View MoreAnother day another dress-up, this one was way more exhausting than the other one. Mom put me in an uncomfortable dress that I could barely move in, it hugged every inch of my body barely giving me room to breathe. She insisted on putting my hair in a bun which I wasn't comfortable with but couldn't argue, I hated having my hair up it made my neck feel like they were exposed.It was the day I was to meet my husband to be apparently, I had gone through the family tree of the Valois and I still couldn't guess who it would be. Every part of me was nervous and anxious at the same time. I expected Mom to confront me about speaking back to Dad or being rude to him like she would love to call it but she didn't. I guess she didn't want anything to spoil the very important day.“We have to start going we can't keep them waiting!!” Dad shouted from downstairs“We would be down in a minute,” Mom said choking me with the hair spray for the thousandth time“Mom you need to help me do my hair,” Kay
The night was long and I couldn't seem to catch any sleep, I kept tossing and turning to no avail. I spent half of the night trying to find out who might be the person I was to get married to, with my research I found out that the man who came was the acting CEO of Valois Group, and the woman that was with him was his mother just as I thought.If he wasn’t the one I was to marry, who was it then? Part of me wanted to go ask Kayla. She knew exactly who the person was but she didn’t want to let me in on it.I decided to get out of the house, it was suffocating. I needed air, and being in that house made me feel trapped, I tiptoed down the stairs to sneak out of the house without being seen by anyone just to avoid unnecessary questions.Or should I run away? A question popped into my head as I went down but the issue with that was that I still needed them no matter how I hated it, it was the wicked truth. Nyla needed to get that surgery “And where would you be heading to by this time?”
I sat still at the dinner table. Mom kept on fixing my hair and dress repeatedly, I wanted to bolt out of that room with the speed of light but I felt trapped like I couldn't move a muscle. Everything was happening too fast, the more I thought about the more it didn't make sense to me.How did I get here? I was given no choice. Was this how I would throw my life away?They made it clear to me that if I didn't get married as it was said, Nyla wouldn't get the money she needed for her major surgery. The money they promised to pay now all of a sudden, it was an exchange, they knew I wouldn't have a choice but to agree to it and they were right. I didn't have a choice.I didn't have a say in anything that was going on, I was about to be shipped off to a man I knew nothing about. If we were left at the orphanage maybe just maybe my life would have been slightly better than this, maybe I would be happy. I couldn't answer that but one thing was sure whatever would have been the outcome of
Everyone including Kayla was present at the dining table, as I walked in slowly all I could hear was the clattering of cutlery on the glass dishes. Of course, they started dinner without me“Hello” I muttered under my breath waiting for the outlash that was coming “You are late” Mom snapped as I was about to take my sit making me freeze halfway “I’m sorry I-”“That is all you know how to do, you are always fucking sorry” she spat in my face before I could complete my sentenceMy blood boiled in anger as I watched Kayla giggle as I was been scolded at“That’s enough,” Dad said, not raising his head off his plate. I quietly sat down and dinner just carried on, I couldn’t bring myself to take a bite of the food in front of me. My heart was thumping so loud anxiously waiting to hear the reason I was summoned.“So,” Dad said dabbing the corner of his mouth, I immediately sat upright as his cold gaze landed on me, my throat immediately drying up as I waited to hear what he had to say“We
NAYAAll I always wished for was to be loved and cared for, it was my birthday once again but that wish never seems to be coming to pass. As I rubbed the surface of a tabletop lazily with my eyes fixated on a girl blowing out a candle and smiling from ear to ear. A pang of jealousy washed through me as I watched her, it was my birthday too but there I was wiping spilled drinks off a table.My life was more pathetic than it sounded most times I just wanted everything to end so I could feel free but I never got the courage to make the move, you could call me a coward.My eyes met with the girl sitting across the birthday girl making my cheek turn red in embarrassment she probably thought I was weird for staring like that, I quickly took my eyes away and focused on cleaning the invisible stain on the table“How long would it take you to clean that table they are customers waiting!” I heard my manager snap at meI lowered my head in shame and walked over to the counter to continue giving
