It's being a week since I found out the true personality of the man I had cherished all my life, a man I once called father, a man who can boldly give out his daughter's to be slaughtered by monsters just to save his own neck.
Here I am being set as collateral for a debt, this man has firmly refused to discuss it's details to anyone.
am merely a shell devoid of even a whisper of emotions, my tiny heart has been shattered into a million pieces as the voice I once adored kept echoing in my head
"Am sorry Hazel, please find it in you to forgive me.
Tears roll from the corner of his eyes, I could only feel an irrational sense of guilt for Daring to put my father through so much pain, but for the first time in my life I felt carefree, all I wanted was for him to leave and never show his face to me ever again.
While outside the mansion, the press was ready, and the parking lots were filled with expensive cars, guards were displaced at every corner of the mansion , obsessive thoughts scratch the inside of my skull and ate away all hope for a better future, all my dreams of becoming a successful career woman vanish into thin air.
I stare blankly at my reflection, the long wedding gown huging my tiny little curves perfectly, I don't even see how beautiful I am in this dress, but rather regrets and disappointment at how things have turned out
" We need to go. His voice came again forcefully pulling me out of my own little world of misery,
" When did you become this person, I finally spoke up still not looking in his direction.
"
Did you ever really care about us or were we just some of the things you kept to settle your debts,
My emotions were getting the best of me,
" Emily has locked herself up for an entire week and you don't even care If she's still alive or death, all you want is for this awful wedding of yours to take place, you don't even care about how I feel.
He stood still not even saying a word and it got me even angrier.
" I hate you, it's disgust me to even think of how much I once loved and cherished you, I wish you died instead of my mother. I left without looking back, my heart couldn't take anymore of his presence.
The hall became crowded with celebrities and highly respected personnel's of NYC, it was kind of funny that I had to attend my own wedding with people I know nothing about, no friends no relatives, just two families trying to serve their ambitious purposes.
this wasn't how I imagined him walking me down the isle, but fate played a hard one on me, from upstairs I could hear the guests loud voices and the silent Hymes of the piano, I pursed my lips, holding back the rage that took me each time I take a step, after what felt like an eternity, we finally made it to the grand entrance, guest were seated at both side of the hall and a well decorated passage was made in the middle, at the far end stood Carden and his family, Everything looked like a trap and my own father carefully let me to it Nest.
My movements were mechanical, automatic. And in an instant I was facing the demon.
the priest began chanting, and I completely careless of what he was saying.
" Are you ready to join your souls? To unite them forever until one of you dies
"And even in death loves mark will remain on you like a scare, we both nodded to what seemed like a curse.
" Swear to love each other till dead do you part.
" I swear, Alex's voice echoed as he search my eyes beneath the veil, he sounded so sincere in his lies, this is just a contract marriage, and once we get the money to pay back the Smith's they'll let me go. With that I felt hope.
" I swear, I said hesitantly,
" From now on you are husband and wife, and so shall it remain for ever and ever.
"you may now kiss the bride.
Fear grabbed me by the throat making it difficult to breath, my shoulders raises and fall as I stepped away, this was going to be my first kiss, and Some one I was suppose to stay far away from will be the one standing very close and those who were closed to me were no way in sight.
Not letting me take another step backward He slowly lifted my veil and pulled me closer, I bumped against his chest, lifted my head in fright and met his icy gaze, but his attention was more focused on my lips, his huge palms covered my thighs, and his fingers could shatter my bones with a single squeeze, his lips crashed on mine, I felt in it every movement of his tongue, in every touch of his hands, and every attentive glance of his gaze
