chapter 237
-Finn, what are you going to do about it?
He didn’t want Richard to interrupt what he was trying to build, so no, he couldn’t let him make this girl who had wanted to play with him win. He was going to show her that he was the one calling the shots and he was going to win.
-But… but my love, my outfit isn’t appropriate, you know. I can’t accept it like this. I’m not dressed properly.
-I love you the way you are and I want you the way you are, so the rest is just a detail. We’re getting married now and from now on we’ll live together with nothing and no one to bother us.
Elena couldn’t believe that he was going to humiliate her again, and that wasn’t even the worst of it, but the worst of it was that she couldn’t marry a stranger like that. she could see that he was serious and that he’d really be willing to ask the priest to celebrate their marriage, but she couldn’t let that happen. she was just there to cause him harm, not to be dominated. she resumed her act and started crying again. she escaped from Filip’s arms and began to move towards him. He didn’t know what she wanted to do, but it didn’t bode well since she was still crying. He knew that nothing would escape the media’s notice the next day, yet he wanted to know her intentions.
-I understand now. you’re a bastard, a bastard of the worst kind, my dear, and you know what? i hate you, you hear? yes, i hate you as much as anyone has ever hated anyone. how can you ask me to get married in this outfit when you’ve had to free up a full bank account for that woman? you told me i deserved everything that was beautiful, Finn. how could you do such a thing to me? you want to humiliate me in order to marry her afterwards, don’t you? i’m sorry i thought you could still have a heart. i thought i could remind you of our love and our promises, but now i’m sorry, i’m sorry i came, i’m sorry i interrupted such a beautiful ceremony. you can marry her now. I wish you all the best and have beautiful children.
-reassure me you’re not going to end your life,” asked Father Juan, a little worried.
Elena looked at him and then back at Finn. He was confused, and really, everyone believed her, much to his dismay. He wasn’t relieved because he was afraid for her, but he was relieved because he wanted her to explain to him what she’d really done, because until then he hadn’t known what she was up to. When Filip least expected it, she threw herself into his arms and he looked at Finn, silently asking him to come and get his lover back, but he did nothing.
-Am I dreaming, or was her speech that of an ex soaked by the man she loved? asked Alexei of Finn.
an ex? Finn wasn’t so messy as to forget the women he dated. the priest had gone to sit down as Filip was taking her outside. he hoped that as she was leaving, it would also mark the end of this marriage he was making. once outside, Elena hurried from Filip’s arms and wiped away her tears. Filip felt as if he were going into a daze when he saw a gleam of amusement in her eyes. she was clearly laughing at him for God’s sake.
-So how was the scene? I don’t suppose you’ve ever seen a scene in the theater, so I think I put on a very good show for you, and I don’t expect you to thank me for it. It was a real pleasure and another thing; tell that man not to make a fool of me at every turn, because if he does, I’m going to haunt him even more than I did.
She left as Filip watched her figure disappear. He’d just realized one thing: this girl, he’d seen her somewhere before, but the worst thing was, he couldn’t remember where he’d seen her before, and yet he had. He saw no point in going back inside, because really, it wasn’t worth going back in.
-Father, you may proceed with the ceremony,” said Richard.
-Your daughter is about to marry a man who promised another man he’d marry her, so don’t expect me to continue the ceremony. You should be proud of the fact that this young woman has managed to show you the true face of the man your daughter is about to marry, so no, I can’t marry them.
-You just have to declare them husband and wife and that’ll be that. So do it now and stop waiting, that’s all.
-Richard you’re not here in your house so stop yelling at him like you’re doing. he said he’s not going to go through with this ceremony so he’s not going to do it period. you should go home with Virginia because there’s not going to be any more weddings.
She couldn’t believe that everything she’d planned to do was falling through. Finn was really letting him down when she’d planned to let Richard down once she was Finn’s wife and worse, she didn’t want to be in the news like this so no, he couldn’t let her down.
-Finn no you can’t end our marriage. we have to get married whether you like it or not.
Finn looked at her and a smirk appeared on his lips. He knew what this kind of woman wanted from him and he intended to thank her for interrupting the wedding.
-I’m sorry Virginia Savoski, but I can’t marry you because I didn’t want to and I needed this opportunity. Now if you’re worried about the treaty, I’m going to sign the peace treaty with your brother so you don’t have to worry; you can go back to living your princess life in La Paz. Now you have the chance to marry the one you love and not the one they force on you, okay?NôvelDrama.Org content.
-no Finn, i can’t, i already love you and besides, the press Finn, i can’t stand this story if i ever become the target of the media. i can’t then please.
– Then go back to rubbing elbows with Richard like you always have.
Virginia opened her eyes wide in disbelief. He knew, he knew he had a relationship with Richard. She was afraid Dimitri would find out so she couldn’t insist for fear he would threaten her. Richard would kill her for sure, but there was nothing else she could do. she couldn’t force Finn.
-Let’s go Caroline,” Finn said.
Richard held him back by the bars, staring straight into his eyes. He knew Finn didn’t agree with what he was doing, but he didn’t care. After all, he couldn’t be forced to marry a woman he had no use for.
-Finn, you’re like a son to me and I won’t allow you to do something like this. This girl hasn’t done anything to you and you can’t decide to humiliate her like this, Finn. All she wants from you is that you marry her and nothing else.
-No, it’s not difficult for me, but what you don’t understand is that you forgot to tell me that you wanted to give me the girl you’ve been rubbing up against. You said it yourself, I’m like your son, so how can you allow me to marry a woman you yourself allow yourself to touch? I didn’t know it was true, but since the ceremony I’ve noticed the burning look you’re giving her, and what’s worse, I’m sure Dimitri doesn’t know about it, right? So what do you say I let him know that you’ve been screwing him?
Richard began to sweat profusely. No, it couldn’t be possible, he couldn’t see how Finn could have known about this when he’d been so adamant that he didn’t want anyone to know.
-So am I still going to marry her, or would you like me to call Dimitri now?
He couldn’t let Dimitri know about this, because although Finn was often compared to Dimitri, the difference was that Dimitri was ruthless with traitors.
-That’s what I thought,” Finn concluded on his way out.
When he was outside with the others, he saw Filip looking shocked. He couldn’t imagine what could be shocking him so.
-You don’t look well, Filip. -What’s going on?
-she asked me to tell you that the next time you want to make a fool of her, you’d better think she’ll haunt you more than that.
She knew exactly what she was doing and he was angry. She’d only come to get revenge and he was desperate to find her.
-So Finn, it seems you haven’t told us everything. Do you know this girl or not?
-How is it going to help you if I know her or not?
-I feel like I’ve seen her before in our space, so I’d like to know if you know her or not.
-She’s the girl you freed from my dressing room last night. I didn’t think she’d be looking for revenge, and her revenge was pretty useful, wasn’t it? I’ve got to find her, guys, but first I’ve got to go home and wait for the final word from the media.
-But don’t forget one thing dear friend. now that your marriage didn’t work out, you owe us something else and you know what. a submissive at any price.
a submissive at any price. he’d thought they’d gotten past the submissive thing, but now he realized he’d been wrong to think that way. he wondered how he was going to find a submissive who would let him dominate her. digging deep in his mind, he thought his lover could play that role, but first he had to find her.
-Shall we go now?
-Finn, I’ve got something to tell you. I’d tracked down the young lady you asked me about and we had an interview today. at the last minute she cancelled, but I didn’t think I’d find her here, pretending to be your ex. would you like me to invite her again or not?
he could still see her, and in her den, since she still needed a job. what better way than to say yes. he nodded to Caroline and left with the boys.
-I hope you’ve got somewhere to sleep, Virginia, because you’re practically useless to me and I still don’t see why I’m keeping you with me. for one thing I asked you to do, you couldn’t, so what?
-But Richard, you’re not going to pretend that you’re very happy about this marriage. You’re only interested in your own interests and nothing else, so stop pretending that it hurts you enough. You’ve always got me, your doll.
-but except that you’re a useless doll if not just good for fucking, but except that on this day, i wanted you to be useful to me, yes more useful. you know who? you’re right, since i couldn’t have my interests in this marriage, you’ll bring me something else. what do you say if i open a brothel where you’ll be the only queen of the house? it’ll still be fun, won’t it?
she looked at the monster in front of her and thought she deserved better than him. he was ready to make her a commodity on which anyone could come and drain his balls, when she was supposed to be his alone. she now hated the girl who had put an end to her wedding ceremony.
