way out of your league

Confusion

Sandra's POV

I know i'm having a migraine already,I don't understand how things took this ugly turn. f**k,f**k,f**k! and just like that my plans are falling apart. I can't take it,No I won't take,Mr Anderson or whoever he is can go to hell for all I care.My son needs to be a Johnson,I worked hard for all this and I refuse to let my hard work go down the drain.But thinking about it,I wondered how I didn't figure this out.For f**k sake Mr Neil late parents own 70% of the shares in that company which they gave half to Nathan not Nelson who obviously is the first that should have been my clue to figuring something wasn't right.So stupid of me to see it as plain favouritism and knowing Mr Neil I guess he would be changing his will soon even Mrs Vanessa parents gave Nathan a part of one quarter of their shares too obviously the snobs already knew Nelson's dad wasn't in their circle or league.

No! I can't accept this.why can't I get a break or better still my own happy ending.I placed Ryan down and began pacing "please calm down Sandra,every thing would be ok" Nora said "I won't let anyone take my baby from me,I don't care who they are" I said trying to think of a solution fast."Nobody is taking Ryan from you,Mr Tristan or whoever it is has no right or legal backing to do that so chill" Nora said and I just rolled my eyes.I guess Nathan is the real deal after all and I need him to get my happy ending, nothing is going to stop me.Nathan walked in and at that moment I knew it was time to act fast.

"Oh Nathan,thank God you are here, please help me I don't want to lose my baby,he is all I have left" I said sobbing frantically and hugging Nathan who appeared tensed "Nobody is taking my nephew away please calm down Sandra,we won't allow that" Nathan replied "i'm so sorry Sandra" Nora said just as Mr and Mrs Johnson walked in "I see we are all present, please let's move downstairs to talk,a family meeting is long overdue" Mr Johnson said.When we were all finally seated downstairs,Mrs Johnson spoke first "I guess we are all aware of what's going on,i'm so sorry I caused this mess and we are linked to it and I really want to fix this in a dignified way" dignity my foot I thought, where was her dignity when she was being a slut."With everything we all know, this situation is a little tricky since Mr Anderson is very serious about going to the media so we have to either release a public statement first or give into his demands so we can release the news at our own time and pace.Plus we can control the narrative"Mr Johnson said "One way or another this would definitely go public,Mr Anderson needs to know he has no leverage to bargain with in the first place" Nathan said "Its his guts to make demands that annoys me" Nora replied "Can we just silence him already" I said "whether we like it or not he is Nelson's dad and Ryan grandfather so he does deserve some respect,I won't be a part of that nor would I support you attacking him or his career" Nathan said "please we have to handle this with dignity so nothing soils the family name or company image" Mrs Johnson said and I was furious.

"So does that mean I would lose my child,I really don't get you.I'm not losing my child and I mean it. My son Ryan Johnson is not leaving my side" I said with finality "Does it really matter what he bears, from everything we know mom stopped him from fighting for Nelson to take his name so she could keep this united front,but then he shouldn't be threatening us"Nathan replied "I did that for the the family and company image" Mrs Johnson replied "We all know the main reason for you doing that is personal so stop mom,chivalry on you sounds suspicious" Nathan said "please stop it Nathan, we need to be united in our decision for once,stop being petty Nathan" Mr Johnson said "Really,isn't it same reason mom gave not to sue when the first act of s****l abuse happened" Nathan said, first act of s****l assault! I think i got lost somewhere in this f*****g conversation "I'm sorry Nathan,I was doing what I felt was best for the company and family" Mrs Johnson said "what about what was best for me!,are you even my mom cause I won't be surprised if you aren't" Nathan said,Wow! this is shocking, how come I never knew this,this family is so f*****g twisted.

"Nathan! can we all just stop.calm down Nathan" Mr Johnson said."Maybe we should all sleep over this and meet later in the week to make a final decision Nora said and we all agreed "Nathan what you said was hurtful to your mom and....." Mr Johnson said but Nathan cut him off saying "Just stop Dad,you are going to sound really pathetic cause you were as much of a problem as she was then" Nathan replied walking away. Mr Johnson turned to me and said "Sandra dear, Ryan would always be my grandson no matter what his last name is and sometimes we have to do what's best for the family even if it might hurt a little, bear this in mind" After hugging him I took Ryan and we went home with Nora driving right behind us.

"Sandra,I know you are furious about this situation but I want you to know we are all here for you" Nora said as we finally settled down in my house "its a pathetic situation I admit but I just want to do what's best for my baby" I replied "I know and we all want that too" Nora said "Sorry to ask but what was Nathan talking about when he mentioned the first s****l assault" I asked and Nora explained "so that it or at least that was what I was told" nora replied "that's so sad" I said as I heard my phone ring Reece was calling.I got a lead role in a movie Reece was directing,thankfully shooting would start in three months time so I had time to prepare and figure out how to take care of Ryan, as I walked back to Nora, I heard her arguing with someone on phone "Do I seem like a booty call to you,when was the last time we went on a date and actually talked" Nora said while I silently asked her what was happening "Do not try to boss me around,I have a lot going on right now" she said "oh please,spare me.fine i'm coming over" she said before ending the call.

"what's happening", I asked "There is something off about Mason,I just can't place my hands on it and its annoying that he has reduced our relationship to some sort of a booty call since we came from Paris, he is just so inattentive and we've been quarreling a lot.I'm trying my best sandra but i can seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.Anyway I need to meet up with him maybe we would get to talk" Nora replied and I nodded "just keep an open mind and remember for a relationship to work patience and compromise is needed" I said and she sighed.After Nora left I kept thinking about what to do about Mr Anderson.I really need to deal with that situation fast so I decided to call him so I can see if we can come to an understanding.

"Hello Mr Anderson,this is Sandra speaking, Nelson's fiancee and Ryan's mum"I said "hello Sandra,its a pleasure to hear from you although I wonder if this time is convenient,for you since its a little late" he said "Actually it's not but I like to meet up with you in person at lunch tomorrow so we can talk" I replied "ok that's fine by me,pick a venue and text me the details" he said and with that a meeting was set up and I had to prepare my mind to snatch opportunity when I see it.
