"Mother.. please I don't want to marry him" I pleaded to her.
"You know Eve nothing can be done now" She replied "Come on compose yourself you have to make appearance".
Soon I was dragged near the entry from where my father escorted me t...
I was not escorted by my father, like a loving father does to his daughter who is getting married but rather my mother dragged me near the entry where my father stood waiting for me. His eyes were not gleaming in pride like a father's but rather it seemed like he was in a hurry to get this done with. As soon as he saw me, he held my hand and as soon as he did it seemed like he stiffened and I looked at him thinking might be he realized something but after sometime as if he has made up his mind, his rigid form escorted me to the aisle.
Through my veil, I could see my brother Aron dressed in a suit and my two sisters, Tessa as my bride's maid and Brianna as maid of honor looking happy. It seemed like everyone was happy about the event that was taking place except me. When I glanced towards the aisle where my groom stood in a black suit looking handsome but his eyes showed how indifferent he felt to the whole ceremony at that time.
I saw him flicking a glance at me and giving a once over and then looked away, soon as I reached the aisle where a father hands over the bride to her husband to be. He took my trembling hand and gripped it hard making me wince in pain. My father did not utter any words to him as any other father would for his loving daughter, he simply left from our side. I would have stood motionless if I had not felt the pain from his grip, I looked at him and shaking my hand to let him know he was hurting me but his grip was tightening more and more every second. I recalled this was his way of warning me to go through the ceremony without any issues.

It would have been satisfactory if he actually wanted the wedding in real. But the disinterest in his eyes, the emotionless expression on his face was what was encouraging the rebellious feeling within me, thoughts of me running away from my predication and also free him from whatever obligation he had to go through this wedding because he too didn't want this wedding as much as I did. But one look at my family and all the thoughts vanished like smoke.
I could not fathom a single thing which would explain why a rich man like him would want to marry a nobody like me when he does not even like me. I have known rich people do things on their whims but the thing was that whim was what was ruining my life.

I had dreamt about starting my career as finance accountant and then make my way to own a small accounting firm which will manage the finance of the other firms but alas nothing sort of happened and here I am getting married to a complete stranger, god knows why? when I could be doing something better.
