1 Marriage approval

Fathers residency:

The hall was as tall as two floors combined with a magnificent chandelier hanging from its ceiling. The gold painted wallpapers shimmered under the light which could make any people feel awed. There were few statues placed at by those splendid walls. These were probably the work of the best artists in the world.

After walking down the huge hall, another big door appeared. The wooden door had carvings of splendid design all over. Its handle also had carvings on it giving more luxury touch.

" Antique Bronze handle." the girl with plain black hair, sharp cat eyes with plump red lips whispered, feeling the handle and taking in all its details. She loved analysing.

Instead of turning the doorknob, she lightly knocked on it.

" Is it Wish?" a raggedy voice came from inside.

" Yes." she replied. " Come in." and with that she finally turned the antique doorknob entering inside another huge room but with a darker wallpaper. This one was probably oak material.

Standing ahead were a middle-aged man with a bald head and big belly and by him was a younger lady wearing a luxurious dress with a faux fur around her thin shoulders. These people were her father and step mother.

" How have you been, honey?" her father asked puffing his cigar.

Funny how this was her first time in her own father's house. It was way more luxurious than where she lived.

" Well, we've been pretty fine ever since you left." Wish gave a straight answer.

" Oh, look at this bratty kid!" her stepmother tried to come closer with bulging eyes. She looked too skinny, her face skin so lose, Wish was afraid it might rip by just pulling.

" Stop, honey..." her father blocked before she could hit or something.

Wish felt disgusted from within when she realised her father called her AND the woman with same name.

" So you've brought your personal information right? give it."

Wish shoved the files, she was carrying in the desk. Her father went through it and stopped mid way.

" Wish Young??" he scribbled it aggressively, " how dare you use your mother's family name??" he then ripped the papers into million pieces and threw it in her face.

Wish clenched her fist tightly, " You left us....what was i supposed to use?"

Her step mother gave a sigh of disbelief, " the audacity of this brat!!"

Meanwhile her father pulled out another new paper and wrote 'Wish Lennon'. " This is what your official name should look like."

She gritted her teeth, trying to remain calm.

" wasnt it you who left your mother?" he gave an evil smile.

Wish looked at her fathers face unable to respond.

"So isnt it obvious that you STOP using your mother's family name?"

Her step mother chuckled evilly, like she had won the battle with an obvious defeat. Wish hated this moment right here. The way she wanted to punch her father and pull the woman's fake wig. But she had to endure it.

This was what she had chose.

To leave her sick sister and biological mother.

And come here to her rich father.

" I hope you researched about Mr.Brent?" her father continued, now filling all the forms of her.

" I heard he was a trouble." she replied gaining her composure.

Both of them looked at her, shocked.

Mr.Brent, the groom-to-be of Wish, was the most rich heir at the moment and every girls dream man. He had the money and face, known as the hottest millionaire in town.

" You should be thankful we even arranged the marriage with you." her step mother aggressively pointed with hands on her hips, " you are not even something special...." she slowly looked from her face to feet with disgust, " im actually worried he might reject you."

" Too bad, im the only option."

The step mother rolled her eyes, " Of course i would have arranged the marriage with My daughter but shes still too young."

Wish was annoyed with her blabbers, wanting to leave this hell hole and cuddle in her comfortable bed.

" Although he has a lot of gossips and negative headlines, you have to marry him." her father spoke finishing the forms. " Thats what you had vowed." he handed the pen to her.

" Yes, i already made up my mind. You shouldnt remind me every time." she grabbed the pen and looked at the paper in front.

' Marriage Approval'

Its heading read, followed by a long paragraph of the agreement or whatever. She carefully read it, if they made a mistake or anything shady. Not seeing any problems, she placed her pen by the signature box.

After breathing in heavily, she finally signed it.

Her father clapped loudly and took the paper away keeping it in another file safely.

" Im really proud of you, Wish. Hopefully, in the future this alliance will bring both of us with benefits"

Of course she was here for the benefit but little did they know.....it was even more for her. He extended his hand waiting for her to shake it.

Wish took it and both of them shook their hands while she secretly smirked staring at her dreadful father and step mother.

You are going to regret it. A lot.
