His Promise to Prove them Wrong..

***** Few years ago *****

Janet and standing beside Dylan like a scared kitten. She held him tightly and Dylan was holding her hands to give her support. Janet looked around the big mansion which was designed in Italian style. But what she was afraid of was the people living in this mansion. The Braxtons. The wealthiest and powerful family in the C country and known for their ruthless way of dealing with enemies.

Janet’s grip on Dylan hardened even more when she heard the footsteps coming close.

-” Don't worry. No one can touch you when I'm with you. “

Dylan assured Janet who was looking like she would faint at any moment. But he can't blame her because his family can be the cruellest.

Soon two men and two women came and sat on the couch and an old man in his wheelchair accompanied by his nurse. The man in the wheelchair was Hunter Braxton, Dylan’s grandpa. He was looking weak with poor health.

-” Dylan, what is this supposed to mean..? “ A middle aged man asked in a cold tone.

Janet looked at that man who was looking like the old man. So she realised it was Charles Hunter, Dylan’s father. He was looking cold with a dark face.

-” Dad, she is Janet Ezekiel. My girlfriend and I want to marry her. “ Dylan looked at his dad with the same cold expression.

-” What do you mean..? “ Charles yelled. His voice was echoing in the hall due to the intensity of his voice.

Jannet flinched in fear and snuggled more close to Dylan. Dyaln noticed her fear and squeezed her hands to make her calm.

-'' I meant what I said dad. I love Jane and I won’t marry Alice. “

Dylan said with a determined face and looked at his sister in law Clara, who looked unhappy. Alice was Clara's younger sister, and Charles wanted Dylan to marry Alice.

-” I'm sorry sister Clara, but I don't love Alice and I don't want to give in to a business marriage like you and brother Ivan. I have found my love and I will only Marry her. “

-” Dylan, don't act like a fool. She doesn't have anything to support you in the business unlike Alice. “ Ivan Braxton, the elder brother of Dylan, lectured his brother.

-” Sorry brother. But I'm not like you. I only need her to support me emotionally.” Dylan snapped back as he didn't like his brother pointing his fingers to his love.

Ivan shook his head in failure because for him love is just a fantasy which never existed in the world. He loved business and the power from it rather than believing in love. So Dylan was not surprised by his brother.

-'' Then be ready to lose everything Dylan. Because you're not gonna get a penny from my inheritance. Now choose what you want. Your rightful shares or this girl whom you announced as your love. “ Charles gave the ultimatum.

-” Honey, what are you saying..? He is our son. You can't do this. He will listen to us. just give him some time. “ Helena, who was silent all the time, spoke for her son.

-” No Helena, can't you see he is blind in his love towards this girl. “

Charles said softly to his wife. He knew as a mother she can't accept all of this. But at the same time he wanted his son to realise love can't give him anything.

-” But listen to me.. “ Helena again tried to plead for her son with teary eyes. But Dylan stopped her from doing so.

-” Mom.. I won't listen and I won't understand anything. If you want me to choose between my love and your wealth then without any hesitation I will choose my love. “

Janet was taken back by Dylan’s words. She was happy and sad at the same time. Her love chose her over his wealth and money but she was sad because his family won't accept their love. Helena ran to Dylan and cupped his cheek.

-” Dear, think again. She can't give you anything. Take back what you have said and ask forgiveness from dad. Just listen to your mom. “ Helena cried.

Dylan wiped her tears and smiled and hugged her into his embrace..

-” Mom, she can give me happiness and love which I will never get from Alice. And that's enough for me.. “

Helena freed herself from her son’s embrace and walked to Janet who was shedding tears and frightened by the whole shouting. As Helena stood in front of her, Janet raised her head a little and saw Helena standing with her palms joined together.

-'' I'm begging you, leave my son. He will lose everything because of you. He is not used to a life like you have. He will suffer if he comes with you. A mother is begging you, please leave my son and go away from his life. “

Janet was standing there like a statue. But her heart pained in the thought of leaving Dylan. He was fighting with his family for their love and she can't fail him. But Helena’s tears and pleading was making her willpower weak. She looked at Dylan who shook his head in disagreement. His eyes showed desperation and fear of losing her along with his love towards her. She can't make him suffer.. She can't fail him. They can't live without each other.

The emotions in Dylan’s eyes were empowering the pleading of Helena in Janet’s heart.Janet looked down in guilt. But the very next second Janet was laying on the floor while covering her cheek and Helena was standing like a volcano in front of her.

-” Mom, don't touch her. “

Dylan ran to Janet who was crying silently. Her cheek was red with the hand prints of Helena. Dylan helped her to stand up from the floor and wrapped his hands around her shoulder and hugged her close to him in a protective way. His eyes were dark with anger but he was restraining himself as he could understand his mother and this news was unexpected for her.

-” Don't you dare to touch her. You have to face me before you could harm her. “

Dyan shouted specifically to no one but his words pricked into Helena's heart as she felt his son was talking to her.

-” Lan, please don't shout at your family because of me.They have the right to scold us. “

Janet said in her soft voice while holding his t-shirt. She could see Helena was hurt by Dylan’s words. Dylan took a deep breath to calm him down.

-” Now you will raise your voice against your mom for this good for nothing girl. Wow… “ Ivan mocked his brother.

Dylan was about to snap back as he can't see his family insulting Janet only because she is not from a wealthy family like him. He knew if she belonged to a business family his dad would have agreed to their marriage without any hesitation. But Janet put her one hand over his chest to stop him and it was useful though.

Dylan took Janet to his grandpa, Hunter Braxton who was watching them silently. He was whispering something but it was not audible to them because of the previous shouting. His half body was lifeless and his face was twisted to one side as if she had a massive stroke.

Dylan sat on his knees and asked Janet to follow him. Janet sat beside the old man but she was afraid of the old man too. After all, he was the old master of the Braxton family. But to her surprise Hunter gave a faint smile to them which was more looking like a smirk because of his disfigured face. He was moving his one finger faintly which Dylan noticed. He held his grandpa’s hands with love and said..

-” I Know grandpa, you will surely understand me… there is only one person in this house who knows me better and it's you. “ Dylan kissed Hunter’s hands.

Hunter rolled his eyes towards Janet who held his hand like Dylan with a faint but guilty smile. He was again whispering, so Dylan and Janet leaned their head near to his lips so that they could hear him.

-” Don't be.. Guilty dear.. They won't understand…What is love now.. But one day… they will… that day… they will accept you… take.. Care of my grandson… . I know you love him more than anything… he is such a brat… but I.. Know… He will make you happy…Always… Be with… each other… In happiness… In sadness… prove them that They are wrong… prove them true love can… conquer anything… I know you will… I trust my grandson… And your love.. My blessing will always be with you my dears… “

Hunter tapped on their hands with his index finger as if he was blessing them. Janet smiled at the old man. She heard a lot about Hunter from Dylan but today she realised he is the most beautiful soul in this family.

-” I will grandpa.. I will take care of him and will love him endless.. “ Janet promised Hunter which brought a smile to his face.

-” Take care of yourself grandpa. I will surely come to meet you. “ Dylan said while looking at his dad.

He took Janet’s hand in his and walked towards the main door when Charles called him from behind…

-” Dylan, you will regret it.. Life on the outside is not as easy as you think. You won't have servants around you to obey your commands.”

-” I'm ready to face the outside world, dad. “ Dylan replied without turning back.

-” You are nothing without the money and power of the Braxton family, Dylan. One day you will come back to me fully defeated. You are a big zero without me… “ Charles smirked.

Because he knew his son who was born and lived in the centre of money can't lead a middle class life for a long time and he will come back to him leaving his so-called love. But the next second Dylan turned his head and looked at his dad..

-” You are wrong dad.. I will prove you wrong. I will show you that my love is stronger than your money and power…

I, Dylan Braxton, promise you that one day I will create my own empire without your money and power… I promise you that one day I will stand with you…I promise one day I will make my empire number one in the country leaving you in second place.

I promise, I will prove to you that my love can conquer the world without you… “

Dyalm said with full Confidence and then looked at his grandpa who had a proud smile on his face. Dylan again took steps to the outside when they again heard a yell…

-” If you left with her today, then you won't have any family, mind it Dylan. “ His dad shouted again.

Dylan was not bothered by his dad as they never understood what he wanted. It was only his grandparents who knew it.. But today he has someone who understands him more than his grandparents and gave him the love which he always longed for. He was ready to leave his money minded family for that gem.

But Janet was frozen at her steps listening to Charles. She was okay with them disowning Dylan from their wealth because she loved him, not his wealth. But losing family was not acceptable for her. Dylan noticed her hesitation and pulled her to him…

-” I have you.. And you are enough for me… and about them they will accept us one day. So don't worry. “

But Dylan knew there won't be a day his family will accept his love and janet. But if he didn't lie she would be hesitant to be with him in the guilt of Separating him from his family. Janet nodded her head and started to move as she believed one day they will accept their love. Dylan intertwined his fingers with her and went out from the Braxton mansion to their new life… more specifically to their struggling days.

******

Janet came back to her senses and she took a deep breath to control her emotions. It was four years they got married and the Braxton family neither accepted them nor their love. They were just pretending to be on good terms only because of the late old master of the Braxton family. He took a promise from Dylan and Charles that they will hide this cold war from the world because it will harm the Braxton corporation which he built with his hard work and effort.

In every party she will meet Helena or other Braxton family only as a part of drama so that they won't lose their face in front of the world and media. Janet always tried to pacify her mother in law but in the end it was her who always got hurt like today. But it was a different case for Dylan. After his grandpa’s death he had no emotional attachment to that house and people except his sister.

Janet started to inhale and exhale a few more times. When she felt her emotions were under control she walked back to the party with plastering that elegant smile on her face….
