Chereads / the emperor's reckoning / Chapter 2 - Chapter two

Chapter 2 - Chapter two

" Marriage.

She rolled her eyes and glared at her parent as her mother held her hand.

Get ready. you are leaving tonight for good. Her mom said as her face went flame, hot red.

" To who?

" This was the best option, we have no choice than to accept his proposal on your behalf. we taught marriage could give you a better life. her mom explained.

Alicia frown, her parents accepting a stranger proposal was the most annoying thing, they have ever done to her, this was so upsetting.

" You have every right to be mad at us, but trust me it was for your own good.

" my good. She smirked as tears stream down her cheeks. do I look that desperate?

" Alicia...

Fine. Am done here. She said and walk out and Walk away.

......

" Clam down buddy, am sure they want the best for you. Lopez suggested. everything is gonna be alright.

" This crazy Lopez, those old folks accept a stranger proposal without my permission, they don't even care about my happiness. She cried out.

I don't want this. She cried out.

" Do something silly, you can't let them sell you off. yo....

..The call got this disconnected and Lopez sigh throwing her phone on the bed and sigh. So Alicia is getting married just like that.

.....

He wants to marry her, just to make her paid for her sister sin. And Alicia hate the fact that she was getting married and now all her dream is gone. What if her husband was an old sinking man or a drunker. She was hopeless, fragile and emotionally vulnerable. nobody had faith in her ability.

A knock was heard on her door, it open slowly as her mom steps in with a fancy fashion bag and place it on her dressing table.

" He sent this for you. Mrs joes said.

" Why does everyone continue to treat me like I could shatter at any moment? She asked in tears.

I think this what fate had planned for you.

" Getting married to a stranger. She cried out

" Am really sorry. everything will be fine my dear and am sure you will grow to loves your husband, it just a matter of time. The old lady wipes her tears and held her hands. I will get you ready, the driver will here in no time.

.....

Darkness was falling fast. as the sky grew darker and darker, lightning in the sky and rain fell, the limo driver turned off the road and steered between imposingly large gates guarded by soldiers. She strained to see the enormous property that lay ahead but the limo driver travelled slowly right on, past it, threading a path through a vast complex building and finally drawing besides one.

The soldier opened the door for her, she was ushered out and indoors, before she could even catch her breath, she was a little disappointed to find herself standing in a contemporary house.

A very large contemporary's house, she conceded wryly with aggressively gilded, fancy furniture and nothing whatsoever historic about it. A female maid in a white shirt and black skirt smile at her.

" The emperor is waiting for you. she said and Alicia glare with shock, so she was in the castle, she has no idea, she swallow hard. she had heard about him, no one knew how he looks like, cause he was always on a mask, no knew if he was ugly or handsome, yet ladies are over him, and his subjects cherish him a lot. He was the first young king to be on the throne and the youngest of Alexander family, the youngest son and yet he was the chosen. But never shows his face to anyone and rumors had spread that he could be a monster and that why he was putting on a mask.

.....

She is here. " Warner announced.

Lucas smiles lightly and slip his wine. " Sent my bride in, I heard she is pretty than my Doris.

I think you rest now your highness, you don't seem to be in a good state to see her. Warner said with a shaking voice.

" Sent my bride in. He repeat.

Yes your highness. He said and left.

....

" Another wife. The king mother yelled out angrily.

Yes my queen. I saw warner leading her to Lucas' s chamber. " she said breathing heavily.

The old queen rise on his feet breathing heavily." I got to stop this, he dare not to this to you. she said running out of her chamber, as Loretta run after her asking her to slow down.

........

Alicia swallow hard as she stepped into his chamber, the door was shut behind her, the room was dark, she brought her phone but it was dead as she sigh and sigh

" Damnit.

suddenly a arms wrapped round her, she was about to scream but paused hearing her sister name been called.

" Doris.
