Flowers of tears

Father I love him, I'd give up everything for him, just to be with him. I remember how much I begged my father to give him another chance. He was my father's trusted employee he was assigned to keep me safe. My father is a business man and I am the middle child and the only sister of my two brothers. I am the only non legitimate child since my older brother was his late wife's son and the younger one was the son he had with his second wife. "You are my only daughter and how dare a man who's life depends on the salary he got from me marry you! " Dad! Stop insulting him! I love him. So please give him a chance. He is a very nice guy, you knew that the moment you assigned him to protect me. You trusted him! "And that asshole broke my trust! he should not have love you! Are you even sure he love you? We'll never know if he's just after the money you're gonna inherit from me! ".. Dad please! I'm begging you let me get the love that you failed to give, this family hasn't given me the same love I got from him. " How dare you! Isn't your money enough?! Get out of my office! All you gave me was a disappointment." I couldn't do anything, I was so hurt and disappointed of how my father acted and talked about the man I love in front of me. I just cried and cried and found myself at the garden. "Get out of this garden you're just gonna affect the flowers with your tears! " a manly voice came from behind. It was my younger brother. Lewis how long have you been there? Weren't you suppose to be playing golf with Lawrence?I asked looking down. "No need to be embarrassed, even when you don't cry you still look like an i***t to me." He said coldly and walked passed me. He took his shirt off and stretches his body before he jumped at the pool splashing the water. He's the athletic one and the garden by the pool was his favorite in our place. He's 5 years younger than me and is taller. My brothers are both a handsome and hot men they were both popular in the campus during their times, they're basically every girls dream boy. Even I, can say that. They're perfect the way they look and dresses. They're kind of snob though, I bet they have the right? I mean, they have everything one could asked for, fame, looks, intelligence,wealth. Compared to me who was just a mere student trying my best in every way during our days, sighs!.. Must be the reason why dad reserved them a good position in the company. Lawrence is good in numbers and Lewis has brilliant ideas and a business minded person. At least for a while I was able to distract my mind from the problem I have. "Lalainne! Do you have a minute to spare?" Asked Lawrence. I didn't say a word and just followed him at the elevator. "You know dad got mad because he was betrayed by his trusted employee right? What do you expect his reaction would be? Besides, dad has a point" I cut him off, look Lawrence, I love Albert he's the nicest guy when you get to know him, everyone will like him. Why can't you guys trust me? He loves me I know he does! And he will continue doing so. So please just give him a chance! "There is no way I am trusting that guy, and so will dad" I walked out of the elevator and sat down in the sofa. "I am trusting you Lalainne. I've got a way to let dad approve your relationship with the man." After talking to Lawrence I stormed out from the ground floor and pressed the button to the third floor where my father's office is at. "Didn't I tell you to get the hell out of my sight?" Tell me dad, what do you want me to do for you to accept Albert? I was so nervous when I told asked dad that, but no matter what happens and what the consequences are I'll take it just to be with Albert. Besides Lawrence was right courage is all I needed to be with Albert. Right that's all I need. "Do you mean you'd give up everything just to be with him?" Lawrence asked from behind. I was hesitant to answer him because I don't know what life will be without everything I have right now. Then again I know I'll survive as long as Albert and I were together. "What are you doing here? Did you two teamed up against me? Dad asked while smirking. Lawrence laughed, " me? Teamed up with your stupid daughter? Oh c'mon dad you're kidding right?" We both waited for dad to respond. The office is silent the whole five minutes, literal silence where you can almost here everyone's breathing. Suddenly Lewis came the silence was broke when he opened the door. Lawrence and I looked at him and I know he was stunned by the silence yet he continued to walk and sat down at the sofa beside the chair I was sitting. "Are we playing a guessing game?" said Lewis coldly, as he crossed his legs. Lewis knew that there has tension going on inside the room and he was trying to uplift the mood, I glance at dad and he wasn't reacting to anything Lewis has said so I was giving him an eye but his eyes sparkled he wasn't saying a word this time but I know he was teasing me then he stopped and turned his attention outside since Lawrence gave him and an eye, then suddenly dad talked. Weird because of all people in the house Lewis only gets scared to Lawrence, I doubt if this kid even scared of death. Well, back to I was saying dad finally opened his mouth after a decade of waiting."Everyone will gather at dinner on Friday and bring that bastard with you!"......
