The church was beautifully decorated, everyone was seated in the church. On the altar was a handsome young man who's waiting for his bride. The door flew open and a beautiful young lady walks inside the church, everyone watched as the bride walked to the altar with her father by her side.
She got to the altar and her soon to be husband took her hand. The ceremony began and everything went on peacefully until the priest asked, do you Wesley take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?.
"I do" Wesley replied} do you Lilith take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?.
"I....I...um...I...d..." The bride looks at her family present before her. Her Father, Mother and Brother then her husband to be.
" I...I..I don't" She said and everyone gasped in surprise. Everyone began to whisper.
"Wesley you're a wonderful guy but I'm aware you don't want this.....you don't want to marry me....you don't love me and I don't love you either. We're both doing this to make both our dads happy. I think it's time we make our own decisions and if our dads want to partner with one another they should do so without making our lives miserable"
Lilith looks at her Father. "Sorry dad but I can't do this....I can't ruin my life just to make you happy"
She turns to Wesley. "Wesley I hope we could be friends in the future"
"Sure"Wesley replied. Lilith leans closer to Wesley and said. "Now if you'd excuse me, I gotta go before my dad hangs my head up on the wall.
Lilith ran to her friend's house. 'Lilith...oh, my God. Why? What happened? aren't you suppose to get married today?" Joyce asked. "It's a long story" Lilith replied 'Come on Lilith what's going on?" "I kinda ruined the wedding..... I can't marry the nigger for heavens sake. I don't love him and he doesn't love me either" Lilith said.
"What did your dad say?" Honestly i don't even want to talk about it.....but I left the church before he could say a word" Lilith said. "So what're you gonna do now?"Joyce asked
"Um...I'd have to stay with you for a while". "Ok....but you have to change into something more decent cause you look like Cinderella when she left prince charming on the Altar" Joyce said.
"Hey Cinderella never left prince charming on the altar, she left him on the day of the royal ball.....what kind of fairy tail do you even read?" Lilith asked
"whatever" Joyce screamed as she made her way to the kitchen. "What would you like to eat?" Joyce asked "anything you could find in the fridge" Lilith said
Joyce gave me a pack of chips and a glass of milk. "Manage this.....it's all I have now" Joyce said "It's better than nothing" Lilith said. Lilith stayed with Joyce for a while and she reluctantly left. Lilith got to her house and she met her family in the living room.
"Where are you coming from?" Her dad asked. "I....I...um...I went...I...went to meet....a friend" Lilith said. Her dad rushed to and her was about to hit her but her mom held his hand.
"You ungrateful piece of shit.....after everything I've done for you, you still had to screw things for me...why can't you do something right?...for once, just once why can't you make this family proud?" Lilith's dad said
"Do you want me to sell myself?.....I can't marry someone just because of your partnership with his dad" Liilith said. "you're nothing but an ungrateful child.....you are going to marry him" Her dad said. "I'm eighteen dad, don't you think I'm old enough to make my own decisions?" Lilith said.
"You can only make your own decisions when you can put a roof over your head, feed yourself, clothe yourself and pay for your school but since I did all of that for you, you don't have any decision to make...now I was about to say this before but I'd say it now. Mr Colin has given us another chance so you are to marry Wesley" Her dad said. "read my lips dad I WILL NEVER MARRY WESLEY".
This made her dad so furious that he slapped Lilith so hard. "You will marry him like it or not" Her dad said. "Then you'd have to take my dead body to the altar" Lilith said.
Lilith's dad slapped her again 'Leave my house, I don't ever want to see your face again.....from today I no longer have a daughter and you no longer have a Father...go upstairs and pack your things. Honey please don't do this...she's still your daughter" His wife pleaded.
" I'll forgive her, only if she marries" Wesley. Her dad said "Never.....you'd have to kill me" Lilith said "
"So be it...from now onward you're here by cut off from your inheritance and I disown you...you're to leave my house effective immediately".
"You cut me off my inheritance just because I refuse to marry Wesley?...fine I'd leave" Lilith said.
Lilith went to her room, her Mom joined her. Lilith hugged her Mom tightly knowing she has no where to go. Lilith walks out of the house with nothing but just the little money her Mom gave to her before leaving.
Hey, I'm Lilith and what you've just witnessed happened five years ago. Now i'm twenty three years old and I work in a successful company as a secretary. Although my salary is much but I still struggle to manage it.
Ever since I was disowned by dad, I've been determined to be successful and rub my wealth all over his face, but how can I?...when my salary isn't enough to pay my rent. Work was over, I got home, I flung my bag aside.
I went to the fridge to see if I could find anything to eat but unfortunately the only thing I could find was a bottle of water. Oh, well it seems like I'd have to sleep without food tonight. I brought out my laptop and I walked straight to bed, I still have some paper works to attend to before going to bed.
I took a few sips of the water and I began my work. After typing for so many hours I was done with everything and I fell asleep.
