"Don't you dare think that I will marry you because I Love You and don't you dare lay your fingers to Isabelle!" he shouted

He grabs my arm harshly with his eyes burning with hate envelops me. I've never seen him this way before, reality dawns me. I will never be enough for him. The tears that I have been holding for so long found it's way to escape. He is stunned by the moment seeing me broke down into pieces.

I was born in a family that still used Fixed marriage for the good of the company. It sounds lame in 21st century but I can't do nothing about it. I'm Monica Premierre currently working in our company staff since I'm a fresh graduate. Everything is fine not until my greatest nightmare arrived.

My dad told us to have dinner with a the Hudsons a family friend. I am wearing a simple but elegant black silk dress with slit. It's a formal dinner after all. Heavens I'm 5 minutes late! Still I manage to walk like a model despite of nervousness. They are already waiting for me. My dad introduced me to the Hudsons, and then my eyes fly to the blue eyed man looking straight to my soul. I'm mesmerized to his God liked features. He offered me his hand and I have no choice but to accept it.

"Drake" he spoke.

They are talking to business and I'm just trying to listen to their conversation.

"Monica I want you to know our plans for you and Drake" daddy spoke

My hands started to feel cold, I know where this conversation going. " We decided to put you two in one house for you to have time to know each other after your wedding". he added that statement with voice of finallity, I want to talk but I keep my cool I've been told about this matter long time ago but I didn't know this would feel this bad.

Drake looked at me with blank expression. That moment I knew my journey will not be easy. He's the player type of man and I cam say that juat by looking to his physical appearance. His silver piercing and blue eyes that can hypnotize you just by looking. No matter I decline to this set up I have no say when it comes to my dad's decision. I'm destined for this and I can't do anything about it but move on and live.

After the dinner I got to my bed with thoughts running in my head. Tomorrow my life will dramatically change as my dad already want us to be together immediately. I pack my things slowly. I heard a knock and my mom goes in.

"I'm so sorry darling I failed to stop your father to end this family curse" my mom cried. I feel hopeless hearing that from mom.

"It's okay mom this is my destiny i guess" i laugh without humor. She then told me to go to sleep after our conversation.

I wake up by the knock of my door revealing my dad reminding me to get ready for my house transfer. I took a shower and stared myself in the mirror. This is my first time living with a man alone. My thoughts was interrupted by a call.

" Good Morning Mon do you have plans today" James voice filled my ears. He's a friend of mine since highschool.

" Yeah I have plans today James why do you ask?" i replied "Oh i see" bitterness is evident with this remarks. "Please call me when you're free then please" he added, a smile form in my lips

"Of course James let's do that"

I'm in my way to the new house where I am going to live with Drake. Feeling so damn nervous. A big mansion surrounded by the forest filled my eyes. You are so done Monica.

I entered the house the body guards immediately arranged my things to my room. The house is big and calm. Minimalist designs are evident to the place which I like. But then I remember I'm leaving with Drake here my stomach twist.

I tried looking for him but he's not here. Maybe his working. After some time I decided to go work out since I saw a room full of work out equipments. Wearing a sports bra ang highwaisted Jogging pants I started burning my thoughts. It's already 7 pm when I decided to cook something for dinner.

Looking something to cook in the kitchen, pasta is the most convenient. I don't know if I will wait for Drake or eat alone but then I decided to wait for him, but hours had passed still no trace of Drake it's already 11Pm! my stomach is growling so i decided to eat.

While I'm washing the plates the door opens. Drake's silhouette filled my eyes. The blue piercing eyes stared back at me.

"Your eating late" he said while taking his steps closer to me. I want to tell him it's because I waited for him!

"I cooked Pasta did you--" before I complete my sentence he interrupted it with "Yes of course" like he was hearing me talking about ridiculous thing.

I was stunned by his response gad I'm not used to it!

He immediately go upstairs after he said that to me. How stupid I am to ask that question he probably don't want this setup more than me.

We have separate room but it's next to each other. I lay my body to the soft bed feeling exhausted about everything. I tried to sleep but can't so I decided to go outside to drink some milk, I didn't bother to turn on the lights since The lights outside reflects because of the glass walls.

But before I can take my another step a strong arms grab my waist and before I can react a lips was smashed to mine hungrily.
