      &quot;Good morning, Jacob.&quot; Tim patted my back as he sat on the chair beside me with his tea.
      &quot;Good morning, Tim.&quot; I smiled to him and he looked down to my hand.
      &quot;What's wrong with the ring? Is it too big?&quot; He asked.
      &quot;Nope, Catherine took it off and put it on the table beside her bed. I'm just admiring it.&quot; I said as I leaned my body completely to the chair.
      &quot;If you think that she's trying to back off, she won't.&quot; Tim said and I turned to him. He's smiling at me as he picks up his cup of tea.
      &quot;You can't blame us for thinking about it, Tim. I'm sorry for being so straight forward but.. this is an arranged marriage and we both don't love each other.&quot; I said and he chuckled nodding.
      &quot;Even though the invitations are out, you both still can back out. Joe and I only want the b

      I think I have an ear problem out of the blue. Did I just hear Jacob right? He wants an heir? I was speechless after he said that and I felt like my brain froze suddenly.
      &quot;A.. a- a heir?&quot; I stuttered as I looked at him disbelief and he nodded.
      &quot;A heir.. I want an heir and after that I'll leave you alone. You can go free roam around the world seducing any man you want.&quot; He said completely in a cool tone and I looked at him disbelief. Is this really the Jacob that I know? I never thought he would have this crazy idea. I mean he didn't even tell me about the plan for the marriage and now he's.. giving me this sick idea?
      &quot;Seduce any man? Do you think I'm a slut or something? And besides.. I won't give you an heir and why should I? You can easily pay a woman to sleep with you and boom.. she'll get pregnant in no time.&quot; I

      As soon as I landed in Los Angeles, I went straight to her house. Her grandfather greeted me right away when I arrived even though it's late at night. I borrowed my other friend's jet to go to LA.
      &quot;Jacob, what brings you here?&quot; Tim asked.
      &quot;I had a meeting earlier and I thought why not go visit Catherine. I hope you don't mind.&quot; I smiled politely and he patted my back nodding.
      &quot;Of course.. I mean you're going to be a part of our family so you can come here anytime you like.&quot; He said.
      &quot;Thankyou.. is Catherine home? She doesn't answer my calls.&quot;
      &quot;Oh.. she just got home and she's so drunk.&quot; He said and I checked the time. It's almost midnight.
      &quot;How come you haven't slept, Tim?&quot;
      &quot;I'm currently watching Fast and Furious.&quot; He said as he pointed at the living roo
