CRYSTAL'S P.O.V. :

His words are constantly ringing in my mind. I just couldn't understand how can a heartless man like him possess a mind that can think such beautiful words?

Today I'll talk to dad to end my engagement. I don't know how but I'll have to do it because of Kayon and also because of Sam's rejection. So I headed towards my dad's study room. He is there doing some work. I knocked and he told me to come in.

After sitting on a chair I took a deep breath and said, "dad I need to talk to you about my engagement. That day when Sam took me on a date he told me that I am not his type and he was forced to get engaged to me. Uncle Jones threatened to disinherit him if he didn't get engaged to me and this is the only reason that he agreed. He doesn't even want to change his playboy life for me. Dad, he told me to find a way to end this engagement without telling uncle Jones about his confession or to get prepared for handling a disloyal husband for a lifetime and to be true I don't want that. So tell me dad do you still want me to marry him or will you somehow break this engagement?"

Dad is just looking at me with shocked expressions. I saw his eyes becoming wet. When he is about to reply just then my mom came in and informed dad that his boss came to visit him. I got shocked and asked mom, "wh.. who came?"

Mom just shrugged and told, "your fathers boss Kayon Pride has come to visit your father."

Dad looked at both of us with a confused look. Just a few minutes ago I dropped a bomb on him and now his boss came and gave him another shock. After thinking for a while he replied, "Send him here Amy."

Mom went out and I too headed towards my room. I then changed into something presentable. After washing my face and changing clothes I combed my hair and tied them in a ponytail. Know I am just waiting for dad's call as I know exactly why that jerkhead came here. Thank God I told dad about Sam's view about our engagement or else dad would have rejected that jerkhead's offer and God knows what he might have done then.

MARCOS P.O.V. :

I found it hard to believe what crystal told me. It's not like I doubt her words but I found it hard to believe that Sam can say such words. I thought Sam is just like his dad and so I agreed with Jones to get these two engaged but I was wrong. Know here before I can recover from this shocking news, my boss came to visit me. I think today is not my day as who knows what's the reason behind his visit?

"Hello, Mr Grey." Kayon sir greeted me entering my study room although it should have been the other way round.

"Hello to you too sir. Please have a seat." I replied and he sat on the vacant chair.

"I will straight away go to the point Mr Grey, I came here to ask a favour from you in return for the money as you promised me." Kayon sir told me.

"May I know sir what's that favour?" I asked half-heartedly as his expressions were giving me some negative vibes.

He replied, "I want your daughter to work in your place in your absence and....."
