chapter one Trial marriage

Knock! Knock! knock!

There was a heavy knock on the door

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The knocks came again even more urgent and louder

Knock! Knock! knock! knock!

There was no reply

Knock! Knock!

" Oh, forget it". Tired of being ignored, Mira opened the unlocked door.

Immediately she entered a dark, dank, cramped room.

The walls were painted yellow and the bedroom looks so disorganized.

The windows that were supposed to bring light into the room were enclosed with yellow curtains that were outlined with blue strips. The windows that were closed made everywhere to be dark except for the electric lamp that was emitting a little light beside the tattered bed filled with clothes.

The owner of the dark room and the reason for the room's moody depressed aura was a tired mopey bored face.

" Kelly" Mira sighed " you didn't answer the door"

Kelly, who was laying down on her bed looking at her room ceiling remained quiet.

she lay there thinking about life and what a mess it had become.

Almost as if.... like overnight her whole world had changed.

All of her biggest fears were about to become true and it all started with the big m. marriage. She was about to be married to a man she didn't want to marry.

" Mrs. Stuart, I know you hear me," Mira said happily joining her friend on the bed.

" don't call me that" Kelly huffed, turning her backside to her friend.

" oh come on, Kells" Mira nudged her shoulder "what's up with your moody face? Today is your wedding day. This is supposed to be the happiest moment of your life "

" I want to be left alone "

As she lay there, her blonde hair was also laying with her on the bed, her pointed nose looked curved and her red lips looks so dried up. Her eyes were dim with worries, and her creamy body look so pale. she was scared of the future that awaited her.

" My baby girl is getting married today, am so happy for you babe, " Mira said excitedly while still nudging her back

" Please go back, you forgot to knock, and don't come in if you weren't given any reply"

" Kelly can you stop being silly for once so that we can prepare for the work at hand, which is your wedding," Mira cautioned before she breathed out her little anger " well" she began with a smile " I booked a large cake, event center, and one more thing !, I invited all the men in the clubhouse to witness your wedding and some other people which I know that this your wedding is gonna be great," she said with happiness written all over her face but when she looked at the person she's talking with she noticed that the person wasn't paying her any attention at all, so she went closer to her.

" So tell me, what's bothering you? " Kelly came back from her boring state and looked at her friend

" Mira can you please explain to me how a woman can be able to stay with one man all through the rest of her life, is gonna be frustrating "

" You have to try "

" Try you say? you of all people should know how much I love sex "

" Then you have to fight against that urge, after all, your husband can satisfy you "

Kelly rolled her eyes at that word. Who could love to grow old with one man? yes, people might be saying that they wanna grow with one man but is not from their heart, they only say that because the relationship was still fresh or they just began. Well, why stressed herself when the court has made it very easy for her to divorce anyone at any time?

But there is a problem and the problem was that the person she is getting to is from a rich home and won't be letting her off so easily, which is very disappointing.

That wasn't even the main problem, the scary fact was that the man agreed on a white wedding which is very rare these days. All through her life, she has declared to herself that she won't get married but if this pressure from her parents was to continue, she will then have a court with whoever was to be so unfortunate to marry her but look where life has taken her because of money.

" I can't keep eating pizza every day, I will get used to it" Kelly lamented with rolled eyes

" but you don't have any other choice here, do you ?" Mira asked with raised brows but Kelly scrunched up her face immediately

" I can't believe my parents did this to me I always inform them of my intention of not getting married but they kept on pursuing me and now, they had signed a contract marriage with a foolish handsome guy I met at the club "

" Baby girl, you don't have to worry, you will be okay, " Mira said trying to make her feel better by holding her both cheeks and pinching them " Why do you think I invited all the members of the clubhouse in the first place, coz I wanted them to get to their notice that you have been taken so they can back off "

Kelly signed "Mira, you just don't understand, I can't do this but if I was to do it, after giving birth to two kids am done, I will divorce him and continue my life " Kelly stated with a determined face

" You can't do that !" Mira was shocked "your children are gonna hate you for that "

" For all, I care" Kelly rolled her eyes again, her friend is putting her in a difficult condition " I can come from time to time to visit them "

Mira sighed exasperatedly before she sat up from the bed" the deed has been done so all you need to know is that you are getting married today and nothing is gonna stop it, so" she stretched her hands towards Kelly " are you going or not? " Kelly just rolled her eyes before grabbing the hand being stretched at her and Mira brought her up.

" let's go partying " Mira announced

When they came out, they met their two other friends who were waiting for them outside so that they can be able to take Kelly to the salon for the preparation of her wedding.

"I haven't brushed my teeth" Kelly declared immediately she and Mira came out of the house and tried to run back inside the house but her friends held her by the waist to stop her from going anywhere.

" I think the salon has a toilet, you can brush your teeth there " Angelica Suggested, and the others nodded their heads in support

" Yeah, is a good idea. Kelly, you are not escaping this marriage no matter how hard you try" Ella said firmly and grabbed her by the arm while leading her toward the car.

They had tried in so many ways to make sure that Kelly got married but she always prove strong head to do that.
