LOCATION : Hayden Anderson OFFICE ( Anderson GROUP OF COMPANIES)
THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE
Inside the wide capacious office, the air conditioner blowing so cold with a quirky fragrance, the glass desk littered with so much files, a pen cup, a apple laptop which was sparkling neat and glittering as it was made of annaeled glass, two iPhone, two iPad and a office telephone.
And just in front of the glass desk were two black twirling seats. A mini bar placed at the far end of the desk and a plasma television which was hung on the wall.
There was a blue coloured cushion some meters away from the desk right beside the wall, four black throw pillows was placed on it making it look comforting for a nap, a little table.
The door and walls around office was made of glass and done in such a way that only a person from within the office could see what was going on outside the office, he could see when a person was coming to his office, but no one from the outside could see a thing, the office was convenient for the boss alone.
Hayden Anderson sat down majestically on the chair in his office reading through the file in his front on the desk, three buttons was loose on his long sleeves exposing his sexy albs, his tie hung loosely on his neck.
The door of his office was suddenly opened, he raised his head up and saw his two best friends Gerald and Lucas with a mischievous smirk plastered on their faces.
"Hey man." Lucas greeted seating in the seat opposite him together with Gerald.
"I heard Tessa is back from England." Lucas said
"And what does not have to do with me?" Hayden asked furrowing his brows.
"You are such a bad boy, i bet you are the first to know and you didn't seem it fit to inform us." Lucas said ignoring Hayden's question
"To think we are your best friends and you have to hide the fact that you both are getting married." Gerald added
"I don't get you guys, i am confused." Hayden arched his brows
"Here take a good look at this, let's see if you will deny it." Lucas handed his phone, a news article was displayed on it
Both Luca and Gerald focused their eyes on Hayden studying his expression.
"Do you think anyone is gonna snatch Tessa away from you?" Lucas jokingly asked looking at his best friend
"To think you always say you hate her so much or is there something you are not telling us." Gerald scoffed furrowing his brows
"What is the meaning of this? Who the hell made this article?" Hayden yelled with an unreadable expression not believing what he saw on the article.
"Don't tell us you don't know about the marriage between you and Tessa?" Lucas asked when he saw the dreaded look on Hayden's face
"Don't tell me that is an arranged marriage that rich parents always make out for their kids." Gerald asked with a shock expression.
"No i have no idea about this, how could my parents do this to me? How could they get me betrothed with my consent." Hayden yelled trying to control his temper
"Oh my God, this is terrible, do you think Tessa already knows and could this be the reason that she is back to this country from England?" Lucas arched his brow
" I can't believe that my father betrayed me by getting me betrothed to the least person i like without my consent, i always knew that he was greedy. How could that old man do this to me?" Hayden felt betrayed and sad at the same time
"I guess that daughter of Lucifer knows about it that is why she is back." Hayden clench and unclench his jaw
"I think my father has a lot of fucking explaining to do, thanks guys for informing me." Hayden said picking up his car keys from the desk and his jacket from his seat, storming out of the office with both his friends trailing behind him.
"Dude please calm down, should i drive you home?" Lucas offered the moment they all where at the company garage.
"Don't worry no matter how pissed i am I will be able to drive safely, i think you guys should get back to work." Hayden said entering his car, he turned the engine on and zoomed off

ANDERSON RESIDENT
Upon arriving home, Hayden headed straight to his father's home office after inquiring about his father's whereabout from one of the maid.
He barged into his father's office without knocking and that was so not like him but he didn't give a fuck about it, his father had to give a perfect explanation as to why he had gotten him betrothed to that devil Tessa Lina Cooper.
"Son why did you barged into my office without knocking and why is your face that way?" His father Mr Marcus Anderson asked taking his eyes away from the document in his front.
"Can you fucking explain this to me, dear father!" Hayden said emphazing on the dear father, showing his father the article
"Oh! This i am glad you already found out about this." His father said with a voice which was void of emotion concentrating on his laptop
"You have no right whatsoever to decide my future father, you have no right to choose a bride for me." Hayden seeth trying to keep his anger under control
"I am your father and I have every right to decide what is good for your future." His father yelled
"Tell me your reason for such rash decision, i deserve to know." Hayden asked glaring at his father
"The company is having financial issue son and we need the Cooper, I know you have your little company, but we need you to help us save the company." His mother Martha said walking into the office
"Your dad had no option but to strike a deal with the Cooper's which involved getting you and their only daughter married, your father had to do it to save the company and our legacy." His mother explained
"But mom, you both should have talked to me before you went ahead to make your plans."
"What would your reply be huh? You would have made a big deal out of it, you would have kicked against it." His father said, he was beginning to get angry
"This is my future, my life not yours or mom's future and life." Hayden yelled seething in rage.
"Are you trying to tell me that i can't decide your future now? I am your father and i have every right to decide for you. Tessa Cooper is the perfect choice for you, she is smart, beautiful, resourceful and she is the heiress of the Cooper's and Laurel's fortunes."
"Do you think betrothing me to Tessa is the best thing for me dad? Dad you never care about my feelings in the first place, you never cared of how i will feel. You just went ahead to do your fucking wish."
"All you ever care about is yourself, money and the fucking company, you have always been selfish father, you always like controlling my life."
"Watch your tongue young man." His father said landing a slap on his face, a loud gasped escape from his mother's mouth.
"How can you betrothed me to that bitch Tessa father? Beside there is no way that I am going to get married to her, I won't give you what you want." Hayden yelled loudly as he stomped out of the home office
"This isn't your decision to make dear son." His father said coming after him as they headed to the living room
"Father, how is this not my decision to make?" Hayden scoffed "
"We are talking about me getting married here, What about my feelings don't they matter? I don't feel a thing for her, even if i were to get married it was definitely not to her!" Hayden whispered yelled holding back the rage that was trying to overlap his emotions
"Son, this is the only way to save the company from going bankrupt, your father and grandfather worked so hard for the company to get to a higher status."
"Tessa is our only hope, try to understand, your marriage with her will be a revolution for the family's business, your father is at the verge of loosing everything we have, we are at the verge of bankruptcy."
"You have no brought a woman home neither have you had a girlfriend, so i don't understand why you wouldn't want to get married to the woman you always wished to marry when you were still young, you and Tessa used to be close and inseparable, you were best friends." His mother said trying to convince him
"That was long ago mom, you are pushing me to marry a woman that i don't even have any feeling whatsoever for, i don't know her anymore, she is completely a change and different person and i am never getting married to Tessa, never!" Hayden spat
"You are going to get married to her, Hayden Leo Anderson, i won't seat down and watch you destroy everything that I and my father worked hard for with our blood and sweat to build, i won't let you destroy my legacy. Never!" His father yelled
"You are getting married to Tessa Cooper and that is final." His father angrily said to his face
"I won't get married to her, never will i ever get married to that daughter of Lucifer, why don't you divorce mom and get married to her if you are so desperate to save your company." He yelled back at his father.
"You should be happy that the Cooper's are allowing their daughter to get married to their heiress, every man in your shoes will kill for this opportunities." His mom spoke
"Then go and give birth to another son so that he will get married to her."
He picked his car keys which he carelessly threw on the table and stormed out of the house
"Hayden... Come back here... Hayden... You brat get back here this instance." His father called out his name which he ignored.
He went straight to his car, entered inside, turned on the engine and drove with speed out of the compound.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you."

Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
