Chapter- 6

Jason's P.O.V

It has been two weeks since my parents dropped the bomb of marriage on me and I have no other option other than agreeing with them as I can't lose the company at this point. I have worked too hard for it. But how can they expect me to marry some random girl they have chosen for me, I am not a simple guy who is free to do whatever he wants. For Christ's sake I am a man with a kid. I have a child to take care of and I am not alone. I know Alison agreed to all my terms but she looked like a really selfish, shallow and greedy woman. I know girls of her type. She is a complete gold-digger. I know she doesn't care about Nathan and she is not interested in being my wife or Nathan's mother, she is only interested in my money. I just hope she doesn't try to mess with Nathan or his life. Otherwise she will regret it big time. But one thing I need to make sure is that Nathan doesn't expect much from her or get attached to her otherwise it will really hurt him if he doesn't get whatever he will be expecting from her. It may also traumatize him and spoil his childhood. He is a very sensitive child and I need to make sure that she stays away from him. He is my only reason to live. I can't let anything happen to him.

Arrrrrrrrrrgh! These thoughts and possibilities are driving me crazy and giving me a lot of stress. I think I need to go to the club and have some drinks to get rid of these thoughts and insecurities and clear my mind. But one thing is for sure I really need to be very cautious about Alison, she is not a really trustworthy person. She is only doing this marriage for getting fame and money and she doesn't care about anything other than herself. I even doubt how long she will go on and support this whole wedding shit.

As soon as I reached the club, I went to the bar and sat on one of the barstools. Then I signalled for the bartender to place my order.

"Hello sir. What can I get for you?"

"Please give me your strongest drink."

"Right away sir."

I saw the bartender mixing different colours of liquids in a glass and then he placed a glass of golden colour liquid infront of me. I gulped the whole drink in one go. Then I asked for a refill. When I was having my third glass , Danny joined me and then we started talking about my messed up life and my upcoming shitty wedding.

"Hey bro! What's up?"

"Don't even ask man. This marriage shit is driving me crazy."

"I mean how can they expect me to get married. I am not over Bella's death yet and I have a kid to take care of as well. They are fucking messing with my mind."

"Jason bro, why are you taking so much stress, it's just a wedding. And moreover I think you should move on. It has been more than five years man. You deserve a break man and so does Nathan from all those nannies. You know even he deserves the love of a mother."

"I know man what you are trying to say but it's not that easy it's much more complicated. You know very well that women only come to me for my money and status. They love my money and looks. They don't love me and neither will they ever love Nathan. They will only cause him pain and neglect him and I don't want him to go through all these. That's why I don't want to get married. Moreover this marriage is nothing but a business deal and I am determined to keep it that way. I will make sure to not meddle in her business and ensure that she doesn't meddle in mine."

"Fine man. Do whatever you feel right. But make sure it doesn't cause any harm to Nathan in any way."

"Alright man, then I think I should make a move. It's quite late and I have to go to office tomorrow. "

"Yeah man. But let me drop you. You look really tipsy and you may land in an accident."

"No man. It's alright. I brought the driver with me. Have fun and don't be late for our meeting tomorrow."

"Ofcourse man, I won't be late . Take care and let Nathan know that his favourite uncle will come to meet him soon."

"Alright man! I will let him know. Okay then bye!"

After coming from the bar, I went straight to the kitchen to drink some water and then I went to Nathan's room to kiss him goodnight.

Being a single father is not so easy and when you are the CEO of a multi-billionaire company, it is even more difficult. I hardly get any time to spend with him but what can I do, if I want to give him every luxury in the world then I need to work hard for it. And moreover spending time with him reminds me so much of her that it hurts a lot but it also keeps reminding me that love can only destroy you and not mend you. So we should never fall in love.

This was one of the reasons why I restrained my self from dating and staffs like that. My rule was simple, I just had one-nightstands with no strings attached. According to me relationships always make things complicated and hated being complicated. I already had too many complications in my life to add more to it. Apart from this Nathan was the other reason. I knew those women will only be concerned about me and my money. They will never care about Nathan. So I didn't want to give him any false hope for his hopes to be shattered later on and break his heart. And I don't want Nathan to taste heartbreak like his mother and destroy his life. I will not let him taste it not now and neither in the near future. He will get whatever he wants always and he will never be disappointed and that's a vow I made to myself when Nathan came in my life. And try to fulfill it in every possible way till my last breath.

After kissing him goodnight, I went to sleep immediately as I have a early meeting tomorrow.
