'No dad I'll never marry him ' I said with a tear filled eyes

'You don't have a choice ' he replied void of any emotions

'No, I have rights to you can't force me this is not the 19th century ' standing up in anger he slapped me, I tersely moved back more from pain than shock cause I expected it

'You inept girl 'he barked ' you have never done anything for your family and you can't even sacrifice ' he looked desperate

'Honey calm down shouting is bad for your health 'My mom said standing behind him

'Why him ' I cried 'why can't I sacrifice in any other way ,why can't Jessica marry him, she's older, she's gone to college I'm just a beginner. Please don't do this to me. 'You are getting married on Saturday get yourself ready 'saying that he left going to his office

Looking over to my mom 'mom you can't let him do this please '

'Be good to your husband ' was all she said and walked away trying to mask her tears

I sat on the floor crying my eyes out, no matter how the maids begged me to get ready for dinner but at this point I don't give a **** , I will fight for my right, my life was going so well. Yes home was hell but I loved school , I have friends who takes me as their family, I have a boyfriend. How am I going to tell him that am getting married

'You should stop all these shenanigans now and prepare for dinner your father Is waiting ' mom said , I looked at her, she was dressed in a white Versace gown matching it with a pair of fendi sandals, she wore makeup even though It was just dinner.

I laughed sarcastically 'so this is why you sold your daughter your in love with the luxury ' saying that she slapped so hard I tasted blood 'how dear you speak to your mother like that' she said her voice imbued with anger. This was the second time today I was getting slapped by my parents but I didn't care ,hell I'll keep on protesting until I get my way

Before I could say another word 'one fucking job you couldn't do properly Maria' as he spoke I noticed how she shivered and couldn't help to wonder very soon my life will be like this at that thought I also shivered

'Dad please I don't want to marry him please don't force me'

'Don't waste your breath everything you say it's futile ' saying that he walked away into his room 'mom please' I begged but she ignored

************THE NEXT DAY*****************

My eyes slide open as I was welcomed by a thrudding headache . I had no idea how I got to my room - last I remember I was crying on the floor . And for a moment I hoped yesterday was a nightmare but I know that life won't be that easy for me . My gaze landed on my phone , I reached for it -pressing the power button but it was dead .I sighed talking a charger and plugging it . The phone turned on with- missed calls, unread messages bombarding my phone, most of the messages were from Nico

'Hey babe,how ar u doing?'

'Why ar u not picking up?'

"Babe are u OK?"

'Is date night still onn?'

'You know you can tell me anything right?just know I'm always here for you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH '

And many other messages from my friends. As I read the messages my chest tightened as suddenly I couldn't breathe, the whole room felt suffocating as tears started to drop from my eyes again, I hesitated looking at the screen not knowing what to reply back

What am i supposed to say ,how do I tell the love of my life I'm getting married on Saturday

What do I text him ,hey nico I'm breaking up with you because I'm getting married . I couldn't do that to myself or to him, nico was my only chance of escape from my family he was the best thing that happened to me after all the plan we made marriage after college

'Hey babe what time should I pick you up, will your family be okay with it

'Why are you not responding or picking up are you OK ' seeing the message I switched the phone off and flung it across the room
