The One Night Destiny
Threats

Happy reading!

Lucas seemed to have just arrived at his luxury home, the arrival of the man had been awaited since by his personal assistant.

"Sir, you've been waiting for the big master" Alden said as soon as Lucas got out of his luxury car.

"That's what you want to talk about that ridiculous matchmaking problem. He really doesn't understand what I've been saying since yesterday."

"It's not just that, sir. This time the great master also gave an ultimatum."

Lucas choked. However, the man was not afraid to face the threat of the father who was used to force whatever he did not want. "Indeed, the old man threatened what else?" Lucas frowned. Waiting for Alden's answer while continuing to step where the assistant continued to accompany him.

"You'd better hear it directly from the great lord, he's been waiting for you with Mrs Belinda."

"Alright, Alden. Looks like the threat this time is really serious until you don't want to tell me directly." Lucas further accelerated his footsteps after entering the door of the house. His destination was the dining room, a place where his parents were already waiting for him.

Upon arrival, Lucas was immediately greeted with innuendo. "Sunny morning, Lucas. Which other woman did you sleep with last night?"

Lucas was a little surprised. However, the surprise was not shown. "What are you talking about, Dad? That night I studied many cooperation proposals in the office. Until finally, I was tired and fell asleep in my private room."

Hearing his son's reply, Edward immediately chuckled. For him it was very funny because Lucas was still evasive, even though all the information he had obtained from Alden who accompanied his son last night to the Club. "You're still lying. Ask your assistant?"

Lucas immediately looked. Staring at Alden with sharpened eyes.

"Bad you are, Alden. I told you not to tell Daddy about this."

Of course it was not said directly by Lucas. However, Alden could see clearly that at the moment Lucas was really mad at him.

"Oh my God, what punishment will I receive in the office?" alden muttered, beginning to feel faint after seeing Lucas' sharp gaze.

"Daddy doesn't understand you much, Lucas. Where is your life going in the future? You often do not focus on work. Even not only that, some media often catch you being with women and worse, not just one woman who loaded the media, but different."

Seeing her husband's anger, Belinda tried to calm down. "Darling, calm down! We can talk about all this well. Lucas will understand our wishes."

"This is because you always spoil him. Lucas is an adult, I just don't want him to impregnate a woman who could ruin our family's good name. So from now on, don't ever defend her again!" Edward was a little more decisive. However, he did not yell at Belinda. For Edward, his wife was a very valuable woman even more he prioritized from any business.

"Already, Dad. Don't say that to Mommy" Lucas cut off his parents' conversation.

"Aren't you aware that this is all because of your stubborn nature?"

"I'm bored, Dad. Why is it always about the matchmaking? I told you that I could find a woman myself to be my wife. So you don't have to bother choosing it." Lucas showed a firm face rejecting the father's plan. It shows that the man really doesn't like it.

Hearing Lucas' defense, Edward immediately chuckled. "How could I not be worried? My son spends every night with women who have no clear origins."

Lucas pressed his shoulders with both hands. "Come, Dad! Have you never been young?"

"I was young, but not like you. You can ask your mother how I've been loyal to her for 7 years before her family agrees I'm marrying her."

Belinda smiled as she rubbed the back of her husband's hand to relieve the anger that was controlling the middle-aged man. "Patience, dear. Let's talk about this slowly!" After seeing the smile on Edward's face, Belinda's gaze began to turn to look at her son. "What Daddy said is true, you should be able to follow your Daddy, Lucas. Now put it this way, if it's true you can choose your own woman to be your wife. Then we'll give you that freedom."

"But there's a timeframe. Just one month. Daddy thinks it's enough for you to choose a woman who is our equal" Edward said firmly, adding that his wife's words left Lucas stunned.

"Come, Dad! One month is a very short time. It's a matter of choosing a life partner, why do you give it only one month? Do not equate to buying a house that you can choose more easily," Lucas protested as soon as he heard his father's words about the time he judged too short.

"If you can't, that means you have to follow our desire to marry Flora. She's a beautiful woman, an Oxford graduate, and now she's CEO of her company. Daddy thinks he deserves to be Edward Snowden's son-in-law. After all, Flora was your college friend back in London."

Lucas, who knew the woman well, seemed to disagree with her father's choice. The man was tired of hearing that his parents would set him up. However, only this time Edward said who the woman was his choice.

"Why should Flora? No way! Now I can imagine my freedom will be lost for a moment, my life will be restrained, and the night world will never be able to feel again" murmured Lucas who began to rack his brain.

"How, Lucas? She's beautiful and smart, Mommy thinks Daddy's decision to choose her is very appropriate, unless, indeed, you can find a woman who is worth it."

"Of course I can." Quickly, Lucas who realized from his daydream immediately answered him.

"Okay, one month, you have to introduce the woman to us! If the time limit is later you still can not make your own choices. So, inevitably, you have to accept the match and if you refuse, Daddy will act decisively by demoting you as CEO of the company and Alden will replace you."

Instantly Lucas was stifled more shocked than ever. The threat sounded ridiculous to him. The shadow at the time Alden ruled this and it began to seep into the mind to make it more and more have no choice but to obey the wishes of Edward.

"All right, I'll take that woman in front of you. One month, okay! Are you satisfied now?"

"Mommy's happy to hear that, baby. Anyway Mommy and Daddy really can't wait to see the woman of your choice. Actually in addition to wanting to keep the good name of our family, we also want to immediately fondle grandchildren. You're the only son, Lucas, you're our only hope. So Mommy hope, you want to understand why we're pushing you like this."

Lucas did not listen to Belinda's words completely. His two eyes were currently glancing towards Alden with a sharp look.

"You don't want to say that threat. Basic, Alden. Watch out!" inner Lucas who again felt annoyed at his assistant.
