"Are you crazy?" Caleb asked Primo when they entered his office; the young man didn't even answer. "I just told you that I don't agree with Dad's condition, so I'm also thinking of a way, but why did you just kidnap an innocent man to be my fiance?" he said. Primo immediately answered. "Boss, I'm just helping you, so I just tried to scare his parents because they owe us a lot; I don't think they will accept the offer." Caleb sighed. Even if they release the young man, they will be reported to the police, so he won't let that happen, especially since it will ruin the reputation of their family because not everyone knows that they are the owners of Profundis.
"I hope you told me your plan so that I also know and not suddenly, we'll both be hanging here by the time Dad finds out what happened," he said. He understood Primo because when Caleb didn't agree with what his father wanted, his stepbrother might be their leader. "Boss, our solution is here, but the only problem is how to get Andy to agree." Caleb wanted to do the easiest thing to control people, and he knew what he had to do for that Andy guy, so he had to decide what was right. Like his loyal friends in this mafia group, he also doesn't want his stupid dumb stepbrother to take his place as heir.
"Fine, Tell any details about him then I will talk to him myself." he said making Primo smile and salute, "Copy Boss but can I take a vacation at Station 7? I miss teasing Deputy Sheriff Lee." He shook his head but knowing Primo, he will do anything just to get what he wants

Andy woke up again; he didn't realize he fell asleep. He expected to wake up being tied up in a chair again, but to his surprise, he woke up lying on a soft bed. His clothes were also changed, so he was about to get up, but a voice stopped him from moving. "You're awake," he gazed at the man standing near the edge of the bed where he was lying down. This is the man earlier who suddenly entered the room where he was locked up and was furious with one of the abductors. "Who are you?" Andy muttered, trying to get away from him. He was afraid of what might be done to him.
Caleb tried to be gentle, knowing that the young man was afraid of him. That's why he didn't move from where he was standing; he was trying to calm himself so as not to get angry. Maybe Andy was even more afraid. "Im Caleb Andrew Zhong, I know this is confusing and sorry for what Primo had done. Your parents had a huge debt from us, so we need to make sure that they will pay so that you can be freed." Andy snorted, then looked out the window before answering. "Believe me, I have nothing to do with them, so don't expect them to pay what they owe you; they don't care about my existence as their child," he said. He thought maybe his parents were grateful when they made him collateral for the loan sharks.
Andy wanted to cry right now, but not in front of a stranger. "I know that's why I have a proposal for you," Caleb answered, pulling up a contract that he had prepared. Once Andy wakes up, they will talk about this. "So I have this situation right now where my dad wanted me to marry a man in order for me to get my inheritance, and I don't want that condition, so he threatened me to give the inheritance to my brother." He placed the contract near Andy's feet. "I'm asking you to be my husband until my dad passes down the inheritance to me, then after that we can get a divorce, and then I'll give you money to start your life."
Andy was stunned to hear it. Caleb knew that the other male was taking time to answer his proposal. "I know you'll ask if you can ask for something in return; if you can ask anything, then I would give it," he added, making Andy look at him. "Even if I ask for my parents to be killed?" Caleb nodded his head. He knew Andy was just thinking like this because his parents abandoned him. "I can give you time to decide this matter, so you don't need to answer immediately, but I'll expect you to answer tomorrow night," he said, taking his leave without waiting for the other male to reply. He will be attending a meeting tonight, and he also made sure to lock this room so Andy couldn't escape.
As the other male left, Andy felt his tears slowly pouring down his face. He was still in the process of accepting why his parents sold him to a mafia gang, what his sins were in the world, and why he was always punished. He didn't even wish to be born in this kind of world; I wish his mother had continued to abort him if this was the only way he would end up in life. After he cried for a few minutes, he took the paper that Caleb had put down earlier. He also wanted to take the other male's offer, but he was hesitant to accept it because he knew they were mafias and might do something bad to him.
Andy decided that he would think about the answer tomorrow, and he was tired of crying, so he put the contract on the bedside table, then went back to bed. He couldn't sleep again because he knew he was not in his comfort zone, which is his room in their house. Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Park is very thankful because he's gone or they did spend his hard-earned money. He was thinking so much that he didn't realize he fell asleep again, but he felt someone's hand wiping his tears away.
