Chronicles of Alexa's areanged marriage

Alexa was sitting in her bed with her legs half covered reading a journal about 12:08 noon, when her door suddenly opened "i just ended a meeting with Mr andrew klien he, has agreed to invest in my company" mr parker said. "oh that is great news"Alexa said. "On the condition that he marry you Mr Parker said with a straight face". "what!!?, her mood changed. "I am not some kind of property that can be traded, I have feelings and dreams of my own i won't just throw them away!" She quickly went on her knees begging her dad not to marry her off, while clasping both of her palms. Mr parker stood there, his face impassive, as he listened to her outburst passively. With the look on his eyes, he wasn't budging. "Say something dad" Alexa said as streams of tears began to roll out from her eyes. "Alexa you know how important this marriage is for our family, your mother and I have already agreed to it, and the wedding is set on a stone". He said camly. "I don't care, i won't do it, i am not going to marry someone I don't love just because it is covinient for you", she screamed on top of her voice. Mr Parker sighed heavily, "you are being self centered Alexa this isn't just about you but about our entire family and our future." You need to understand this. Alexa was beyond reasoning, she has always been a dutiful daughter but was drawing the line this time, she couldn't sacrifice her happiness for the sake of family duty. "I won't do i won't be part of this arranged marriage". "You will Mrs Anna her mother said this marriage has been set on a stone already." They both left her room as Alexa continues to cry, tears gushing down from her eyes like stream of water. The next morning, Alexa heard a knock on her door but Alexa kept a deef ears, the door was pushed open, "good morning sis someone is waiting for you" says her little sister Jane . I will be out in a bit as that is is her wedding. She sluggishly went to the shower, took her bath, and stepped out. she left her room and stepped into the bright sun moody but had to give a sad smile. "Hello miss Alexa, Andrew's driver called from afar as she walked towards him and entered the car that took them to the beach.They drove with silence as she was lost in her thoughts. On arriving there,Alexa raised her head and saw her father with a man with broad shoulders,and a striking blue eye. "This must be him" Alexa said. As she walked down to her father. The priest cleared his throat, drawing peoples attention back to the present. "Do you, Alexa take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" He asked but Alexa's mind was blank, She felt her father's hand on her arm, a silent plea to say yes she, turned over and locked at her mother that gave her a sad smile and she remembered her mother's words, "we sacrifice for the people we love". She loved her family even though she was forced to do this. With a deep breath, she turned to face Andrew klien. He looked at her expectantly with a small smile around the corner of his lips. At that moment she knew that this was going to be her new life. There is no going back. She took a deep breath and said "yes," her voice barely above a whisper. A sigh of relief swept down the crowd as her husband pulled her close for a kiss. Alexa closed her eyes trying to ignore the emptiness that still lingered in her heart. This was her new life, her new reality and she would have to find a way to make it work. She settled in the car with Andrew on their way to his mansion, the car was filled with silence as he pulls up a bottle of whisky. Andrew suddenly turned to her offering her a glass "do you drink?" He asked, his voice sharp Alexa shook her head quickly,"no i don't drink", she stammered. His expression hardened," i don't like women that drink anyway" Alexa looked at him with disgust " then why did you offer me then" she said in a tight voice. Andrew turned to his side sipping his whisky not looking at her. Alexa could only stare at his side profile, fuming uncontrollably, not that her husband cared though. "Why did you marry me if you intend to treat me like air?" Alexa asked out of no where. Andrews kept mute as though no one was there. "He is such a rude person" Alexa thought. The car soon came to a hault in front of a massive house. Andrew didn't waste time getting out of the car and walked around to open the door on her side. He extended his hand to Alexa for support but Alexa didn't move. He took her palm in his and yanked her out of the car roughly without caring that he could hurt her. "Consider this the first and last time I will ever treat you so well. The shift in his tone drew Alexa's brows together. "Welcome to my home miss Alexa Parker" the way he called her name in full made her furrowed her brows. As they walked in, she was taken aback by the beauty of his mansion."we are rich as well but not as much he is" Alexa said in her thought as she appreciated the beauty of his home, the beautiful walls but she wished she came in a different circumstance when a woman emerged from the kitchen kitchen, Alexa's attention was drawn to her. Her gaze was drawn to me, and she became even more perplexed. "Come here" Andrew called the woman. This is Alexa, Alexa this is Lucy your maid. Alexa fixed her gaze on Lucy. "you are welcome ma'am, come ler to check you in to your room" Lucy said as she walked her room. Alexa knew that she has started a new life. She walked into the room admiring it walls. The bed was well arranged with a red duvet. She breath heavily as she stood in front of the mirror. She quickly undress herself and Stepped into the shower and turned on the shower and sighed heavily of relief as the warm water cascaded over her body. She closed her eyes and allowed herself relax, her thoughts drifting to a more peaceful place. Suddenly, she heard the door of her room creak open, and her eyes shot open in alarm," who is there?" Her voice echoing off the wall of the bathroom.she quickly off the shower with her heart pounding in her chest."who is there?" But here was no response, she called out the third time with a louder voice this time, "nanny Lucy is that you?"and still, there was no response, she began to feel a sense of unease all over her. As she reached for her rob, someone suddenly stretched their hand and grabbed it.
