"I can't do this dad, I will do anything but not this"
I chocked, tears spilling down my cheeks,my heart throbbing and my hands trembling like a dried leaf in thunderstorm
"Listen Mira, You don't have any other option, you have to do this for yourself and for our kingdom," An old man spitted
"Dad please-"I whispered
"Honey listen, you know that all of this is for your goodness," He said softly
"What goodness huh??" I screamed, losing my temper "You freaking know about his reputation, you know about the rumors, You know everything and you are still acting like it's nothing"
"It doesn't matter Mira, nothing does, because you are getting married to him, get this shit in your head, nothing can change it," And with this he turned on his heels and left.
The air became heavy,unbreatheable ,as I fell on my knees, screaming my lungs out, it felt like the world has collapsed, as if it's my last moment before I am thrown in the darkness, the darkness which is going to haunt me every moment,
My hands trembled vigorously, as they pressed against cold group, tears making my vision blurry,
All I was able to think was "Is this the end?, "
I was getting married to the devil himself, I screamed again knowing that I was going to the hell and the devil himself was my tour guide
I got up and started walking, knowing that there is no turning back from hell,there never have been any. I was too weak to fight, too powerless.
The door behind me shut,I felt numb, the tears had stopped, but the emptiness was only growing with every single second. I can't believe this is happening, How can my own father do this to me?, He was the only person I trust in this world, my mother was always reserved, but my father always took care of me, and now he was sacrificing me for his kingdom,he was treating me like I am nothing, but I am not a pawn, I am a freaking person with emotions, hope and fear
But none of those good memories mattered now when I was a prize to be offered in return of exchange.
I want to run, run as far as I can, but I am well aware that at the end of the day I am just a step closer to him, and the hell he would drag me into.
I sat in front of my bed looking out of the window, the moon was shining brightly
