It even became trending on social media. It was like a wildfire that started as a flicker then spread uncontrollably.
"Marionne, what is this?" His father forcefully placed a newspaper at the table showing him and Sophia on a sweet picture together. "What on earth are you thinking, son?"
"Dad, calm down, okay? I know what I'm doing." Marionne answered his father calmly.
"You know what you're doing. It doesn't seem to me that way. You're marrying a Rothschild. How could you say that you know what you're doing?" Crisanto asked his son, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Just trust me, Dad. Please?" Marionne begged.
"How could you do this to me?" His father walked away with a heavy heart. Marionne knew this would happen, but he has a plan. And he will go thro

They give him food once in a while and water, but it's only enough to keep him alive.In his mind, he knew that his daughter would come looking for him. He's their father, and they won't just let him rot in that cell. He believes that his daughters are already scouring the earth to find him."Gregory Rothschild. How the mighty have fallen? How are you, dear friend?" Gregory heard the voice he came to loathe."You won't break me, Lorenzo. My daughters are looking for me right now. And my soon-to-be son-in-law is one of the wealthiest men you could ever meet. Once they realized that it's you who took me, you're going to pay for it." Gregory threatened him.

Without their knowledge, her father already sold some of their properties abroad. He can't stop anymore. All he wants is to gamble. No matter how much money he wastes, he no longer cares."Ava, this has to stop. People are talking about us!" Ava sighed when the first thing she heard as she came out of her is her sister's complaint."Sophia, what do you want me to do?" Ava asked, feeling drained early in the morning."Be the big sister! Talk to dad, for god's sake." Sophia pleaded."Haven't I done that already?" She asked her sister. Ava talked to their father numerous times, but all she got was a nod."He can't go on like this. Sooner rather than later, we will be living in the streets." Sophia looked seriously stressed out about the situation."I don't know wh

"No! No way!" Sophia violently reacted to their father's announcement."Dad, please tell us this is a joke." Ava hoped their father would laugh and say that he was kidding, but he didn't."Hija, your wealth is rapidly decreasing, and if you don't do anything about it, you will lose everything," Lorenzo speaks up. "I am offering you a better future out of the kindness of my heart.""Yeah, our wealth is rapidly decreasing because of his gambling!" Sophia retaliated. "Why don't you marry them instead, dad?""Watch your mouth, kid!" Gregory warned him."Watch my mouth!" Sophia already had enough of his father. "You want to sell us to these ugly, sweaty retards so you can keep your wealthy status! What kind of a father are you?""How dare you insult my sons in front of me!" Don Lorenzo angrily stood up." Let's go, boys. We're leaving." He called his sons, who are both bowing down. "I will never forget this, Gregory."Don Lorenzo and his so

But luck won't side with Gregory no matter how much he asked for it. And Gregory's time to pay has come. But he couldn't come up with the money he owed."Mr. Rothschild, I'm sure we don't have to tell why we are here."

Gregory pleaded."The boss won't be happy in this kind of excuse, Mr. Rothschild." He warned."I know, I'm sorry. Please tell him that I will pay. Just a little more time."
