Bypassing dilemmas

Zane

I wanted to get away from there, I couldn't stand being there.

I can't believe that I'm getting married...

especially to someone, I don't know

Putting the toilet lid down I seated myself and thought about the conversation with my parents:

*flashback*

"... no zane you listen to me, you will marry her whether you like it or not!"

"Mom I'm old enough to make my decision and I sure as hell don't want to marry that damn girl - hell I don't even know her! I don't even love her so why ruin her love life marrying her when she could marry whoever she wants!"

"Zane your mothers right, if you marry her we join businesses with her fathers business too"

"**** you and your dumb business! Why me! I swear to god if I marry her I'll make sure I make her life living hell!"

"Zane don't you dare hurt her! She will accept this marriage and I've already assured her parents that you will take good care of her"

"I've has enough, you need anything mom, call me unless it's something to do with that damn girl"

"Where are you going!"

"Spending my remaining free time with my soon to be ex-girlfriend, seriously I would rather marry Camilla than Layla!"

"Camilla! Seriously Zane! She doesn't even work! She's always out partying and drinking! Talk about Camilla with such audacity and her name isn't Layla it's Elena "

"I'm not taking this anymore"

*door slams*

"This is harder than we expected, Shawn"

*end of flashback*

I could try to escape this situation and tell mum I have an important case going on...

Yes, that sounds like a good scheme!

3rd person

So that's exactly what zane did, he quickly ushered himself out the front door without being noticed and took his phone out to call his mom and explain he had to go to work immediately for an emergency.

Elena

I was on my way to give the beverages to the guests when I saw a silhouette making their way towards the main entrance, as I wonder to myself, could that be the guy I'm supposed to marry?

Well alas, he made the right choice to leave the house.

I walk the room where the guest was and placed the snacks and drink for the visitor. Then she looked at me with empathy and I don't know why I actually felt sorry for her. Now that I think of it I would love to I've her as my mother in law but I still don't want to marry him

After a few hours of talking and getting to know my ”mother in law,” I surely feel comfortable talking to her as if she's my own mother. We were too busy talking about my job and his job are so alike that we may meet anyways on a lawsuit.

It was time to go as the sundown was now in sight, my mother requested to drop Sarah off but she insisted she didn't live that far and wouldn't want to trouble us, and escorted herself out the mansion.

Now is the right time to talk to my ma about all this. I need to tell her how I can't get married because I want to focus on my job, and how I already have a boyfriend and getting married to a complete stranger is a big error and how-

”Elena, you okay there?”

”uh yeah... Mom, I want to talk to you about this, I'm not sure if I want to marry him I, I mean... I... Have a boyfriend-”

Mom just looks at me blankly and expects me to laugh out and cry out it was a prank but It wasn't and I had to get my point through by making my face a serious as possible but that only ended up as a big fail as I ended up with a slap across my face.

The look on my mom's face was full of terror and I dare not look at her

”How could you say that! Since when have you had a boyfriend and why didn't you tell me this before! I'm sorry Elena but it's too late you are gonna have to break up with your boyfriend because I cannot halt the marriage anymore because it will break the contract and the peace between us two companies will be at risk! Hope could you say something so foolish! You stupid girl!”

I felt absurd myself, I couldn't pol at her in the eye so I forced myself to focus on the door handle, I actually regret even telling my mom this and I don't know why I bit my lips to hold back from crying,

”Elena how could you be so ridiculous! I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that and go upstairs and think about what you just said!”

Yep, years exactly what I will do, not think about the stuff I did because I indeed said the right thing I just have to think of a way to flee from this problem- I mean I can just run away, I have enough money to go Dubai and find myself an apartment there, but that means I can never see my family again and if I come back they wouldn't want me back... And the peace between the two companies will be tarnished!

Too much stuff to think about

I'll just sleep on it for now

...right tomorrow I need to get up a few minutes earlier so I avoid my mom before she gets up and makes breakfast. First I need to have a cold shower to cool myself down then I'll just eat on the way to the headquarters

Sounds like a decent plan
