A Gamble

It's been half an hour of silence since Damon the head did the Douglas family ended the call. No one wants to speak they are waiting for Robert or Bonna to speak. 'what will I do? I don't want to marry James but I don't want to see my family getting devoured by the Douglas' seeing her grandfather in a difficult situation she gritted her teeth and decided "grandpa, I will marry James you don't have to worry about me and expand our business" they sigh the Douglas are too powerful for them to handle.

"Bonna, no! don't decide in rush I'm sure we will find a solution for this don't give up okay?" Amelia didn't want her daughter to get married in a bad person she's sure that she will get bullied. "William what's your stand for this?" Robert ask his only son. "Dad I don't want my daughter to be bullied I want to fight them if we can't really handle we can just go into other city and develop our company. I can't stand and watch while they bully my daughter and threatening our family I want to fight back even if there's a little chance that we can beat them I still want to try, if we win both our family and Douglas family will go down if we lose we just need to go to other city" the Jenner family is really determined right now to fight the Douglas even if the odds are against them.

"yes we need to fight them"

"even if we can't win we still give them a heavy blow"

"yes the Wades are cunning so they might take over the companies that we will be attacking"

Just then the butler came and said "Master the friends of Bonna are all here they want to tell you something"

"go and bring them in"

The four beauties walk in and bow to Robert, their families are close to Jenner family. Jane, Nicole, Megan, and Julie are all childhood friends of Bonna. They often go to Jenner's Villa to play with Bonna, and they also call Robert their grandpa. "grandpa greetings" they greeted Robert. "what are you doing here my grandchildren?" Robert can sense the determination and anger from them. "grandpa from us the rocks family we acknowledge the Jenner family as our friend and family as well so my grandpa sent me here to deliver a message that if you fight the Douglas you can count on us" the Jenner family including Robert are shocked they expect that no family will be willing to align with them because of Douglas. "the Acosta, Lopez and Gonzalez will also fight along side with you" they're so moved because of them.

"with the help of Acosta, Lopez, Rocks, and Gonzalez we have a chance to beat the Douglas" the alliance of these families are not easily to deal with even the Douglas will need to be careful if they want to fight this alliance. Robert is so delighted "my grandchildren I will call your grandfathers and express my gratitude also if we win this battle I'll be willing to share the big pie for them"

Bonna is so touched and happy she hugged her four best friends and kiss them in their cheeks. Robert cold voice echoed in the hall when he said this "We have a chance now and I have a way to ensure the victory of this battle" everyone is excited about what the old Master will do to ensure their victory. Bonna's parents are also delighted, Bonna is curious 'is my grandfather has an ace in his sleeves?' Christine hold his shoulders and whispered "are you really gonna do this dear? do you think they are more powerful than the Douglas?" she's worried because she knew that the hidden entity is a force to be reckoned with. 'since it come to this even if Douglas is powerful than them they're still powerful than us Jenners, if our family, the four families, and that hidden force I'm sure we can win. I'll place my bet to the hidden force and it's time to prove them our sincerity' Robert look at his wife and nodded. "Bonna I know it will affect you but we have no choice, you must marry someone" the crowd gasped, Bonna's parents and friends are dumbfounded, Bonna can't believe what she just heard from his grandfather. "Dad are you serious?" Amelia is not satisfied, her daughter didn't want to marry James the heir of the Douglas yet there will be a stranger who will marry her daughter. She can't accept it, when Amelia about to speak again she was stopped by her husband. "Just calm down and let dad explain everything"

"grandpa I don't want to marry yet, I want to marry a man that I love not just some stranger" everybody in hall nodded their heads, marriage is very important and Bonna is an outstanding talent in their family they won't allow any tom and dick to marry to her.

"Listen Bonna, this is just a live in husband I already checked his background and I'm sure you can trust him than those creepy and playboy young masters of other families." many of them are still doubtful of the old masters idea. "but grandpa my sister will be a laughingstock of our City if she marry to a useless husband" Trisha loves her sister and she can't accept a useless man to be her brother-in-law but no matter what they say the old Master just ignore them. He looked at Bonna " do you want to marry James? or marry a stranger and live your life comfortably for 2 years? it's up to you to decide" this time a bald man wearing a suit that cost hundred thousand dollars, this man is Johnson Jenner, the brother of Bonna's father.

"dad what do you mean by 2 years? does that mean after 2 years Bonna will be divorced and you will kick the stranger out of the family?" hearing what Johnson said Amelia's eyes lit up because there's a way to save Bonna's marriage, she thought that she will have a useless son-in-law for her lifetime.

"yes she will be married to the man that I picked and she can divorce him after 2 years." the rest of the Jenner sign in relief. Bonna stand up and bot to his grandfather "thank you so much grandpa, you helped me in my time of needs. I promise that I will help our family to be the number one in all oracle city. I accept your proposal grandpa I will marry him but of course I will marry the man I love so after 2 years I will divorce him"

Robert take his seat and the corners of his lips curve up. "its up to you, maybe you will divorce him or maybe you're not" everyone didn't notice the tone and the smirk in Robert's face but William did 'what's the meaning of that? is dad hiding something? or he's just happy that Bonna will not marry James?' however after thinking about it he just ignore it.

"that's the meeting for today, be prepared for the Douglas attacks. All of you dismiss" and he turns to Bonna's friends "I will personally see your grandfathers and have a chat with them"

"grandpa we will always stand in your side I'm sure our grandfathers will be happy that you're personally coming" they left happily, its their time to help the great Jenner family and if they win they benefit a lot and if they lose they don't have any regret. Before William and his family left the old Master called William "son, you better treat your son-in-law as your own son"

"why dad?" William look confused. "nothing I just want the people to see that we are not just wealthy and powerful but also great people too." he turns around and grin. William stood rooted into the ground as he felt uneasiness in his heart. 'there's definitely more into this, father what are you hiding?' he thought.
