*********
"What do you think about Elias?"
Esmeralda blinked dumbly at her father, her mind turning blank.
Noticing his daughter's expression, the older man chuckled. "I had a conversation with Patrick yesterday."
Hearing the name of her father's dear friend, Esmeralda's heart dropped. She didn't have a good feeling about where this conversation was going.
"He had brought up a brilliant suggestion." Her father's eyes practically sparkled with excitement, a direct contrast to the building dread in Esmeralda's stomach. "My dear, how do you feel about marrying Elias?"
Elias was Patrick's son, someone that Esmeralda had grown up with. However, that was all he was to her. Elias is just a friend and nothing more to her.
"I don't like Elias that way, Dad." Esmeralda frowned.
"You don't?'' Mr. Fernandez asked after hearing his daughter's reply.
Esmeralda exhaled. "Dad, look, Elias and I are just friends. Nothing more."
"But you two were so close growing up. It would be a good match, Esmeralda," her father said.
Silently, Esmeralda tightly clenched her fists at her sides, trying her best to contain herself. Her father was always like this-- once he had made a decision, he wouldn't listen to any other suggestions, even if he was the one that had asked for those differing opinions in the first place.
"But Dad--"
"Who knows?" Mr. Fernandez cut in before Esmeralda could finish her sentence. "As the saying goes, no good relationship starts without a good friendship first. After your marriage, you might both develop feelings for each other."
"Elias and I--"
Ignoring her, he continued, "The boy might even welcome the arrangement. We always thought that he had a thing for you."
With a wink, Mr. Fernandez stood up from his seat.
"Try talking to him first so that we can get an idea of what he feels about this arrangement, alright? If he has feelings for you, it wouldn't be too bad an idea to get married," he said.
Walking over, he gave his daughter's shoulder a light squeeze. All Esmeralda felt were the chains on her body tightening. She didn't want this marriage; she didn't need to be bound by it. However, nothing she was saying was getting through to her father.
"I'm sure that after you see how much he loves you and how good he is, you will eventually learn to love him too."
With those final words, Mr. Fenandez left the room, leaving his daughter to simmer in the aftershock of the news he had just dropped on her.

This book is very interesting especially Linda's character, I wonder what her personality is, sometimes she is a good sister while sometimes she is behave in a way you wonder what she is. this author's work is very nice although her works are slow burns, the storylines are very interesting. [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]
Finally a story where the rich are also reasonable and not just rumbling about trying to get richer. The writing is smooth and well rounded, the plot flows nicely and keeps you hooked. An intriguing addition to your library. Keep up the good work author. 👏
This storyline is very intrigue although the characters characters grow as the story does too, its worth a try am recommending this to anyone who likes a story that is heartfelt, emotional and very simple. Good work author and keep the good work coming[img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]
This story is interesting and intriguing and what makes the story more interesting is the characters and how they bound well and how mysterious some characters are as well. Especially Linda and Venessa Fernandez their characters is interesting in a way because you won't know what they are thinking nor what they are about to do next. The story plot is nice but the update rate is very slow it will be good if you will be updating at least a chapter daily author. I will still be following this story though because I find it intriguing[img=recommend][img=recommend][img=update][img=update]
I love the story, it really interesting especially the character LINDA... it really interesting and worth reading too😘😘
Lovely story here. It might seem like a low burn at the start since the classic betrayal arc took quite some time and one might have even begin to think that the first male character was actually a decent person. The story does pick up quite well after that. Really love the characters and their chemistry with each other. Great work. Do check it out.
The characters grow with the story as we continue on with the story. The writing is easy to follow and its intriguing.
This story has been interesting from the begging I started reading, all the characters are intriguing and well developed, dear author a job well done because the story very interesting. it's worth reading
The story moves at a fair pace, updates are stable, and the word background is fine but the update is a little low, if the author can update more often and make the story move a little fast, a lot will like this novel because the storyline is an interesting one. Love your story so far! Keep up the good work coming👏👏
