Chapter 2..... The quietness filled the room as Oliver speak, they couldn't believe what he was saying

“You are lying Oliver, there's no girl that put up with all your attitude, his mother said laughing.

“We both know love isn't on your agenda, his father added as Oliver scoffed

Oliver knows he doesn't love anyone, but then he had to make his parents stop their silly plan about him marrying Yvonne

He doesn't even want to marry anyone, he loves being single and isn't concerned about women or anyone at all

He would rather marry a dog than marry Yvonne Anderson.

It was only his parents who wanted him to get married, he didn't want that, he has no interest in marriage. He would rather keep on living a simple life.

“Who is she, his mother asked

“Is she from a rich family and a noble home, his father added

Oliver became bored with their many questions as he stood up, cutting them off

“I'll bring her home when we are both ready, he lied before storming out of the building angrily.

“Don't worry Yvonne, Oliver will marry you, you are the best for Oliver, I Know my son very well, he can be stubborn at times but trust me he loves you. His mother said.

Yvonne blushed hard

“Thank you so much, Mrs. Cowell, if it wasn't for you and your husband's help I'm afraid I wouldn't have met the love of my life”

“Don't mention it, we're just happy you are happy”

Yvonne smiled at Oliver's parents

Kate POV

I refuse to eat, I was so sad and crying my eyes out

When I woke up this morning I started my day with tears and regrets

yes regrets, I'm regretting for been born into this world

if I'd known that my coming to earth will be miserable like this then I wouldn't have come out from my mother's womb, I could have just died in her womb

I cried even though I know Oliver hated it so much, I'll be on his bad side if he caught me crying

Just then the door sprung open as two maids walked in, one is holding a tray while the other is holding a ceramic jug

“Oh sorry, we didn't realize we disturbed your slumber,” said the maid

“It's fine,” I say, trying my best to hide my cries.

“Here is your breakfast Missy,” says the maid, putting the tray down.

“Thank you, but I'm not hungry, you can take the food back, I said, leaving a confused look on their faces.

I wasn't having any appetite, I just want to be left alone and cry my eyes out

“But miss, you didn't take anything last night, please have your breakfast and eat now, it's not healthy to not eat,” says the other maid.

“I said I don't feel like eating!” I yell at her as I start sobbing once again

The maid left the room immediately as I cry out my eyes.

***

Oliver was having his breakfast when suddenly he saw the maids coming down from the stairs with the tray still with them

He wondered if Kate Finnish her breakfast so quick, or maybe she was hungry, he thought but the look on the maid's face says otherwise

They look disturbed and sad, so he decided to ask them what the problem was

“Miss Kate finished her breakfast so fast, he asked the maids.

“Well she ate nothing, she refuses to eat,” says the maid.

“All she only does is cry, the other maid added.

Oliver balled his fist angrily, on hearing the maid's complaint, he has warned Kate severely not to cry or disrespect him, but she did anyway.

“Okay then, follow me,” he said to the maids heading upstairs to her room angrily "

He entered Kate's bedroom and ordered the maids to keep the food on the side table

They did as he commanded before heading outside the bedroom and closing the door

he turned to face Kate, she was sitting on the bed with a tear-stained face and her hair messy

“You've disobeyed me once more, Oliver said coldly. She looked away from him, avoiding his gaze.

“I didn't mean to, please, she begged calmly

even though she wanted to stop crying, she couldn't because the tears kept pouring out.

“Now clean your tears and eat the breakfast, he ordered her harshly

“don't allow me to repeat myself, he warned

She slowly stood up and headed to the side table where the food was placed. She grabbed the fork and started eating as Oliver sat on the bed watching Kate as she eats.

“How long are you going to watch me eat?” Asked Kate, feeling uncomfortable.

“Until you finish eating” he replied coldly.

“Why am I here anyway, I'm not the one owing you money, I don't have your money, why pick me instead of my uncle's children? She demanded.

Oliver stared at the petite lass before answering her question.

“Because you were the perfect one among them and most beautiful, he answered truthfully as Kate scoffed.

“And now I need a wife, and you are the perfect candidate, Oliver said as Kate choked on her food

Oliver smirk seeing the girl choke, he has thought of how to escape his parent's plan to marry Yvonne

His only escape route is to bring a wife to them, he could use Kate as his escape route.

She poured some water from the ceramic jug into the glass cup, she gulped down some water before glaring at Oliver with hateful eyes.

“So, what do you say? he continued smirking

She got up from the bed and glared at him angrily, her life has just moved from bad to worst

“I'll never agree to this marriage, I'll never be your puppet, she spat out angrily.
