"Ms Grey", Mr Tyrone called my name.

I looked up at the old man, who still looks old just like 7 years ago. Sometimes it feels like time has stopped for him from the last time I saw him. He is one of the oldest person working for the Grey family for last 25years. He's in his late 40s with grey hair and Wrinkles. He looks tried. He never got married so, he always treats me as one.

Today I have an occasion to attend and that is my sister's third marriage. Jean is very beautiful and a famous chief with a branch of ristorantes under her. She has been always centred of attraction, because of her positive attitude. She is so beautiful that all men around her longed for her and she used to enjoy it.

Her first husband was John who was her not only a best friend but also her best friend. They were happily living until he was discovered with cancer and then died. That broke her. The only thing that kept her from moving on was their daughter.

The only thing that reminds or his living memory is Angle. The angle is only 3years old but is way too much smarter than other children of her age group. Because I and Jean resemble a bit Angel mostly gets confused and calls me mom to which I don't mind but people find it wired.

Jean's second husband was Jay who was the best friend of John and Jean. They used to date before John and Jean became a thing but broke up after some trust issues. After John's death, Jean was torn and broken that's when Jay came back into the picture and then out of the blue they got married.

Everything was again going well when suddenly one day they got divorced. After that Jean again started to drink and party a lot. None of us knows the real reason for their break up but looks it was way too much serious matter. But do you know what's more off-the-burner news, its that they are back to "Best Friends" and Jay is attending today's wedding, even though they still have strings attached clearly.

They are like those couples where Jean is common-law-wife of Jay and Jay still acts like her husband.

And now in present, she is marring some businessman who looks like the father of her and moreover it, it's all done to piss off Jay.

Also, not everyone is not happy about this marriage like Will, my childhood best friend. Either way, it does not matter he is gone for a business trip leaving me here to get bored.

14 hours before the wedding...

It's typical Friday movie night with Will in which we always spend time together, even if we are busy we still try. It's been a seen ritual since 3rd grade, but thats when he got a call from office for some work issue.

I stare at him as he walked back and forth in the room.

He looks anxious and stressed. He was shouting on the phone.

I walked to him, but he sees to be distracted when I ask what happened while still talking over the phone. Finally, when he was done with phone he remembers I still existed in this world.

"So, are you planning to tell me what happened....? Or let me guess", "I am sorry, but I need to go", "or it is for your own good", "it's too protect you", I say those harsh words knowing that all he wants is good for me, but I am tired, tired of being controlled, monitored, of something I am not or been kept in dark for parts a year now.

He stares at me. "I am sorry, it just came out you know about", I apologize him which I was doing frequently nowadays as if the universe is against me.

"K, listen. Yeah, I need to go for some company work but you are going to attend the wedding", he says with his serious face which tells me its an order, not a request.

I make faces while he takes his coat and puts on his shoes.

Will said that he would update me about the situation in his way.

Once he was gone I stare at the clock. Its only 10pm right now. To early to go bed.

So, after a while I went to a small walk towards the coffee shop down the street.

But somehow something did not feel right. I felt as if someone was following or watching me. So I started to rush towards my home but how could someone like me run fast who hasn't even run in a small race.

I felt suddenly a tight grip on my waist and mouth. I don't even remember closing my eyes as I started kicking and punching also screaming at the same time. But all went in vain when suddenly I started to feel dizzy and chill.

Then all went black.
