CHAPTER 1: YOU

NAOMI

Never in my life, had I thought my father could do this to me.

Yes, I know he is an arrogant, self-centered, money-minded person but he cannot just ask me to

marry anyone he wants!

He never cared about my feelings or my opinion so today can’t be any different. So my father invited my so-called would-be husband to meet me and finalize everything. As I said my opinion never mattered even the most important decisions were in his hands. It's not like I am scared of him, I am more terrified of what he could do to my mum. I often asked my mum to leave him but for some reason, she couldn’t and now I am helpless.

I am frustrated and least interested to get married but my father has already considered HIM As my husband!

I am 27 for God's sake!!!, I don’t even know his name and haven’t seen any picture of him. My father is not going to disclose his name either because he knows what I can do with it

*insert evil smile*

According to my father, he is the best suitor for me, he is rich and smart and famous, and what else does a girl want right? As if I care about his money bahaha, I am happy with what I earn. I neither need his money nor his fame or his rich asshole presence around me.

I am now sitting with my parents waiting for my Prince Charming.

“Please behave like a decent girl for once, please Don’t disappoint me and embarrass me in front of him,” My father told me and I glared at my mother. Why does she never take sides with me??? For how long she will tolerate this…

I worked my ass off to reach the place where I am now, I am a lawyer, and I earn enough to meet everyone’s requirements but still, he is disappointed.

And I guess whatever I do he will always remain disappointed.

Indeed, I am not happy to get married. I am not too fond of the concept of marriage and I can give thousands of reasons why. But it is also true that I want to go away from this family, I want to experience warmth and love for once, or at least I want my SPACE my happy Space.

If I have to marry someone to stay away from this family, I am okay with it too.

I want to go to a place where people will praise or respect me.

This place suffocates me!!!

I hate this arranged marriage because I don’t know who the person is, I don’t even know whether he is nice or not, and to be honest the real reason is because my father likes him.

I don’t think I will fall in love so easily, but I will try to make it work if it’s worth it.

If you think I am crazy or bipolar, sorry to say I am not. It’s a mixed emotion I am currently

feeling...and it makes me feel sick. My friends say I am too kind for this world and I now believe I am. I can’t love that person but I cannot hurt him also.

Maybe we can be friends!!

Thousands of thoughts running through my mind, I might faint now. I cannot back out or cancel

this marriage….

Bu- “Mr Geller, he is here. “ One of the guards informed.

I was looking down completely uninterested, let my father talk to him, let him marry this Mr Rich.

“My child look who is here” My god what happens to his voice? My god this man can pretend so

much… Yuck!!! My father is an opportunist he knows where to be stern and where to be sweet.

I reluctantly looked up, and the first thing I saw was a pressed business suit. It isn’t a business meeting or is it considering the arrangement? He is tall and he has a well-built body, his suit hugging his body is a sign of what is he packing inside that shirt. He is wearing expensive shoes and watches. It only speaks RICH!!.

No doubt because my father liked him…

I heard an irritated scoff and that made me look directly into his eyes…

Oh my God!!! The only thing I can say after I saw my would-be husband!!

It’s none other than Mr Nicholas Dawson!! The famous businessman. To be precise Mr Arrogant ruthless businessman. Everyone knows him and a few of my friends work under him. They told me how intimidating he was. And not to forget he is famous for his scandals…

 He is a player, who only loves money and women.

Why God Why!!! Why him???

My father is sick otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed his only daughter to get married to someone like him. Everyone knows he didn’t want marriage he hated marriage.

In last year’s interview, he told one of the interviewers of how much he hates marriage and the only thing he loves is his dad and his company. And then that night a photo of him and a model went viral.

So why is he suddenly in my house to talk about marriage?

Did he hit his head somewhere?  Does he have any venereal disease, Oh god no Is he dying or something?

But why me? Why me when he could get anyone else? What benefit he will get out of this marriage? 

Definitely hit his head somewhere. As if he could read my mind he narrowed his eyes at me annoyed and a bit shocked. I don’t know why my would-be husband also looked shocked. Does he know me?? Nah that’s not possible… No one knows me. I indeed know some of his employees but we never met…

Suddenly our eyes locked and he sighed in disappointment ..

I am the one who should be disappointed

Hello!!!! Mr. I am also not willing to marry you either, and I hope you reject me because I cannot.
