Chapter 1

My heart is full of sadness as I looked at my in the mirror. My white dress flowing to the soul of my feet,and revealing my bare shoulder. 

I never thought this day would come, but I always wanted to be happy on this never thought I would be this sad. 

Mom used to tell me to always be with a person who loves you and not the other way round. I couldn't cry, because I was doing this for my dad,for my mom may her soul rest in peace. 

Today is the day I get married, I always wanted a church wedding with only my love ones and the man I love. I never thought I would have to be in an arrange marriage with a man who is in love with another , who has also made it clear to make my life a living hell.

But I'm doing this for my dad,the company was his pride and he worked so hard to make it bloom, as it is now known in this country. 

My dad needs this alliance to make the company known world wide or else we will lose it. 

Everything was fine before until that faithful day when my mom left us. I miss her every day and in times like this I miss her even more.  

I didn't want to marry Dante Angelis ,I knew his reputation, I knew his girlfriend and I knew they were set to be married in 6 months time. 

Imagine my surprise when my dad said I was to be married to him in a months time.

Our parents made a deal a long ago and if I don't honor the deal dad is going to lose his business.

I can't let that happen, he fought so hard to make this business a success,and my mom was his motivation and then they had me.

But faith had other plans, the day a dark cloud came upon us.

ONE faithful afternoon, mom was her way back home from the hospital since she was doctor.

I was waiting for her as usual, because she would bring me sweets, but she never came, only my dad came with tears running down his face. I nearly lost it when they said she was no more

Dad buried himself in his work to cope with the grief and I was being taken care of by my nanny Daliah ,so was a good woman in her late 20's by then. She took care of me like my mummy would,she was there to grieve with me in my hardest times.

As time went by dad came around and started  fulfilling his duties as a single parent not before apologizing to me severally.

Daliah and I grew closer each passing year and I wanted my dad to marry her after so long, but he refused because he was still in love with my mom.

Well who wouldn't, she was kindest, courageous ,most hard working woman I have ever seen. 

After persuading him for over half a decade,he decided to give happiness a shot and after one date they begun getting closer to each other.

After one year of dating,dad decided to make it official between and they  got married. A simple civil wedding.

I was almost 17 by then and was so excited, but the dark cloud came again when Daliah found out she couldn't have a baby. She had a short cervix which meant she couldn't carry a child. 

But dad didn't care, he only loved her and they were happy with me and decided to adopt in the future,that how they adopt Nicholas Anderson,my brother.

We bonded immediately and then after 2years they adopted Marco Anderson,he was Left in the orphanage at only 2weeks old and my dad immediately adopted him.

My dad and Daliah were happy and in love but not like my mom's and his. Daliah knows my dad and I will always love mom but she doesn't care,we are a happy family and no one is going to break us up.

Now my freedom is being taken away from me and no one can help me.

I always imagined my wedding in my head and plan it with my mom but after she died I decided to keep  it to myself then Daliah came along, even we've had our ups and downs, she has always been there for me and I love her for that.

My train of thought were cutt off when I hear the door to my dressing room.

I turn to see Daliah looking beautiful in her caramel color dress.

"Hey babe,are you ready?"she asks sadly and I slowly shook my head.

"I'm sorry this has to happen,i wish I could stop this but I'm going to make sure the ends immediately after we find a loophole. Always remember that I love you okay"she says before hugging.

"Come on , let's us go, everyone is waiting for you" she says.

I look at my self one more time before nodding. I grabbed my bouquet and we walked out.

I walked out to my new life of hell.
