"Mom I said no!" I yelled as I headed towards the door.
" Jessica you don't have a choice and besides it's better to marry the emperor than another low life. It will help your father's condition " mom explained.
I sighed . The idea of marrying a man known to be ruthless didn't sit well with me. My dad was gravelly ill and having a specialist check him out wouldn't bite.
" How about this you see the emperor and if you still don't like it you can leave..."
I walked away before mom could say more.

" I can't believe the emperor wants to marry you..." Maila my friend said.
" Neither can I " I stated as I lifted my water guard from the lake and turned to leave .
Just then two guards stood before us and their intimidating pose made me shiver to the core. I bravely looked at them and was about to walk away when I was swiped off my feet by one of the guards.
Maila gasped but could do nothing. I was dragged away to the chariot and we rode of.
" I demand to be released!" I yelled but they acted as if I wasn't there as if I didn't exist. I soon gave up and planned to bolt immediately the chariot stopped.
We soon came to a halt and I was escorted from the chariot. I turned and sprinted towards the the gates but just the a man in a black cloak stood before me and placed a cloth to my nose and I blacked out.

I woke up and found myself in a room . I was in the middle of a gigantic bed.
" You're awake .." a girl who I guessed by her dressing was a worker said." Here.."
She handed me a glass of water and I took it . " Where am I ?"
" The palace" she simply said.
I stared at her in shock but I knew she didn't have the answers I needed. " Where is his Majesty!" I asked anger rising within me.
The girl smiled at me " Have a shower then come down for supper"
She hurriedly left before I had a chance to ask anymore questions. I lazily got out of the bed and upon remembering my abduction rage burned within me .
I stormed out of the room determined to leave. A few guards tried to stop me but after I gave them death glares they didn't dare. I was finally out the palace doors. Just then I heard a throaty chuckle.
I turned to see a man leaning on one of the pillars. He had dark hair and silver tinted eyes. He had a well toned skin . Gosh he was drop dead gorgeous. It should be a crime that he existed.
" Guess I chose right.."
Wait chose . That means he was the emperor.
" Where are you going darling?" He started walking towards me and all the rage I had rose once more.
" Home . You are insane and completely delusional if you think I'll marry you . Not happening genius..."
" Well you don't have to worry about the marriage part since we are already married"
His words hit me hard. Married. This guy was either stupid or he lost his mind. I laughed.
He took out a document and shoved it into my face. I looked at it. It was a marriage certificate. It had my signature was on it. I instantly tore it to pieces.
" This is a lie!" I yelled and just then I heard a flashback of my mom making me sigh several documents she claimed were for the hospital. .
" Mmmmmmh.... darling I have another copy" he said placing his hand in his pockets.
" What do you want?Why me?" I asked accepting my fate.
" Your blood!" He said and shivers ran down my body . Was he a vampire?
" My ....my blood!"
" Yes , you are from a generation whose blood is ....quite of much importance" he said tucking a lose strand of hair behind my ear.
Gosh the fact that he is this good looking isn't helping at all.
" Look I don't care what..."
"Your dad. I paid for a specialist and if you stay I'll continue to take care of him."
I looked into his eyes. My dad meant the world to me and all I wanted was to make sure he was well. I decided to stay for his sake.
" I'll stay but we have to set ground rules" I said.
" Fine but for now Lilly will show you to your room " he said and took a step back.
I followed liiy the girl who had been by my side when I woke up. My life as a royal had began .
