Day Eighty-Three…
~~*****~~
Vincent had been pacing back and forth across Nathan's office when he received a call from his underling.
He hurriedly answered the call, hoping to hear a piece of good news.
"What happened? Where's Mia? Did you manage to escape from your pursuers?"
"We secured Mia. And…" he paused for a mont.
"And what?" Vincent asked, feeling impatient.
"And we brought Phantomflake with us. She has already agreed to your terms and conditions, our King."
Vincent was taken aback for a mont. Then his eyes sparkled with joy and excitent.
"Where are you?" "In your secret villa, my King!" He replied.
Without further ado, Vincent grabbed his coat and his car keys, rushing out of the office.
"Phoenix, Let's go!" Vincent threw the car keys to his subordinate.
Feeling puzzled, Phoenix just followed his big Boss as they headed to the parking area.
"Where are we going, Sir?" Phoenix politely asked him as he started the car.
"To my secret villa," Vincent promptly responded.
Phoenix just nodded in understanding. He could sense the urgency in Vincent's voice.
His heart was beating so fast. He couldn't believe that Jane finally agreed to marry him. His husky laugh suddenly bubbled up inside the car. He couldn't contain his joy.
'It looks like I won. I defeated Nathan. I could imagine how devastated he was when Jane chose Mia and over him.'
Vincent was as happy as a clam.
Phoenix could only smile while observing Vincent's good mood.
After forty-five minutes, Vincent and Phoenix reached their destination. His secret villa was highly guarded. He had a tight security.
He hastily stepped out of the car and dashed inside the mansion. He couldn't wait to see Jane. When he entered the house, Jane greeted his sight.
She was sitting on the living him, expressionless. She raised her head and t Vincent's gaze. She didn't show any reaction. Her heart was already numb because of this shaless guy.
Vincent motioned for the guards and the maid to leave them alone. Then he slowly approached Jane.
"Where's Mia?" Vincent asked her.
Slap!
Jane gave him a hard slap the mont he reached her spot.
Vincent was caught off guard. He just stood there, frozen and shocked.
"That one is for Mia. How could you use her for your own benefit?! Are you truly her father?!" Jane questioned him. Vincent rubbed the spot where he was hit by Jane's palm.
"Of course. I'm his father. I did it because I wanted to give my daughter a complete family. You and … together with her."
Jane's stomach churned at Vincent's words but she tried to stay calm. She knew what she needed to do.
'If I continue to refuse him, this crazy jerk will do everything to cause trouble for and Nathan. This is the only way to make him stop scheming.' Jane had finally made up her decision.
"Stop making trouble for Nathan," Jane said in a serious tone.
Vincent's face turned grim at the ntion of Nathan's na. "Can you stop ntioning him in front of ?"
Jane narrowed her eyes at Vincent.
"I ca here to make a deal with you. Will you hear out?" Jane started her negotiation.
Vincent stared at her for a long mont, contemplating.
"Alright. What do you want?"
"I will marry you but in return, you have to give up your revenge against your father and Nathan. Stop causing trouble for the Sparks Family. Are you willing to do that, for and for Mia?" Jane challenged Vincent. She was also testing him if he would choose her over his revenge.
Vincent was rendered speechless for a mont. He was analyzing the weight of his decision. He gazed at her, looking straight into her eyes. He was still in doubt.
Sensing his mistrust, Jane spoke again.
"I'm serious with my offer, Vincent. I'm tired of your ga. All I want is to live peacefully with my daughter. Earlier, I realized what is the most important thing to … It's not Nathan… but it's Mia."
"I don't want to lose her again," Jane added, trying to convince Vincent.
"If I want to be stubborn, I can easily kill your n and escape from this mansion. But here I am, trying to negotiate with you for my daughter's sake."
Vincent was still silent. "If you refuse my offer, then you will face more consequences. My father will mobilize his n to destroy you. The Syphiruz Mafia and the Sawada Clan will work together to get back. Now is your chance to stop this war. Marry and forget about your revenge," she boldly offered him with a straight face.
"If I agree to this, will you stop seeing Nathan? I want you to stop communicating with him. Sever ties with him. That's my only request. Then I will do it… forgetting about my revenge and I will stop causing trouble for Nathan and his family." Vincent stated his demand.
"Okay. Once I marry you, I will stop seeing him. I will no longer communicate with him if that is what you want." Jane said confidently, reassuring Vincent. She didn't break their eye-to-eye contact when she said those words, convincing Vincent of her sincerity.
Vincent grabbed her shoulders tightly and said, "Then prove it to , Jane. Show your sincerity by actions, not by words."
Jane just nodded. "Okay. I will show you my sincerity. I will be the one to talk to my father about our marriage. I will stay here with you together with Mia. Let's do all the preparation within a week. Then we will do our church wedding after."
Vincent was at a loss for words. Jane was firm in her decision to marry him.
"If you are still in doubt, we can announce our marriage to the public. I promise I will never try to escape. I will walk down the aisle in my wedding dress and et you there at the altar." Jane's words were full of promises, erasing Vincent's doubt.
"Okay. Let's do that. I hope you are not deceiving , Jane. I swear… if you abandon , you will suffer a great consequence."
Jane took a deep sigh. "I don't care if you believe or not. I only want to be with my daughter. I'm tired of this ga."
After saying that, Jane brushed his hands off her shoulders and she turned around, heading to Mia's room.
Vincent just watched her back with complicated emotions on his face. 'Am I dreaming? Is this real? Jane wants to marry her.'
Vincent was still frozen in his spot, trying to absorb everything. After he recovered, he summoned Phoenix.
"My King, do you need ?" Phoenix asked as he approached him.
"I want you to hire the most famous wedding planner in the city. Contact the number one dia company in this country. Jane and I will make an important announcent about our wedding. I want you to assist in the preparation."
"Got it, My King. I am here to serve you."
"Oh, one more thing. Assign soone to secretly monitor Jane's movent. Report everything to . Let know if she tries contacting soone, most importantly Nathan. I want her to be put on strict surveillance, twenty-four seven!"
"Noted, My King. Leave this to ."
