Told to Marry

I was failing at school and not going to go on to university, I'm not a great student. But I was then put into to job in one of the family's companies. A case of out of sight out of mind, left alone for several years by the family. On turning 20 I was happy just going along as what was now usual for me. But I was summoned by the family suddenly, they had found a use for me. As I wasn't married and not in a relationship, I was perfect. I've had relationships but hadn't found the perfect someone as yet. The family was eyeing off another company, but it wasn't for sale. It was owned by a family and had no outside shareholders other than the family members. The family saw the company as perfect for their future expansion plans and so they looked closely very closely at the company and its Achilles Heel. A granddaughter 19 at the time and the youngest member of the family by 20+ years. The granddaughter was reclusive and rarely seen in public and at first look wasn't seen as a solution to their problem of buying the company. But when the patriarch 84 passed away, the granddaughter emerged as the best solution and only solution. If our family could marry into their family, the granddaughter was the last in a short line of inheritance prospects. With the objective decided I was sent to meet and marry the granddaughter/daughter. Only 2 people besides her left in the family line her mother 51 and father 64. The mother had cancer and wasn't doing well, and the father had heart problems from overdrinking and smoking heavily for years. The father ran the company since the passing of his father and the no sale policy continued. After a bit of trouble, I got to meet the daughter and we had a similar interest, horses and like me she wasn't a great student. Finding out her love of horses was a boost to my flagging attempts to meet her. Especially as Andalusian horses were her favorite breed and she had mare she wanted to breed. I was set up on the adjoining property bought the family and thru the locals we heard of her wanting to breed Andalusians, but she wasn't able to afford a stallion herself and her family weren't supportive. So, acquired one and 3 other mares my family search for a stallion and so I could start a breeding stud. Of course, having Andalusians on next property didn't go unnoticed by her as they put in the paddocks closest to her family's front gate. That how I got to meet her, and I liked her straight away and forgot my family's instructions almost straight away. I wasn't in any hurry and a bit of luck came my way; the stallion got on to her property. So, offering the use of our stallion was gone as he had done the deed without us arranging it. But it got us closer, and I was able to bed her, and we were now in a relationship. My family kept telling to propose and push things along. But I wasn't in any great hurry, finally asking her to marry me on the birth of the first foal a Colt and it was born from her mare. She accepted my proposal, and we married 3 months later and after the arrival of another 3 foals from my mares all 3 Fillies. I moved into her family home, and we worked on getting our stud up and running. The extra help from my family stopped, as they were waiting for the right time to leverage the situation to their benefit. With the birth of our daughter and her mother then dying and her father shortly after they pounced. Still not able to buy but manage.
the company was the best they could get. They accepted that and now years later we have 4 children 3 boys and a girl a thriving horse stud. I'm very happy with my life and my wife. The family is quite willing to help with the stud as they see it as a success, and they love success.
