His Betrayed Bride

Crystal Remain sitted crystal! Dad commanded I was about walking out from the dining table when dad stopped me. "You will not Marry Sergio! " Mum said "Can't you even see that ,that man doesn't even love you? He's only using you because of our influence trust me !" mum continued. "He's not using me mum ,I said in between sobs...dad I love Sergio" I continued, still trying to prove to my parents that Sergio loved me. "Sissy you should listen to mum and dad , you know they want the best for you" Licia My younger sister said while looking at me with concern in her eyes "shut up you brat! what do you even know about love or human relationships when everything you do is being dictated by mum and dad" I said to her rudely My love for Sergio had now turned me into a rebellious daughter "you are over stepping your boundaries young lady "mum said with a stern look on her face Licia just remained silent she looked obviously hurt with the way I spoke to her "Crystal from today onwards you won't leave this house anymore and if you must , you will go with the guards and that's final" Dad said after being silent for long " I support that " Mum said while still chewing on her food My parents were now restricting my movements so I wouldn't go to see Sergio anymore "D-dad you can't do that , please" I said,the tears now welling up in my eyes "Why are you people treating me this way...I love Sergio and he really loves me too ,why can't you people just see this "I said now crying "Spare us that lecture Miss" Dad said "but dad- "This conversation is over " dad said and left the dining table. "Sweetie you know your dad and I want the best for you, believe us when we say Sergio isn't the right man for you..try to see reason with us please dear" mum said as she came over me putting her arms around my shoulder "that man is way older than you crystal we- "really? he's older than me huh? I now see the reason why you don't want me to be happy... what? you're scared he might kill me ? or he might marry me and dump me " I said cutting mom short I had refused to see reason with my parents when they were warning me "what!?"mum exclaimed "Don't get me wrong baby...I'm your mom and wouldn't even bear to see you sad ...I want the best for you dear,I really do trust me " mom said "Then if you really love me as you claim allow me be with the person I love " I said, dropping the fork and knife I was holding angrily on the dining table and walked out of the room. "Crystal what has come over you " mum asked as I walked away I didn't even spare her any answer "Licia why don't you try talking to your sister,I believe she would listen to you " "oh mum please...you saw how she talked to me earlier and now you're asking me to try talk to her? I do not wish to be involved in anything that has to with crystal anymore please " licia answered in a stern but polite manner. The both of them had their lunch in silence afterwards.. I just collapsed on the bed in my room, lots of thoughts spiraling in my head then I remembered Natalie my best friend -we hadn't spoken in a long time - I picked up my phone to message her and luckily she was online crystal: Hi babes been a while (smiley face emoji) Natalie: been busy with a whole lot...how are you doing any progress on your parents approval of Sergio? Crystal: urgh...We still going back and forth on the matter but gues what! Natalie: they'll come around dear ....what? Crystal: Dad has now grounded me....I can't leave the house anymore and if I must I must go with guards Natalie: oops....sorry to hear that but I've got to go now,catch you up in a bit I didn't get any response from Natalie anymore ... what was I expecting!? she had her own life to live...she was free , no parents to decide for her ...I thought to myself... Then it crossed my mind that Sergio hadn't messaged me in two days...but I just brushed it off consoling myself that he was busy as he was trying to go into politics . I didn't realize when I drifted into sleep.... I woke up the next morning and wanted to go gist with licia then I remembered the events of yesterday and thought she might still be angry at me Because of the way I spoke her...I walked back to my room with guilt all over me "Ma'am breakfast is served" Madam Paula said while knocking on the door to my room she was the oldest steward and had been working for our parents even before we were born therefore we had to accord her some respect "I'll be there soon" I managed to mutter I stepped out of my room few minutes later... everyone was waiting for me so we could pray together and have our meal...we did and had our breakfast quietly The silence was really deafening... before dad broke it "Crystal have you changed your mind now ?" Dad asked "on what sir " I answered "Don't play dumb crystal,you know what I'm talking about"Dad replied angrily "Dad,mum, I started... nothing and nobody would ever make me change my mind concerning Sergio and that's final" I said trying to be brave on the outside but I was really trembling inside me Really...dad Said "yes sir" I muttered "get ready to severe all ties with this family and lose your inheritance as the heiress of this family if you proceed with that marriage with Sergio" dad said with finality in his tone "Silas...I think you are taking this matter too far " mum said with an awkard smile on her face "Alright then dad...I do not care about any inheritance by the way ....I don't mind starting allover again with Sergio " I Said "I DISOWN YOU FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS CRYSTAL " dad shouted! "perfect...now I can be with Sergio in peace " I said and stomped out of the dining room again.
