Chapter 72: Great cause

"Ahhh! Dani, wake up. You have a lot of work to do." She screamed internally at herself. "Focus." She continued to mumble to herself.

It was her fault. Instead of sleeping, her mind kept on replaying her conversation with her father last night. 

"How much do you know about Alex?" Her father asked her. "Did you know that he is about to ask you to marry him this weekend?" He continued with his inquisition when they were finally alone in his private room.

"How did you know about that?" She was not surprised. No secret remained a secret once her father started digging into it. He had a way of getting the information he needed. Aside from he could read people and figure out what they were planning. 

She began to wonder how long they could keep their charade from being discovered when her father was around. A weekend in their company seemed to be an impossible task.
