I was in this position again.
I'm like deja vu.
When the rich try to manage my own destiny for their benefit, no matter what I think.
Previously, this frustration had struck when Josh and I managed to save themselves.
At that time, Grandma and Josh had plans not to take Celine and Becca after we managed to escape, without having any discussion with me.
And look at the impact of continuing to carry out their secret plan.
Becca almost killed me, my family and my friends!
If Josh Rainer and Al hadn't come in time to save us back then, I wouldn't be able to see my dear family and friends again.
I was the one who sacrificed the most and was harmed in the brutal acts of Celine and Becca.
But they didn't even involve me.
Don't you care about my mental Grandma? Who's scared to death when the terror comes back I get from those two depraved ones?
I don't even have the background of leading a company with my background that is just this doctor!
And now...
The same situation happened again.
I'm so pissed off.
Doesn't Grandma know that I'm a human with a heart?
Why would he want to arrange our marriage?
Why could he want to have me become the chief director while replacing his granddaughter?
Why didn't he even question my opinion at all?
Does he think I'm just a doll who's gonna be obedient to get married tomorrow and become Tel-X director?
What does Grandma Gurnawijaya think of me? The pawn he can play to keep his business going?
Does he care only about the continuity of his business? Doesn't he care that I'm completely unwilling to get involved in the business machinations of this conglomerate after all the madness and cruelty I've received?
Oh my God,
I'm gonna get into this creepy conglomerate circle!
And I'm really pissed off right now!
"Josh Rainer," my tone had now risen, I could not hide my irritation anymore. "Did your grandmother not care a little about my mental health?" I said sharp.
Josh in front of me seemed to be trying to calm me down.
"I was almost imprisoned for a crime I didn't commit, I almost died and my family was in danger of being involved in your conglomerate's family problems. I live in the shadow of fear to this day" I said softly.
"And all your grandmother cares about is that we have to get married so fast that I can replace you at Tel-X?" I've now taken out all my uneg.
Josh in front of me seemed frustrated.
"Selena, I know it's not easy. Let's go home first, while waiting for my grandmother, shall we? He must have had a reason to ask these two things from us, "Josh tried to soften me while trying to hold my hand.
"Josh, I don't want to marry you quickly because of someone else's coercion and I'm not interested in replacing you at Tel-X" I said sharply. "Why doesn't your grandmother care a bit about me? Why did she not even ask me, do I mind after I almost died because of you guys?"
"Selena, know Grandma is deeply indebted and regrets what happened to you. This time, I don't know what happened either. We better go home first, calm down, and wait for my grandmother to arrive so we can think of the best way," Josh was still trying to calm me down and trying to hold my hand to go home.
But I refused his arm, and now folded my hand on my chest.
I really don't want to move from here until all my anger is conveyed.
"Let's guess what the reason your grandmother asked for this is from us" I said in a cynical tone.
Josh now seemed to be wasting his breath. Not wanting to enlarge this.
"Selena, it would be wise if we wait for grandma and listen to her." said Josh, who I interrupted immediately.
"Oh.. Are you sure your grandmother will listen to me? I'm not really sure. He'll just do what he thinks is best to keep his treasure."
I said it without any filters.
When I realized those words seemed to be stuck in Josh Rainer's heart.
His face has changed now.
"You.. told my grandmother what just now?"
If I don't put my arm around me all right, I don't hear Josh talking in that cold tone.
Josh is now clutching my hand tight.
"Selena, the woman you just want to keep her property for is my mother's replacement all along. And only he cares about me when everyone never thinks I exist" he said still in a very cold tone.
Josh looked at me deeply, without a smile printed on his face.
I've never seen Josh this angry.
However, Josh must know that his grandmother was very late and had too much power in our relationship.
"I didn't mean Josh... But your grandmother would be too late to ask us to get married as soon as possible just so that there is a successor to the power of the company that is me! I find it hard to tolerate this!" i'm squealing.
"I told you all this time, we should go home and wait for my grandmother to explain everything. Everything can still happen, including whether we should not get married the way you want" Josh said sharply as he turned his back on me. Now he even walked forward without seeing me.
He had mistaken.
"Hey, I didn't say that I didn't want to marry you! I just don't like it this way!" I turned around to follow him and tried to hold his hand.
But Josh Rainer didn't stop, he just walked on without me noticing.
I tried my hardest to make him stop by pulling his arm tightly.
Finally he stopped his steps and looked at me coldly.
"Josh Rainer, I hate to see people leave when the problems we're talking about here aren't over yet!"
I was no longer able to hold back my tears. There were tears coming down my cheeks.
The cold figure in front of me slowly softened.
"For me, grandma is my hero and one of the reasons why I was able to live to this day. I'm begging you, please don't hate him" he said softly.
I don't know, Josh Rainer.
I don't want to be controlled like this. It's not fair to me.
But I don't want to hurt you.
Why does loving someone have to be this sweet?
"Let's go home" he said when there was no answer from me.
I stopped his hand.
"Well, if he still wants us to get married tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next week. And I'm ready if he'll see me as your replacement in Tel-X, but on one condition," I said.
Josh doesn't seem to want to talk about this anymore.
"I'm listening to you" he said still in his cold tone.
I exhaled deeply. "I want Celine and Becca to go to jail so I can rest easy to be your wife and lead the company" she said.
Josh Rainer's eyes were empty.
"Selena, talk about this later."
I gawk.
Josh Rainer's answer clearly doesn't answer what I'm saying.
He turned back and walked towards the car without holding me.
Really left me on the sands of Malibu beach.
Oh myGod.
This was my first discussion and Josh's.
And it feels so gripping.
Is this what you call the ordeal before the wedding?
Hi everybody, I'm back!
Thank you for waiting so long! Hopefully this time I can routinely post about Selena's love story to the end. If you have any suggestions for the future development of the plot of the story, cuss the contents of the comment column yes! Thank you!
Up here, you guys Josh Rainer team or Aldebaran team?
