Demitra's POV
“Hm… you're 2 hours early”
My uncle chuckles
“You're saying it like it's a bad thing”
“You have never been early for anything in your life”
“Now that's not the right way to speak to your uncle now” his wife includes
“And I don't remember asking for your opinion”
They remain silent.
I notice the bags
“And the bags?”
“We thought it would be a nice idea to stay here for a few days” my uncle said with a cunning
smile on his face
“Yes! This is such a big house you can't possibly want to stay here all alone”
I see right through their lies.
“I don't think that would be necessary” I replied
“We've come a long way and the kids are tired , let us stay for one night at least"
I know they are trying to manipulate me but the kids did look tired
“Alright one night”
“You four can share the guest room”
“One room?!” my uncle exclaims
“Is there a problem?” I reply with a calm voice
“ You can't possibly expect us to sleep in one room”
“One room in my mansion is probably bigger than your house, be grateful”
“How dare you!” my uncle's wife tries to raise her hand on me
“If you lay one finger on me , you would spend the rest of your years in prison”
My uncle holds her back and she clenches her fist.
“Good”
.
I give a cold smirk
“Join me at the dining to discuss the will”
Their hungry , greedy eyes widened and they hurriedly rushed over to the dining.
“Where is the lawyer?” my uncle asked
“The Lawyer and I have had our private meeting, I would take over from here”
They give each other stares and return their gaze back to me.
“ My very generous father has left you with the farm and the house in Kentucky, the duplex in
Brighton and £500k in your children's names.
”
“A farm and a duplex?” my aunt replied
“Yes, my father was a generous man even though you all deserve nothing”
“It can't be” my uncle said
“I always told you , your brother was selfish” my aunt whispered
“I didn't quite catch that”
The room goes silent
“If you all must know, my father entrusted me to run the Walker Empire”
“This has to be a joke” my aunt says
“Aren't you 19?” he says to mock me.
“I am a 24 year old woman who has accomplished more than your entitled 52 year old self could
ever” I say boldly
“You're just an entitled NEPO baby!” my aunt screams angrily
“Oh please… we all know I worked hard for this. If you would excuse me I have better things to
do than argue with people who care about money than their own family”
stand and walk out without waiting for a response.
The house goes silent as Demitra leaves
“A child cannot possibly run this empire”
, he scoffs
Victoria shakes her head
“Stephen must have lost his mind”
The door opens and the lawyer walks in
“Good evening, I'm here to discuss the final arrangements of Demitra's marriage”
“Marriage?!” Victoria exclaims
“Yes, the marriage to Luke Combs”
“Luke Combs?!” Elise exclaims
“Excuse me?” Richard adds
“I believe Ms Demitra should have informed you about all this”
They stare at each other
“Demitra Walker cannot inherit the Walker Empire if she doesn't get married to Luke Combs”
Shock fills the room
“What happens if she doesn't?” Nathan asks
“Well, the empire is handed over to Mr Stephen’s family”
Silence hovers around the room
“I have to leave now, please inform Mrs Demitra I came by”
“Of course!” Richard says with an exciting tone
The Lawyer leaves almost immediately
“I can't believe Demitra gets to get married to Luke Combs , she gets everything!” Elise whines
“Wait… if she doesn't get married to Luke Combs, WE get the company” Richard gives a
wicked smile
“Then perhaps we should make sure this marriage doesn't hold”
