F-Father inlaw?

Thomas cleared his throat, and forced a smile. " Well, since you're here we can discuss business, you know. The growth of our company is both in our hands. " He chuckled.

Fredrick let out a soft sigh... Of course. " We came here to vet our daughter in-law before handing her over to my son. We need to make sure she's... " He paused for a moment to study her facial expressions. " Pure." He completed.

Actually, Damian refused to follow them to meet his ' new wife.' According to him, they were the ones that wanted to marry her, not him. After all, nobody informed him of any marriage beforehand. Not that even if they told him he'd agree anyway.

Daughter in-law? Regina was confused. What does he mean by Daughter in-law? She hid her surprise very well during this course, because she didn't want to embarrass herself.

Fredrick saw the look of amusement in her eyes and smiled. He knew his son was in safe hands... He would make sure to get her insured. She mustn't die under his watch... Or even after his death.

" Daughter in-law?" She finally blurted when she couldn't hold it in any longer. " Are you saying you're my... Father in-law?" She chuckled nervously, but could sense that the room became more cold and tense. What's up with these people?

" Oh, right. Forgive me for not properly introducing myself. I'm Fredrick Harrison, the father of your soon to be husband, Damian Harrison. These are my close relatives, you'll get to know them better as time goes on. " He smiled warmly. " You look really stunning by the way. I'm sure my son would've loved to meet you. Unfortunately he couldn't attend due to some urgency. "

" Oh... " She replied with a little hint of disappointment etched in her tone. She watched his cheerful way of interacting and the slight difference between his voice. This can't be the father of my unborn child... Does this mean I've met Damian Harrison even before we got married?

Although she made this type of deduction earlier, it was totally different now knowing the kind of person she was dealing with. " Do you two by any chance have a strong resemblance? I would have loved to meet him too, I haven't even seen my future husband's face yet. " She lied with a slightly shaky voice.

She couldn't afford to give anything away. Everyone was on their toes and on the lookout for her errors. Everyone's sense is heightened, including his.

" Indeed, we do. But I suppose you've heard of his character which is quite opposite to mine, really. I hope you didn't mistake him for me, young lady. " He chuckled heartily.

This man... ' I have to be careful with him. '

" It's just... It's ... You look so young and... Urm." She stammered. She needed to keep her naive act up. He wasn't foolish. Also she realized his words caused some people to snicker in the room.

" Aeh, I don't disagree. It's my fault for not introducing myself earlier. Forgive me. " He dropped the glass of whine he was holding with a slightly raised brow. He hadn't even taken a sip. He had trust issues?

" Mr Frederick, since the wedding is going to be taking place in just five days, let's start our business plans already. I'm sure with the aid of... " Thomas interrupted, but was cut off by an annoyed-looking Frederick.

" I have told you the reason behind this visit, Thomas. Don't make me rethink my offer. " His tone sounded a lot different. This time it was much more intimidating as he sounded displeased. " As you can see, I'm still busy with my soon to be daughter in-law, you're interrupting. "

Thomas chuckled. " I'm sorry, sir. " Sweat beaded on his forehead as he spoke.

Damian Harrison is the father of my unborn child? How ironic. Regina was already lost in her own world of thoughts. Wow! To think that was the person she didn't want to get married to.

This is supposed to be good news, right? At least she has a caring father in-law, right?What if this was all just a facade?

" We will be taking our leave now. Monitor our daughter in-law's diet anyway. It seems like she's a little pale and weak. " As someone who is suffering from illnesse as well he could tell. " She needs all the energy she can get. "

Is he actually this nice? Regina thought he was too good to be true... He was sharp, observant and Caring? There were different swirls of emotions on his face and she couldn't pinpoint. At least she's saved by him now.

" Missy, do not let us down. " He took a glance over at Regina, and got up from his sitting position. " I'll make sure you're safe in our family, so don't worry. You shouldn't do what'd implicate you not to get married to my son, it'd be such a shame not to have you in our lives. "

Regina smiled sweetly in response, but she was frowning on the inside. He could read her? Or was it just a speculation. Either ways it was a good thing he's leaving or else God knows. She also got up from her sitting position and lowered her head a little. " I won't. "

" Come on now, dear, let me take you to your room." Her mother came closer toward them and took her hand in hers. The fudge?

These people are sick! They're all players. Well, at least on the bright side, father in-law saved her from starvation. Her body still felt weak, but she was pushing it.

She spotted a middle aged woman casting her a down looking. It was Callista Reginald, the first child of Douglas Harrison and Fredrick's older sister. They all looked so classy and barely aged. She'd seen her on the news a lot of times so she could tell. " I bet she's just like her parents, low lives and greedy golddiggers. So disgusting and ugly." She raised her brows and scoffed. Although most people couldn't hear her, those who were closer to her could.
