Chapter 72 What Richard Margray wants

Chapter seventy-two
Jones
"If you tell him. I will take the company from him immediately. Then I wonder how you guys are going to survive," he says suddenly and I look up at him.
He's really the owner of the company and he's very dangerous. He would definitely do what he just said.
Aside from that, it would mean so much to Dave.
Richard is the only one that Dave has. What would happen if he finds out that his father is also involved in this kind of mess?
Aside from that, what would it do to him emotionally if the news takes it and it appears in every magazine.
It will definitely hurt Dave no matter how much he hates his father.
I look up at Mr. Richard, "What do you want me to do?"
He smiles again, though, this time it seems so dangerous, "Break up with him and leave. You must never come back. The moment you do, I will disown him."
I look away now as my heartbeats increase again. It felt like I had something preventing me from breathing properly.
I don't believe I will be forced to do this.
Gosh, I love Dave so much but he's right.
There's no way I'm the right one for him. I'm so dependent on him. Even my mom is. There's nothing I can do for him if Richards takes away everything from him.
I can't bear to see him in pain. Maybe, I should really break up with him.
But what will my mom do?
Richard is suddenly so close to me now, "Don't worry about your mom. She can continue working for Dave. This is for you to decide on. If you choose to avoid Dave, you will be able to do it without your mom."
I feel the tears leave my eyes. I couldn't stop it and I didn't even want to stop it.
I feel so much pain myself.
What should I do?
I look up at him now, " I will do it on one condition."
He gathers his wrinkles and waits, " What is it?"
I suck inbreathe, " I will leave, I promise to but I will only leave when I see that he's alright.".
" And when will he be?"
" Whenever he gets discharged. The doctor said he will be discharged by next week. I will leave by then. But before then, you are not to bring up any of these."
He raises his hands and smiles, " Deal Miss Jones. You've made a nice decision."
I hissed at him, amazed by how he would want his son's downfall so much. Why must he insist on choosing his son's girlfriend? Why can't he just choose himself?
God, why does this have to happen when I thought everything is going well for me.
I walk back to the room and the tears come running down like tap water from my face.
I walk to Dave and stare at him for a while.
I don't believe I'm going to walk away from him soon.
Sometimes, we don't get what we want. And whatever will be will surely be.
Maybe I'm not meant to be his girlfriend.
If I am, then fate wouldn't have done me this way.
Fate wouldn't have made a man like Richard, a wicked man to be Dave's father.
I've been hoping all these years.
I've been waiting all these years for him. Now, that he's here, I'm forced to walk away.
Well, I hope he's happy. I hope he doesn't go back to being moody
Oh, God! Dave made me promise not to leave him, not to walk away from him.
What exactly am I to do?
If Richard does what he told me, it would mean a lot for Dave. In fact, I don't think Dave would be able to take it all in.
If I walk away, he would soon forget about me and move on with his life.
But he wouldn't be able to forget about the company and all the sweats he had put in
Where exactly would he start from?
Also, Richard promised me that my mom can continue to work and my brother will continue to go to school. That alone is sufficient for me.
My mind is made up already.
Yet, I still can't stop the tears. I feel like I'm going to fall sick soon if I don't stop.
My body is vibrating so much and I can't stop the mad beating of my heart.
It's so painful. It's really painful walking away.
I don't want to do this. What can I do?
Just what can I do to make sure I don't lose the first man I have ever loved in my life? The man I planned to have my future with?
As I've said earlier, some things aren't meant to be.
Things like Dave and I. We are definitely not meant to be.
