Isabella
I woke up on the floor, i guess i just fell asleep after crying my eye out.
Isabella the Crawford's are arriving soon i heard my mom say from the other end of the door.
I just sighed in response
I went into my bathroom to take a quick shower, i really need to be a baker and now my father is trying his very best to ruin my life.
I stepped out of the bathroom to look for dresses that would make me hideous.
Usually am a hot dresser and i dress sassy buh not tonight
I wore a jean trouser then a mid thigh skirt on it, then I wore a shirt on it, i also picked a singlet and wore it on the shirt. I added a nerd glass.
I smiled at my self comfortably
I roughen my hair a little, perfect now i look like a mad woman
I stepped outside my room door with two different shoe legs and headed downstairs
I could hear voices, the Crawford's are definitely here
Good evening everyone, i greeted.
My dad sent me a death glare instantly followed by
What the heck are you wearing Darcy? He asked in a threatening tone.
I shrugged... Clothes I replied nonchalantly.
Pie!! i squealed as i dug into the pie on the table like an animal, everyone looked disgusted especially the arrogant lucas and that's exactly what i wanted.
I noticed a woman smiling at me.. Gosh i really need you to hate me woman... I thought in my mind.
Isn't she just wonderful, i heard her say suddenly.
My eye widened in shock.
She didn't just say that did she?
yeah she's amazing mom, i would marry her... I heard Lucas speak for the first time.
Oh my goodness this boy is an idiot.. I just want to slap him
Good evening family... I heard my sisters voice
Oh my goodness Darcy, did dad do something again and you decided to make him pay by ruining his dinner or you are actually running mad!!! She exclaimed.
I sighed defeated
Just shut up Aria, i will go get dressed and follow you now... I replied.
Sorry about this Mr and Mrs Crawford, i apologized as i headed back to my room.
Irritating them isn't going to work, but i need to get out of this marriage one way or the other.
I took another quick shower and changed into ripped high waist blue jeans and a transparent black top. I added a pair of black boot heels.
I wore my accessories and used my contact lenses, my eyes are naturally green so i use contact lenses sometimes because they draws attention.
I stepped downstairs and met everyone having dinner.
You look amazing dear, Mrs Crawford commented
Thanks ma'am, i muttered
Mr and Mrs Crawford , i apologize because i have to leave now with my sister to do some baby shopping.
The baby shopping can wait... Dad said in a command tone
With all due respect dad, this marriage is for you, it's your business deal so finalize it, i don't need to be here.. I replied dragging Aria out and planting a kiss on mom's cheeks.
Am sorry honey, she muttered and i smiled at her
I know you are hurt little sis but dad might have his reasons... Aria said as we got into the car
What other reason than me wanting to be a baker, i said as i drove off..
Mr McKenzie
Am sorry about Isabella.. I apologize to the Crawford's
It's okay peter, i understand her.. I also have a daughter remember , James said and we laughed
Well since lucas already agreed to marry her we should set the engagement date.. Vivian his wife said
Yeah what do you think Anna? I asked my wife
I know this is for her own good but it just hurts to see my daughter like this, have never seen her this sad. I know you have a nice family but i won't be a party to this, Anna replied standing up
I will go talk to her Vivian said as she followed suit
Don't worry peter all will be well, James said as we continued eating
Lucas already stood up earlier to receive a call.
Anna(Isabella's Mom)
I don't know what as gotten into peter all of a sudden, this is not the way to do things. I thought
We have been friends for 8years now Anna, is my family bad that you can't get your daughter married to my son? Vivian voice asked from behind.
Of course not, but I can't bear to see my daughter this sad and why exactly would peter make this kind of decision so fast and harshly for that matter? I asked
Well he is in a best position to answer that but I promise your daughter is safe and she will always be happy.. Vivian replied hugging me
I guess she is right, Bella hasn't really been into guys either so maybe this is her chance in love... I thought
We both disengaged from the hug
Let's head back to the table.. I said
We both walked back to the rest of the family
Soon dinner was over and we talked for a while before they decided to leave.
Peter we need to talk!! I said Immediately they left
I know you want answers and I will give them to you.. He replied pouring himself a drink
What else do you want to say peter? I mean what else can you even say?... I shouted
You don't want her to be a professional baker because of what people can say, you want her to take over your compare. For God sake just let her be!!! I added
Yes I want Bella to take over the company, I don't want her to be a Baker, I want her to live like a princess that she is Anna and I don't want to force her to get married either.
Anna
But Marcos son Tecca wants to get married to our Bella, our Isabella honey, we did a business together and he saw her picture on my office table.
Anna he is a mafia boss and our daughter's life can be in danger, The only way she can be safe is by getting married to Lucas since the Crawford's are Mafia Royalties
It's either Tecca or Lucas... He concluded
I felt my mouth wide open,.
There is no way my daughter is getting married to Tecca, that beast as gotten married thrice and he killed all three of his wives by himself!!! I shouted
That's why I had to go for Lucas, Peter Added
Why my baby girl, I thought sobbing
I guess Lucas is for the best then, I said as I headed up to my room
This is just too much, but the Darcy I know would surely do something stupid to stop this wedding
Isabella
Good morning mom, I said as I kiss her cheeks
I totally ignored Dad
Vivian is coming over, we will be going to pick your wedding gown, your wedding is on Saturday.. Mom said.
What!!!! I exclaimed
Even you ,mom? I added in shock
Yes young lady, so finish up , she would be here soon.. Mom said
Well since you guys are more interested, pick any dress of your choice and let's just get this done with but as for me am not interested.. I said as I stood up from the table leaving my food untouched
I got into my car and drove to my bestfriends apartment
You look really angry now Ella, Lilly said as she opened the door
My wedding is on Saturday, Get me a ticket to Italy for Friday night and not a word of this to anyone.
I have a secret account where I stash money that should last me for a while at Italy.. I said in a rush
Chill girl am not sure Italy is a good idea you need somewhere remote girl, like that island you discovered the other time that's perfect... She said
I hugged her real tight, you are the best... I squealed
Well I would get my speedboat and stuck the house there with supplies that can last you till everything dies down.. She added
Thanks lilly, you are the best I replied hugging her tight.
We talked and planned for a while before I headed back home, I just need to sneak out of the house on Friday night and boom am gone.
Friday night
Honey this is the best for you.. My mom said for the 10th time
I want to sleep mom, you all are going to ruin my life tomorrow at least let me get some rest, I said
Goodnight honey, she replied as she left my room
About an hour later
I got down from the balcony of my room with a rope, I passed the back and jumped down the fence. I scrolled a little then I sighted Lilly's car.
I got into the car and she drove off to the sea, I got into her speed boat as I gave her on last hug as I drove off.
Am finally free, Free from the useless marriage or so I thought.
McKenzie mansion
There is commotion everywhere...
I can't find Bella, I can't find my daughter.. Anna lamented crying
Vivian was by her side trying to console her, maybe we should have just told her the truth about this marriage..
We are going to find her Ma'am, Lucas said
He couldn't believe the girl could be this stupid
Does she have any friend? Lucas asked.
Yes but I went over and she's not there. Aria replied
If Tecca finds her then all hell will break loose... Peter said making Vivian cry the more
Lilly ran inside... Ella... Bella.... Isabella.... kidnapped... she completed catching her breath
Isabella as been kidnapped? How? Vivian asked in fear
She was supposed to run away to an island we both found till everyone stop the thing about getting married but she suddenly pressed the distress code 30minutes later and the speed boat was found back at the shore... She concluded
Tecca, Lucas said sighing
There is no way we can find her now, Tecca base as never been found out.. James(lucas father) said.
Am going to bring your daughter back alive ... Lucas said as he got out of the house.
Lucas!!!! Lilly called out.
She as a tracker attached to her bra.. She said.
Really? Lucas asked in disbelief.
Yes she started doing that since she turned 16... Aria replied.
So she isn't that foolish , Lucas thought.
Ok then let's go track her down, Lucas said as he left with them.
He is sure going to make her life a living hell when he finds her.
Isabella
How I got kidnapped I don't understand , all I remember is pressing the distress code and here I am tied to a chair.
Oh sleeping beauty is awake, a good looking guy said disturbing my thought.
Though I think Lucas is hotter, come on Isabella not now.
Who are you? I asked.
Am your husband darling and we are getting married Tonight, he replied.
What's up with everyone and marriage are they all under a spell or something.
I can't marry you dumb ass... I cursed struggling to get free.
Feisty, wow I like that.. He replied.
I will get some people to have you prepared for our wedding darling.. He said and with that he left the room.
Wow I ran from one marriage only to jump right into another.
What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into?
I should just have quietly married Lucas at least he is hotter.. I thought .
Come on Bella not now, I thought again.
Not now, you still have to find a way to get out of this hell and not jump into another hell girl.. I said to myself.
Isabella, you are so much in trouble... I said again sighing
Isabella
Stay calm Lucas is on his way the first woman said, I looked at her
I wanted to say her name but she gave me a don't you dare look.
I looked at the other woman and recognized her also, but I acted like I don't know.
Who are you and what do you want? I shouted
Boss asked us to get you dressed for the wedding ma'am. The first lady said
would you like a long wedding dress or a short one.. The other asked
I didn't reply
Don't worry ma'am I know just what would fit you the first lady said bringing out a short white dress
Swears if I was really happy with all this situation I would have squealed
They took me to the bathroom where I cleaned my self
I wore the dress, it's a armless short gown that stops on my mid thigh then a transparent white net was clipped on it by the first lady from my waist.
I would have been perfect if I really wasn't in this situation.
They made my hair and did my makeup, not that I care though
This isn't how I wanted my life to turn out, different arranged marriages, disaster and all.
Tears slipped down my eye, I don't want this life anymore.
I have made up my mind already, no matter who i get married to today, am definitely going to kill myself that way everyone would be happy.
A guard suddenly rushed in
Boss said you should keep her in, he said and with that he rushed out.
All I could hear after that was gunshots, I just wish I could run out and get hit by one.
All would be well I heard both of them try to calm me.
Aria, you not meant to be here, especially in your condition... I finally spoke
It's okay sis, don't worry.. She replied
I looked at my bestfriend and gave her a faint smile.
Soon the door burst open revealing Lucas
it's over, let's go... He said and with that we all headed out.
Tecca managed to escape... He finally voiced out as he drove.
Tecca, so that was his name, i thought.
Few hours later, we all arrived home.
Oh my baby!! Mom said rushing towards me.
I stared at her blankly, I saw my dad and Lucas parents.
I walked pass them and headed up but i was stopped by Lucas.
The priest is here, we are getting married now.. I heard his voice
Oh sweet goddess, why is my life like this.
I stepped down and saw the priest with some signing document.
I took a pen and signed on the marriage certificate, we don't need to saw vows this is nothing between us than a contract. I said
I turned to go up but he dragged me back, contract or not, we are married now and married couples live together isn't it? He asked
I sighed.. At least let me pack my things darling little husband... I scoffed
Come help me pack my things Lilly .. I added while racing up the stairs
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Dumb goat... I lamented pacing around as I stuff my bags with cloth.
Chill baby girl, Lilly said and I glared at her.
Don't even start, you all just ruined my plans of killing myself and stopping this nonsense once and for all... I shouted.
You thought of what? i heard Aria voice ask from behind.
You heard me right, I replied.
Lucas isn't that bad you know, stop looking at things from your angle and try living your life now... Lilly said.
With who? A man I don't even know? A man that I never dreamt of marrying? What happens to my dream of becoming a professional baker?... I asked
rendering them speechless.
I thought as much, you have nothing to say... I said as i pulled off my dress and headed to the bathroom.
Lucas
Stupid bitch!!
Her mother keeps in crying and she doesn't even give a damn... I thought.
Well, I can't wait to get her mom and hit a club.
She said this marriage is a contract, like I care anyways.
Soon I heard steps, as i saw her coming down along side her bestfriend and sister.. My guards rushed to get her bags.
Damn, I must admit she's hot but who cares.
She walked pass her parents but paused a little, I guess you are happy now? One torn away from your flesh isn't it? She asked
Her father tried speaking, but she cut him off.
I don't want to hear anything, from this day onward don't even cry about my death.. She said bluntly and strolled pass me.
She got to the door and paused... Mr husband are you coming or you want to sleep at your in laws house? She asked
My mom gave me a calm down look and I nodded then followed her out.
We got into the car and I drove to my mansion with my aids behind.
39minutes later
We got to my mansion and I stepped out of the car, leaving her in it and headed inside.
I heard her get down as she slammed the door and followed suit.
I asked the guards to take her things to a room beside mine which they did and headed to their own mini mansion build outside mine.
She turned to go up but I dragged her back and chock her
One, don't you dare speak to me rudely
Two, don't you dare slam my door again
Three, avoid me
If you flaunt any of this orders, I would make your life miserable... I said as I released my grip and shoved her to the floor.
Don't you dare, I repeat don't you dare, I said as I headed up to my room leaving her on the floor.
Stupid bastard, I heard her murmur but who cares.
That idiot is biting more than she can chew and am going to make life a living hell for her.
