Broken Hearts •~I refuse~•

~Sicily, Italy~

~Later that evening~

In a five star hotel owned by the one and only De'Andre Family.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

*waiting* Where the hell is she!?

He was cursing and mumbling because it had been five minutes since he was waiting for her.

He has never once in his life waited for anyone. Five minutes felt like infinity for him.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

Mister Andre?

A sweet voice rang from behind and he turned to discover his blind date candidate. The girl who was panting hard because she rushed over here.

Her purple dress and short blonde hair mesmerized his eyes but he snapped out when she again called his name.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

Are you mister Dominic DeAndre?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

Yes. Please have a seat.

She sat down and the waiter in charge helped her with the seat. The whole floor was empty because he doesn't like to be in the middle of crowd.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

I apologize for being late *laughs embarrassingly* Actually it was such a short notice, I had to rush directly from Paris.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

It's not a problem. You are miss...?

He didn't bother to look at her name and had no choice but to ask. She smiled lightly and replied with a soft voice.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

Agnes Theodore, nice to meet you

Dominic was sitting crossing his legs around and his phone on the table placed carelessly.

His aura was unsettling and different. Making her extremely nervous and flushed. His voice was dense and a thick scent of cologne was adding to the atmosphere.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

Mr. Dominic, I will not take your time. I will get straight to the point.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

*nods*

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

I am not interested in getting married honestly, I do not mean you in particular I just don't want to get married to anyone at all! I'm studying and I want to walk my father's path. For which I have make sure I have strong allies.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

I'm sure you understand because you are the heir and successor to Andre Empire. And I absolutely refuse to get married to any stranger. I have dreams and plans.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

Hmm.. I understand. So what is your point?

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

My point is that I refuse to this marriage. I'm not going to give you any false hope. And I hope you aren't offended..

She looked at his after stating her thoughts. And finally she saw the expression on his face. With a break taking chuckle he took the glass for wine.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

I find you quite smart miss Theodore.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

My thoughts are almost the same as you. I don't have any interest in marriage. Not because of any loveless life or other shit concepts.. but because I'm enjoying my life. I want to be free of responsibilities and these useless emotions. And my main goal is to rule my father's empire.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

A woman can meddle in and make this complicated. She'll demand time and attention. Which I'm not willing to give to anyone but my work.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

So... what are you suggesting?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

We both understand each other's situation. And we both have very similar thoughts as well. But our responsibilities don't allow us to refuse. So let's work in partnership?

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

Partnership?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

The things are very clear miss Theodore. We both need a marriage certificate as soon as possible. So what I'm suggesting is that we can help each other out..?

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

You mean a marriage with benefits?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

It will be a marriage with benefits either way. I will not stop you from completing your studies or your dreams. Andre Family is rich and wealthy. So I have no interest in your family's business as well. You will have full freedom in your life and I can have mine.

She was shocked seeing how a man can plan something as important as marriage so coldly and just for his selfish desires.

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

I'm sorry Mister Andre, I have to decline.

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

I think miss Theodore didn't quite understand my words..

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

No. I actually did. It is really a win win situation for both of us but.... I refuse to trample on my family's emotions. A marriage without love and respond will bring disaster in both families. One day or another our families will know of our selfish plans and motives. How do you think they will feel?

AGNES THEODORE [FL]

I believe I have made myself clear. I don't know if I offended you or not. I apologize once again if I have. Thank you for your time, mister Andre.

She stood up and left after apologizing. Throughout the whole conversation she was polite and respectful. He had never seen anyone so clean and well behaved....

FABIANO [ML'S BFF]

How was it bro?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

She refused to get married.

FABIANO [ML'S BFF]

*laughs* Was she like a bítch? Just as you thought?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

She was.... nothing like I thought. She was something else. A sparkling ray of light. Free and flattering as a butterfly...

He was dazed while speaking of her. All the way he kept speaking of her and nothing else.

FABIANO [ML'S BFF]

Bro... what has gotten into you?

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

What do you mean?

FABIANO [ML'S BFF]

Did you fall for her? You are speaking as if you...

DOMINIC DE'ANDRE [ML]

Shut up! I didn't even like her.

He looked outside with a frowning face. He felt angry but he didn't know why. Fabiano was already well aware of what was going on his mind but Dominic was a persistent person.

He refused to accept anything.
