All it took was a promise, a promise to help him and do everything in her power to assist him when he needed it. A poor soul with not a single asset to her name; for the man she unconditionally fell in love with at first sight, she made a promise, a promise that landed her in a pit. A pit that he painstakingly dug for her and a pit into which she willingly fell.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing at the moment. Was this some kind of joke or what? One thing was for certain though, this man never joked. She had known him for a month and she had never seen him making a joke or smile for that matter. The other staff had given him a nickname, he was known as Mr. Cold because of the coldness he emits wherever he was. She knew that he was a good man; it was just the circumstances that turned him this way which was also one of the reasons why she developed a huge crush on the man even when she fully knew that he will never see her that way.
So after all that assessment, why was he saying these words to her?
'Are you joking sir?' she asked him as she staggered since she was standing on her two feet.
'I am not a person who just jokes. I thought you said that you will help me when I need help. Are you turning back on your word right now?' this man was a professional, how could he make her the assailant in just a second when he was the one throwing a bomb on her.
'I did say that but I never thought it will end up this way,' she said as she sat down on the opposite chair.
'You promised so you have to this for me or do you want to see those wolves eating me up?' he asked her with raised eyebrows and she understood what he was saying. To be honest she didn't want that at all. She would rather sacrifice herself and help him. This wasn't a bad deal after all; she will have her own win too.
'So I simply just have to marry you?' she asked him once more.
'Yes child, you marry me and become my lawfully wedded wife. I will take care of you and your family. You can still go to school like you were; all I need is for you to be by my side. I am not asking for much am i?'
He really was asking her for too much. He didn't even love her and yet he wanted her to marry him. She was in love with him and would be happy to do that but there were issues she just couldn't decipher on her own and needed a bit of clarification.
'Aren't you worried about my age at all?' she asked him.
'You are already an adult dear and not a minor so I am not worried at all. Just think about it and give me an answer. I will accept whatever decision you make,' he said.
She looked at him and saw desperation in his eyes. A man like this wouldn't come to her unless it was urgent. So she decided to make the biggest decision of her life that instant.
'I will do it, I will marry you,' she told him and she saw a smile on his face. That was the first time she was seeing one on his face. He could emit such light with just a smile; she fell for him even more.
She didn't know what was going to come in the future but she was going to face it head on. She also deserves her own happiness even when it meant to be a bit selfish.
