Rebecca's POV
I was asleep when i heard a loud banging on my door, i sat up out of fear. " Rebecca are you still asleep?", it was Steven. What does he want?
" Rebecca are you still asleep?, get up before father come get you himself"
I lay back on my bed not paying attention to what he was saying, then it hits me, today was the day we meet the Wilders, I felt tears building up in my eyes. I don't want this, I don't want to get married.
" Rebecca"
" Go away Steven"
" I just don't want father hitting you"
" what do you care, just go away" I snapped at him.
I came out from the bathroom, and walked over to my wardrobe with a towel on my head, holding my hair up and one on my body, I opened the wardrobe trying to find a nice dress to put on to please my dear "husband", I looked through but didn't know what to wear, I heard a knock on my door " Steven, I said go away, I don't want you knocking on my door"
" Rebecca"
I heard a soft tone, it was my mom, I opened the door and I saw a wild smile on her face, that was the first time she smiled at me that way, why is she in a good mood?, is she that happy about my marriage? or is there another reason she would smile at me like that?.
My mom said nothing to me, she came into my room and walked over to my wardrobe, I stood still looking at her, she scanned through my closet and took out a beautiful bright red gown handling it over to me. " Men love seeing women on red" . I took the cloth looking at her, there's something about her smile, like she's been forced to smile, but why?. I didn't ask for her help. " thanks mum" .
" you're welcome dear". She still had that smile on her face, I wish she could just stop. since she's here I can't just let her go without having a word with her .
" mom"
" yes dear"
"Are you comfortable with me getting married?" her smile slowly faded, now that's the face I know.
" You dad said you should be ready in 10"
" mom, that was not my question, why are you doing this to me?, why can't you act like my mother" I couldn't hold the tears any longer " I don't want to get married, I don't like this, be my mom, is that much to ask?"
" Rebecca" she shouted " be ready in 10", she shoved me aside and walked out, I fell on the floor, my hand on my chest as I cried, I took the dress and threw it at the door, what did I expect.

Devon's POV
"I said I won't be doing this" I shouted at my father, running my hands through my hair
"she's your wife, it's only right that you go pick them up" my dad said, obviously annoying me on purpose
"she's not my wife, and we have a fuckin chauffeur for that"
" You're only giving out a good impression, and that's good on your side, her parents won't be worried at all, they all think she's in safe hands" I hated the smile my dad always have on his face, it creeps me out
" I'm not doing that"
" I won't force you, I just know you will know what to do" he smiled at me and walked out, i know what he meant by that.
I walked over to the window looking at the sky, I took out a cigarette
" you still smoke?" Anna spoke from behind me
" How did you get in"
" umm, though the door" she gave me the where- else-will-i-come-in-from look " I heard you and dad, I don't like the girl"
I smiled at her " you haven't even met her"
" I don't care, you're not comfortable with it, and you and dad have been on each other's head for the past weeks, and it's because of her, so I don't like her"
"I don't like her either, but she's not the reason I hate dad"
" dad said you should go pick her, like her slave or something, I don't like her, she's not a princess, why treat her like one" I like the fact that Anna don't like the girl, I dont like her too.
" I think you should go get dress, we will be having dinner with their family, later today okay"
" we are going to eat with them?" she was shocked " no, I'm not doing that"
I bent over so I could see her cute face" do you want dad locking you up in your room?"
" he can't do that again, you're back, I think dad is scared of you, he let me whatever I want to do as long as I'm with you"
" is that so?" she nodded her head " okay do this one for me, you can use this opportunity to put on the dress I bought for you, it's a beautiful dress and I bet you will be the most beautiful girl tonight"
" more beautiful than Rebecca?"
" yes, more beautiful than her" I patted her hair and smiled at her
" okay" she squeak in joy and left.
I smiled at her, she's the only one keeping me sane in this house.
*. *. *. *
I was done doing my make up and hair, I looked at myself in the mirror, I must say the dress look nice on me. I heard a knock on my door
" Are you done yet?, father is furious" Steven said
" I will be down in a minute" I took my black purse and headed outside, I opened my door and saw Steven, what's he still doing here?.
Steven escorted me down to the front door as we waited for the limo. My mom looked stunning in her blue dress that matches her eyes, she is a beautiful woman, it's so sad she got married to someone like my father.
My father came out few minutes before the limo arrived " Nice pick, exactly the dress I asked you to pick, don't it look nice on her"
" yes honey it does"
That explains her smile, she never wanted to get close to me, she was asked to do so, well done mom.
The limo parked in front of our house, and the chauffeur came to open the door for us, why should he do that?, I mean we have hands.
suddenly, a tall man came down from the car, he was in a black suit, I couldn't see his face from here but I knew he is good looking too.
" Devon" my dad called his name
DEVON WILDER??, What's he doing here?
"Devon, I'm Sutton Mayfair, your bride's father" my father gestures his hand for a shake but Devon looked at his hand then to his face " I have no intention on knowing who you are". I could see my father's face burn in embarrassment, I loved it.
" where's the girl".
" Rebecca!!!" my dad screamed my name
I walked over to them with no hint of fear on my face " yes father"
"she's the one?"
" yes"
" Get in the car, we are leaving" he got in immediately. my dad was about getting in the car when the chauffeur stopped him saying that the bride alone is the only one permitted to get in. I walked pass my father and got in.
" Devon, we can all join you,after all we all have one destination"
"Take me home" and immediately the car drove off.
The look on my father's face was priceless, he was both shocked and angry, seeing him beg was something I thought I would never see,so glad I saw that, I was so engrossed on my dad that I didn't notice Devon's stare at me, I looked up to met his hazel eyes staring at me, they were beautiful.
" is something funny?" he asked with his eyebrow raised
"No"
"okay"
The drive was quite after that, he was on his phone and the quietness was deafening. The car stopped, i guess we have arrived, the chauffeur opened the door for us, I came down seeing a beautiful big white house with a little touch of red before me.
Devon walked towards the door and I followed him, he banged the door open which I considered normal to him.
I walked in to Devon's parents who were waiting for our arrival, I saw a little girl, I think she's 10 or 11, she wasn't so happy to see me.
" Hey, Rebecca" His mom said walking towards me " you look lovely in person, love the dress by the way"
" Thanks ma'am "
" oh don't call me ma'am, I'm Susan, you can call me Susan" she smiled at me
" okay" I smiled back at her
" where are your parents, thought they're meant to be here with you" crane asked
" They are on their way here" I said
"But I sent the limo to pick you all up"
" oh, you did" I looked over at Devon who was looking at me too, giving me the "WHAT" look. " they will be here any minute from now"
" Anna, you don't have anything to say to Rebecca?" Devon asked her.
Anna walked up to me with all confidence, she's sure bold for a small girl " run away while you still can, no one here loves you" she said and walked back to Devon.
I did not expect that, but baby girl should know that I come from a home filled with hatred and she doesn't scare me, she's just cute.
Two security men walked in with three big boxes "Are you expecting anyone?" susan asked
"no, not at all"
" Then who's bags and boxes are these"
Suddenly, a girl in her early 30s walked in with a wild smile on her face. " Mom, Dad I'm home" she shouted as she made her way to us .
"well, well well, look who decided to come home" crane said.
"Victoria" Susan called at her as she walked over giving her a hug." hope you're not going back to china?"
" No mom, I'm here to stay" she smiles at Susan
Mom?, I'm so confused.
"oh hey Devon, how have you been?" Victoria asked.
Devon didn't answer, he held Anna hand and kept his eyes in her.
" guess some things never change" she shook her head, and turned her attention to me "who's this?"
I knew she was referring to me but didn't answer, I looked up to meet her eyes she have gray eyes, just like Susan, while Devon have hazel like his dad, so why does Anna have blue eyes?
"sorry, I'm . . ."
"she's Devon's bride" Susan said,cutting me off and earning stares from Devon
"oh wow, my little brother is getting married, that's so sweet, hi I'm Victoria " she stretches her hand out for a shake.
" hi, I'm Rebecca" I took the hand
" it's nice meeting you, hope we get along" she smiled at me
" yeah, we should " I smiled back
" okay, see you all later" she walked away heading up stairs
" we will be having dinner in 5, make sure you're here" Susan said
."okay ma"
"i think it's now a family reunion " crane said with a smile on his face.
I felt the hairs on my body stand, My Father, he's here, i suddenly became self conscious, i dont know why i fear him, i did nothing wrong so why should i be scared.
My dad walked in holding my mom's hand and was all smiley like a happy couple, I almost threw up, the sight of them holding hands was an eyesore.
" The Mayfair family is here, let the party begin" crane said
I don't like that man, he is so much like my father
" come on everyone, to the dinning room, dinner is served" .
