HIS UNWANTED BRIDE

Chapter 1: Decision

[ Emerald ]

It was a bright Sunday morning in the Mansion.The sun was glistening. Finally,I was with my grandparents after two weeks yeah hell two weeks I finally able to crack the deal with the Collins,THE COLLINS I mean,who rules the business world in Mennasotta.

I landed in the city of New York in the dawn after three weeks.It was quite early in the morning ,they were fast asleep so I went out for jogging as I wasn't feeling like to sleep.

After forty five minutes sweating and panting hard I entered inside the house with Crazy,my golden retriever buddy.He was swaying his tail not effected after running along with me he is more energetic.

"Good morning Em."Martha,our housekeeper hugged me as soon as she found me in the kitchen when I was drinking water.

"Hey Martha how were you?"I asked her putting the empty glass on the island.

"Good go and get fresh I will make your favorite breakfast."She passed a smile to me and start preparing the breakfast.

I walked out of the kitchen but stopped in my track when my eyes landed on the two most adorable people of my life my grandparents.. Holy Mother I missed them so much.

My grandfather was reading his newspaper while my grandmother was instructing something to Louis ,our gardner,the poor guy,she must be scolding him for messing with one of her baby like plants Perhaps!

"Ma..Papa"I ran to them.

Their eyes shot up to me and next moment I was clinging on my grandmother's weak frame careful not to put my all weight on her.

"How is my little fairy?"She kissed my forehead softly patting my head.

"As good as you last saw me."I kissed her both cheeks and flung into my grandpa's arms."Papa I missed you the most."My eyes welled up,"I wished your presence beside me when I grabbed the deal."I pouted,though Papa had taken retirement from his position,he still attends all the important meetings.

"My blessings are always with you no matter if I am with you in person or not."He tried to smile but it didn't reach to his eyes.

I felt something was definitely wrong but jerk off the negative feeling but unlike their great enthusiasm whenever we spend some family time together,I found their behavior strange.

Silence before the storm!

They were talking to each other through eyes.There was something,they must be preparing themselves to present in front of me.

"What's wrong with you guys."I gave them care to explain look while digging my fork in the delicious lasagna in my plate.

"Honey your Grandpa wants to share something with you."Ma said while glancing at my grandfather through her peripheral view.

My eyes travelled to my grandfather whose face turned a stiff.It alarmed me of a torment.I am well aware of their every cell.

"Papa."I nudged him.I felt like sitting in front of the cops after being caught because of reckless driving on a one way.

"You have to marry the grandson of my friend Darian Knight's grandson in next week."He blurted out.

I think I misheard him!my inner voice murmured."Wh..whatt.."The shock of a four hundred watt would be much lesser then the thunderbolt my grandfather just strick on me.

I came back on the mother earth after shock when warmness covered my hands.I felt Ma wrapping her arms around me.

"Hey honey we are sorry but we have no other option."My grandmother sobbed hugging me in her old weak arms,"Our business is facing a continuous downfall you're well aware of it right? If this marriage won't happen,God knows how we are going to save this roof over our head.This business is nourished by the the hard work of your Grandpa and your late father for them please marry the man whom the destiny has chosen for you."She kissed my crown.
