Impossible Choices
Prologue
Haley had a cynical view of the world,she often wondered how people could have such a positive outlook on life.Many would wonder how girl with so much promise and great things in her future could be this down on the world.Well I'll tell you how when your mother walks out on your family before you hit the age of 10 and then your father the person who is your best friend in the world has a heartache and dies all before you hit you 16th birthday that's how.So here I am Haley James daughter of the Jimmy James deceased founder of the largest media corporation James Industries,I'm 2 days away from my 18th birthday and my life is ending.
I thought I knew everything about my father but apparently not,you see my father has put me in a position that I never thought I would be in.His lawyers have informed me that his will has stipulated that I Haley James was promised to Nathaniel Scott son and co-founder of James industries, Daniel Scott.
What was he thinking,according to his lawyer I will not inherit my trust fund or my stocks in the company unless these orders are followed.How could he do this to me,I have loved this company for as long as I can remember.The days of my childhood running the halls of this building feeling them with laughter and joy while my father's endless flock employees worked their fingers to the bone to always ensure the success of daddy's company.It's my birthright to take it over and continue my father's legacy but not at the expense of my own happiness.I always said I would never be married,true love doesn't exist.My father was a wonderful man but as a child I always sensed his unhappiness,the pain of him feeling like maybe he wasn't enough for my mother.In all honesty I think he was way more than she deserved,because a person who could abandon her husband and child was not worthy of someone like my father .I cannot and will not marry and if a snow balls chances in hell I did agree to marry it would not be to the likes of Nathan Scott.
You see if Nathan is anything like his ass of an father or his equally ass of a brother then there is no way I'm walking down that aisle.Dan Scott is the train conductor of all things evil,the man frightened me as a child an even still to this day as a young adult.He is like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz you know before Toto pulled the curtain back except he is 10 times scarier and a whole hell of a lot meaner.
The man wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face and I always wondered how my father ever went into business with a man who was so unlike him.Eveything my father was Dan Scott was not,my father was loyal to a fault while Dan would stab you in the back, front and anywhere he had to,my father was forgiving and kind while Dan had little forgiviness or sympathy for anyone who betrayed hm or were down on their luck.I remember once when I was 13 he fired this sweet woman Florence Wagner who had been his secretary for years all because she was an hour late to work, her husband fell ill and she had not had a babysitter for her 3 children.I never looked at him the same way ever since then.You would think a person like him would just be this cutthroat professionally but he was just as hard in his personal life as well.
Debra Scott was a loving loyal housewife who was the picture of perfection in everyway,she often reminded me of those women you would see in black and white movies and they were just too good to be true.Her one fatal flaw,marrying Dan,he had no respect for her and often verbally abused her and wouldn't know how to be faithful if his life depended on it.I never saw any evidence of physical abuse but either way he was slowly killing that poor woman's spirit.Amidst all the cheating and disrespect that she had to endure there were also rumblings in the community of Dan impregnating one of his many mistresses.Unfortunately for Deb the devil himself gave her the true loves of her life Lucas and Nathan,Lucas was the true definition of like father like son,he could often be seen with a different bimbo hanging onto his arm everyday and night.When he was in school he showed little respect for teachers and always acted above it all,life was his playground and boy did he play.Nathan I'll admit I don't know to much about him except he always seemed so quiet and reserved I never could get a grasp of him,but if he is anything like his father and brother there was no way would I want to spend my life with a person like him.My life felt so out of control right now and things would only get more crazy and weird soon,could I really marry Nathan and fulfill my father's wishes and continue his legacy.Only time would tell because tomorrow I Haley James will meet my future husband Nathan Scott.
Review! This story is actually complete so I'll be updating quite frequently, sometimes more then once a day.
