By Ella Roma
Date: June 4, 2022
Ch. 2First meeting with the groom


I turned around and as she was about to slip, she held my hand and dragged me along with her as we both fell on top of the bed
She looked at me in awe and i smirk.
She's just like any typical girl, always falling for me because of my looks.
But suddenly her eyes started glaring at me with anger and she shouted
"Get the fuck away from me!"
Wait what? I thought she was busy daydreaming about me just now.
She pushes me away as i straighten myself
"You're the one who's in my room, you were the one who fell on my bed and you have the guts to shout at me"
"Yes I'll shout at you,who the fuck are you?" She said
"What? Just get out of my room"
"Don't tell me get out, I'll leave anyway and fuck this room!" She said and she uses her heel to hit the bed as she whimpers and left
She's such an insolent human.

I was at first Mesmerized by his beauty... I mean like i was screaming in my head why isn't this face in a magazine or something!
But then i realized this man is still putting his weight over my body and i became angry... I pushed him away and we argued a bit
I hit my leg on his bed furniture out of anger and that really hurt.
I went downstairs to the living room and i saw my mom stood up
"Honey... where have you been?"
I hate it when she calls me all these sweet names.
"There was a little holdup over there but it's fine now"
"Oh dear it was nice having you at our place and am sorry you didn't get to meet our son, he just came in and went to his room" Mrs Tyler said
Their son? His room? Wait...
"Mom I..." I heard a familiar voice say and as i turn around i gasped..
OMG!! Mr rude hottie is her son! That means his.. he's the one i'm supposed to marry...
That means he is the ARNOLD TYLER!
I thought he's in his 30s then why does he look so darn good?
"Oh son please come here"
He walked downstairs while staring at me and it looked as if he was also confused
"Son meet Rina, Rina meet my son Arnold..your soon to be husband"Mrs Tyler said
Me and Arnold looked at each other and we exchanged looks of shock
Am I... really gonna marry him! Like no this is a nightmare.
"I'm glad you've both met each other now so which means the marriage has being finalized.. they will get engaged in the next two days" Mr Tyler finally spoke
In the next two days!! Is he freaking serious?
"It's an honor to finally become family with you... We'll get going now"mom said as she held my hand and we both walked out of the house.
I feel like my life is about to change very soon.

"Ari why is life so cruel?"Rina cried while laying on her best friend's lap
"It's okay Rina... He might not be that bad" Ariana said trying to cheer her up
"Might? Noo he's dangerous, dangerously handsome... I don't want to marry him, I'm not ready for marriage...I want to live my youthful life to the fullest" Rina said
"I Know i know Rina...am sorry about that but sometimes life puts us in a hard situation" Ariana said as she hugs her friend
"Life? This is not life fault at all, it's all because of my fucking mother!" Rina said
"Rina! It's not cool to say that about your mother" Ariana said
"It's because you're not her daughter.. she has never being around when i was still a teen and now that am so used to her uncaring nature, she then decides to arrange my marriage without my permission and the engagement is just tomorrow" Rina said
"Rina...I don't know what to say about this but if i was in your situation, I'm sure i would not have being this strong as you are now" Ariana said
"I hate my life!" Rina screams
"What are we gonna do about daryn" Ariana said
Rina raises her head from Ariana's lap and stare at her in shock, she then starts crying more and hugs Ariana again
"I don't know... he's the first person i've actually truly loved and now.." Rina says amidst tears as her eyes well up
"It's okay... it's gonna be alright.. we'll find a way, I promise... it's all gonna be alright" Ariana said as she tries to calm Rina down..

Am sitting down with different people arranging my makeup and hair.. today is my engagement party and yet it seems as if i'm mourning for the loss of a dear one.
I never thought that my wedding is ever going to be like this..
"Wow miss you're looking so beautiful" The make up artist said as i stare at myself in the mirror
Indeed i am beautiful, but am not getting all dolled up for the right person. I don't even feel happy about this marriage not to talk of my appearance
This is a disaster!

"What the hell! Am not going through with this engagement" I said as i raged
"Please calm down Arnold! You can't do anything about it... Everyone is already downstairs waiting to see a perfect engagement and you're just gonna back out.. Have you forgotten that you're quite popular globally and billions of people will be watching your engagement party" Stevenson said trying to make me see reason.
I know he's right but i can't just imagine myself getting married to a total stranger! The only thing i know about her is that she's insolent and rude and quite young.
"Friend, am sorry but you'll have to go through with this marriage... And we have to go downstairs now or else people will start asking questions" Stevenson said.
He raised me up from my seat as he arranged my red suit and held my hand as we both walked downstairs to the party.
