Chapter one6:am, GreenvilleCollins Pov"What! No! No way"!"This is a joke, right...? You... don't mean this." I screamed unbelievably into the phone receiver. The voice at the other end of the receiver came through."Yes Collins. I'm sorry it has to end this way" and then the call ended. The shock was too much for me to bear. I burst into hysterical laughter, feeling a deep stab in my heart. "Oh no!, I started ."Haha... that was a...that was the greatest joke I've heard in my life....", I broke off and suddenly felt an itch to scream. Hitting the mirror in which I stood in front, I rubbed my hair in my hands and impulsively threw a fist at the pitiful image in front of me. The mirror came shattering all over in front of me and I watched blood triple down my battered hands. I heard a hurried advancement and knew instantly that it was my mum rushing up. She let out a gasp the moment she stepped in and echoed "What have you done, Collins?" She gazed at me, her expression clearly w...

Chapter 2
Chapter two.Vivian's povI had just stepped into the living room to pick up my phone which I had left on the couch, when Cynthia stormed in, dropped the bag she was carrying and walked angrily into her room. I watched her in curiosity and wondered what could have caused her reaction. Picking up the bag she dropped, I peeped into the contents and seemed satisfied. This is the exact medicine the doctor asked me to get for mum, I thought, and smiled. I'll have to drop by at the hospital later in the day, but for now, I have to check on my younger sister.I turned and saw her approaching, in a changed dress. "What's wrong with you?" I demanded and added, "You dropped your bag carelessly and stormed off".I stared at her intensely as she scoffed and folded her arms. Though with a frown, I still acknowledged Cynthia's beauty, which, of course, is a replica of myself. We look so much alike that people do make mistakes in identifying us.Cynthia turned her gaze at me, her lips pouted. "I r

Chapter 3
Fifteen minutes earlierFred's pov.As the gate opened, and I drove in, I seemed very pleased with myself. I peeped at the lady in the back and smiled. Mr Johnson would be delighted at the Angel I just found, I thought.I let my mind drift to the event that happened earlier. I adjusted my collar as I stepped out of the car and stood before a magnificent building. The Johnson family is damn rich, I thought as I scanned the company, watching the people around me go in and out with files. I walked in and the secretary immediately stood up to acknowledge me. "Assemble the ladies working in the company," I ordered.He arched his brow while I looked away. Soon, the ladies were marched before me and I moved from one lady to the other. Mr Johnson wouldn't settle for less, so I had to select carefully, I thought.Then the door swung open. I turned and gasped at the damsel advancing.She wore an off-white top on a black skirt which hung just below her knees, revealing perfectly long toned legs

Chapter 4
Vivian's pov "Hell no! Evelyn ma'am, how can you ask me to do such a thing?" I fumed, widening my eyes in horror.The restaurant is empty already. No wonder Evelyn ma'am had sent Lauren to get something I consider irrelevant in the first place. Is it to discuss this trash with me? I thought angrily.It was almost unbelievable to me as I stood bewildered, tapping my feet rapidly. "Vivian dear..." Evelyn started, patting my back."No, I'm not going to do that. That's ridiculous", I cut in."I'm not going to be a replacement bride for anyone, and that's final" I said, with tears forming."Think about your mother" Evelyn ma'am said, and I sniffed. She raised a finger to wipe my lines of tears and continued in a shaky voice. "She needs a lot of money for her surgery and there's no way to realize such an amount, you know that". This reality stung and I cried the more.I stammered and searched for words. ""I... I... don't....,""I know it's a very tough decision dear, but you have to do

Johnson's Mansion. 7:30amVivian's pov.I got out of the taxi and paid the driver, who drove away quickly. Looking up at the mansion before me, I gasped. This is really it, I thought. It has to be. I tapped my phone to reconfirm the address. I'm not mistaken. But am I not standing at paradise gate? I questioned, still marveling at the beautiful sight before me.I was still lost in admiration when the gate opened swiftly and a security officer scanned me with his eyes. "Sorry..." I stammered"Is this Mr Johnson's mansion please" I inquired."What business do you have here, young lady?" The officer growled at me and I instantly felt a flicker of fear.Picking up confidence, I replied "I'm here to see Mr Johnson please""You have an appointment with him? May I check the appointment?""No, I...I""What's going on here?" A voice cuts in, trailing me off. I was glad when he came closer, and I discovered it was Fred."Ma'am, you're here" he said, his face lifting.Relieved at seeing him, I

Chapter 6
Collin's povI saw her clearly. She has a tiny stature with a waist that seems to break the next second. If I stood close, I am sure her head would be below my shoulder. She stood a few steps away from me as she admired the beautiful garden. But who is she? I thought. I greatly admire her long hair, curly and sparkling in the sunlight. The breeze gently adds rhythm to the curly hair. She let out a soft smile and I immediately felt drawn. I started to move closer; one resounding step after the other and just when I was about to reach her...."Collins", I heard someone call my name and turned sleepily."Collins! Collins" I heard again, feeling a hand gently tapping me.I glanced up and saw Fred standing over me. Oh! I've been dreaming. What the hell! I wish Fred hadn't interrupted at that moment, I was so close to discovering who she was."Hey man, you've got to wake up" he said persistently. I yawned and murmured "What is it, Fred?"It's not unusual for Fred to come wake me up, I thou

Vivian's povI cast a glance at him and immediately averted my eyes when his deep eyes peered back at me."Welcome young lady, what's your name again?" Mr Johnson asked."Vivian, I replied with a smile. He nodded, obviously pleased, while Mrs Catherine looked indifferent.I could feel her stare all over me and I shifted uncomfortably on my seat.Clearing his throat loudly, Mr Johnson resumed "Okay so let's get this straight""I'm sure, Fred told you about this, and you fully understand that you're about to sign up for a marriage contract?"I swallowed hard. Is it right that I am here? What if I had acted only on impulse?I surveyed their faces, there was something in their faces that didn't seem right.Mrs Johnson is clearly displeased with me, Collins almost ripped my throat moments ago.And Mr Johnson..., I thought with a deep frown. Something just doesn't seem right about him."Vivian?" I heard my name and jolted. Maybe I was wrong, and I was just being paranoid. I resolved and flas

Chapter 8
Collins pov.I watched as the car carried her out of the compound, my eyes locking hers.I frowned as I remembered her sarcastic reply when I taunted her earlier. "She has a bad mouth", I muttered. Sighing, I dipped my hands in my pockets and allowed the cool breeze to sweep past me.This feels good, I thought. But why?I feel like a stranger to myself and I don't know what's happening to me. Yesterday, when dad had told me about the appointment, I had vowed never to look at her not to talk about speaking with her. But hell! I didn't just look, I stared!"Of course, this is nothing", I assured myself, and walked into the house. I need to get prepared for work, I said, remembering I have a meeting to attend later in the day.I met mum descending the stairs, as I walked in. "Mum" I called"Son, how are you feeling" she replied, stepping fully into the sitting room."I'm good mum" I replied non-chalantly."Hmmm" she mumbled. "You're sure you're feeling good?" She said again, looking inte

Chapter 9
Vivian's pov "Hell no?" Cynthia screamed, her voice echoing through the whole house."You will do no such thing," she added, and shouted in anger "Arrrgghhh!"I felt lost, I didn't know what to do. Cynthia had seen the document lying on the bed and had checked. It's over an hour, and she still wouldn't listen to what I have to say."Listen Cynthia", I started calmly, pulling her closer. She jerked away from my pull and stood at a distance. How do I convince her and let her see the reasons behind my actions? I thought, staring at her helplessly."I don't want to listen to you or any of your flimsy reasons. I will not allow you to get married to that rude jerk! Have you forgotten how he almost ran over me? She shouted in disbelief.I know it's really hard for my sister to come to terms with the fact that I'm signing a marriage contract, but what's harder is that Collins already has a bad record with her, and she won't let go easily.I sighed and tried to calm her down.Moving closer to

Vivian's pov "Why didn't you tell me?" I probed further.She took my arms and led me to the sitting room. She sat down and urged me to do the same.I sat nonchalantly and peered at her, half raising my chin. "I didn't know you had such plans, Vivian. Besides, I was paid just this morning when I got to school""The first thing I did in my excitement was to phone you, but you didn't pick up" she said. I raised my brows."Check," she said, handing me my phone. I searched through the missed calls and found that I missed her calls. That must have been when I was at Mr Johnson's place, I thought."You see, I'm not lying". She resumed with a worried look."And when you didn't pick up my call, I rushed to the hospital and handed him all the money and returned home after.""I know it's not enough, but at least, it will still be used for a while before we raise any money," she concluded.When she concluded her words, I leaned forward and grabbed her arms."Listen Cynthia. You shouldn't have d
