Chapter two.

"You are going to make a beautiful bride."

My mother exclaimed with joy as she watched my cousins do my makeup and dress me up.

Of course,asad jibawi's wife, I still can't believe my father put me up for this crap.

" Don't give me that face Amelia,

He a very good man, hard working"

" Right, mother. Can I finish now ?"

" Of course, thirty minutes."

My mother leaves the room.jasmine,my older cousin sits in front of me,

" At least he's rich."

" And attractive," nila adds.

I sigh hard,the worst part for me is leaving them all,asahd now leaves in America.

Everyone knows the kind of man am about to spend the rest of my life with, only thing on my father's mind is a man rich enough to keep me happy,

Like that bastard gives a fuck.

My thoughts are interrupted by my father's presence in the room.

" It's time,"

Thanks father, you just ruined my life...

                   $$$$$$$$

We have just arrived at the jibawi mansion,there alot of people here to welcome us.my mother still managed to get me under that veil, damn it.

Nila stands next to me.

" Look up there," she whispers pointing up the balcony.

I slowly rise my eyes to see what she's referring to.

And there he is,

looking me straight in the eye when I face him. He draws out a wicked grin and rises a wine glass as if to say cheers, he straightens his jacket and vanishes, probably coming down.

" Are you nervous?"

" No."

We go in with everyone else.the house is a definite palace, emerald walls,marble floor with diamond chandeliers lighting the room.

I see asahd talking to my father, holding up a great smile and definitely enjoying the drama.fuck him.

"Is that my bride?" He asks, loud enough for me to hear.

No,it's your grandmother.

My father turns to face me, with a warm smile, he calls me to stand next to him.

" Asahd, meet Amelia, your future wife."

" Father, could I at least show her to the world?"

"She'll soon be yours, you can do whatever pleases you."

I can smell the pride and triumph that statement gave him. It's only about to get worse. He swiftly takes the veil off my face.

I cannot help noticing his shock,or excitement, perhaps fury,it's mixed emotions.

It's a secret I've kept from everyone for twenty four months now,the reason it took my father three months to get me before asahd today.

" Pleased to meet you Amelia," he softly kisses the top of my hand.

" You really are going to make a beautiful bride."

My father smiles with visible relief.asahd' s parents  are walking towards us. Still holding my hand,we see eye to eye.

Its not the first time we've met.welcome to hell Amelia.
