Chapter 2 Who's Alexandro

Alexandro sat in his car on his way back to his office thinking about his encounter with Kylie.

How could she not recognize him?

Maybe it's for the best.

He couldn't care less anyway.

He has other things to think of.

Alexandro Castillo was the CEO of the Castillo enterprises and the only son of Marcelino Castillo.

He was a ridiculously rich and strikingly gorgeous man whom any girl would be honored to bow down to, and he had the deepest greenest eyes.

"I want this report completed by the end of today"! he said as he slammed the report on the table and glared at his secretary who was almost on the verge of tears.

She was a new recruit and was still learning the ropes.

"Is that clear"? He asked as the secretary flinched at his hard voice.

"Yes, Mr Castillo".The door to his office opened as she scurried out, and his father, Marcelino Castillo, entered with the family lawyer, Edward Calderis.

His dad's expression was something that spelled worry.

"Dad"? He asked as both he and Mr Calderis took seats on the opposite side of him.

"Alexandro, Edward is here to show you your grandfather's will".

It wasn't something he was expecting so soon, as his grandfather had only passed on bout three weeks ago, and he had never brought up the will.

He leaned back in his seat and tugged at the tie on his neck nervously.

"I'm kinda busy right now, Dad, can't it wait till I get home"?he sighed while glancing at his dad, who had quite a serious expression.

"I'm afraid not, son". Marcelino said. His body cringed internally as he imagined all the twists and conditions his grandfather would definitely have in the will.

Then Edward began," Mr Alexandro, your grandfather had it in the will that in order to inherit the Castillo Enterprise and his other numerous buildings, you must settle down". He paused to gauge his reaction, then continued, "You are required to get married".

Alexandro's jaw dropped as he looked between the two of them who still maintained their serious stance.

His grandfather had always given him shit on how he should settle down and start a family but never in his wildest dreams had he imagined he'd actually put it in his fucking will!.

His mind was in shock and denial too.

Marcelino exhaled, then he said, "he isn't joking, Alex, your grandfather had it in his will that he wishes you get married to a nice girl of your choice and provide the family with an heir to continue the ancestry".

Alexandro was clearly pale and shaken, as he hadn't fully grasped the seriousness of the situation at hand.

He was still trying to process the information when Mr Edward spoke again, "If not adhered to, when your father dies, the entire will goes to William's".

"The William's? Our enemies?" The lawyer slowly nodded as Alexandro punched his fist into the table, making the lawyer shift warily in his seat.

That was the most ridiculous fucking thing he has ever heard in his life.

His dad looked tired while the lawyer looked scared. Scared of him?

The only scary thing there was tGeneral Hospital

Alexandro hoped to God that it was just a prank. His grandfather couldn't have actually done that. Could he?.

"I don't get it. Why do I have to marry? My life is perfect the way it is.

Alexandro lamented.

"Well, you must get married now. And fast"! Marcelino said.

"I need some time to think about this"

Alexandro said and raised his head to find his dad and lawyer looking at him like they were about to drop yet another bomb. The thought alone was very unsettling.

Then Mr Edward said, "You have only one year before settling down. Alexandro already had a bad migraine.

"There's a deadline," Alexandro said dejectedly, and he honestly wanted to bang his head on a wall, but all he could do was let out a humorless chuckle.

"And what else? Am I required to spawn a dozen children?"

One might call it sarcasm but Alexandro was already loosing his fucking mind.

"No such thing was mentioned," Mr Edward said as he flinched under his glare while his dad looked sick with worry.

"We'll leave you to it," Marcelino said as he got up with the lawyer and was out of the office the next moment, leaving Alexandro to his emotional and psychological turmoil.

There was no fucking way this was going to happen.

He was Alexandro Castillo for crying out loud.

He has never had any intentions of love let more of marriage

And now, he doesn't even have a choice anymore.

It's either he gets married or the stupid William's inherit everything

Damn it! Why was his grandfather so hard and unrelenting even when he was dead?

He had always been the strict kind but that...was extreme.

His grandfather sure loved to torture him even in his grave.That man had always been hard on him but he had gone too far this time. How could he easily bend him to his wishes even in the grave.

Alexandro tugged at the tie on his neck again as he was at a loss for what to do. He pondered for hours on a way out of the situation but came up with nothing.

Alexandro Castillo was a playboy and he could never fall in love. He had so many women at his disposition and many more willing to give up everything for him so he could never get married. One night stands were majorly his thing and he could never sacrifice that for one woman

Ever since his mother left,Alexandro had sworn to never love another woman

Or so he thought.
