Seducing My Heartless Husband

The family of four spend time together bonding.

Mr Santos expressed his intentions of marrying Tricia.

Ofcourse that earned him a good twenty minute teasing from Marina.

His daughter was audacious to tell him that she didn’t need another sister or brother.

The nerve of that child!

But regardless, he was happy. Seeing the three most important people in his life happy, made him happy.

” So when are you going to Introduce me to your future husband?” Tricia Inquired, directing the question to Marina.

” What husband! I am still looking for a good handsome and rich guy to Marry.” Marina retorted.

Any topic was good as long as it didn’t involve Lucas but it seemed like everybody was hell-bent on poking their noses on her love life.

” Repeat what you just said young lady?*” Mr Santos voice was threatening.

He sounded angry and Marina could tell why. Afterall, Lucas was the ideal son-in-law and a grandson of her father’s close friend.

She could still remember how pleased the man was when he learnt about the identity of her boyfriend.

If only be knew that was nothing but a facade they put infront of her.

Marina was sure that her father wouldn’t hesitate to set her pants on fire for lying to him.

” I am just joking.” She couldn’t afford to anger her father so she could only result to saying that it was a joke.

Martina who was sitting besides Marina couldn’t help not snicker.

” What about you Martina? When are you bringing your boyfriend home. Dad is excited to see him.” Mr Santos asked making Martina to almost choke on the juice she was drinking.

” I don’t have a boyfriend.” Martina replied straightforwardly after composing herself.

She was sure she wasn’t going to like the direction of this conversation but nevertheless, she answered honestly.

” How’s that possible? Do you like girls?” Mr Santos blurted out .

Marina burst out laughing upon hearing her father’s words. Why was her father invested in thinking that his girls were probably lesbians?

Just because they weren’t in any relationship, did that have to mean that they liked girls?

What an embarrassing question to ask!

Tricia could only facepalm at such ridiculous question.

Her daughter was just least concerned about relationship but one thing was sure, she was straight.

” I don’t like girls.” Martina replied.

She never imagined that one day she will have to sit with her family discussing about her sexual preferences. It was weird.

” Then why don’t you have a boyfriend. You are beautiful, educated and straight! I find it hard to believe that you can’t find a boyfriend ” The man added, making Martina feel even more awkward.

” What’s with those kind of questions Santos? Give her a break.” Not being able to hold herself back anymore, Tricia softly reprimanded.

Knowing Martina, she knew that her daughter must be feeling uncomfortable with all the questioning, not to mention that all the questions were ridiculous.

” I just want to know and see how I can help her.” Me Santos defended himself.

Turning to Martina, he added, ” My dear are you finding it hard to get yourself a Man? Don’t worry, dad will get you a boyfriend. I have afew friends with sons who are educated and good-looking. I will definitely help you set you up with one of them.” Mr Santos generously offered.

” Santos!” Patricia’s voice was stern, Indicating she was annoyed.

” Leave the girl alone. It’s her decision whether she wants to have a boyfriend or not. I won’t allow you to matchmake my daughter with those so called friend’s sons.”

When she remembers how that matchmaking ruined her life, she can’t help but get angry.

After what happened to her, she swore to herself that she will never do the same to her children. She will give them the authority to chose whoever they wanted to spend their lives with.

She was not going to sit by and watch as her daughter is compelled to those stupid matchmaking sections.

Mr Santos was taken aback by Tricia’s outburst. He didn’t expect her to be so affected by his proposal. It’s not like he was selling off his daughter. He just wanted to introduce some good guys to her. She would still be the person to have the final say about that.

Then he figured out she thought he would do what his parents did to him and her. Forcing them apart because they didn’t deserve each other.

He could understand her fears.

” Alright, I won’t say anything.” He surrendered.

Although both had different thoughts, he decided to be the one to take a step back.

The last thing he wanted was an angry Tricia and an enstrangled relationship with his daughter.

In the middle of the night, Marina’s phone vibrated, Indicating that she had an incoming call.

She switched the phone to silent mode before stealthily walking to the balcony to receive the call.

” Hello Queen, there’s a new mission in California. A protection mission. Ensure that the client gets back to the plane safely.” John, co-founder of scorpion reported.

” Copy that.” Marina replied.

Two ding sounds indicated that a full report about the client has been send.

” When do I leave?” She asked.

” Right away. The client is already in a plane from Japan as we talk.” The other sound replied.

” Okay.” Marina Said before disconnecting the call and putting another call across.

” Brian we have a new mission.” She reported.

” Okay, I’ll send you the details and you were right. I do have a twin sister.” She added.

” I don’t have time for gossip now. I am sending you the files, get ready. We leave in one hour.”

After she finished talking, Marina walked back to the room unaware that Martina had listened to all her conversations.

” I’ll be back before you know it sister.” Marina mumbled before picking her car keys and leaving the room.

She had to leave to her house to collect some of the necessities she needed like her fake passports.

Martina waited until Marina left before getting dressed up quickly and making her way downstairs to hail a cab to the airport.

Since she would be traveling to California, Martina figured out she would be going by plane

She was hell-bent on finding out what kind of life her sister lived behind the scenes. As the older sister, she felt that it was her responsibility to look after her junior sister.

One thing was for Sure, Martina wasn’t going to allow her twin sister to be involved in something dangerous. Not with her watching.
