Chapter 22 (1)

I felt like I had just been struck by lightning. I just couldn't believe what Uncle Benny had just said. How could I marry a guy I just met yesterday?

"Sorry, Uncle Benny, can you repeat that?" I asked, hoping it was just a prank.

"Well, I, your late father, and Troy's late father were friends since college," Uncle Benny began to explain.

"Your dad and Troy's dad were successful in building their companies. They had agreed to merge their companies by having their children marry each other. And so, they made a will," Uncle Benny explained in detail.

I noticed Troy smiling the whole time.

"Troy, did you already know about this?" I asked, suspicious.

"Yes, that's true. I've been keeping an eye on my future wife for a while. Sarah, it's time for you to be happy. After suffering so long with that useless man, I promise to make you happy for the rest of my life. Marry me," Troy said.

I was stunned, looking at Troy who was suddenly standing right in front of me. My heart was pounding.
