"Good morning Mom and Dad" I greeted my parents as I reached downstairs.
"Good morning my girl,how was your night"? my dad asked,he was fond of calling me my girl since I was little, "it was fine Dad " I replied as I went closer to hug him, smiling gently at him then my mom asked too, and I replied "it was fine Mom".
"I can see you are ready for work " my mom asked yes momma I replied. "Bye mom I don't wanna be late" I replied rushing out .
My name is Ella I just bagged a degree in accounting two months ago ,I'm just 20 and the only child of my parents. As the heiress to the company,I choose to work there so as to familiarize myself with the company.
I reached the company with my car at 8:30 ,employees were trooping in to work each of them saying a good morning as they walked past
me,I got in the CEO'S elevator and headed straight to the 30th floor,Nella corporation was the name of our company,one of the biggest in the whole of our state with only Stuart corporation to compete with.

I reached my office settled down and proceeded to work for the day.
In the afternoon my phone buzzed,it was my dad he asked me to come over to his office,I stood up arranged my work attire and headed out .
Knock,knock "come in"my father responded and I opened the door,My jaw dropped at the sight of the man on the sofa, he was drop dead gorgeous with a perfect jawline and well built body,he looked like models who walked the runways.
"Stop staring ".
My dad's words jolted me back to reality.
I...I.. I'm not staring dad I stammered My dad smiled he knew me too well,"okay then meet Andrew Stuarts heir to the Stuarts corporation and your fiance to be".
"WHAT " I screamed, marriage?? "dad are you joking" calm down Ella I'll explain could you at least say hi my dad asked.
"Hi" I said reluctantly and shyly,he looked up then stretched his hand out for a handshake "I'm Andrew Stuarts and you??" I'm Ella Nelson I replied,"Okay then nice to meet you".
Then he turned to my dad with an unfanthomable expression and said "see she doesn't look happy either,none of us wants the marriage forcing us won't work you better tell my father that " he said and confidently strode out the office.
I sat down on the sofa quietly waiting for my dad to explain, "My girl" he called me, I nodded My throat tightened, and no sound came out.
I was just shocked beyond words "Please" he said shocking me my dad would never beg but he did which made extremely nervous.
Then he dropped the bombshell,our company was on the verge of bankruptcy the only available solution was to collaborate with the Stuarts and what they demanded was that I marry their son.
"Dad" I called out "how could you do this??" "everybody talks about how ruthless and brutal that guy is and you want me to marry him , that monster " I screamed with tears running down my cheeks , Ella please do this for me please " my dad begged I couldn't bear to see him like this "okay " I said reluctantly "I will marry him"
"Thank you"my dad sobbed hugging me close while I cried my eyes out .
