I groaned, taking my eyes off my phone. Why the hell am I going through Hayden’s biography.
“You need to know about your husband, duh!” My subconscious said.
“Eww! He isn’t my husband..he is...” I stopped when I realized I’m talking to myself.
I locked my self in the room after the conversation with my mom. I hope she isn’t planning anything funny because I can’t afford to lose Ezra.
Hayden is 26, I’m 18. The thought of getting married to him irritates me. Didn’t my parent think about this before accepting his selfish offer? Of course they didn’t. They are blinded by his money.
Speaking of Hayden, I haven’t seen him before. Just on the net and news. He’s handsome but...
“He isn’t handsome..stop thinking about him, Brit!” I warned myself.
My phone rang and On checking the caller’s ID, I found out it’s Ezra. My heart skipped a bit and i cleared my throat before picking his call.
“Hello” I said trying to sound cool.
“Hi Brit, How are you doing?”
“I’m marr..I mean, I’m fine” I chuckled nervously. What’s wrong with me??!
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“Yeah..yeah sure. Why did you call?” I asked hurriedly.
“To check up on you. Are you okay, Brit? You don’t sound okay”
“Of course I’m fine. I’m just busy..we will talk later. I need to get back at...work!”
“Oh...okay” he hesitated before saying it. “We will see at school tomorrow then”
“School? Oh yeah!, School...bye!” I ended the call immediately.
I slapped myself continuously. Why the hell am i acting so uneasy. If I’m like this on call., How will I be able to face him!?
{The next morning}
I woke up super early. I wasn’t able to sleep. How would I when the disturbing thoughts about me getting married kept popping up?!
I got up from my bed and went into the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror and frowned. My ebony black hair is scattered and I look like a walking dead.
I removed my gaze from the mirror and brushed my teeth. When I was done, I had my bath, dressed up, carried my backpack and exit my room. I didn’t eat dinner last night and I’m fucking hungry right now.
My dad is in the dining room already with my mom having breakfast. I had the urge to join them but I won’t. Instead, I made to exit the house but my dad’s voice stopped me.
“I believe you saw us seated here”
“Yeah?” I gave him a questioning look.
“Join us for breakfast” He said.
“I’m not hungry” I lied. My stomach grumbled but I ignored it.
“You obviously are!” He uttered.
“I’m late for school”
“It’s still early.” He stated the obvious.
“I have to do somethings” I maintained my ground.
“Nick will take you to school” He said. Nick is one of his bodyguards.
“What! No! I have a car”
“The car I got for you” he corrected. “He will drive you”
“I can drive myself” I said. I definitely do not need someone monitoring me around. Especially that sneaky Nick.
“Okay, you are staying at home if you won’t allow nick drive you”
“Dad!”
“Daughter!”
“This is not fair!” I groaned.
“Life is not fair” he said.
“Argh! Fine! Nick...come drive the fucking car” I said angrily and marched out of the house.
Throughout the drive, I kept an angry and straight face. I’m hungry and angry at the same time.
Nick got to the school premises in few minutes and i came out of the car.
Nick did the same and I glared at him. “You aren’t following me to my class, are you?”
He nodded negatively. “Thank goodness!” I hissed and walked away.
I entered my home room class and was glad to find Tiana, my best friend in the class already. I went to her backpack and opened it.
“Okay, what are you looki..”
I interrupted her. “I’m fucking starving. I need to eat something”
“And why would there be food in my backpack?” I heard her utter and I left the backpack realizing it’s true.
“Ezra to the rescue!” I heard his voice and my heart skips. I’m really scared to look up at him.
“I have some cookies. You can have it.” He said but I still didn’t look up.
I felt his tap on my shoulder and I flinched.
“What’s wrong?” He asked worriedly.
“Nothing...Thanks!” I said collecting the cookies from him.
He must have seen me walk in and go through Tiana’s backpack for food. That’s so embarrassing.
I started eating the cookies and said a silent prayer to Ezra. I could have died! That’s just me being sarcastic tho.
I was almost done with it when the homeroom teacher entered and Ezra went back to his seat.
She started calling out names for attendance while I zoned out.
*******
“Brit!, is something wrong?” He asked me. We were at the staircase. Ezra and I.
“Something is wrong but I don’t know how to tell you”
“Tell me about it. Please” he pleaded.
“I don’t know how you will take it”
“Just say it, okay?”
“Okay fine, I’m getting married” I finally said.
There was a long silence and I got scared I made a mistake telling him.
“Ezra?” I called.
“You’re what?” He asked, flabbergasted.
“Getting married. It’s my dad, he said...”
“What do you want to explain again? You are Happy about it right?”
“What? No! Why would I?”
“Who are you getting married to?” He asked.
“Hayden. Wyatt Hayden” I answered.
“Wow!, just wow! You guys would look cute together.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I scrunched my brows.
“That’s why you refused my proposal. Isn’t that it? So you can marry your Prince Charming”
“Eww! Hayden isn’t my Prince Charming!”
“You don’t have to pretend. I know and it’s fine. It was my fault falling for you!” He spat.
“Ezra!”

“Brittany! Brittany Jones!” I heard the homeroom teacher called and I flinched almost falling off my seat.
I looked around and I was still in the homeroom class. It was all an imaginations. Telling Ezra about me getting married and him taking it the wrong way.
“What were you thinking. Been calling you for a while now” the homeroom teacher said.
“I’m sorry” I apologized and she just nodded.
I looked at Ezra’s direction and he happened to be looking at me worriedly.
I forced a smile at him and looked away. What if my imagination come to pass if I tell him?
I don’t want to lose him and I can’t afford to. I rather not tell him. Yes, I won’t.
Chapter 3*BRITTANY’S POV*LUNCH BREAKTiana, Ezra and i are seated together at the cafeteria. We ate in silence and the silence is quite disturbing.“Okay, something is definitely wrong with you, Brit. You look unusually dull today” Ezra said breaking the silence.“Yeah, I noticed it too. Did something happen?” Tiana added looking at me.I faked laugh. “Nothing is wrong. You guys don’t know what you are talking about” “That’s a fake laughter. I know you, Brit” Tiana rolled her eyes. She knows me so well. “It’s just....” I started while their whole concentration was on me. “I’m just dull because I lost my puppy and I’m really sad about it”“You don’t have a puppy, Brit” Ezra and Tiana said at the same time rolling their eyes.“I don’t? Oh yes! I don’t.” I laughed nervously.“Nothing is wrong okay? I’m fine” I told them and removed my gaze from them focusing on my food but I could still feel them staring at me intently.AFTERNOON. I laid on the bed brining out my iPad. My parents a
Ch 4“With your soon to be husband” She said and my mood changed immediately.A dinner date with Wyatt fucking Hayden. Are you kidding me?“Mom, I’m not getting married to him and I won’t go on any stupid date with him” I said furiously.“You don’t have a choice. Now, go get ready. Nick will drive you to the restaurant when it’s time”“But mom!”“Brit, I understand you don’t want it but trust me when I tell you you won’t regret it. Hayden won’t hurt you”“I didn’t say he will. I’m just not ready for marriage”“That was what I thought my parents told me then I’m getting married at age 16 but as time goes on, I got used to it”“So your marriage to dad was Arranged?” “Yes dear. But we are both happy now” she smiled and I scoffed.“I’m not you, Mom”“Brit, just accept this. Nothing can change. You’re getting married to Hayden no matter what!” She maintained her ground.“Wow” I said as a tear drop from my eyes.I walked away from her and went up to my room to empty my tears.***IN THE N
Chapter 5It took me a while to lapse back into consciousness. I took my phone from the floor and with shaky hands, I logged in back to Instagram.The post already has 100k likes and bloggers were reposting it already.This is not good, this is not good at all.I entered Hayden’s inbox and messaged him immediately.TO HAYDEN- why the fuck did you snap me without my permission. And could you please delete your post on Instagram. I told you I’m Not interested in getting married to you.He viewed it but didn’t reply. In anger, I sent another message.TO HAYDEN- Reply me!!!He replied me after three minutes.FROM HAYDEN- Hey wifey, how are you?I clenched my fist in anger. He didn’t even reply to my message but asked how I am. The fuck, I’m not fine!My phone started ringing. I picked without checking the caller’s ID.“Brittany!” Tiana’s high pitched voice said.“Yeah” I replied dryly.“You went on a date with Hayden!! The news is all over the net. Baby girl, you are trending!” She screa
Chapter 6I stood up from my seat. Hayden was about to say something about my sudden action but I shut him up by walking to his seat and placing my lips on his.Hayden seems to be shocked by the kiss also because he didn’t move his lips neither did he push me off. I disengaged from the kiss and cleared my throat nervously.I looked back and saw Ezra and dolly staring at us with their mouth opened and they eyes widened.I smiled satisfactory and went back to my seat.“Let me guess...that’s your ex boyfriend right there and you just kissed him to make him jealous” Hayden said.“I’m sorry” I bowed down my head.What did I just do?? In an attempt to make the person I like jealous, I kissed someone I don’t like.“Damn you, Brit!” My sub conscious screamed at me. “I...I...”He interrupted me. “So have you made a choice on the food you want?”“Oh yes!” I said and he beckoned at the waiter nearby.I couldn’t think anymore. I kept thinking about what happened earlier ago.I touched my lips an
Chapter 7*BRITTANY’S POV*Some minutes later, I was done and I came out of the bathroom and opened my wardrobe.I took my pajamas and wore it. I retired to my bed and carried my phone.My eyes widened when I saw five missed calls from EZRA.I scrunched my brows in confusion. Why is he calling me? I asked myself.I contemplated whether to call him back or not and decided not to. I laid on my bed expecting him to call back but he didn’t.I didn’t know when I slept off.**THE NEXT DAY...I woke up feeling extremely weak and my head was banging.I managed to get up from my bed and touched my forehead.I got down from the bed and limped out of my room. Immediately I left my room, I fell on the floor and lost consciousness.*******I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room. This is definitely not my room. I stood up when I saw my mom walking in.“Baby, how are you?” She asked, a worried look plastered on her face.“Where am I?” I asked instead ignoring her question.“The hospita
Chapter 8He started moving his face closer to mine and I gulped down nothing. His lips were about touching mine I heard a crashing sound and I widened my eyes on seeing Ezra been pushed to the wall.He made a painful groan and I turned to see who pushed him.“Dolly!” I looked shocked on seeing her. How did she get the strength to push him that hard.“I don’t want to see you with my boyfriend” she glared at me angrily.“Boyfriend?” I arched my brows and moved my gaze to Ezra who also looked shocked to see Dolly.“I’m not your boyfriend” Ezra gritted his teeth.“Of course you are. You asked me out, remember “ dolly said.“You literally did and I’m not interested in you. I don’t love you” he uttered.“But you love her” she squeezed her face in disgust. “You love someone you can’t be with. Someone who is nothing but a whore. Someone who is...”Her words were cut off when I slapped her hard across the face.“I can take anything from you but don’t you ever call me a whore. I’m not like you
Chapter 9On getting to the church, I realized how nervous I am. I was scared to even enter the church.“Just take a chill pill. It will be fine” Tiana assured me.“I’m not scared. I am fine” I said nervously while Tiana just stared at me and squeezed my hand softly.**The door to the church opened and the bridal chorus started to play. Down the aisle I came. I held a French rose silk bouquet. My dad held my left arm and smiled at me as we reached the bottom step.There waiting is the pastor and my husband to be. Tch! I can’t deny the fact he looked stunning but he kept a straight face.He wore a black, single-breasted,satin tuxedo with a white wing collar shirt.My dad removed his hand from mine while I stood in front of Hayden.His eyes were on me but his concentration isn’t. I scoffed and looked at the priest waiting for him to just get this over with.*“Do you Hayden take Brittany as your wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward , for better for worse, for richer,
Chapter 10I walked around the room checking everything out while Hayden was in the bathroom. “Why will he paint the room brown?” I scoffed. He doesn’t have taste at all.Few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom wearing a singlet and a short.I walked past him and went to the bathroom. I was wowed when I entered the bathroom. I removed my clothes and got under the shower. When I was done, I took the blue towel on the hanger and wrapped it round my body. I went into the closet.My clothes was arranged already at the right while his were at the left. He scoffed. He has lots of suits and tuxedos.“Such a boring man” I huffed and was about to take my pajamas when my eyes widened.I am going to be sleeping in the same room with Hayden. Wearing my pajamas is really dangerous.I took a white turtle neck and blue jeans and wore it. I smiled satisfactory and left the closet and entered the room.Hayden was on the bed operating his laptop. Does this guy have respect at all.Working on ou
