His Unwanted Bride

The news

Clary’s POV :

I groaned as I walked away from the water towards my phone that was ringing.

Who the hell is interrupting my trip?

I looked at the caller and saw that it was my father. I rolled my eyes and answered the phone .

“Hi dad , I’m okay. Don’t worry and, yes, I made sure to stay away from the paparazzi. No need to call every few minutes to check whether I was followed by paparazzi or not”, I said as soon as I answered the call .

“Listen Clary, that is not why I am calling you right now!” He said, angry at my outburst.

“I’m sorry dad ” I said with a sigh, ” wait, but why are you calling me then ?”

“I am calling because you need to come back home today. I have already arranged the private jet and it will be ready by 3 pm. ”

“Can I know why ? ” I asked.

“We are having an important family over for dinner and I have an announcement to make during that dinner which you have to attend. That’s all you have to know for now. I will tell you the rest when you arrive, OK ?” he says.

“Fine bye dad ”

“Bye ” he says as I end the call.

I looked back at my 2 best friends, Alexis and Malia, to see them staring at me with confused and questioning looks as I looked at them apologetically and said,

“I am really sorry but we have to go back. My father needs me for something which I don’t know yet. We should just leave in about 2 hours. ”

"It’s OK Clary ”, Alexis said. “we know how demanding your father is when it comes to business. We

I nodded and we were just talking about random things on our way to my beach house to pack our things.

After 2 hour

We all packed our things and wore proper clothes and now we are on our way to the private jet .

After about 10 minutes, we reached the private jet and got on and the plane took off . Me and my friends are sitting opposite to each other when Malia says .

“So why exactly are we going back so early ?”

“Well, I don’t know the real reason but my dad said that an important family is coming over for dinner tonight and he needs me to be there because he has an important announcement to make during that dinner. That’s all he said, but I just have a bad feeling about that dinner. “I told them and they nodded .

After a couple of hours, we reached New York .

I went straight to our mansion to find both mom and dad sitting there waiting for me . I walked up to mom and kissed her on the cheek, then did the same for my dad and then walked to sit in the opposite seat .

“So, dad, can I know now why you asked me to return from my trip early ?“I asked.

“Yes dear I will tell you “he says as he looks at mom, who nods at him and puts her hand on his, squeezing it reassuringly. “Well, you know, how 2 years ago, our company was struggling during the opening of our chain of hotels , so our profits, started going down ? ” he asked and I nodded remembering how he didn’t want to take money from mom’s company because she was expanding her fashion company in Paris .

“Well you also know how we found a company to help us but they only agreed to do it if we pay them later on, so now they want us to cover our part of the agreement and they don’t want money. They want you to marry their son, otherwise they will take over the company, so I agreed .They are coming today for dinner to settle the agreement and set the day of the wedding.“he completed

I was shocked and didn’t know what to say .

“So am I getting married?” I asked and he nodded and then I laughed.

" Wow dad , that’s very funny . I didn’t know you could make jokes like that,” I said, as I continued to laugh.

" This is not a joke, Clary . You are getting married” he said seriously.

“WHAT ? AM I GETTING MARRIED?? FOR REAL??!“I shouted, not believing what I had just heard from my father .

“Calm down my dear ,please ” dad said,

" Calm down ? How can you ask me to f*****g calm down after what you just said ?”

“Watch your tongue, young lady ” my mother scolded me, and it was the first thing she said since I entered the house .

" What is his name ?“I said.

“He is Leon , ....Leon Black !” My dad said.
