"Father please don't do this..." I say with plea in my voice. I look him dead in the eyes.

"Father I don't love her, I never will. You can't just make me marry her just for some stupid business merge," a bit of anger in my voice starts to show. My father doesn't say anything he just keeps writing things down.

"You will marry Olivia." He says as he continues to read over some papers. It's as if he doesn't care, as if he doesn't care about me. I look down, I don't feel like I can give him eye contact.

"Father please, I can't. I love someone else, someone who's better for me. Someone who loves me for me, someone who actually understands me," I say trying to not sound weak in front of him. He ignores me and continues to read some papers.

"You can't make me do this! I just won't get married to her. Go ahead take away everything from me I don't care! I don't need the money or my inheritance to the black fortune! I don't care about it" I say looking up with anger in my voice. I could give one damn about it all. All I want is for Carmen to actually be able to look at me without looking disgusted at me. Every time she looks at me I even feel disgusted at my self for what I've been putting her through.

"I'm doing this for your own good son, I wouldn't have done this if I didn't think it was good for you," he said looking up finally to meet my gaze.

"You really think this is for my own good father?" I question walking a bit closer to his desk.

I scuff at him, "The girl I love can't even stand to look at me! She thinks I cheated on her when I didn't! You forced me to take Olivia with me to that streaming con and guess what? One of her friends saw me with her and told Carmen!" I look him dead in the eyes.

"She thinks I've been dating Olivia, when in reality I'm not. And I never want to ever again! The girl I actually care for thinks I don't care for her!" I say my hands turning into fist.

"Are you done throwing your little tantrum son?" My dad says calmly putting down the papers and taking off his reading glasses.

I don't answer his question.

"How about this son, if you don't marry her I won't take away your inheritance. How about we put something else at stake. Hmm?" He says to me.

"How about instead of taking your inheritance away I'll just take away your brothers Elijah's inheritance away. I know you'll do anything for your younger brother. So you either marry Olivia in a couple months or your brother suffers for your selfishness," he folds his arms sitting back in his chair.

I'm shocked at what he said. He can't be serious can he? My jaw clenches at what he just said. I can't let my brother suffer because of what I don't want to do.

He knows i would do anything for Elijah even if that means I get hurt in the process. Elijah and I have always been close since we were just kids. We would do anything for each other. We're each others ride or dies. I just can't let him suffer...I just can't.

"Fine..." I say, my father smiles at me delighted at my answer unlike me. I hate that I have to do this.

But mark my words I will find a way out of this one way or another. Without getting my brother involve, or anything hurt in the process.

"I'm only doing this for your own good son. Look once you see Olivia in white walking down the isle in a couple months you'll forgot all about that girl you so proclaim to be in love with," he says picking up his papers again. I wanted to say something, to speak up but I couldn't. I knew whatever I even said my father would just ignore it.

I just groan and walk out of my fathers office. I slam the door behind me and walk down the hallway. I pass by a maid a stop her, "do you know if my mother is here?" I ask simply.

"No she's not here right now Mr.Black. She left a couple minutes ago to a business meeting regarding the school," the maid says. I nod to her and walk away.

Great I can't even talk to the one person who genuinely cares about me in this situation. I would talk to Elijah about this but I don't want him to get worried about me, I know he's got other things on his plate right now. And also because he doesn't give out great advice like my mom.

I look down at my phone to check the time.

4:47PM

Olivia Wilson:

You said you'd come around today where are you it's almost 5:00???

5:00 PM

Olivia Wilson:

Hey it's already 5:00 it's dinner time. I don't want to walk into the dining hall alone and look stupid since I already told everyone you're my daddy now.

5:03 PM

Olivia Wilson:

Hello???

5:15 PM

Olivia Wilson:

Zane hello? I can't go in there alone! I'll look like that loser girl Carmen if I go in without you. Don't want to look like her.

5:32 PM

Olivia Wilson:

Zane, if you don't come back right now I won't eat! And it'll be all you're fault. Do you really want that? Have the guilt of me not eating because of you?

5:58 PM

Olivia Wilson:

Fine I'll be in my dorm room.

Fuck it's 8 PM already. She most likely didn't even eat. God why is she such a pain. I take in a deep breath. I need to go get her some food, I roll my eyes at myself. I hate that I still care, I hate that I get guilty when she does things like this.

I leave the house and walk to my car. I unlock it with the keys and get in starting up the engine. I drive to the nearest food place and go through the drive through. I order food for the both of us then drive back to the school.

I drive into the schools parking lot and park my car. I grab the food, then get off the car closing the door behind me and putting the alarm on. I walk over to the littles dorm and walk towards the elevator.

As I walk to the elevator I see Avery and Justin seated on the couches in the lounge part of the dormitory alone. What are they doing out here alone? It's already 10:00 PM they should be in the dorms with their doms already. I text Casey and Quinn on where both Avery and Justin are at just in case they didn't now.

As I walk up to them they look both worried and a bit traumatized in a way?

"Hey you two, what are you both doing out here late at night and alone?" I ask placing the food down and bending to their eye level. They look at me and Justin looks like he's been crying. Are they okay? Did something happen?

"Oh, we just...Zane we have something to tell you..." Avery was the first to speak up. Justin just nods his head in agreement.

"What is it?" I ask. I'm kinda getting worried now.

"We kinda...well um...Olivia is cheating on you!" Avery says and starts to get a bit fidgety.

Oh...

I nod my head softly. Just as I was about to speak up I hear footsteps coming towards us. It was both Casey and Quinn coming in.

They both went straight to Avery and Justin. They gave them strong looking hugs. Both of the girls started to tell them off on why they were gone and that they started to get worried about them. And to never do it again. Both Avery and Justin try to speak up but then are told to be quiet by Quinn.

"Thanks for tell us they were here! We were so worried about them," Quinn says to me in a great full matter.

"Now we gotta go to the office and tell them that they're not missing," Casey says getting Avery to stand up.

We say our byes and they leave. I grab the food and head over to the elevator. I walk in and the doors ding close behind me. I chuckle a little to myself. Of course she would cheat.

Did I care? No not one bit, I could give one damn on what she does. As long as she doesn't do it with me. The door dings open and I walk out, walking towards. Olivias dorm room.

I think on knocking on the door at first and curtesy but I decide not to. I twist the door handle and let myself in. As soon as I walk in I get a whiff of a pumpkin spice candle.

"Olivia i brought you some food!" I yell out as I walk over to place it down on the table. I pull out a chair and sit down. I get my food placing it in front of me then Olivia comes out.

Her hair is a mess and her make it is a bit ruined. Her pink lipstick is smudge and a bit of her mascara is also smudged. Behind her follows a guy, who I don't know. But I have seen him around school. He gives me a bit of a smirk and kisses Oliva on the lips.

"If you want to fuck my sloppy seconds go do it in private also it looks like you're eating her damn face," I say as as I take a bite out of my chicken Alfredo which has gotten cold from the car ride.

I grab it and take it to the microwave putting it in for a minute. I could feel Olivia roll her eyes at me. Seconds later I hear footsteps leaving. I turn to see the guy isn't here anymore.

"What the hell is your problem?" Olivia says aggressively at me. I shake my head.

"My problem? Says the whore who tells the whole damn school I'm their daddy now then brings in a guy to fuck. Oh and also guilt trips me on feeling bad because you couldn't go into the dinning hall alone!" The microwave beeps and I take my chicken Alfredo out. I sit on the chair and take another bite.

She says nothing to me and takes her food out of the take out bag. It finally hits me though, how would have Avery and Justin know she was cheating on me? There's two options they were in here and heard them two fucking each other (Which would be kinda funny but I'd feel bad they had to go through that traumatizing experience) or two they saw them two walking in at the same time.

I'd go with option two seeing as how I found both of them looking just a couple minutes ago.

OH GOD THEY HEARD THOSE TWO GOING DOWN ON EACH OTHER...

I feel so bad, I'd get traumatized too if I were them.

Olivia sits down in front of me. As soon as she does I get up and grab my plate. I walk towards the door and Olivia grabs my forearm.

I shove her away from me, "get the hell off of me, if we're not in public playing this whole charade for my father don't touch me," I say leaving slamming the door behind me before she could even talk back to me.

I walk to the elevator, instead of pressing the lobby button I press down to go to Carmens floor. I take a bite out of my food and then walk out the elevator once the doors open.

I go to her dorm room and just look at her door. I think about knocking just so she could open the door and I could look at her just for a couple seconds. But I know that would just piss her off.

I sigh to myself and slid myself down on the wall sitting on the floor. Sometimes I just come here to feel closer to her. I know I can't get to close to her because if I do I know she'll get more mad at me. She'll think I'm playing her.

I take a bite out of my chicken and eat some of the noddles. I put my head back onto the wall. All this time we've been apart all I think about is her, her face, her laughter, her smile, her body. God her body...

I sigh.

I can't be here moping around. If I want to get her back I need to do something.

And I have to do something that'll make her realize that I never meant to hurt her...
