CHAPTER 7:

"It is time "she thought as a real sense of fore brooding came over her. 'Time to fulfill your duties as a dutiful wife' she thought.

He sat on their king-sized bed and stared into her gorgeous emerald eyes. 'she's really beautiful 'he thought .he was happy for having such a beautiful tantalizing body before him .

At least he was supposed to be.

As he approached her slowly,her face was a stoic mask though she shuddered with fear.she had no idea what to do

He reached for....,

"A pillow "

Seriously !

Sue woke up with a start, beads of sweat rolling down her face .it was just a horrible nightmare,but despite that fact ,she made a decision right there and then that she will never marry Damien Thorne not because he was bad,he was in fact nice ,maybe even cute but NO she was going to change her fate no matter the cost,not to be given off to him like some sort of prize. Meanwhile downstairs ,Mr Nicholas was reading a sports magazine when his phone rang which he picked up almost immediately .

"Uh huh ,yes, tomorrow .....Don't worry I will inform her, thank you." he muttered

He set his phone down. He wondered how his little girl will take It .

"Daddy l'm home "from school anyone ?"

Naturally ,he would've welcomed her heartily but there was a chilling silence that hovered around the house .

she walked slowly to the sitting room to the position her father was.

when her father saw her,his heartbeat increased . he didn't want to tell her but he still did .almost sorrowfully, he dropped the bombshell .Sue gasped as she ran to her room and began to cry.She was getting married in the next two days "Damn it, Damn you , all of you!" ".

Due to a unforseen complication ,her ' supposed' wedding was two days away. She racked her brain for an answer .she even googled it.stupid but she had to try

She thought of saying' I do not ' as an answer to her vows, but the priest may not even care.besides it didn't matter even if he did. Just another pawn .she could try to run away but her parents were popular not to talk of the Thornes .Everyone knew her ,one of the many curses of being a celebrity.

She knew she was going too far but in this case she was allowed to reach extremities .

When she got to school ,she immediately told miss Carla. she had become her confidante. she also told her about that recent turn of events .miss Carla asked her "Have you tried asking them the easy way? "

"um...no "

"so try it."

"After school, Sue drew aside Taylor and told her everything.She could have understood if she turned and ran and never looked back, possibly because of the lies but instead she sympathized with her .She gave Sue her mom 's number in case she ever needed help.

"She lives in lowa .I'm here staying with my aunt .just call if you need anything she 's a social worker and will definitely understand ."

"Thanks Tay"

"That what friends are for , right?"she said as she hugged Sue .

"God please find a way to help her "Taylor prayed inwardly.

Back home she summoned the courage to talk to her father .

She asked feebly"Do I have to marry Damien?" Nicholas took a long look at his little girl in awe.He knew she was a teenager that needed convincing.he didn't have to say anything rash "yes, now go to your room "

"But ....."

I said ,GO TO YOUR ROOM!"he said with a tone of finality.

"you're ruining my life !".she yelled as scalding tears fell from her eyes. It was hopeless now.she didn't have a choice .
