1 The news

Liana was just a normal teenage girl who wanted to be a successful girl in the future. She was a kind, humble, patient and fragile innocent girl. Her family owned a big company but she didn't want to be entitled as the daughter of the CEO. She wanted to work hard for herself and be an independent woman. She was currently a university student. A top student and had that mind set of her priority, which was her studies. She always come to school with her friends, Justin, Ashley, Victoria and Dylan. Her friends gladly supported her with all her decisions and promised to be with her in her crucial times. But as they promise they did not know her biggest fear will come to meet her.

Daniel and Karina were nervously waiting for their daughter to come home and tell the news. They knew that she will argue with them after this news but they didn't have any choice. They were going bankrupt. In order to survive, they partnered with Grey's Company. They arranged a marriage for their daughter who was against their will. Karina knew that her daughter will be in pain as she was as fragile as a flower. Her 4 brothers already knew this news but they can't fight for their beloved sister.

Liana opened the door of their mansion without caution. There stood her family complete with another family whom she was not familiar with. Her brothers are there complete, parents as well as her grandparents. She just smiled and walked cutely towards them. She bowed her head to them and tilted her head as a sign on why are they there. Her brothers could only pout and shook their head. Her mom asked her to sit down beside the boy who wear a hoodie. She hesitated for a while but she just went to the chair and smile at him even if she didn't know him. However the boy just ignore him.

Never once she thought he would be ignored like that. They started eating and the elders are talking about business as always. While she was eating her grandmother suddenly said " Liana prepare for your wedding next two months" she froze in her seat and she couldn't process what her grandmother said.

She held tight onto the fork and said " Grandma can you repeat it again? I might be hearing it wrong. Me? Getting married? In a few months?" She suddenly burst out her anger and frustration. Her family was so shock because she never did this. She didn't have any personality like this. She then ask who was her future husband. Her brother could only look at the boy beside her. The boy then said " ask my parents".

She did not know about him and his family. All she could remember while her parents and his are talking is that his parents are John and Tamara Grey. She asked on why at this early stage she would be married. They explain it to her while her eldest brother Nathaniel gave her a glass full of water. She could only agree to it because she doesn't have any choice. She felt devastated when they said " your marraige is private. No one else can know this. Even in the business world. There is an estimated time. In 4 years you will bear a child and that time we will announce your marriage to everyone. Finish your school quickly and you will work at the company"

Liana walked to school instead of driving the car. Her excuse to her maid was she wanted to burn her fats even if she didn't have any. She walked in the alley and she remembered that she took the wrong way. She turned her body when a drunk man came up to her. Another two men came to her and started dragging her. She started shouting and screaming for help. The drunk man shushed her and started touching her. She screamed and screamed until someone heard it. She closed her eyes tightly and hugged her body. She heard punching sound, something like a fight. She couldn't open her eyes because she was traumatized. Someone hold her hand and she tremble in fear. The person said in a cold tone" hey, it's your husband Jun".
