After Lewis left with Joan the party continued like nothing happened, many of them blamed Joan she was never to meant be there , only lowlifes causes scenes everywhere they go.
Athena sat stressed she didn't know where her friend was. Her parents warned her not to live it'll show a bad picture. she was also forced to sit near Ken by her dad explaining that it'll help them bond.
" follow me, " he held her hand tightly , she followed back questioning herself what was happening next. Finally they stopped near the parking lot.
" I won't beat around the bush, I don't like you, I've never liked you ," he made himself clear. " let's get married." he looked straight into her eyes, Athena almost choked on shock, what marriage but he just said that he didn't like her .
" what , what's the point of marring if there's no love? " this man was unbelievable , he can't just play with marriage. " I don't care if you love me or not , but am not marring you . " he looked at her displeased.
"love is for the weak , emotions drags someone down, " this woman was really hard to deal with. " oh , you want to move out of your parents house so this is the only choice so , I won't be home anyway I've got work to do other that deal with you, so what do you say" he was more than serious.
" I.....but" he was right she wants to so bad to move out of her parents home this was the best idea .If he isn't going to be home then that's settled, " am ...."
" let's meet tomorrow at my office to sign the contract, I expect you you be there at six o'clock on the dot so don't disappoint me, I'll have a business trip so .." he didn't let her answer, he was so clean and clear .
Athena was left there standing like a statue, he just planned everything himself he never gave her a chance to think about it ,how mean . All she could think of is FREEDOM from her parents pester .
She called Joan's phone but no one answered , what really happened to her friend, was is it a bad choice to let her friend come along, she just wanted her friend to enjoy, was that wrong?.
she's always dreamt of getting married with someone she loved but she's stuck in a contract marriage why do parents think that forcing marriages was the only way.
she couldn't help but tag her hair, while in this contract marriage she'll look for someone to love ,it's not like they'll stay forever in this contract marriage, they divorce later.
she wasn't young anymore she had to fall in love with a true man , someone who'll tolerate her mood swings. Her parents loved each other so much even though they were forced to marry.
They fought most times but found solutions the next minute. She heard stories that people in contract marriages fell in love later , Ken wasn't that bad , he was all a complete woman would want, how about in this marriage she tries to make him fall for her , that wasn't hard right.
