Win's POV
"Marry me, Win."

I thought I miss heard him but once I looked into his eyes, he was serious. I chuckled as I couldn't help my laughter on how insanely stupid he sounds.

"The cheater wants a bride? Well sorry Mr. Vachirawit, I won't marry you." I stated to him as I turned on my heel.

"You better reconsider your decision. I...am the only one that can save your family's business. I can gladly give you the 20 million today before any impact happens to your hotel." Bright said and I turned back and looked at him.

"You want to trap me? After you cheated on me and humiliated me at that restaurant! You don't deserve to marry me or have the opportunity have me in anyway." I reminded him.

"It's just marriage Win. You won't have nothing to loose." He says and I scoff.

"Nothing to loose? I have my pride too Bright." I tell him

"You have your pride? And yet you're standing here begging for money so I can save your family's business." Bright smirks.

"I thought you would take responsibility for what you did to me five years ago but you still continue to fool me into your traps. I know it's been five years and I should forget about it, but you should know I hold grudges for a lifetime." I reminded him.

Bright finally stands up from the lonely seat he was in from his spacious office. He never lost eye contact with me, but he finally looked away when he decided to look into the window.

"So, you won't marry me because you still hate me?" Bright just asked.

"Yes." I stated and Bright bobs his head.

"Then I'm sorry Win, I won't help your family's hotel. Just like the hundreds of failed businesses I've seen, yours will also fail. 20 million is a lot of money to pay off, I hope you won't struggle too much." He said as I ball up my fist.

I bobbed my head this time as I see that the only person that could of helped me refuse. Without the investment money from Suphakorn, we are done for.

"I'm finally able to realize why your family owns half of Bangkok. You people enjoy watching everyone fail and beg to come to you. So you try to manipulate and trap us into believing that you guys are our only hope. That's how you are able to win it all." I said to him.

"There is no hope in the business world. People who rely on hope, fails in the end-" Bright finally turns around and looks at me. "and you Mr. Metawin will fail. You've already wasted enough of my time. I'm a very busy man." Bright walked back to his chair as he puts back on his glasses.

I ball up my fist even tighter as I already felt the urgency to punch him across the face but I have to restrain myself. I don't want to end up on the news as the guy what punch the richest guy in Bangkok. I turn on my heel and began to walk away.

"Oh, my condition of you marrying me still opens." He said lastly as I scoff and walked out completely.

I saw Mrs. London coming back with a tray but I storm pass her, clearly upset of the results. Bright refuses to help and he won't help my family because I don't want to marry him.

I saw Nani still on his bike and I thought he left like I told him but no he still stayed. I hopped on behind him as I already adjust my helmet.

"Let's go. This place is full of liars and cheaters." I said as I stare down at the guards.

Anyone who works for Bright are obviously scum.

I don't know what the hell I'm going to do now. Bright was my only chance of saving my family's company. I don't know how long the hotel could last as soon as Mr. Suphakorn takes out his investment.

"Thanks Nani for taking me home. I won't be making to you class this afternoon so just let my professors know." I told him as I climb off his bike.

Nani nodded and road off with his bike. I practically burst through the front door, ignoring all the maids that were trying to crowd me. The only person I let beside me was my secretary.

"Where's my mom?" I asked her.

"In the living room with your father. Mr. Opas-iamkajorn just returned." She informed me and I walked into the living room.

I saw my mom looking sad and disappointed while my dad has his hand on his forehead. He also untied his tie and took off his suit jacket.

"Win, my son, please have a seat." My mom said and I nodded and slowly sat in front of my parents. "Your father lost a lot of money today and I fear we will go bankrupt and have to shut down the hotel soon." My mother said and it seems that my dad told her everything.

"Honey and Win, I am so sorry. Sorry that I let you down." My dad said as he grabbed onto my mothers hand. She placed her hand on top of his.

"Dad, it's not your fault. In fact, it's not Mr. Suphakorn fault either. It's Bright's family. They knew about the pull out and the problem with our hotel company." I admit to them.

"Bright? What does his family have to do with it?" My dad asked me.

"Of course it has everything to do with them. The Chivaaree owns half of Bangkok. Which means they own dozens  of shares in peoples companies. That includes Mr. Suphakorn's company. If I did my research right, Bright's family took out their investment and that led Mr. Suphakorn to leave us." I explained to him. My father looked at my mother.

"Even if that's true, we have no power against The Chivaaree family. The damage is already done. Our business is over." My dad said it sounds like he's already admitted defeat.

**********

3 days later....
The screaming and tantrums that my fathers been making in his office for the last few days has gotten worse. We were just informed that they will be closing our hotel down if we don't come up with the money. Co-workers had resigned and customers have slowed down.

I was literally watching my family's business crumble down slowly in front of me and my dad is having the worse impact from it.

Meanwhile on the news, Bright's family invested in another company and is glad to be working with them. It seems that the news has been notified and my companies business is now known for closing down in a few days. No other company wants to help us and it's stressing my dad out.

I came home from school as I await to hear my screaming from my dad. It takes his stress and anger out at home as well.

"Mr. Metawin, your father and mother are in the dining room waiting for you." My secretary told me. I nodded as she followed me all the way to the dining room.

I walked in and saw with my surprise was Bright sitting beside my mother.

"Win, you're home." My father stood up.

"Dad, what's going on?" I questioned him. He just looks at the ground and refuses to give me anymore eye contact.

My mother did the same.

"Signing off an agreement to invest in your hotel. Your dad and I just finished." Bright admitted and I dropped my school bag.

"Are you out of your fucking mind? Dad, how could you?" I walked up to my father's face.

"Win, mind your language. You don't speak that way with your father." My mother told me.

"You, I told you we don't need you trying to trap and manipulate us." I stated to Bright. "Dad, why would you agree?" Tell me!" I started to shout at him.

"It was the only way to save our family's business. I'm sorry son." My dad apologizes.

"Son, what your father did was for the best for us. Bright was willing to us big time and save our family's company. Please understand that he didn't have a choice." My mom tried to tell me but I am still oblivious.

"Mr. And Mrs. Opas-iamkajorn, don't forget about the other agreement in terms of my investment. I will return next week to discuss about it." Bright said as he stood up and bowed. "It's a pleasure to be doing business with you. Goodnight." He said as Bright left my dining room.

"What agreement is he talking about?" I questioned my father. He looks down again and this time I grip onto his shirt as I tower over him. "What is it dad!?" I yelled.

"Win-" My mother gasp.

"I sighed the agreement for you to move in with the Chivaaree house. You will be married to Bright next week." My dad admitted and I punched him across the face.

He staggered from the impact but luckily my mom catch him before he could fall onto the ground.

"You sighed me off? You're own fucking son to get married and live with another family?! Are you out of your mind?" I continue to question him.

"I did it to protect us. We were gonna loose everything!" My dad yelled.

"That doesn't me you can sell me away to someone else. Don't I mean anything to you?" I asked him.

"Of course you do Win. That's why I did it. The Chivaaree family could give you everything. We have a small business so how can I afford your needs?" My dad asked.

"Didn't you ever thought about how I would feel when you sighed those papers? I'll be loosing my freedom, living under another rule, and eating with a different family that's not mine." A tear drop escape my eyes. Oh how my dad made a big mistake when he sold me away to my worse enemy.

The guys that broke my heart and shattered it.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive my selfishness Son." He said to me. I shake my head no and ran upstairs to my room.
