Chapter 27
“What’s going on?”Isobel asked as she walked out of the hotel kitchen only to see the staff running around.
“Well it’s just that Mr Oliver father is here and the first thing he told us to do is to get rid of your wedding preparation” A staff told her before walking off.
On hearing that, Isobel went to the room where she knew Oliver might be in but he wasn’t there.
Heading to the board room he often used for meetings, she got there to hear raised voices.
On getting close she saw Oliver and his father yelling at each other and they were both Angry.
“How can you get married to her! A girl whose father lives in debt and someone whom Marco has claimed as his?” His father asked.
“She doesn’t belong to Marco. She’s my wife and I married her because I love her !”Oliver yelled in return only to recieve a sIap from his father.
“You $tupid f®ol. Do you even know what Love is?”His father asked.
“I do. I do and am glad that Isobel came into my life. She filled in the void you couldn’t fill. To me she is my life and more important than you”Oliver said infruiating his father
“Oliver!”He yelled as he raised his hand to strike Oliver again but Isobel got into the way..
“Even though he is your son. You don’t have a right to hit him”Isobel said wanting to protect her husband.
“Just the person I wanted to see” Oliver father said as he put his hand down.
“Isobel leave. I can handle my father myself and…..”
“No! I will stay here and protect you”She told him even as she took hold of his hand
“Well I like the romance going on between you two but I only want to talk to Isobel”His father said
“I won’t let you……” He stopped when two guards he recognised as Marco’s walked into the room to take hold of him.
“Lock him up somewhere and don’t open up until I give the order”He said as he held onto Isobel who tried to help.
As soon as the door closed on them, Isobel pulled away starring at the man she has come to hate for just their first meeting.
“What do you want to talk about?” Isobel asked trying to be civil.
“About my son”He said.
“You must know that whatever you tell me today won’t make a difference”She said
“I doubt that! When I told you the same thing last year. You left without saying a thing but due to your memory lost you must have forgotten all about it.
Why don’t I refresh your memory and also I have something for you” he said as he gave her the paper he had given Marco earlier.
Isobel took the paper from him and read the content.
“How did you get this?”She asked.
“From a friend of mine. The hospital you visited belongs to him and so with a little money. I got it for you, isn’t it amazing”He said
“Why are you showing me this? “she asked.
“To make you realise that you and my son don’t belong with each other.
Now that you have one reason to see that you two don’t belong to each other.
Let me now tell you the other” he said bestowing a smile on her even as he gave her the second reason.

***********************
Oliver paced around in his office, wondering what his father was telling Isobel.
He couldn’t be telling her about that? He wouldn’t know, he never made that part clear to Isobel herself.
The door opened and his father walked in without Isobel coming with him.
“Where is Isobel?” He asked
“Thinking about what I told her and if she has sense. She will leave right now!”He replied.
“Just what did you say to Isobel? You didn’t tell her about my…..”
“I did! I told her about it. How shameless of her to get involve with a younger guy”His father said.
“You had no right to tell her that!” Oliver yelled at him.
“I have every right as your father! I told you she is out of your league. She’s older than you Oliver! “his father yelled back. Revealing the secret Oliver had hidden for years most especially from Isobel.
