Unexpected Chances
Page 19
“Very,” he answers, as he disconnects the call.
Sliding into the back of the Lexus, I instruct the driver to take me to the airport. As I board the plane, I’m shaken to see my father waiting on me.
“Bethany, can you not control your husband?”
“Yes sir, I have it all within reach.”
“I see it differently, Bethany. I told you to finalize this marriage and make it happen years ago.
“I understand,” I let out, as I slouch into the leather cabin chair.
“Understand this, if you and I are going to climb that ladder of success; it needs to happen. I’ll not allow this to carry on for much longer. Fix it or he’s out of the picture.”
“Daddy, I said I have a plan,” I start to say, but I’m interrupted.
“No excuses. Handle it or I will.”
“Yes, sir.”
With nothing else to say, I look out at the tarmac and watch the runway pass by. I don’t understand the depth to why my father feels the need to ruin Carter. I’ve asked several times why he thought this was the best choice for me, and always the same answer was returned “A father knows best, dear.”
If he knew I was in love with someone else, I’d pay the ultimate price. I just have to figure out how to make the cards fall in my lap or destroy the ones in my path.
Until then I have to play it safe, and keep myself from the destruction of my father.
