In California. A most important, powerful, and influential old man was privately speaking with his most trusted man, Gustave.
"Sir a news has just arrived your first grandson got married yesterday with a girl name Asiah."
He got mad hearing the news, how dare that man never told him his plan. "Call Christina as soon as possible and investigate the woman."
Christina was summoned by her father-in-law, what's the problem with this old man again why is he calling her presence in his room immediately. Arriving, Christina open the door "what's the problem this time dad?"
He throw the wine glass he is holding in his hand and Christina can see the madness from his action. "Do you know that Flin just got married yesterday to a girl named Asiah."
Hearing the news from her father she gasp how in this world Flin would do such thing, first in foremost the girl was her second son most loved girl.
"Father i must confirm this matter to Flin. I have no idea about this issue."
"Go and find your son?" He ordered.
A moment later Gustave entered the room and he immediately acknowledge the presence of Christina. Christina knew that Gustave's presence would mean a very important information for the old man. She leaves and must inform his son now.
"Sir the girl is a very well known celebrity in Philippines she's a nineteen year old fresh magna c*m laude graduate of Management Engineering from one of the prestigious university in the Philippines. She came from a commoner family..." Gustave did not finish all the information as the old man said enough.
"Bring Alex to me" he said and Gustave immediately went away.
Alex arrived at his father's room and take his sit in the couch near his father. "Christina has told me the news what is it this time dad?"
"You such a useless man how many times do i need to tell you to convince your son to marry Chloie" his temper can be heard in the four corners the room.
"Father your grandson is already thirty one years old why not leave him to marry the girl he wants." Alex replied in a very relaxed tone.
"You i***t, your son is married to a useless celebrity from a underdeveloped country. I want you to convince that girl to get a divorce an soon as possible, offer her money i know that's what she wants from your son."
"Father i have already investigated this girl and she went missing from her country, your grandson kidnap that girl against her will he must really like her."
The old man look at Alex direction in a mad manner. "If you don't move then ill be the one who will find away to get rid of that woman."
"Father im already out of this issue i loved my son as i loved you. So do the things that you think is best for your grandsons and i will do all my best to protect them. Father your already old enough and why not leave all things as it is and let them realize their own mistake."
"You i***t get out of this room." His father shouted. Alex went away he knows that the old man is still crazy about an old promise he made in front of the late Steve Alfaith. He knows her father very will he will make all things possible, he have suffered the same faith before.
Christina and Alex went to visit their Flin, they are afraid of what the old man can do. They have already learned their lesson when Zian almost leave them two year ago and they don't want that experience anymore.
Flin told Asiah to prepare her self for his parents will be visiting them. She is wearing nice floral cocktail dress, Flin picked for her. Flin noticed that she is tensed "babe come here" she walks near and Flin embrace her "don't be nervous they are very nice, haven't you meet my them already." He said kissing her forehead then Asiah relaxed.
The plane landed. Flin and Asiah are waiting below. The door opens a nice lady and a handsome man went out. This is the second time she will meet Flins father. Flins walks near them he embrace his parents and give a kiss to his lovely mother. Looking at the scene she remembers her mother and father a tear fall down from his eyes. She followed staying in the back of Flin. She don't know what to do or how to react when Flins father walks in front of her.
"This beautiful lady is now my daughter-in-law." And he reached her hand.
"Hello Mister Claud, my pleasure to meet you again sir." She said shyly, she still remember how he said he don't want her for Flin.
"My daughter-in-law is shy, dont worry i respect my sons decision and I'm happy to meet the one who owns the continent of Asia, again." Then he smile while laughing.
Asiah blushed. "Im so sorry sir my mother is just too dreamy that she named me after the continent of Asia."
"Move away monster let me see again this beautiful girl." Christina slightly pushing her husband away. She smile and laugh because she also calls Flin as monster. The beautiful lady embraced her and welcomes her in the Family. She don't know that his parent would accept her despite the fact that Zian also loves her.
They entered the mansion and Flins mother gasp looking in the very big wedding portrait of her and Flin. She don't know what to say she is walking beside Flin holding in his arm. Flin is kissing her everytime or sniffing her hair even if his parents are looking at them.
"I dont know that my son is this really obsessed with you." his father said to her and laughed.
"Dad" Flins voice is questioning and looking so tense to what his father have just said. His father put both of his hands in the air surrendering. "Is their any food my lovely Christina might be hungry."
"You monster don't use me as an excuse." And they all laugh.
"Mom Dad lets go eat i know you are tired from the flight." Flin said.
While eating her mother speaks. "I don't know that you are hiding a very good chef here can we have him."
"Mom its Asiah who prepared all this food if your planning to have her then im afraid i have no delicious food to eat" Flin replied teasing her. She remembered what had just happened last night.
The couple jaw dropped while looking at her, they don't expect that she could cook a nice food as this. Asiah just smiled at them and they continue eating. After, Alex told to Flin if they can talk privately. Asiah and Christina was left in the living room.
"Asiah i know that Flin forced you and i hope someday you will learn to care for your husband." Christina is looking and holding her hands.
"Asiah please promise me if someday when things would go wrong i hope you can stay beside him, please fight for him. He would not force you into something if he don't love you."
"What do you mean by that uhm.. mom?" She ask very curious.
"Just promise me?" Christina is looking in her eyes very serious about this matter.
"Yes mom i will."
"Good, i don't know that Flin has plan of marrying someone. Maybe he is just waiting for you and i do trust my son he is old enough to know what's wrong from what's right. "
Her so called mother-in-law expression relaxed when Flin and his father arrived back. Flin said to her that he will be going back with his parents back to California. She said take care and they leave.
Its been three days now when Flin left her behind. Kishie is always staying in her side. She standing in the veranda picking up her thoughts on what's going on when Kishie told her that her mother-in-law was waiting for her in the library room. She don't know why Flins mother is looking for her and where is Flin? She was escorted by Kishie in the library. She don't know why but she never felt this nervous before. She entered and she can see the woman in here very serious manner she got even more tensed in what would he say to her.
"Please take your sit Asiah"
She take her sit and Christina slide a document in front of her. She don't know what's going on while looking in the papers above the table when Christina told her to read it. She started to read what's on the documents and the first words she could see is 'divorce agreement'. Her hands is shaking as she can see her name was stated. Below it, was Flins name and his signature. Her heart cried as she read some of the content. She started to cry heavily and she cant not continue reading anymore her tears is dropping in the documents. She put back the papers in the table while crying looking at Alex.
"At the back are the divorce settlement agreement stating you will be receiving a huge sum of money as a financial support"
"What's going on mom where is my husband, where is Flin, where is the demon, where is Flintstone, where is the brute, where is the monster?" She cant control her emotions now as she cried even heavier.
"Im so sorry Asiah but my son is the one who send this documents. I know its hard for you but its for the better."
"How can you say that its for the better and f**k your son after using me after getting all what he wanted from me after saving your other son and this is all what Ive got from all of you." She stop crying wiping her tears away using her hands but her tears is unstoppable right now. She is totally devastated broken and shattered inside now Flin has succeeded in breaking every piece of her.
"Asiah I'm sorry to tell you but you don't belong to my son and don't call me mom anymore. You came from a small family so you can use the money to save them from poverty."
"f**k your money Christina i don't need them i may came from a peasant family but my mother has raised me well. I was thinking that you are a very nice woman but think of it, all rich are all the same. So the whole family has decided on this matter Flin send you this documents and you brought it hear saying i dont belong to your family same as Alex told me offering me millions for you don't want a commoner like me to be added in your very high status and high profile family."
She signed while still crying she paused for a moment her tears is dropping on the paper where she sign her name. She get the divorce settlement agreement and tear them piece by piece. "Tell your f*****g son i don't need his money or your money and i don't need a single penny from your family. You can send back that divorce paper now Christina Claud in the sky and please say to tour son thanks for letting me experience how to live in a sky full of nice floppy CLOUDS but all are rotten inside."
The woman get up and slap her very strong. Her entire face is burning the edge of her mouth is bleeding she was on floor the lying.
"Dont you dare say that word to my entire family."
She get up and fix herself she was totally all numb she cant feel any emotions now.
"What a fate for me isn't it Mrs. Christina Cloud. Zian told his brother to abduct me from my simple happy life. Flin r***d me multiple time, beat me, torture me everyday and now you slapped me in my face. Did i hurt any of you? I wonder what worst thing the Claud family can do to hurt me more and I promise you that no one from the Claud family can never ever touch me again for i will become your sun in the sky and all you Claud 'cloud' will be all pouring rain in the ground until you are all evaporated." And she moved away. The only thing that she needs now is her phone he needs her Father now. She must get away from this hell. Before stepping out from the house she turned back and picked a vase and smashed it on their wedding portrait.
She immediately dialed his fathers number. But the call was directed to his secretary.
"This is Asiah can you please connect me to my father please." She is now crying very hard she dont want to live anymore, it is hurting her a lot. Her heart and soul are totally broken. Now that she is already starting and learning to love Flin then here comes his whole clan smashing her whole being on ground, helpless.
"Oh I'm very much sorry wait for a moment ill tell him youve called, please hold on." In her heavy accent.
"My girl I'm sorry otets is on a emergency meeting." Otets is a Russian language for father.
"Father im so sorry for everything i love you so much"
"Asiah my little where are you now?"
"I'm here in Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville North Carolina."
"Asiah my girl, please stay safe until i arrived, otets will arrive in Ten hours. I will sending someone to look after you and don't hesitate to call otets back okay."
"Make it fast papa." She cried again a lot more. "How's all the guys doing?"
"They are all safe my girl so just wait for Otets, i need to end the call now."
"Ok papa".
She had never experience being abused in her whole life until she meet the Claud clan. They have taken everything away from her.
