I wake up alone in my bedroom, I try to lift my head but it's hopeless. I feel awful and numb, that I can hardly even wiggle a toe. Roderick! you bastard!. How dare you use tranquilizers on a weak female wolf.
The door to my room swung open and father slowly walked into the room. I shivered in fear, afraid of the consequences of my actions. There is no way I was going to be let off the hook this time. This man who had no regard for me, who couldn't care whether I lived or died, had now sent his men after me the moment he realized who had brought a proposal. I'm sorry father, but unfortunately that man won't be arriving any time soon. Cause I led him down the wrong path. He should be driving in circles by now.
He looked at me with a victorious grin. I don't like that look on his face, I feel sick whenever he has that look of wicked accomplishment, but I wonder, what's making him smile so much from just looking at me. "Your fiancé has arrived."
Excuse me, my what?!
I am undoubtedly sure that I pointed him in the wrong direction. So how the hell was he able to find this place so fast.
"Am I supposed to be thrilled?" I ask him.
He sneered at me with a vicious look.
"That's not my problem, at least save your face, get married to him."
Oh what a pain, what face am I saving if not his.
"No." I flatly disagreed. He shrugged as if annoyed. No, he was annoyed, but I was too busy not caring to care. I turned away from him and looked out the window. It would be in my best interest to avoid him as much as possible.
"Your future husband just arrived, but he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Looks as though someone misled and robbed him. And until hianger cools down and your body starts functioning properly, I suggest you behave like a good child and wait. Then you're going to meet your future husband tomorrow, and that's final,otherwise, you know what's coming to you and your mother, after all, you're already a used product.'' Ugh.
Am I really this hopeless, can I really not do anything while this man keeps blackmailing me. Why on earth do I have to be their sacrificial lamb and worse to some random guy, only for me to end up miserable. Whoever you are, I advise you to stay away from me, otherwise, I won't stay quiet.
...
Knock! Knock.
The maid only knocked but didn't wait for me to reply before she entered. It's been this way for ages and believe me, I am fed up. At first I thought it was all going to change if I could prove myself and make my father proud, however, that just happens to be a naive girl's dream.
"Miss. The master awaits your presence. please get ready to meet him and his guest in the living room." That was all she said before she left the room. That ignorant woman didn't even wait for me to give my response.
I hurriedly got dressed to finally face the man whom my father had arranged for me. Hopefully he doesn't recognize me otherwise I'm gonna be in big trouble. I hold up my hair with a band and put on some lip gloss. I didn't put in too much effort because I had no intention of creating awesome impressions because it will end just like the others did. In a disappointment.
"And here she is. My daughter Lilian. Lilian, meet Alpha Nelson."
I feel threatened by the word "My". It's something I find weird about myself, why address himself as my father if he never saw himself as my father anyway. However, I couldn't care less about him. At the moment, I focused on the men right before my eyes. They were said to be an Alpha and his Beta. Well, they sure did live up to their titles.
He reached for a hand shake, I didn't hesitate to shake with him, I didn't want any problems especially knowing that my escape plan failed.
"Ah, is that so?"
The man who was introduced as Alpha looked at me with a very dangerous glare, he knows, he surely knows, but what bothers me is why he's not saying anything. Why is he silent, why on earth is he just standing there instead of saying something.
"She's quite the charmer. I almost thought she was a boy just now."
This man is something else, and everything about him just spelt out the word dangerous.
I tilt my head and smile naively, as I try to pull away from his handshake, he really has no intention of letting me go as he tightens his hold on me. "Ha." I laugh foolishly, I am so screwed.
"Ha." He laughs back, only after I used all my force to pull back did he let go. "She's good, we'll take her."
"Excuse me."
I'm Certain I heard something wrong just now. What the hell did this man just say to me? I felt confused and speechless, it sounded like he just found a vase at the best price and not a bride. I took a glance at my father, searching for even a single ray of hope, but all that shattered the moment he sighed and shook his head, then, at that moment, I was certain that my father had really abandoned me.
"I said, I want you." He stepped forward, and whispered in my ear, "You will marry me right? young man who doesn't know the directions to this residence." I have to escape this place and fast. I don't want to get married and I can't get married, I certainly don't feel safe with him.
....
It's night time. I've been waiting for hours for it to get dark. It is the perfect time for my escape to come into action. I don't have a plan for my escape this time, I just intend on doing things the normal way, by simply running. I jump through my window, breaking the glass. I could see the confused faces of my father's Henchmen as their eyes all focused on me as I jumped out of my window. Believe me, I have tried different ways before but nothing works on them. They won't even let me believe I have won and just decide to keep playing with me, and to be honest it pisses me off.
Making a nice landing, I took to my heels, since it was a matter of my future, I decided to run like the wind. Unfortunately for me, the wind was blowing in a whole new direction and that direction was definitely not in my favor.
