Marry Me, Again

~ROWLAND~

"Stop jesting, Sionis. No one is amused.”Mom cried, pale and rigid as death, incongruously framed against the gay, lighted Christmas tree.

Dad seemed not to hear, as he fixed Leona with his merry eyes.

"You can have the papers for her, Romeo.” Dad breathed gulping down his wine at once.

Mom sprang up startlingly and went over to Dad.

"Tell me you're only jesting! How can you also take her over me, you ungrateful man!”

"Father, would you please reconsider? That firm has been run by... "

That was Vera.

"That is my word, and my word is the law!” Dad flamed before walking out of the hall.

Here we go again with another failed Christmas, just as wished. Christmas is for weaklings and those with false hopes, like Romeo.

Does he think he can have her? In his dreams.

"Mother don't worry I will talk to Father but I'm not against fathers words. Leona is still your daughter-in-law... "

"My head", Leona cried cutting Romeo off.
