My Bad Boy Husband

CHAPTER 3

"You know that girl?" asked Garvin who was one of the witnesses as soon as Elena disappeared. He turned to Keenan who was still glued to his spot. "She said she would throw you in jail."

Keenan glared, his knife-sharp eyes staring at the door where the foreign girl named Elena had come out with an angry expression.

“I am the sole heir of the Hugo Company, no one would dare drag me into prison.” His voice was as cold as Antarctic Sea ice. He glanced at his friends briefly before saying, "Even if it's my father."

As he said, Keenan is indeed the only heir to the company which has tens of millions of dollars in assets. Everything that smells of luxury and first-class goods has been embedded in every inch of his skin since he was born into the world and that is the factor that makes Keenan Hugo the crown prince so arrogant and very difficult to manage.

His father had started to be tough on him ever since Keenan was growing up because he was the only one who would inherit the large company his family runs. Instead of getting better, Keenan's bad attitude only got worse. Now, he has turned into a female player.

“Keen, is this yours?”

Keenan turned to Arthur and turned to the object he was holding. He gasped when he realized that what Arthur was holding was a book with the Hugo Company logo on it.

"It's definitely not mine," he tilted his head in surprise, "Maybe it's the girl from earlier." Keenan took it, suddenly he thought of something. Could that girl be a spy sent by his father to find out about all his night activities?

Keenan threw the book into the trash in the corner of the room.

"Rubbish," he hissed coldly. "It's not interesting anymore, I'm home," said Keenan as he took his car keys which had been lying on the table.

"Then how about me?" complained Adeline, the girl in the red dress who had made out with him. It has been almost two months since Adeline Latisha has been his date. This was his longest relationship considering he never lasted more than a week with any woman he dated. Somehow they fit each other very well.

"Sorry. We can continue it another time. I will come to your place,” Keenan still had time to kiss Adeline's lips before he left the nightclub.

The night was so bright when Keenan drove his Ferrari through the busy streets of New York. He still couldn't get over his annoyance after being slapped by that strange girl. After he forcibly stole her lips, the girl left with tears in her eyes.

Remember that, Keenan felt guilty.

"It's her fault for making trouble with me," he decided his innocence.

That's right, the girl named Elena Jane certainly wouldn't dare act because Keenan had taught her a lesson. He suddenly wondered why she was there. Coupled with the discovery of a book with the Hugo Company logo. Could the girl really be her father's spy?

"That old man," he said sharply, "meddling in my business again."

Suddenly his cell phone rang. Keenan put earphones into his ears and started talking. The voice of Amber Hugo, his father's younger sister, was heard on the other end of the phone.

"Where are you now? Why don't you come for dinner? There's something your father wants to talk about."

"What?"

“Auntie can't say it over the phone. Now come here. Your grandfather is here too.”

"f**k!" cursed Keenan panicked. If his grandfather was already there, he could die if he didn't come. "Okay. I will be there." He turned the steering wheel towards his father's house.

*********

The magnificent house with a garden typical of the land of Sakura has not changed since Keenan left it three years ago. After returning from abroad after taking his master's education, he refuses to live under the same roof with his father again on the pretext that he is an adult and can take care of himself.

Actually, Keenan just doesn't want to be controlled by his conservative father. His mother had died before Keenan went abroad to study. Since then, staying at home has no meaning anymore. He prefers to live alone in a luxury apartment as his friends do.

"You've finally arrived," his aunt Amber greeted him when he arrived. Actually, he didn't like it, but he let it go when Aunt Amber hugged him and pulled his hand, and sat with the other family members behind the dining table.

"Good evening father, grandfather." Keenan greeted his grandfather and father.

"How was your day?" asked the old man with gray hair, he was Keenan's grandfather. The eldest member of the Hugo family.

"Good." He smiled wryly because he had to act in front of his grandfather.

“Your father said you were very pleased with your position as General Manager at the company.”

Keenan was surprised then glared sharply at his father who pretended not to care. Inwardly he hissed in annoyance, "This old man, since when did I agree to work for his company?" Keenan looked back at his grandfather and showed a fake smile, "Yeah, you know grandpa, business is my world," he was lying. Since when did he like doing business? After dinner, he would protest against the old man he called father.

Keenan couldn't believe his father would use his grandfather to control him. His father knew Keenan didn't like doing business, for him working behind a desk was as boring as a language class.

"That's a great start for you. Your father can't lead the company forever. One day you will replace him. You can learn to lead from the position of General Manager.”

"Okay, grandpa." Keenan nodded.

Edward Hugo knew Keenan's greatest weakness was his grandfather. Keenan was very afraid and at the same time respected the elder of the Hugo family. He cleared his throat, making everyone turn their attention to him.

"I want to announce something."

Keenan was curious about what the old man would say. His father looked at everyone sitting at the dining table one by one with a serious face. Keenan suspects his father will drop the bomb.

"Soon, Keenan will get married."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, everyone showed a surprised look, especially Keenan.

What bullshit is this?? He screamed in his heart. He looked at his father angrily. He couldn't believe his father dropped an atomic bomb right in his face.

He had enough of being controlled like a doll in this house, his opinions and wishes never being heard. That's why he vented his anger by doing everything his father hated. If his mother was still around maybe things wouldn't be so bad.

*********

“I never agree to marry any woman you choose!!!” Keenan shouted after the dinner was over. Now he is face-to-face with his father in a private workspace and the man he calls his father is sitting quietly behind a chair.

"You won't be able to resist it." Edward Hugo was sure Keenan would not go against his decision, as usual.

Keenan held his fists so as not to punch anything near him. His chest rumbled violently and his eyes stared intently at his father.

"How long are you going to manage me like this?" he asked sharply and deeply.

"Until you can act like an adult and stop acting like teenagers like you can change the world by acting inappropriately," replied Edward Hugo, inviting his son into an argument.

This time Keenan wanted to destroy something. His father had trampled on his pride and how could he say that it was Keenan who was to blame for all this? Unforgivable.

“I will never agree to your wedding idea!” said Keenan coldly. He turned around and walked out of the stuffy room.

"You will accept it." Edward Hugo's reply made Keenan's steps stop. The man looked up coldly.

"Or you will lose 90 percent of your inheritance."

Keenan widened his eyes in surprise. Was this the ace his father used to silence him? He did not expect his father to use the inheritance to restrain him.

Edward Hugo smiled triumphantly after seeing his son's present expression. He has won this debate. Keenan will never move if he has said all things related to inheritance. His son will never be able to live poor. Since childhood, he was brought up with a lot of luxury objects.

"How?" he asked defiantly.

Keenan growled softly. He knows that if he continues to oppose his father, his life will be more miserable.
