Prologue
"You’re such a b***h! I will not leave you this time.” I hear my cousin, Tia’s, angry voice and I begin to shiver in fear.
I don’t know what I have done today to make her so angry but now it has become my daily routine to face the anger of Tia. No one, literally no one stops her when she beats me so bad. Once she nearly broke my ribs and still no one came to my rescue to protect me, I am just a waste in this house.
Tia starts pulling my hair, “You whore.” I look into her eyes and all I see is disgust and hatred towards me. “You b***h; again because of you I had a breakup. What’s so special in you that everyone wants to make you their girlfriend?”
I am not the reason that her boyfriends ditch her, she herself is the reason. Who would like to be the boyfriend of this w***e who loves them for their bank balance? I want to shout all this to her face but here I am the weak one.
Soon my aunt walks into the room, Tia is still pulling my hair and my aunt looks at me with same disgust Tia does.
“Tia baby what happened? Why are you making your hand dirty by pulling her hair?”
Wow! Great! Here, my aunt is worrying about her daughter’s hand which will get dirty after touching me instead of feeling bad for my pain which her daughter is giving me by pulling on my hair so harshly.
“You know mom, Jacob ditched me just because of her. He said that my sister is more beautiful than me. It’s the fifth time that my boyfriend has ditched me because of her. This time I will not leave her alone.” Saying this Tia throws me against the wall and place her hands around my throat choking me.
She starts pressing my throat harshly with an evil smirk on her face. I feel suffocated. It feels like I will die in a minute. Big fat tears stream down from my eyes due to pain and suffocation.
“Lee...ave...Leave...meeee” I request Tia to leave me as the pain is enough. I don’t know for how long I would be able to survive this torture.
“Leave her Tia and it’s an order.”
Tia leaves me hearing the order and I fall on the ground breathing heavily, my face filled with tears due to Tia’s torture.
“What is this Dad? Why did you stop me from murdering this b***h?” She looks in my direction and throws a killing glare.
Even I am shocked as, in this family no one cares for me. So why today did my uncle save me from his princess’s wrath?
“You can take your revenge from her later princess” he says lovingly to Tia then glares in my direction. “And you, Emily. I need you to be ready in next thirty minutes. Mr. Knight will be coming home and we have very important meeting. I want you to serve him your best.”
I rub my face with my palm to remove my tears and move to washroom to clean my face. Then I change my dress to long skirt and plain top. I prepare some light snacks for the guest with drinks.
After nearly half an hour my uncle calls me to serve the dishes.
I enter the living room with a tray in my hands to find Tia and my aunt throwing killing glares in my direction. Ignoring them I look at man sitting in the center of room still with the same attitude and ego. I give him a forced smile and place the tray on table. Mr. Knight gives me the same evil smile which Tia gives me when she wants something from me.
I feel something off about him but I decide to ignore it.
“Emily. Meet your future husband. He has purchased you as his wife.”
Hearing my uncle’s words, the land seems to slip from under my feet and I look at all of them, shocked. I can’t be ‘His Purchase Wife’.
