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 NIGHT...
I looked at myself in the mirror as my mom made my hair.
She then did a light make up for me.
“Smile baby. You will be fine” she said but I said nothing and continued staring at my reflection.
When she was done, I left my room while my mom escorted me outside.
Nick opened the door for me while I entered. He entered the driver’s seat and drove off.
He stopped at a luxurious restaurant and I suddenly feel nervous. I should be angry not nervous.
“Be calm, be calm” I told myself.
I breathe in and out and came out of the car. My mom told me Hayden ordered a vip table so it will be easy knowing the table for our date.
I clutched my purse tightly and walked in. I got to the vip section and stopped when I saw him.
He was on his phone and didn’t notice my presence. This would be the first time I will see him physically and I took my time to observe him.
He wasn’t a male model but he should have been. The lush gold hair he groomed so carefully had a rippling quality.
I’m not sure that’s his natural hair but it looked really good on him.
My eyes moved to his Aquiline nose. It complimented his prominent cheekbones.
Handsome is an understated way. I looked at his eyes which were focused on his phone. His eyes are blue. They could shine as bright as the evening stars.
Then his lips. Oh my God!
“Hello” I heard a masculine voice which I believe is his and I looked away embarrassedly knowing I have been caught checking him out.
I slowly looked at him and his gaze was on me now. I lost my voice already and just looked at him like a dummy.
I regained my sanity and walked to the table embarrassedly.
I sat opposite him and looked at the table not having the courage to look at him.
“Get a grip of yourself Brit! You shouldn’t let him think you have interest in him” my sub conscious warned.
A waiter approaches and without saying a word pours them wine and leaves the bottle. No menus. I guess he have ordered for us in advance.
He took the wine glass and sips it. He stopped and looked at me.
“Aren’t you drinking?” He inquired and I lost my senses.
“I..don’t drink alcohol” I stuttered nervously.
He looked at me amusedly.
“It isn’t Alcohol”
“Oh yeah. I know that...I just..” I stopped talking knowing I’m speaking gibberish and picked the wine glass.
“So I will just go straight to the point. You know who I’m already so I don’t really need to introduce myself. I..”
I interrupted him. “I’m getting married to you blah blah...I know and I am not interested.” I said but he didn’t say anything but stare at me amusedly.
I continued. “I don’t like you. I don’t even know you. I’m just 18. You are way older than me. Why are you even interested in getting married to me because I don’t get. Can you please tell my parent you aren’t interested anymore?” I poured out everything.
“This is a date remember? not the time for you to rant” He said and I opened my mouth widely.
“Are you..kidding me?!” I gasped.
The waiter came back and dropped the plates of food.
He left after that.
In the order is spaghetti, salad and a bunch of other delicacies.
Spaghetti is my best food and I’m feeling the urge to dig in but I won’t.
“Let’s just have a normal conversation and get to know ourselves before we get married” he said.
“I’m not marrying you” I scoffed.
“Of course you will.”
“What’s wrong with you. You are just an egocentric...” I stopped as his next action left me flabbergasted.
He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his EarPods.
“You can decide to just keep shut and have your meal or you continue ranting while I play musics” he said and my mouth widened in shock.
“You know what, I’m leaving” I stood up. “I can’t keep up with your attitude.” I looked at him but he didn’t make any attempt to say anything.
“I’m not getting married to you and that’s final!” I deadpanned and left immediately. He didn’t even make any attempt to stop me. I looked back and saw he had continued to operate his phone. I scoffed and left the restaurant.
“Take me home, Nick” I said to nick and he nodded and opened the car for me.
*******
When I got home, I went straight into my room. I was glad my parents didn’t see me. I locked myself in my room and jumped on my bed.
“Fuck him! Fuck him! “ I muttered regretting I didn’t punch him while at the restaurant.
My phone started ringing. I checked the caller’s ID and was surprised to see it’s Ezra.
I picked. “Hey Ezra”
“You are getting married” he said and I scrunched my brows.
“Getting married? What! No!” I denied.
“Don’t you dare lie to me. It’s all over the net”
“What!” I exclaimed and ended the call immediately.
I logged into I*******m and the first post I saw was from Hayden.
He posted the picture of us at the restaurant and captioned it with “Getting married soon”
The phone fell off my hand in shock.
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
Chapter 11I looked at him unbelievably.“Better stop dreaming” “You need to wake up too because you are never getting a new room” he said and walked to the bathroom. Argh. He just love getting on my nerve. I rubbed my tummy and skipped to the dining room. I was halfway through the meal Wednesday Hayden joined me. He already had his bath. He said nothing to me and just started eating.I ignored him too. I imagined how it would have being having dinner with a guy I truly love and marry. Feeding ourselves, cracking jokes, laughter etc not with this cocky man who only knows how to work.“So unfortunate” I said rather loudly and Hayden looked at me questionably.I scoffed and continued eating.LATER THAT NIGHT.“Don’t tell you are going to sleep like this too today?” He inquired looking at my dressing not satisfied.“It really isn’t ur business” i shot at him.“Yeah It isn’t. Goodnight” he said surprising me. Why isn’t he arguing with me? Whatever. I slept beside him leaving enough sp
Chapter 12“What do you want?” I asked with a shaky voice.“Money” the voice replied.“Sure. I will give you” I opened my purse and brought out dollar bills and stretch it to him.I still can’t see him as he is at my back. He collected it and disappeared immediately while I heaved a sigh of relief.I walked more faster and in no time, I found a cab.I got home and paid the cab man. I knocked on the gate.“Who is that?” I heard the gate keeper voice.“It’s me. Open up” I said sternly and the gate opened.“Where have you been?” He asked.“And who gave you the right to question me?” I frowned at him.“Boss came back a long time ago and have been looking for you. He left a while ago to look for you”“Will you open the door for me or you will continue blabbing?” I inquired.“I’m sorry” he apologized and made me enter.I went straight to my room ignoring the guards and maids stared and went to the bathroom immediately.I took my bath and wore a blue shirt and bum short.I got back to the r
