I don't know why Dad did what he did. I mean how would he dare plan my marriage behind my back??!
Even knowing fully well that I have a girlfriend; yes, I have a girlfriend, Melissa.
I've been in relationship with Melissa for over 5 years and now he's saying I should throw all that away all because of what??
That foolish girl???
Does he even think I'll touch that girl not to talk of marrying her??
Hell no!
There's nothing like marriage between us!
I'd rather die than marry that dunderhead!
Over my dead body!

Why is Dad doing like this??
How can he just come all of a sudden and tell me to marry my enemy??
Mike is too arrogant and proud for my liking, which means I hate him with passion and Dad knows about it too.
So why then would he want me to marry him??
And he claims he wants the best for me???
If that was true, then why doesn't he understands that when I say no, then it's no!??
Oh God!
Seriously I can't watch myself marrying that dumb a**.
"Will you just calm down Nora?? Pacing around won't solve the problem" Daleyza said
"And neither would sitting with you guys help" I said
"Look Nora, I don't know why you despise Mike so much, I mean... that guy is f*****g handsome and to crown it all, he's stinkingly rich, so why are you like this??" Olivia said and I stopped pacing as I faced her.
"I second Olivia, Mike is cool, handsome and rich, if I were you, i won't let this opportunity slip off my finger, I'll marry him immediately" Aaliyah added.
"Don't you guys get it??! Mike maybe cool and handsome, yes I agree but believe me he's rude and arrogant, he thought he owns the entire world, and about you saying he's stinkingly rich, the last time I checked, I'm the only daughter of Derrick Bernard which means I'm also stinkingly rich, so don't tell me nonsense" I said angrily.
"Okay okay fine, we agree you're both rich and good looking but still you should be happy to be betrothed to him" Aaliyah said
"Why not go and marry him instead?" I asked angrily
"I would. If I have the opportunity" Aaliyah and Olivia said at the same time.
"Don't mind them Nora, I agree that he's rude and arrogant but won't you just listen to your dad?? He's your father at all" Daleyza said
"I can never ever marry that son of a b*tch!" I shouted and slumped on the bed.
"Just cool down, everything will be okay" Daleyza said, patting my back.
She's the only good and passionate friend I have, compared to these fools.
"How can I calm down when the marriage is in three months time??" I said sadly.
"But three months is still far, something miraculous might happen... Like your father or his father changed their heart" Daleyza said and Aaliyah with Olivia just kept staring.
"Really??" I asked, sucking.
"Yes, believe me" she said and I hugged her tight.
"I hope so." I muttered and hugged her more tight.

I was at the bar, chilling with my friends when one of them brought up the marriage issue.
"Guy what are you planning to do now?? Hope you've finally agreed to marry that damsel??" Jeremy asked and I dropped the cup in my hand.
"Don't call her that! She isn't pretty" I said angrily
"Oops! Sorry, you don't have to get worked up over it, just answer my question" Jeremy said again
"Well I still don't believe I'm gonna marry that b*tch! Never will I take her as my wife!... Never!" I said
"Why are you like this Mike? This girl in question is so pretty and nice, she's more than enough for you. Why not leave Melissa and take the offer before it's too late??" Dave said
"Are you okay?? No just tell me you're not okay because it's so obvious that you're not fine... How can you compare my Melissa to that fop!? She's nothing compared to my darling, so don't make comparison" I said angrily.
"Let me tell you the truth, Nora is way more prettier and better than Melissa... Yes let's tell ourselves the truth even for once, I'll advice you to take the offer" Romeo said
"Why not marry her then?? I said I'm not interested in someone yet you're forcing me to accept her, don't you guys understand?? I hate her so much, I hate her with passion!" I shouted
"Simmer down guy, stop shouting. Remember it's your father's fault not any of us here, so why venting your anger on us?? Just chill and everything will be alright... The marriage is still in three months, so something must surely stop the marriage, I know that" Alvin said and I turned to him.
"Are you sure?" I asked
"Yeah, I have this feeling that something will stop the marriage" Alvin said again and I calmed down.
I'm getting myself worked up just because of that lowly girl.
I'll make her pay for it in a hard way!
I promise!
