chapter 2
affonso
Now, let's get down to business, shall we?
maximo
Yes, this way, please.
Jessica shows the way to two guests to the living room, where her father is waiting for them.
affonso
Good lord, could you be any more upset?
calisto (ml)
Greetings, Mr. Sorrento. We've met before.
Jessica's father glances at them, signing them to sit.
However, Affsonso takes Jessica's father's sit at the head of the table as if he owns the place.
Jessica (fl)
(This man has no manner at all! 😾)
affonso
So, just like I and Maximo agreed before...
affonso
Jessica will marry me in a month, and she will bear my child, who's gonna be the heir of Donati.
affonso
Then, our two families will be forever bonded by bloodlines.
No one knows Affonso would be so direct, flaunting his power like this.
The room falls into silence for a while. Jessica peek at Affonso...
Jessica (fl)
(He quite enjoys people being intimidated by him.)
(fl dad)
Yes, I do believe we've come to an agreement with that...
(fl mom)
But does it have to be so soon? I really want to...
affonso
Please, madam. I am not young. 😠
affonso
And thanks to my useless nephew, I have to find an alternative plan.
affonso
So, yes, it has to be this soon. 😠
Jessica (fl)
It's alright, mama. I know what I have to do. **sad**
Calisto yawns as if this family drama interests him none.
As Jessica speaks, she glances at that attractive young man.
Jessica (fl)
(He is simply sitting there as if he does not hear what his uncle says about him.)
Jessica (fl)
(He does not seem to care about what his uncle just says!)
Jessica (fl)
(I Wonder what's going on with them...They may have a problem because of family issues.)
Jessica (fl)
(who knows what's going around inside of a family...)
Jessica (fl)
(Look at me, handed away by my uncle like a gift...) 😔
Just when Jessica's mind wanders off again, she hear Affonso's cold voice.
affonso
You were not paying attention to what I just said... 😠
affonso
I will discuss more details with your parents in the study; stay with my nephew in the meantime.
affonso
Cal, please keep our lady entertained.
