Chapter 2 We cannot choose our parents.

I arrived at the location in no time. It was a a restaurant famous for its extraordinary dishes that attracted tourists from many places.the restaurant was decorated in morden way which can also make you feel at ease. I was directed to an available table by a waitress in no time and i ordered juice only indicating that I'm still waiting for someone and i will order later,the waitress was kind and patient so she smiled and told me to call for her if i need anything.

In no time i saw Maryse walk in to the building occasionally glancing here and there probably looking for me so i raised my hand and she finally noticed me. She walked over to the table in a graceful manner , it doesn't help that she has that hourglass figure that most women would die for, God knows i tried to pursue her to try modeling but she does not like being in the spotlight which is rather amusing or absurd for a daughter of a billionaire but either way i respect her decision it's not really easy to avoid paparazzi and I'm speaking from experience.

"What's the matter Victoria?"she asked, well i should have expected that since she has always been a straightforward person and i appreciate that. I told her of all the events that took place."those self centered hypocrites, i always knew that our parents would do anything for money but this time they have gone too far. What do you plan on doing? She asked afterr expressing her opinion on the matter.

"I really do not know, ever since i was young they always made decisions for me and i tried to understand that they were doing it with my best interest at heart but this alliance I'm not sure. I don't want to be a stepping stone for my parents just so they could have more piece of pie,i don't want to be a tool Maryse" i finally felt a little better after getting that off my chest

" so you plan on rejection the proposal?" She asked. " if i want to get married i will in my own time. I don't want to feel as if i live according to some schedule arranged by someone else but deep down i know that if this is what my father want then he will do everything in his power to make sure that i go through with the wedding even if it means he has to threaten me". I replied.

" if only we could choose our parents I'm sure the both of us would not choose them again but i want you to know that i will support you in every decision you take" she tried to console me which i was grateful for.

As soon i parted ways with her i started to think about this stranger that is supposed to be my"husband" in few weeks."Is he a good person or does he place business before family like my father? Or is he just like me at this point, helpless while watching someone making decisions for his life." I could not get the answers i needed no matter what, suddenly a thought crossed my mind, i could always meet him to get my answers and make a decision from there, i can't even believe that I'm actually thinking of getting married especially to a stranger.
