RHEA'S POVThe one dream I had was to have my books read by people all over the world with my identity hidden behind the pages of each book. I spent each day of my life thinking about the future of my characters but I never for once thought about my future. I was too comfortable hiding within the four walls of my dad's mansion that I didn't imagine something would threaten to take me out of my comfort zone. I never for once thought about dating someone talkless of getting married. Even if I was to get married, I didn't want it to be arranged but the question was how would I ever get married when I couldn't leave the house to meet anyone?Estefan was the only opposite gender of my age group that I've met who was not part of my family relative and all of a sudden, he wants to get married to me. The one question that had been bugging me was why? His relationship with Leah was going well, so why did choose me over her?I told my dad to reject the marriage offer but I had a feeling it mig

RHEA'S POVThe chilly breeze blew my hair as I stepped out of the plane. The unfamiliar smell of the new environment hit my smell buds as I forced my legs to move toward the black limousine waiting at the bottom of the stairs. My parent entered the car while I looked back at the plane, wishing I could run back in and fly back to London but I knew that wish wouldn't come true."Rhea, get in," mom called impatiently. Turning back to the car, I took a deep breath before stepping into the car. I leaned into my seat and closed my eyes, praying that I wouldn't regret the decision I made. "Rhea, I know you hate the idea of this marriage but I believe it's a blessing in disguise," mom started."Of course, it's a blessing in disguise for you guys," I said with my eyes still closed."I meant for you. This might help you get rid of your fear of crowds," she continued."Who said I needed help?" I opened my eyes as I sat up. "I was fine the way I was.""Dear, you can't hide forever, you will eve

RHEA'S POVWaking up to voices whispering close to me, I looked up to see myself laying under an unfamiliar ceiling. I sat up and scanned the room to find Esmeralda and the blue-eyed girl from earlier staring at me with smiles on their faces. "Rhea, I'm so glad you are okay," Esmeralda said as they moved closer to the seat on each side of the bed.My brain was still trying to register where I was as my eyes scanned the room. My eyes caught a large portrait of Esmeralda on the left side of the room and dozens of Tiara on a wooden shelf beside it. The King sized bed was covered in gold and white sheet with a large piece of golden-coloured cloth forming a triangle with the bed. "Is this your room?" I turned to her. "Yes. You passed out earlier when you got crowded by too many people, remember?" she asked."Yeah." I haven't spent a full day there and it was already a fucking disaster. That was enough reason for me to conclude that accepting this marriage was a bad idea. "How are you

RHEA'S POVThe audacity of that Ice bag to accuse me like that. He didn't even bother to ask what happened when he was the main source of all the problems I had at the moment. I wonder why he couldn't act like his brother. With the few seconds I spent with Esteban, I could tell he was warm-hearted and nice just like Esmeralda. Estefan and I hadn't gotten married yet and he was already getting on my nerves. How was I supposed to spend the rest of my life with someone like that? No, I couldn't sit still and let the wedding push through. I had to do something to stop it.Walking back into Esmeralda's room in anger, I met her looking around the room and calling my name. "I'm right here," I answered."Where did you run off to? Did you know how worried I was when I came back and didn't meet you?" She came to stand in front of me."I'm sorry." I walked past her with my blood still boiling with rage."Are you okay?" She questioned. "You look like you want to rip someone's head off his body.

RHEA'S POVA soft rap on the door made me stir in my sleep. The knocking got louder and I covered my head with my pillow. "Go away," I mumbled.Last night, I pulled an all-nighter to write four long chapters of my book because I was running out of time. I wanted to finish it early so I could have more time for editing. The editing was the annoying part for me because I always found it hard to spot my errors. If only I had someone who had a lot of knowledge about creative writing nearby. The creaking sound of the door reached my ears and a groan escaped my lips when the pillow was taken away from my head."Rhea, get up. You need to be at the main hall in thirty minutes," Esmeralda said as she yanked the quilt away from my body."Why?" I hit my legs on the bed as I rolled from side to side."You need to be present for the preparations of your wedding that is happening in a week." "That's still happening?" I glanced up at her. "You know I was having this amazing dream that I left your
