Synopsis

“Get married to my son if you ever want your father to be released!” Mr. Carter uttered the very words that would end up turning my life around. I knew he wasn't joking. The look on his face was all the evidence I needed. I knew I had to do it because it was the only choice I have left, but... I'll not go down without a fight! "I, Althea Ruiz, swear on my life that I will never get married to Adam Wilson!" I said out loud, my voice echoing through the room. "We'll see about that!" Adam said through the phone. *With blood on the line and an arranged marriage as ransom, Althea has to make the most difficult choice of her life; abandon her boyfriend of six years and get married to a man that no one has seen for the last ten years. What could go wrong?

He felt the heat rising in his body, and he knew he had to get away from her.He tried to play it cool when she took off her wet shirt. But seeing her like that made him feel things he had never felt before. His mind started racing, and he felt his body temperature rising. He had to get out of there.

THE PROPOSAL

For The Rest Of Our Lives/Latté

ALTHEA'S POV The air in the living room was thick with tension, and I could feel it as I sat there with my mother. Bella, my younger sister, seemed to sense it too. It had been a week since the incident, and its aftermath hung heavy in the air. The mood in our family was grim and anxious, and I didn't know what to say to lighten the tension. My whole family was in a state of panic.I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could utter a word, the front door opened and someone walked in. I looked up, my heart racing as I recognized Mr. Carter, our family friend. As Mr. Carter approached us, I noticed the anger in his eyes and the tightness of his jaw. I wondered what had happened to put him in such a bad mood. We all stood up in respect as Mr. Carter entered the room, and my mom greeted him with a warm smile.“Good day, Mr. Carter.” My mother greeted, her voice sounding more cheerful than I knew she felt. She was trying to keep the peace, I could tell. I bowed my head in respect, not

“I want you to get married to my son if you ever want your father to be released!” Mr Carter uttered the very words that would end up turning my life around.“Again with this joke?” I asked in confusion."You really think I'm joking?" Mr. Carter asked, an amused look on his face."It's got to be a joke, right?" I said, my voice shaking with uncertainty, still not quite able to process what he was saying.Mr. Carter's expression didn't change. "It's no joke," he said matter-of-factly. "I'm completely serious."I was stunned. This couldn't be happening. But Mr. Carter's tone and demeanor left no room for doubt. I felt my stomach drop. This was no joke. My mother and I were caught in the middle of something we didn't understand and we had no idea what to do next."What do you want from us?" my mother asked, her voice breaking. "Why are you doing this?""I want something that is very important to me," Mr. Carter said. "I can't tell you what it is, but I can assure you that it's worth your

"Please, don't blame me for what I'm about to tell you," my mother pleaded. "I tried to stop it from happening, but I couldn't." We both sat down to listen to what she had to say.My heart was racing as I waited for her to continue. "What are you talking about?" I demanded. "Just tell me what's going on!""Your father..." she said, trailing off as her voice broke. I could tell that whatever it was, it was bad. Really bad.My mother took a deep sigh and cleaned her tears before saying “I…knew it was Mr Carter who kidnapped your father.”I felt my heart sink. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Are you saying that you knew Mr. Carter was behind father's disappearance, and you didn't do anything to stop him?" I asked, my voice cracking with emotion.My mother's eyes filled with tears. "I did what I thought was best," she said, but even she sounded unconvinced. "I know it was wrong, but I was scared. I'm so sorry, Althea. I never meant to hurt you."I sat in stunned silence, my mind re

"I'm going to run away," I said, my voice full of conviction. "I have to get out of here. I have to get away from all of this.""But running away is a very drastic step," she said, a note of concern in her voice. "It could have serious consequences. Are you sure that's what you want to do?""I know it's a big decision," I said, my mind made up. "But I don't see any other way out. I have to save myself, no matter the cost!”“Fleeing from this marriage won't help the situation at hand, Althea.” Kathryn advised.“Then what do you think I should do? Because I cannot and will not give up on my relationship with Timothy!” I said vehemently."You don't have to give up on your relationship with Timothy," she said, her voice gentle and soothing. "There are other ways to handle this situation, ways that don't involve running away or giving up on the people you love. Sometimes the most beautiful things can happen when we keep our hearts open to the possibilities."Her words struck a chord in my h

"Tea!" Bella's voice rang out, followed by a series of insistent knocks on the door."I have to go," I said to Kathryn, my heart racing. "Bella's at the door. I can't let her see me like this.""Okay," she said, her voice full of concern. "I'll be here if you need me. Please, take care of yourself. And don't hesitate to call me if you need anything, okay?""I will," I said, already reaching for the door handle. "Thank you for listening, Kathryn. I really appreciate it.""You're very welcome, Tea," she said. "I hope everything works out okay." With that, the call came to an end.I quickly wiped my tears and went to answer the door, where Bella was standing on the other side. Her face was full of worry as she looked me up and down. "Tea, what's going on?" she asked, her voice urgent. "I've been knocking and calling your name for ages. Were you ignoring me?""No, of course not," I said, my voice sounding a little too high-pitched and fake. "I was just…"I let out a laugh, trying to lighte

THE GROOMLESS BRIDE

For The Rest Of Our Lives/Latté

The week leading up to the wedding passed by in a blur. My mother had been inconsolable after the phone call with Mr. Carter, but she eventually pulled herself together and began planning the wedding. We had to find a way to tell everyone the news - that I was getting married, and that my groom wouldn't be there. It was even harder to tell Bella, my younger sister, but we managed to do it. Some people were excited, others confused, and others just seemed worried for me. We told them all and handed out the invitation cards. Bella, on the other hand, was excited.It was hard to tell Timothy the news, but I knew I couldn't put it off any longer. I couldn't bear to see the hurt in his eyes, and I knew that telling him would break my heart. In the end, it was Kathryn who told him, while I cowered in my house, unable to face him. I felt like a coward, and the guilt weighed heavily on my shoulders.The media had gotten wind of the situation, and I was horrified to see headlines calling me "Th

ADAM'S POV"Sir, we've finally found some information about the girl... er, I mean your bride." the man said, a slight tremor in his voice. I took a sip of my coffee, savoring the moment."Go on," I said, my voice icy and controlled. The man fumbled with his tablet for a moment before speaking again. "Her name is Althea Ruiz, and she's 24 years old. She's of Italian descent, and her hobbies include drawing, cooking, and doing charity work. She's a practicing Christian who graduated from Harvard University and has a PhD in business administration from the University of Bologna. Her family consists of her sister, Bella, her mother, Melissa, and her father, Daniel, and her brother, Matthew…deceased. She works for the MKT Group of Companies." the man said, looking at his tablet.After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief. I remained silent, sipping my coffee slowly. Finally, I spoke, my voice cold and measured. "Is that all, Mr. Maxwell?"He visibly flinched at my tone,

ALTHEA'S POVAfter all these years of pain and sorrow, one would think that my family would have found some semblance of peace. But with the impending wedding, I felt nothing but dread. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but it felt more like we were stuck in a place of grief, unable to move forward.I lay on my bed, dreading the moment when I'd have to leave the room and face the reality of the situation. Who would walk me down the aisle? My father was out of the question - he has been kidnapped a week ago and is yet to be found. My brother, who had always been my rock, was gone too - taken by a car accident days after his birthday. The thought of walking down the aisle alone, without either of them by my side, was almost too much to bear.As for my groom, I knew he wouldn't be there. There was no way he'd show up, he would never come. And if he did, it would surely be a sign of the apocalypse.Downstairs, my sister Bella and my mother were greeting the guests as they arrived.

"It's so good to see you!" she said, hugging her tight.Bella's face lit up with excitement. "Kathryn, what did you bring me from London?" she asked, her eyes wide with anticipation."Oh, I have a few things for you," Kathryn said, setting the girl down. "But they're at home. I will send them to you later. "Okay, I'll go tell Althea," Bella said, sliding out of Kathryn's embrace."No, no, no!" Kathryn said, putting a finger to her lips. "Remember, it's a secret, Bell. You can't tell Althea!""Oh! I won't tell her, I promise!" Bella said, her eyes wide with excitement."Thank you, sweetie," Kathryn said, giving her a quick hug. "Now go and play with your friends, okay?""Bye!" Bella called over her shoulder as she ran off to join her friends.Kathryn turned back to Mrs. Melissa, a serious expression on her face.
