you do this to Colton’s father as well? Force him to leave Colton’s mother as well? Do you honestly think every girl who loves your grandson is only after his wealth? Do you really think Colton wouldn’t know it if I’m only after his wealth? “ I asked boldly, not bothering what his grandfather thinks of me anymore. To me, Colton is my priority.
