Chapter 2 ♡

The universe is fucking playing games with me right now!

Him ! I'm marrying him ? Someone shoot a gun through my head. "You know each other ?", my mother asked.

I could've been imagining my own things but I saw a smug smirk on that pretty face of his.

"Yes, he fucking hit my car". I spoke not being able to remove my eyes on him. "Nice to meet you too", he spoke in a velvety rich voice. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when he swept his gaze all over my body. I shifted uncomfortable in his stare, something about it made me tremble.

"Be nice Alora ofcourse he didn't hit your car on purpose",my father said with a scowl on his face.

"Have a seat Mr. Morretti", my mother said as she pushed back a chair for him. He seemed unfazed by our prompt marriage. It's like it didn't even bother him at all.

While I on the other hand was scared shitless. "You'll be engaged I a few weeks time and marriagewill follow right afterwards", my father said in a monotone voice.

Why would I marry him ? I don't know him ? Why him ? I don't love him let alone like !

This wasn't how I pictured my life. I could feel blood draining from my face, the room fell silent it's like my mind shut everyone out.

I could hear my father's voice but I couldn't make out what he was saying, I felt as if the walls around the house were closing in on me.

I was the perfect daughter since birth , walked on time , got perfect grades, went to an Ivy league University. I was a princess in my parents eyes ! I never did drugs, never partied but why were they selling me out like this ?

I've never disappointed them and why would I start now. I did what no normal person could do and made up my mind I'll marry him. I've never done anything wrong or objected my parents that was my sisters job !

"So honey you'll move into his house after the engagement", my father said with a sweet smile. I wanted to smile but I couldn't. Every muscle in my body went taut.

"Sure", I said picking my phone to see Roman on the caller ID. What did he want !

I rose up from my seat and headed for the balcony to answer my phone.

As I went to answer my phone he hung up . He's calling then hanging up ? What's his deal. I couldn't help it but feel sorry myself. The wind felt great on my skin, the night was still young. The stars looking so majestically like a drawing painted across the skies.

If someone told me this was going to be my life two months ago I'd laugh straight to their face. But now the jokes on me . I took a slow deep breath as I heard the murmurs of the town. I felt a presence behind but I didn't even bother turning.

"So it was you mia cara", Mr. Morretti said as he adjusted his suit beside me. "Me what !", I asked cocking my eyebrows at him. "Who's gonna be my future wife", he said with a smug smile.

"Look Mr. Morretti I'm not in the mood of whatever you're planning on doing here", I said and turned to leave. "See princess, I'm not interested in you , not even the slightest bit",he said as he grabbed my waist and put me in place.

"Why don't you just let me go then, tell them you don't want me", I said . My voice hitched and got stuck in my throat.

Upclose this man was majestic, his jaw was sharp like he could slice me in half ! His eyes were a deep wave of blue piercing like he was staring into my soul . He smelled of sandalwood and cinnamon, I wanted to tilt my head get a better wisp of his sweet smell.

And I did what an idiot could I do , I leaned in . I shouldn't be doing this but I wanted to .

He quickly tilted his head and unimaginably our lips brushed, this small movement made my my leap . I felt a bolt of electricity jolt through me and wetness pooling in my panties. I wanted more. I wanted to taste him. I wan-

"You see mia cara, as much as I wanted to throw this marriage I'm bound to it just as you are". He said as he moved my lingering hair behind my ear. It was a slight movement but it had my heart racing. "And my name is Laurie for you ", he turned and walked away.

I wanted that warmth back, the feel of his hands on my waist. His full lips against my neck ! I would kill to feel that again.
