Seducing My Heartless Husband

“Engaged?” Marina asked just go be sure her Dad wasn’t confused.

” Yes Marina, when are the two of you getting engaged?” He repeated his question, this time slowly enunciating each word for his daughter to understand. Not that she was slow to understand, he could tell she was trying to evade the topic.

” Dad, don’t you think it’s too early for that?” Marina asked.

” What do you mean by it’s early. Are you planning to ditch him that’s why you don’t want to be tied to him?” Mr Santos asked sternly.

” What are you saying dad, stop imagining things.” Marina replied avoiding eye contact with her Dad.

Mr Santos narrowed his eyes on her. He can smell something fishy from his daughter’s side. Is it true she wants to break off with this fine man that’s why she’s against the engagement thing?

” If that’s it then we have to set the engagement date. Young man, I’ll come discuss this matter with your grandfather.” Mr Santos said turning to look at Lucas.

” We will accept your arrangements father.” Lucas replied immediately with a serious tone.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Hearing his reply, Marina almost vomited blood. follow arrangements? What arrangements? They ain’t even a couple so how could they get engaged?

Lucas turned to look at Marina only to find her sending daggers to him. He very much enjoyed her current expressions. She looked cute when pissed off.

One could wonder Why Lucas readily agreed to Mr Santos words of arranging for their engagement. He wanted to trap her to himself and exert his revenge on her. He wanted to punish her for acting indifferent towards him but most importantly, it’s because he has been receiving pressure from his family to get married. He was thirty this year, at the prime of his youth.

It was about time he got married and settled down and she was the best candidate so far. She was an interesting soul and he was sure marrying her would be a good choice. Besides, his family was well acquainted with the Santos family so she will be readily accepted in the family.

Coupled with the fact that she was able to evoke feelings of wanting to dominate and possess, he figured out that he was definitely developing some feelings towards her so it was good if they could spend some time together to cultivate these feelings.

” Good, that’s settled then. You two just need to be together and probably give us some grandchildren as soon as possible. We will handle the rest, no need to worry.” Mr Santos said happily.

He was quite pleased with his son-in-law.

” Daddy!” marina shrieked. She couldn’t believe what her father was saying. What grandchildren? they were obviously pretending to be together.

She turned to look at the man besides her to help her out but it seemed like he was enjoying her being in such a difficult position .

He was sitting there nonchalantly with his expressionless face like this discussion didn’t concern him.

Marina was instantly enraged. The way the man was acting, it seems like he had expected this. And that’s very true, Lucas had expected today’s visit to come to this. He knew Mr Santos well and how protective he was to his precious daughter. The moment he heard that he requested her to bring her boyfriend home, he knew for sure if Marina did not bring someone remarkable back, her father will arrange a marriage for her with the man of her choice. With that in mind, he plotted how she will bring him home instead of another lousy man like she intended to do.

The moment she asked him to go with her, he didn’t make things hard for her because he had just weaved a trap for her and she blindly fell for it.

when Marina was thinking that she managed to successfully trap him, Lucas was rejoicing of how easy it was for her to fall to his trap.

He intended to trap her to himself forever.

” What daddy! Marina, you are all grown up now. I have never asked you to do anything for me. I always let you do whatever you wanted. You are my only daughter and the future heir to my company. I know you are not interested in the company affairs since you have your own company, I won’t force you. But I can’t let my years of hardwork go to waste. That’s why I want you to get a man for yourself, he will help you in managing the company before your kids grow up and take over. I don’t think I have many years here to always pamper you my princess.” Mr Santos said seriously and Marina could deny that what he was saying was true.

Since she was a small girl, her father had pampered her and let her do whatever it is that she wanted. He never for once forced her to do whatever it is she didn’t want to. Even when she decided to start her own law firm, her father gave her his full support. He has been an important pillar in her success.

She figured out it’s about time she take her life and duties seriously. Her father wasn’t Young anymore, he should be staying at home and enjoying his life with a pretty woman by his side. Thinking about it, she realized that she has been unfilial to her father.

” Okay father, I will listen to you.” Marina replied.

” That’s my good daughter, come give daddy a hug.” Mr Santos said. He just emotionally blackmailed her and it worked though whatever he said was very true. Now that he’s Old, all he wants to do is take a break from the company and go travelling around. He also wanted to look for the grave of his other daughter and lover and pay respects to them. He wanted to apologize to her for not trusting her enough to see that his parents were manipulating the truth. He also wanted to thank her for blessing him with the most wonderful daughter ever.

Marina lunged towards her dad and threw herself in his arms hugging him tightly.

She has decided to help her father in handling the company and allow him to have ample time to rest.
