" Run !" A hand from behind grabbed her hand and yanked hard , a terrifying scream escaped her lips as she fell on the floor with a thud 

 " Sweet little cousin trying to run away ...uncle is dead ..I wonder who would protect you " her lips opened her lips in surprise

Her gaze fell on a polished shoe she didn't need to look to know who was standing in front of her and behind her she grith . Why was Arielle suddenly helping him . This demon what do he want ?

 " You think it's so easy to run away from me " shehis big hand grab her neck and pulled her up . His hand tightened making it difficult to breath .

 " Please let me go .. your_hurting me " she struggled to breath as she was dragged to the aisle and the priest seemed to look indifferent at her as if he was used t seeing this tue of scene .

" Do you think I'll let you go so easily _want to marry into the Anderson family? without my permission the only person you'll ever spend the rest of your miserable life is with me until you pay slowly for your father's Sins " he let go as she collapsed on the floor her face turned blue because of lack of oxygen as she tried to breath . While she glared at him .

 " What my father did to has nothing to do with me _ so don't dream so big bastard" she cursed in anger who was he to control her after killingthe people she cared about . 

A crisp slap echoed in the silent hall , abi staired blankly tat the woman she have once trusted 

 " Miss Ratchford speak nicely I'm sure you don't want to anger the general right " she watched the mocking grin on her lips as bneads if tears rolled down her cheeks 

" Just as expected a spoilt woman how you make me feel disgusting" she turned and walked out the door .

She couldn't make any word of what the priest spoke 

" You may now kiss the bride " her hand curled behind her
