Hate To Love Mr.Grey

Sebastian Grey

I walked towards my granddad's study and I know it will be a bad news because nothing will come out good from that study room. I stood in front of the window and took a deep breath before opening the door entering his room.

"Pops, you called?" I asked as I closed the door. Pops was looking out the window enjoying the beautiful sunset. He gestured me to stand next to him so I walked towards him and stood beside the old man.

"How old are you again?" He asked as he turned to me.

"Turning 31 soon, why are you asking?"

"You know, I've been pretty patient waiting for you to bring me your girlfriend or maybe your future wife but.. you never introduced me to one." I let out a small chuckle.

"Do you have someone in mind? I'm actually waiting for you to introduce me to the woman of your choice." I know he has a couple of women inside his brilliant head. I'm not interested to find one myself because I know all of them are the same, they all want my money.

"Are you sure about that? I actually only have one in my mind." He said as he walked towards the sofa. I followed him and sat down facing him.

"Who?"

"We're actually going to have dinner together, she's coming in a few minutes." He said as he let out his evil smirk. I know that smirk won't have a good outcome for me.

"You can guarantee that I will like her?" I asked raising my right eyebrow.

"I think you will." He smiled at me and at the same time, there's a knock on the door. "Mr. Grey, you have guest waiting for you downstairs."

"She's here, let's go." He said as he got up from his seat. He walked out from his study first and I let out a long sigh before following him downstairs.

To be honest, I don't have any expectations about the woman that she's going to introduce to me. I don't really care who will end up being my wife because I think everything will be for publicity.

It's not that I don't believe in love, it's just I never experience it. I was too busy working and every woman that I've met, they all want what I have so I don't find it fun to deal with it in the future.

"Mr. Grey." I turned to where the voice came from and saw none other than Isabelle Orsino. Instantly I turned to my granddad because I'm convince that he's insane.

"Isabelle, it's been awhile since we've seen each other." Pops said as he gave her a brief hug. Isabelle then turned to me and she smiled.

"Sebastian." She greeted.

"Isabelle." I greeted her back even though I was still in shock. I really need to know why pops picked her and how on earth did she agree to this?

"Mr. Grey, it's time for you to eat your medicine." Henry, his butler, said.

"Right. I almost forgot about it. Give me 15 minutes, kids. You both have a short walk along the garden." Pops said and Henry led him to the living room. I turned to Isabelle and gestured her to follow me to the garden.

"I'm curious, what makes you agree to marry me?" I asked as we both walk side by side along the garden. Isabelle let out a small chuckle.

"What makes you think that I have a special reason to marry you?" That made me stop walking and turned to her. She gave me a small smile.

"You know that our families don't.. have the best relationship. You're the last person that I have in mind to be my wife." I said truthfully and she nodded.

"So you're going to back off?" She asked as she raised her right eyebrow. Before I could answer, she walks away.

"Isabelle, I think we should consider this marriage." I said and she ignored me by walking even further. I let out a long sigh and walked towards her.

"We'll end up divorcing anyway, why bother to marry each other in the first place?" I said and Isabelle stopped walking.

"We can sign a prenup if you're worried that I will take your money." She said in a cold tone and I was taken back for a second.

"Either we sign it or not, it won't work, Isabelle." I said and she turned to me.

"We can marry secretly and never tell anyone. How's that?"

"Why are you so eager? What's the point of marrying if we don't announce it to the world? You even offered to sign a prenup. What exactly do you have in mind?" I asked because this doesn't make any sense at all.

"We won't mind." I turned around to see pops standing with Billy Orsino, Isabelle's granddad.

"Pops, why are you agreeing to this? Aren't you both rivals?"

"I've always like you, Sebastian." Billy Orsino said as he walked towards me.

"Should we talk about this over dinner?" He asked and with that Isabelle walked back to the house. Billy patted my shoulder and followed Isabelle inside.

"Let's have dinner together." Pops said and I nodded. Pops when inside first and I followed him. Once we're inside, he led Billy and Isabelle to the dining room where there's already food on the table. Pops gestured me to sit beside him and Billy and Isabelle sat across me.

"Let's eat." Pops said and I ate my dinner in silent. Only pops and Billy are the ones who kept talking with each other.

After the maids clean the table, pops asked them to close the door for more privacy. Pops turned to me and he smiled.

"What do you think of your future bride?" He asked and I looked at her.

"I have no objection." I said and Isabelle looked straight at me.

"How about you Belle?" Billy asked her granddaughter.

"I have no objection as well."
