CHAPTER TWO : THE WEDDING WOULD BE TONIGHT
1149 Words
The car drove smoothly , speeding on the road with trees brushing by quickly . Freya took a deep breath, her eyes stinging with pain, tears threatening to roll down . She sniffled hard , bottling up her helplessness .
She was really leaving her entire life behind , everything , her research , her life , her hope , her belongings to be with an old man , someone she didn't know , someone she didn't even care to know .
The cold breeze blew on her skin mocking her for being weak , she shivered at the impact and took her face off the window. She made a small deprecating smile , her eyes slowly turning red with pain . Her mother’s voice still reverberated in her , she was meant to marry off to give her younger sister a better life ? She scoffed , when has Allison ever had a hard life? Even as a kid , she was sacrificed just so that Allison could get what she wanted . She was forced to drop out of high school because Allison needed the money to fund her academics .
Everything , her whole life has always revolved around how it would affect Allison . She was literally living for Allison . If Allison was not happy , her mother would make sure she would be miserable . Freya wiped her face free of the stray tears . Indeed , she was just a replaceable piece of junk before her Allison.
She could remember when she was made to do the entire house chores just because she started a little job to fund her high school. Her mother was offended and didn't like the fact that she was still going to school . She fired the entire maids and made her do the chores . Freya laughed with pain, her mother even said it was to train her to be strong . Her mother would prepare food and only let her eat once Allison had had her full and most of the time , Allison would eat some and make sure the rest would be wasted , making her starve the day .
She has always wondered if her father did something to her mother to make her mother hate her so much . She had searched everywhere to find this Walter , she had leads and she wouldn't give up until she found him .
Mother has always said he never loved her but came back when Allison was born . She really wanted to see him , even when Allison was born , she only saw his silhouette and not his face . She didn't know what he looked like or what he did for a living . All she knew was that she was a product of false love while Allison was the product of their true love.
What a life she has , neither loved by mother nor father!
“ You don't look too happy ma'am, girls who get the chance to be in the same space as my boss are always excited but you …..you are going to get married to him , yet you are not thrilled ?”
Freya scowled , her lips curling up with distaste. Any girl who would love to be in the same space with an old man is either too desperate to be a w***e or just stupid , she is neither , so why should she be happy ?
“ Would you let your sister marry him ?” Freya asked , her gaze fixed on the dark haired driver . He looked quite young and energetic, he wasn't among the huge bodyguards who smashed her head on the door out of anger . He had a smaller frame and of course, good driving skill.
The driver chuckled , “ I don't have a sister but if I did , I would really want her to be married to my boss” he said .
Freya's brows furrowed , his words sounded stupid , he would let his sister marry an old man? Was he stupid ?
“ Why ? Why would you let your sister marry him ?”
Kael smiled , Freya saw the small smile through the front mirror . He was really too stunning and charismatic to be a mere driver .
“ He is powerful and can take care of her” he replied and applied speed .
Freya's back hit the seat but she steadied herself immediately, her lips curled up in disgust . All everyone wanted was power , the power to do what they wanted , the power to rule others but has anyone ever asked her what she wanted? She wanted to find her father , she wanted love …from her parents , she wanted to be successful and make her family happy , she wanted to marry the man she loved and knew , not this , not all this.
Her life was going to be ruined by some old man and his driver is talking about power ? What a disdainful word !
“ You mean you are not enough to take care of your sister ? You are not capable?” She asked , her voice laced with stubbornness .
Kael’s hands gripped on the steering wheel, “ I couldn't, that is actually why I admire my boss” he replied , his voice low , his gaze fleeting.
Freya noticed the longing and pain in his voice and refrained from asking any more questions. She couldn't transfer her aggression to someone else just to make herself feel better . She would have to swallow all her anger and discontent.
The man was already old , he would die soon , she could also run faster than him , he couldn't catch her if she dared to run .
“ Just be prepared , we would be meeting your makeup artist soon , the wedding would be tonight”
Freya's body ran cold , her eyes snapping towards him in an instant . It was like an explosion just occured , a tense music vibrating through her .
Makeup artist ? Wedding ? Tonight? Who does a wedding at night if not fictional vampires ? But wait , she was going to wed the old man , tonight ? Now ? This moment? And after the wedding what next ?
“ No, it can't be , I can't get married to him …not today , I don't want to” Freya complained, her voice trembling.
How could she escape the wedding? Her mother just tossed her into the wedding , she didn't care if she wanted it or not !
How could her entire life take the greatest and most awkward turn ?! Why should it have to be her ?
