" May I come in madam? " Kylie knocked on the door.

" Kylie, why are you being so polite? "

" Of course I have to after all you are my boss from now onwards "

" I recruited you because you are the only person I believe the most. You are best friend Ms Bourgeois."

Asteria replied with a sweet smile that made Kylie instantly smile.

" Well... how are things going between you and Casper? " Kylie slowly asked.

" Honestly I don’t want to marry him. He is sweet but I can't treat him fairly " Asteria looked at Kylie.

" If you don't like him then you shouldn't marry him, Asteria "

" I know honey, but I can't refuse this relation my parents and his parents are all into this marriage thing "

" so you are going to marry a man without loving? You can talk to your parents."

" I can but they will not accept it. Even though my parents will not refuse my wishes, everything has limits. My dad is a man with pride.

Do you remember when my dad found out about my relationship with Ian? He only accepted Ian because I love him deeply.

After his disappearance he was mad and I refused most of the marriage proposals. Casper is the only man who can understand me, that's why I accept his proposal."

Kylie was silent this whole time. She knows how Andrew was when he found out about his daughter's relationship.

*Flash back*

" ASTERIA!! " Andrew Faith growled.

" Honey, what happened? " Salena Faith asked with panic.

" where is she? "

" Who? "

" Our daughter, Asteria "

" what happe- "

" dad why are you yelling? " Asteria cut off her mother.

" What is this? " Andrew Faith threw the photographs. Asteria looked close at the pictures.

It was her and Ian hugging and kissing in front of a private restaurant.

" Asteria, who is he? " This time it was Salena Faith.

" Mom, dad... It's Ian, my boyfriend. He is a nice guy "

" what? Boyfriend? " Andrew asked with disbelief.

" Dad, I’m not a little girl anymore. I do have a boyfriend "

when it’s about stubbornness Asteria is just like her father Andrew Faith, they both have the same attitude.

" Whoa, calm down. Asteria, honey... you are grown by age but you are a little for us. Okay, we understand you have a boyfriend but do you know anything about him? " Salena Faith asked her daughter calmly.

She is the only person who can control both daughter and father.

" We both were in a relationship for so long and he moved from M-city to H-city. And he is an orphan."

" What? Orphan? Asteria just forgot about that guy. You are not going to be with him " Andrew strictly ordered.

" Dad, what is the problem? "

" I can’t give my daughter to a guy who has no family background and who knows he maybe a gold-digger? "

" Dad, Ian is not like that "

" you are raising your voice against father for a guy? "

" Dad...why can't you understand me? "

" There is no more talking about that guy. Leave."

Asteria ran to her room with tears.

" You were a bit rude to her."

" I, rude...Salena, I'm her father and I have some dreams about my daughter's future and she is wasting her time and life with a guy. I can't accept it. I spoiled her too much."

Andrew sighed and sat on the coach " and I can't be with you two..." Salena Faith sat beside her husband.
