Married to the Unpredictable Man

Chapter II

After packing my things I heard some car stopped in front of our house. Before I can peak at my window my dad suddenly swung my door open "we have to go now Amelia" and two men wearing black suits entered my room to get my things.

"Who are they daddy?" I asked "you'll know soon sweetie, just trust me for now. I will do everything to protect you" he said

I just nod at what he said. As we reach the front door I can see at least five black SUV's with armed man all over our place. "What exactly is happening daddy?" I asked and stopped on my tracks.

"You'll understand soon sweetie, come on. We can't waste time" he said.

We are currently riding one of the SUV's. Two ahead of us and two behind. I can't stop thinking what is happening, who are these men, and why are they going after us?

"We're here sir" one of them told dad. Dad held my face "Amelia, I want to remind you to be strong, we will get through this sweetie" I nod at him and move out of the car.

A helicopter is waiting for us. My dad held my hand and some men help us get in the helicopter. I don't have the energy to asked where we're going and a lot more questions in my mind. I just sat there looking at the lights of New York before living the place I lived for 19 years.

I fell asleep the whole flight maybe because of exhaustion. I was awaken by my dad and see the surroundings, I can't figure out where exactly we we're but the airport the helicopter had landed seemed like private. The whole flight was 13 hours as I checked on my watch.

We we're picked up by 2 SUV's same as what we rode back in New York. I can see the beautiful beach on our way to who knows where.

It's been 30 minutes before I can see a house, more like a mansion surrounded by beautiful trees. It has fountain and beautiful garden. I look at my dad and asked "who exactly is going to help us dad"

He hesitated for a while but answered me anyway "we're meeting Lucas Hayes, and I want to warn you. Let me negotiate with him" he looks at the men we're with in the car before whispering "He's not that good man, but he's the only person who can help us" he whispered. I nodded

So we're meeting a not so good man. I hope this works as what my dad has planned. One of the men in black suit open the car and we slid down.

We entered a two huge mahogany doors, the interior of the house is indeed beautiful. The walls are all white and the chandelier between the two golden stairs is so big. I can see how powerful and wealthy the owner of the house just by looking at it.

"Stay here for a while, Mr. Hayes will be here soon" one of the men informed us. We sat at the I presume receiving area of the mansion as the lady brought something to drink.

Lucas POV

"They're here Mr. Hayes" one of my men informed me.

"I'll be down there in 10 minutes" I informed him

I was still hesitating to help this man, although I know he's a good friend of my father and also a member of mafia. His daughter has no clue about it and I'm not so sure if its a good idea for her to be here.

What would I ask in return? Maybe I'll just figure it out later.

As I was approaching them Mr. Evans saw me and stand immediately as for her daughter she remained seated. Her back is facing me so maybe she has no idea of my arrival.

She has a long brown curly hair that falls perfectly in her back. She abruptly stands when she realized why her father suddenly stands. She has her head bowed down and didn't say anything.

"Its been a while Mr. Evans" I greeted him. "How are you doing Mr. Hayes?" He asked

"Everything is good in business" I answered. "Please take a seat" I look at her daughter and she still had her head bowed down. She was just looking at the floor the whole time.

"Let's get to business Mr. Evans, don't we want to settle this earlier and get things done?" I told him

"Of course Mr. Hayes" he replied

"What am I going to get in return?" I asked him. "Whatever you asked for Mr. Hayes" he said.

I tried to think of a good deal, but none came to my mind not until her daughter lift her face and our eyes met. She is indeed beautiful, her hazel big eyes, pale skin and her long brown curly hair that fits her perfectly. She seemed so innocent to be here.

I smirk at her before everting my eyes to his father "I think I know what I want" I told him. I can see the worry in his face, he already knew what I was talking about. "As you may know I'm looking for a wife, you know how necessary it is for me to have one and she'll be perfect. That's the only way I can protect her" I added

"I'm sorry Mr. Hayes, but I can't let that happen" he answered right away

"Then I think you just have to wait for the fall of your business Mr. Evans" I said as I stood up

"I'm doing it" I heard an angelic voice said. I look at her and she's looking at her dad.

"Amelia you don't know what you're saying" he said

"No dad, I want to help you just this once. I don't want to waste your hardships in that business. Let me help you and like what you've said, he's the only man who can help us" I told him

"Then its settled" I said and both of them look at me.

Mr. Evans suddenly stood up and hug her daughter "I'm so sorry Amelia, that you have to do this"

"Don't worry Mr. Evans, I'll do my very best to protect my future wife. Can we have a moment to discuss some things?" I asked

He loosen his hold to Amelia and nodded at me.

We settled everything and decided to announce that I will be marrying her daughter, that's the only way for them to stop. They know better than making me mad. He will be flying back to New York while Amelia will be staying here for protection.

Before he leave he see Amelia to bid farewell "sweetie I'll be leaving, please take care of yourself" he said as he wipe the tears from Amelia's face. "I will dad, please take good care of yourself. Remember to drink your meds on time and don't go drinking because I'm not around. Okay?" She told her dad. He nodded and held her one more time before facing me.

"I'll be going now Mr. Hayes" he said. I just nodded and left.
