CHAPTER 5

I was dumbfounded in the bedroom. He kissed me! My precious first kiss! He stole it from me. I'd rather he kicked me than kissed me. It's just a smack, why was I affected ?! I hate it!

I decided to take a cold bath to get him out of my system. He can smell me!

It occurred to me why daddy did this to me. I'm a loyal puppet to him. I really thought he wouldn't interfere with me in something like this. I really don't want to get married yet. I don’t even want to be a full -fledged wife. I don't want to be a mother yet. I can not do it. Hays, why am I even thinking? I'll just do everything to finish this. I will try to talk to Daddy again to convince. I don't want to meet anyone first. Maybe what else can I think of doing then.

I quickly ended my ritual with the body. I just wore a simple floral red dress.

I went down after dinner. See if they are all seated. Mommy, Daddy and a naughty person are here. I was shocked when I saw him. I tried to sit next to mommy after I kissed her on the cheek. But Daddy sneezed. So I stayed with Fabian. I kissed dad's cheek first. Before sitting down.

"You have to get used to it, sweetheart. You have to stand by your fiancé. You have to serve him too."

Tse, serve her face. The wedding can't go on. It should not continue.

"Dad, can I talk to you after dinner?" Gently say.

Dad gasped. "If it's again about you being married to Fabian, I can't convince Firah yet. You know I have a word. I already promised Fabian's Daddy and his Daddy also promised me. So stop trying and stressing about it okay?"

Tightly if touching the fork and spoon. I'm really losing my appetite. There is really only one thing to do. Talk to Fabian in depth even though I really don't want to.

I looked at Mommy, she just smiled sadly at me. I know he can't do anything. He also can't disobey Daddy. Dad is just as good as his wife. He is not neglected and always takes care of him even when Dad is still focused on business. I know he loves Mom, and me but he uses me. He always tells me ...

"You need to learn everything. You will inherit all these children. So I'm sorry if at a young age you need to get used to being brave and you have to show that you are strong. You are stronger than them."

Dinner is over. I immediately stood at the door of Fabian's room. I need to talk to him. Bahala na. I will do everything I can to stop this madness. He stopped for a moment when he saw me outside his door. But he kept approaching.

"I need to talk to you"

"Sure, come in"

"Not here." I said and immediately went to the place where Killian and I had caught up earlier.

I knew he was able to follow, I could feel his presence but as expected he was quiet. When I got there, I immediately confronted him.

"I'm not going to wander around anymore. I want to stop the wedding"

"Why? Because of that guy?" He said without emotion as he smirked.

"No, I'm not ready for a wedding. I'm still 22--"

"And that is a legal age to get married."

"I'm not ready. I haven't had the experience of having a romantic relationship. Then I'll go straight to the wedding? I don't want to. I only have a little freedom. That will be lost if I tie you up"

"It's okay, you still have freedom if you marry me. I'm not into a serious relationship really. After marriage, you can do nothing. I can give you a guarantee that you will be free. You can go wherever you want, you can do everything. I won't stop you. I entered this arrangement because I have a reason "

"And that is to be one of our businesses owner. To merge it with yours to make it bigger. I'll get it, but why am I involved?"

"You're the heir, my lady. So whether you like it or not you're part of this arrangement" with finality.

"Aren't you just forced too? It doesn't have to lead to a wedding at all" I said. The frustration is obvious to me. I really do not want.

"That's our fathers wish. They've already talked about that"

"So, they have a conversation. They won't get married." Shit! Did I really say that? I immediately saw Fabian's laughter suppress. I can see his dimples. She has dimples? I was embarrassed. Tss, I already said that. Oops! Safirah! Gaga ka.

"Hmm, well baby, sad to day they can't be married." He really smiled. I blushed with shame. I averted my eyes and cleared my throat. "Stop, planning or plotting anything. As I told you, whether you like it or not. We're gonna marry. Don't stress yourself about it."

Nothing really. I can no longer escape it. I have nothing to escape. What? Do I just have to follow? Eh I don't like him. I don't want to get married yet. Eh if I hit Killian's offer? He can't be affected by this. Maybe something else will happen to him because of his plan. Maybe we just didn't leave, he was shot by daddy's henchmen. He cannot be harmed. I also need to protect him, his special to me.

"What are you thinking? Hmm?" I looked away and was slightly surprised. The closeness of his face. Why didn't I realize? Am I thinking too much? I am well composed and perfectly mastered the art of pretension. But lately when he's involved, I'm surprised. I don't drink coffee. "Thinking about escaping again. Hmm. There's no use. By the way, let me inform you that you're going to meet my parents tomorrow."

He walked away. While I was rooted in my position. What the fat? Really? Tomorrow? Hays, nothing really. Finish and. So, I must go with the flow? I can't see myself getting married with that stranger.
