Friends Getting Roasted

Elena's POV:

Apart from my father being a crazy fan of Jason and his stupid request—no, scratch that, it was more like a demand for grandchildren—nothing else about this situation was sitting right with me. The way he spoke about it so casually, like I could just get pregnant to check off his wish list... I almost choked on my coffee again thinking about it. He'd be waiting for a while, that much I knew. I'd sooner throw myself in front of a bus than let him get his hands on my future grandkids... but that was beside the point.

What did make me happy, though—scratch that—what made me feel a bit of a sense of control in this swirling mess, was the fact that he mentioned I would officially become the CEO of Kingsley Enterprises within three days. That was something I could hold onto. Something I could actually build on, even if my marriage to Jason felt like a joke.
