Prologue

"Maddison! Did you hear the news that they are looking for a wife for Zachariah Cosmian, the son of the famous CEO? In return they will give you a large amount of money!" I heard my mother and her friend whisper in front of the window of our house. I can't see what they’re doing but it's good and I can hear them talking.

"Really?" My mother asked incredulously.

"Yes! Why don't you marry your daughter Kimora to Zachariah? Kimora is beautiful so it's unlikely that His Dad and Zachariah will like her! It's a lot of money in return, Maddison! You can pay your debts!"

Get married? Me? I'm only 19 years old and why does my mother's friend say that! Is she so thirsty for money? I know that my mother will not trade me for that fucking money!

“I'll think about it.” I was surprised by what mother said. She'll think about that? Is what I heard correct? Mother wondered if she would marry me to that Zachariah? I don't even know that man! Even if his father CEO is famous, I still won't marry the person I don't love! I'm ready to die just don't marry that man!

Mother's friend left so I also left in front of the window. I had to stop Mother’s plan to marry me to that man! What if that man tortured me? What if he doesn't consider me his wife? What will I do?!

I peeked through the doorway where mother was sitting. She was stunned and seemed to be thinking far away. I approached her and saw the shock in her eyes.

“What's the matter, Mom? You seem to be thinking of something.”

She took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes. She held my two hands and for some unknown reason she just cried.

“What's the problem? Is something hurting you Mom?” I asked worriedly.

She shake her head and hugged me.

“Sweetie, forgive me, okay? She silently crying. While me, did not know why she was crying.

“Forgive where?” She just looked at me and didn’t answer my question. Where can I forgive her, she has not done anything wrong to me. All my life she has given me love.

"Forgive me, Kimora! Forgive me..."

"What is going on with you Mom? Why are you apologizing to me? And why are you crying?"

"Just forgive me, Kimora." After she said that she left the house, so I was left dumbfounded. What is Mom crying about? Earlier she was dumbfounded, and now she cried and left. I just let her go and went straight to my mom's bed to sleep. Mom and I sleep next to each other because we are not that rich. We are just poor so we have a lot of debt.

Even my ex -boyfriend left me because even their family owes us a debt that is still unpaid until now.

"K-kimora." I opened my eyes because of Mom's voice. He was dressed formally and when I got up I saw a suitcase and two large bags on the side. Are we leaving here at home?

"Why are our things packed, Mom? "

"Clean your body and get ready, we're going somewhere." Are we leaving? Where are we going?

I just followed Mom's orders and when I finished bathing and getting dressed I looked in the mirror. There is no denying that I am still beautiful no matter what clothes I wear. I'm just wearing sweater with mini skirt and I tucked my sweater in my Skirt. I also have long and curly ends of my hair. Long lashes and deep dimples on my cheek. Brown eyes and Blond hair. Mom's friends say I'm looks like Mom, And Mom is so damn pretty.

"Are you ready sweetie?" Mom asked. I nodded.

I was surprised because there was a car parked outside our house. Whose car is this?

A bodyguard greeted us. "Good day, Miss Kimora! Get in the car and we will leave." Mom got in too so the car started. I wanted to ask Mom but I was afraid that she might answer differently. I could see large buildings and trees as we traveled. This is what the City looks like.

It took us two hours to drive and when we arrived a Large and luxury house opened up to me. The place is familiar and if I'm not mistaken this is Mr. Cosmian's house. Wait, what?!

"So what are we doing here, Mom?" I said out loud that it was just right for her to hear.

She could no longer speak because a man in a tuxedo walked in front of us . His age is aboutMid 30's. I think he was Mr. Cosmian. He was followed by a tall and handsome man. He has a muscular body and he has a Greek God face! My god, get me pregnant!

Mama coughed softly so she grabbed our attention. "Good day Mr. Cosmian! This is my daughter, Kimora Galvez." Mom gave Mr.Cosmian a geuine smile.

"Oh so you are Kimora, you are pretty! I think you and Zach are suitable for each other. Oh by the way, This is Zachariah Cosmian, My son." When I looked at zach he frowned and looked at me from head to toe. At the same time, he rolled his eyes on me.

"Tsk." Zach uttered.

"Mom, why are we here?" I asked again to change the topic. This is Awkward!

"Uhm, haven't you told Kimora yet?" Mr. Cosmian asked. Mom faked a laugh to eliminate the awkwardness between us.

"I wish I could have told her earlier, but it would have been better if it was a surprise." Mr. Cosmian just nodded.

“So, Why are we here Mom? I've been asking you over and over before. But you don't answer me and you change the topic." I'm going to die wondering why we're here at the house of the famous CEO. I'm also disgusted on Zach's face! it was as if he was killing me and judging me in his mind.

"You're getting married."

"What? Are you damn kidding me, Mom?!" I exploded in annoyance because of what Mom said. I'm getting married? Why did Mom do this to me? will she use me to pay our debts?

"Why did you do this to me Mom? All my life I've been good to you and then you'll be blinded by money?! Is it because we don't have any more money that you will sell me? Why would we come to this Mom? Why?!" I shouted at her. All this time so she's apologizing to me because she's going to sell me?!

"I-im sorry s-sweetie...." I shooked my head. I can't do this. She will marry me to the person I don't love.

"I hope you just killed me." I said coldly. She raised her head and slapped me. My cheek went numb from the force of her slap.

"How can you say that to your own mother? I worked hard to raise you and for you to survive and then you insulted me?!" She pressed two fingers to my forehead.

"That's why I said you just killed me! Are you stupid to exchange me for that fucking money?!" I was sitting on the floor crying so much. While Mr.Cosmian was holding my arm trying to calm me down.

"Forgive me sweetie, forgive me." After that she walked away.

"All right,If you step forward again, I won't consider you a mother anymore."
