Chapter 30: Bitten Twice
Arissa looked at her father like he had just lost his mind. How in hell’s name did he think that a little manipulation as that is what he needs as a push to get her to do their bidding?
Initially, she was on her way to the hospital in a cab so she stopped off at her parent’s house to get her only last piece remaining there - her motorcycle.
It all sounded wired in her ears. The fact that her once-noble father is the one spouting out white lies as this for greed’s sake made her sick to her stomach.
"So Mr. Lincoln. You are saying all I need is to get this particular document from the Wyatt safe and I would be off this marriage hook?" she asked her father in a very polite and business manner as she looked into his eyes.
"That is what I mean Arissa. And not only that, Adele would get to meet her real parents," he added in an eager convincing manner as he sat up in his seat with anticipation.
Arissa’s brows lifted as one surprised, "Oh really?" she asked as one with second thoughts from her previous reluctance.
"You know what Mr. Lincoln?" She asked as she twirled her finger on the table looking down at it with calculations, "My answer remains NO," she deadpanned with her NO so bold.
Mr. Lincoln’s face paled in an instant, "Okay, you would also get a third percentage profit in the deal gain," he convinced with a little smile on his lips as he cursed inwardly.
"One question!," Arissa stated lifting a finger as she signified the figure ’one’.
"Go on," Mr. Lincoln agreed immediately giving Arissa no breathing space as hope filled his whole being.
Arissa’s nose scrunched up in disgust towards his impatient, "You are in so much haste," she noted with a taunting voice.
