Jake knew he had to go see his father to let him know he would go through with this arranged marriage, only on his terms. Jake Simmons was a handsome young man of 27 years old and with his dark hair, tanned skin, blue eyes and succulent body build like a Greek god, he was not easily fooled nor taken as a easy man. He was a very wealthy billionaire , arrogant at times and over confident .All this, but when it came to his parents, he was very protective and he and his sister Nicky were brought up with ambition and loyalty, meaning he would do anything for his family and meaning he needed to do that , then he would. The Simmons family lived in a beautiful family home by the lake outside of the busy town, not like Jake, who lived in a mansion in the city. Jakes mother also loved to garden ,but she was actually a surgeon while his father a big businessman, and now it seemed like his parents wanted to retire to travel the world like they always wanted to do , and even though they tried they never really got to it besides business travels they wanted to go to places and really explore more where Nicky his sister was a supermodel in Malan and also best friends with his ex also a model she does photoshoots with. Jake did not need a driver tonight, so he decided to take his own sports car to drive out to see them and tell his father his decision. Jake knew his mother.. will most likely be reading and his father ,will be enjoying a whisky , something they always did ,so he parked the car and greeted the staff walking in smelling his mothers perfume which he loved as a kid always knowing she was around. " I thought I heard you Jake , come in ,me and your father were just having a drink, want one too?" ,his mother says as the two walk to the living room , there his dad sits on his chair busy with a whisky just like he predicted. "Father", Jake says, and his dad nods to him ,but his mom is all over him happy it seems to see her son. "So did you come to reject my offer again Jake ?" ,his dad asks while sipping the golden liquid with ice. "No not to reject …but to accept , but on my terms father, I want to have say over everything, you can still have a input but then it is mine and I will have the final say, if you agree then we can set up this meeting with them and start the process , oh and one more thing her brother ,will he have a say in the business?". Jake's father stands walking to his son, extending his hand putting it on his shoulder like he has done many times in the past. "You have my word son, and do not worry ,their son Tim doesn't want anything to do with the business, although he will be at some meetings as he is a shareholder too ,but other then that you will have 70% say son over it all', his dad say ."Good then I will do it", Jake say and he and his father seals the deal over a handshake ,but his sister walks in , typical, she is almost a millionaire herself only from modeling, but she still stays at home . "I see you are still not in your own apartment sis?" ,Jake say and Nicky walks over kissing him on the cheek. "And I see you are still boring brother". she says sitting next to their mother. "No Nicky some of us need to face the music we can't simply just let it play out". "Good then face it, but please just relax a bit too". she says and all four of them laugh. Jake was pleased at the outcome and so he decided to stay a bit longer, having a fun chat with his family ,but then Nicky just had to bring it up. "So seeing you now getting married, when will this wedding be then?". Jakes' mother then smiles . "We were thinking maybe in the summer". Jake frowns. "Wow, so that means it's in one month, or not even?". "Oh, calm down son, it's not like you are marrying an old hag, their daughter is very pretty and well she is a teacher you know?, so she will not be bothered by the business at all so I think you and her might just get along for this to work and besides it worked for us in the past", his father says. "Wait what?, Nicky says shocked as was Jake at what he said. "Wait were you also a part of a arranged marriage?". Jake's mother looks at their dad and she smiles, walking to her husband. " Yes, we were and we are still happy to this day and in love still. It will work itself out, Jake you will see", his mom said, making him and his sister frown at the news. " OK great, but I'm not you mom, I am me, I guess we will see, won't we?", Jake said, and after yet another drink, he greets them goodnight also heading home only to fined His old flame Wanda (Nicky's model friend) waiting for him in his living room being led in by his butler. " I heard a little birdie say you are getting married soon Jake, and well. Then I thought why not come look for myself? Maybe we can chat for old times, sake?". "Yes maybe, but next time. But ask me before you come into my home if I am not here Wanda". "Oh no are you mad at little old me?", I thought I could ease your tension a bit", she says, getting up. She so slowly it's like she storks her pray ,but that is when he takes her in his arms and soon old habits return as the two lovers head upstairs for a night short and easily forgotten .At least Wanda won't stay and even though she is a sexy woman any man would love in his bed too , he thought of the sassy gorgeous teacher that will soon be his wife...Yes she slapped him when he kissed her ,but it was worth it that night, now lies the future to face the music.
