A Girl Nobody Wanted

Jake's POV

“Jacob, What the hell are you going to do?” dad asked, coming towards me. His voice was firm, and that tone made me sto the stupid thing I was doing.

I need to go there. I need to meet my Princess, but how am I going to explain that to dad? They had to go through a lot because of this accident. So how can I ask them to let me go that far even before I fully recovered? However, I have to do this, I have to let them know about Sarah and me first, then ask them to let me go. I can't lose my princess... I don't have life without her been part of it.

“Dad, Tomorrow is my birthday. Can I get my birthday wish earlier?" I asked, putting the trump card.

Dad's face changed a bit... He seemed confused, but he nodded in agreement.

Just then, mom also entered the room. That's good. If dad tried to oppose, mom would be able to change his decision. “Jake said he needs his birthday wish earlier” dad said, looking at mom.

Mom smiled, looking at me.

“Really. That's strange. Usually, you refuse any gifts” mom said.

“Yes, mom, but this time I need this. Honestly, this is the only thing I want from you two. I said.

Mom and dad looked at each other confusedly.

“I love a girl..” I said the thing I was so afraid to tell in front of them for all this time. But at that moment, I was a thousan percent confident and fearless...

Mom and dad again looked at each other... Mom's face became bright while dad's face got darken. Just like I thought. But am not going to stop now.

“She is just a normal girl from a common family. She is not a beauty queen, but for me, she is the most beautiful girl in tt whole world. She is smart and has a good heart.”

“Don't go around the bush, Jake. Just tell us what do you need. Do you need our approval for this girl? We can't give approval to a girl just like this, ask her to come and meet us. We can promise you that we won't even think about her fam background or social status.” dad said. As always, he is direct and honest. He hates when people don't speak to the point He wants everyone to tell the truth and be as direct as him.

Anyway, his character saved me from a really awkward explanation.

“Yes, Dad, I need your approval. But that is not my birthday wish. I have a small problem, and I need your support to solv that, that is my wish. After that, you can meet her and see if she can be a part of my life. I have no doubts that you both would love her I said.

“50, what is the problem you have now?” dad asked.

“sarah... Well... That's her name... Sarah thinks it is Andrew, who is behind my accident.”

“What, Andrew? You mean our Andrew?” mom asked shockingly.

“Yes, mom..."

“Why she thinks like that?” dad asked.

“It is really complicated, dad... Andrew is also in love with her I said.

“So she thinks since Andrew is in love with her, he tried to kill you? That is ridiculous. Andrew is just an i***t, but he can't harm even a mosquito.” dad said firmly.

You know nothing about him, dad... He is so evil than you think.

“I also don't think Andrew will ever try to hurt you...” mom agreed with dad.

They both think it is Andrew's dad who is cruel. According to them, Andrew is just a pawn in his game.

“Actually, Andrew had threatened her that he will hurt me if she doesn't agree to marry him," I said.

“What! ” mom exclaimed.

“I said he is an i***t. He was just trying to make her afraid” dad said quickly.

“Dad actually so many things happened during the past few months that make us believe he is capable of even killing me That's why she thinks it is him who is responsible for the accident.” 1 said.

“What are those things you referred, Jake? Why don't I know about any of them?” dad asked.

“Dad... Please... I beg you... I will tell you everything later. I don't have much time now...” I said anxiously.

“Okay, what you need us to do now?”

“When I was in the coma, Andrew has convinced her to marry him, threatening her with my life. *

“50 she agreed to marry him?” mom asked. She looked sad...

“Yes, mom, she has agreed to that to protect me, and she is now even refusing to talk to me. She pretends like she took t! decision because she thinks I cheat on her"

“What? Did you cheat on her?” mom asked angrily.

“No, mom... 1 didn’t... That is a long story too... I will tell you later. However, I know she talks about this cheating thing jus to avoid me. I need to talk to her and let her know that I know the true reason behind her behavior and stop her from doing this stupid thing. I have to hurry up because she is getting engaged to Andrew today evening." I said. I know I put m poor parents in utter confusion. This is not the way I wanted to talk to them about Sarah... But now, I don't have any othe options. I have to hurry up...

“Today evening!” mom again exclaimed.

“So hurry up, take a call and explain her, she added nervously.

just as I thought she is being supportive and understanding me... However, at the moment, I couldn't understand what dz felt regarding this whole thing. His face looked blank... Anyway, it is a good sign that he is still listening to me without scolding.

“I tried to call her a lot, but she doesn't answer. I need to meet her personally and explain everything.”

“How can you do it? Where is the engagement?” mom asked.

“Hotel Aurora,” 1 said slowly.

“What? That is far away. You are not stable enough to travel that far” mom said.

“I know, mom, but I can't let her get engaged to Andrew. I must stop her” I said.

“She is not getting married today, Jake... Who cares about engagements? Didn't you get engaged to Marina then?” mom asked.

“I know, mom... I can understand what you said. But you don't know Andrew's real face. I am so damn afraid about my princess...” as soon as the word princess released from me, I felt really embarrassed.

Mom chuckled...

“Princess.” she said again.

“You really love her so much, don't you, Jakie? I can't wait to see her... But how can you travel that far, darling?” mom aske worriedly.

Then she looked at dad, who was silent for a long time.

“Jake, what mom said is true. We can't let you go that far right now. But I want to fulfill your birthday wish as well... dad said thoughtfully.

“If I meet her and promise her that I will look into who is behind your accident and if it is Andrew, I will take care of him, would it change the way she thinks? ” dad asked.

“Of course, dad... If you tell something like that personally and guarantee her that Andrew can do no harm to me, she would surely listen." I said immediately. There is no doubt Sarah would accept it. She respects and trusts my dad so muct “Then Jake, you don't have to remove all your wires and go out. Just stay here, take medicine and rest... I will go and talk t her.” dad said.

“What?” this time, not just me, but Luke also said shockingly.

“Are you going all the way there to meet her?” I asked.

“Of course... I can do that for my only son... he said.

“Dadi” I couldn't stop tears filling in my eyes. Dad has always shown me his tough side. Usually, it is super hard to get hi approval for anything. So when he said he will go all the way there and talk to Sarah, it made me so surprised and at the same time so touched...

He is not just my dad, he is the president of the country. A man with great responsibilities... Yet he volunteers to do this much for me...

“I love you, dad... Love you so much...” I said. I couldn't even remember when is the last time I told him that I love him. 1 think the last time was when I was in kindergarten...

Sarah's POV

“Mr. McMiller. 1 said, standing up.

“sarah.” he again said, looking at my head to toes...

“You are not average looking, I think it is the messy way you dress...” he said. He can turn even a compliment to somethi hurtful.

“I don't think you came here to talk about my look..." I said annoyingly.

“Yes, I came here for something else... But when I see you, I honestly understood my son's decision,” he said, smiling.

I pouted and looked away.

“Actually, Sarah, Jake wanted to come and meet you."

When he said, I felt my heart stopped for a moment.

“He told his mom and me about you. He said you think Andrew is responsible for his accident, and therefore to save him, you agreed to marry Andrew. He also said, you just pretend like you think he cheated on you, just to avoid him."

My baby... How can I ever lie to you, Jake... You can understand me very well. I knew it won't be easy with you, but I have t try... I want to protect you, my love...

“I think you know that tomorrow is his birthday...”

Of course, I know... How can I forget that?

“His birthday wish was to let him come here and talk to you. See, my son is willing to put his life in danger for you, but yo just ignore the warning you received and let him get hurt”

I am doing all these to protect him, Mr. McMiller. Since his dad is not taking any actions to save him.

“He is not stable enough to travel this far... So I volunteered to come and talk to you. I said to him that I will promise you find out who is responsible for his accident and if it is Andrew, I would take care of him... told him as his dad, 1 will guarantee you that I will protect him from Andrew... *

Wow! So clever, Mr. McMiller... You should get the best dad award and also the best actor award...

“50, you came all the way here, just to make Jake believe you?” I asked.

“Yes, he is my only son. The heir to all my wealth. I need him to trust me" he said without any shame.

“I thought you are a good person, Mr. McMiller... But you lie to your own son.

He laughed...

“Good people can never become politicians, Sarah...

Disgusting! I wonder how Jake got his noble qualities when his dad is a true monster.

“Ah! He said he wants to talk with you..." he said, taking his phone out.

“Remember everything we agreed to... You and your family can live happily without any trouble, and Jake will also be safe until you keep onto that agreement,” he said before dialing.

Well... I hate Andrew, but right now, I hate Jake's dad even more...

“Jake...” he siad, looking at me.

“She is not ready to listen, son... I will put her on loudspeaker.”

“Princess... Listen, I know why you are doing this. See, dad is ready to take care of Andrew. You don't have to worry about anything... Please... I beg you... Don't get engaged to that bastard... You are mine... I can't live without you...” Jake kept on saying...

“Jake... I don't care if Andrew tried to hurt you or not... If he did it, that means he is ready to do anything for me. But you.. You cheated on me when I was loving you with all my heart and soul...”

“You don't believe that s**t about me cheating on you... I know that Sarah...” he said confidently.

Of course, my baby... I don't believe that bullshit. They think our relationship is that week for me to believe something so lame...

“Then you know nothing about me, Jake...” I said. God! Please help me... It is so hard for me to lie to him...

I think for the first time God listened to me... Andrew entered the room. He didn’t look surprised at all by the presence of Mr. McMiller. That means they have planned this as well

“Uncle, what are you doing here?” Andrew asked, faking a surprised voice.

Godil Fuc* the award-winning actors, these are the real actors...

“Andrew!!!” Jake screamed as he heard Andrew's voice...

“Oh! Jakie... Glad to hear your voice, brother” Andrew replied.

“stop your bullshit You can't steal my Sarah from me...” Jake yelled again.

“ am not stealing her brother... If you want her, why did you sleep with another woman? Oht forgive me, uncle... I forgot y are here..."

Andrew! You are a fucting monster! A special hell must be created for you...

“I didn't sleep with anyone else... I have never cheated on you, Sarah... I love you so much... Please, I beg you... Don't do this... ” Jake started to pleading...

Tears started running down from my eyes... If I kept on talking with Jake, 1 will not be able to hold it anymore...

“Jake, I am getting late for my engagement... Stop chasing me. I have nothing to do with a cheater like you. ” I said, trying my best to keep my voice stable.

Andrew smiled at me and put a kiss on my head... My whole body shivered with anger...

“You smell 50 good, angel... Can't wait to make you mine, let's go...” he said, taking my hand.

“Jakie, sorry for not inviting you all to the engagement. I will invite you all to our wedding, for sure... Anyway, uncle, I don’ know why you came here, but since you are already here, please join us...” he then said, winking at Jake's dad...

Without even looking at Jake's evil dad, I left the room...

“I am 50 sorry, son... I tried my best..” I heard Jake's dad said.

How can a father do such cheating to his only son?
