《Alexander Black》The contract
Advertisement
"In a box. A huge box where a lot of people can fit.",Alexander was slightly annoyed with her question.
"Alexander! Please show respect. They're our guests tonight." His father spoke.
"Guest? We thought we were family friends--"Thomas said.
"It's either family or friends,Mr Hawkins and you're neither. Too bad." Alexander hated these Hawkins. He only tolerated them because they were business partners.
They were influential and powerful people but they were not as rich and powerful as The Black Family let alone Alexander.
"Bella, I thought we made it clear that Alexander and Rosalyn would get married and give our family as well as yours a heir." Gabriella spoke, glaring at Bella.
"What?" Alexander almost shouted. What the hell did his mom do behind his back?
"Yes Gabriella. We made it clear but I also added that if my son says no then no means no." Bella smiled.
"That wasn't part of the contract and you already signed it."Gabriella returned the smile. It was like they were fighting but wasn't showing it.
"What contract?" Alexander asked and glanced at everyone sitting on the table. They all had the same question in mind. All of them except Bella and The Hawkins.
"Alex, baby. Your mom and mine sighed a contract with stated that you and I are to be married and give our family a heir." Rosalyn spoke in her sweet voice.
"Why was there a contract?" Alexander's grandfather asked angrily.
"Because your mother was low on money and she needed some so...we made a contract. I give her money in exchange, she give me her son for my daughter." Gabriella said.
"Great....I was given away." Alexander mumbled, his blood boiling at what his mother did.

"You need money? You could've just asked me!" John shouted at his wife.
Bella was quiet for a minute before she replied, "I am in debt." She was embarassed to say that to her family.
Bella owned her own boutique. She's a fashion designer.
"Why didn't you tell me?" John was beyond angry at his wife.
"Calm down, son! Obviously, she was embarassed. But still, Bella you shouldn't have done that." Their grandfather spoke.
"I-I'm sorry...I'm sorry Alex--please forgive me--",Bella was on the verge of crying.
"That's why you always spoke of Rosalyn in front of me." Alexander mumbled, realization hitting him, "You could've just asked me for the damn money! I would've gave you without asking you any question."
Alexander was angry. His grip tightened on the fork on his hands.
"Calm down, Alex. What's done is done. What else was in the contract Mr Hawkins?" Kenzo was a calm person unlike Alexander, he was his opposite.
"If they don't get married, the money asked will be doubled when returned." Thomas responded.
"How much did you take, mom?" Mike asked Bella.
"20 Billion Dollars.",Bella replied in a low voice.
"What?" John shouted in disbelief.
Thomas spoke, "Mr Black, I gave your wife twenty Billion Dollars. I added my savings in it and I also took my wife's and daughter's savings. Not only that, we had to ask from my close friends. It was hard for us to get that money but we managed. Listen, Mr Black, we wanted our daughter to marry Alexander that's why we did that. If you can't do that then respect the contract or your wife will go to jail."
"Jail it is." Mike mumbled but no one heard him.
Billions weren't a problem for the Blacks. They had a lot of money but 20 Billions times two means 40 Billions and they didn't have that much.
They may be rich but forty billions were literally the much they had in total. Giving them forty billions would be like going bankrupt for them.
Everyone were extremely worried except Alexander and His Grandfather.
"I'm so so sorry Alex...but we can't go bankrupt...please Marry Rosalyn..." John said and everyone looked at him in disbelief.
