THORN'S

chapter 1

ASHER POV

Sir, your father would like a word with you in his office Robert said as he made his way back out of the big oak door.

what does he want now?

I sighed thinking what the hell he wants as I viewed the dinning room making my way to his office. I didn't bother knocking on the door as I just walked in taking a seat across from him.

"Hello, son there is an important discussion, I would like to discuss with you."

I could feel the atmosphere in the office tense ,and at that moment I knew the discussion was something I wouldn't like

"Go on, I don't have all day" I said as I stirred around in the seat feeling uncomfortable.

"As you may know our company is not doing well, so someone has offered us their help by uniting their company with ours to make them both stronger."

"Our company , I'm sorry father but that's not my problem that's your company not mine. Why does this involve me?"

"I'm not done, as I was saying they're willing to offer us their help, but in order to put our companies together you, and his daughter would have to get an arranged marriage."

It like my ears were gonna explode by the news. That I have just received.

"WHAT! I don't think I heard right , did you say I have to marry his daughter?"

"Yes, I'm glad to know your ears are working for you" He said

I ignored his comment, "Why can't you just drop this company, you have a lot more of them anyways" I shouted, feeling my body shake.

"Who is this someone?" I asked wanting to know who he was gonna sell me off to.

"Mr.Voldemort"

"Mr.Voldemort? As in the one who lives in London?"

"Yes, I think you are referring to the one I'm talking about" He spoke as he opened his desk cabinet pulling out a cigarette.

"So you want me to marry his daughter to bring your company higher!"

"It's only a 3 year agreement" He said as if it wasn't a big deal.

"I don't give a shit if its only a 3 year agreement. We don't even know each other, I didn't even know Mr.Voldemort had a daughter. I'm sorry but I won't do it" I spoke making my way towards the door.

"So you would rather give up everything I and your mother have built" He said in a calm voice.

Just by hearing my mother being mentioned made my whole body freeze minutes passed, It felt like hours. The words left out my mouth before I could even recognize them.

"I'll marry her."

"I'm delighted about your decision, now come and have a seat with me I'm not finished with what I have to say" He said in a joyful voice.

I took a seat, back in my original place.

"We would meet them tomorrow morning, you will sign the document of y'all marriage after that y'all both would take y'all place as a married couple. y'all would live together and so on so forth until the 3 years are over y'all both can go y'all separate ways if y'all choose."

"Do we really have to live together?"

"Of course, don't tell me when you planned on finding your wife you were planning on living in different houses?"

"What if she is hideous?"

"Then don't look at her" My father said with a sign making me know I was annoying him with all the questions.
