Chapter 7
Mia's POV
Here I am sitting in front of my mirror trying to process everything that happen yesterday. My parents told me not to go school as they had to talk more about the wedding. Why does this happens to me.
Thinking about it, why did the scary man chose me? I mean my sister is a model, popular, pretty, smart and outgoing. Me on the other hand, plain, high school girl.
This man is really is confusing. I prepared myself to go down and face my parents. Here goes nothing.
I slowly made my way down to meet my parents. As I step into the living room, I saw my parents and Olivia sitting in the couch.
"Morning mum and dad." I greeted them. They turn to face me. "Morning sweetheart. Come and take a seat." My dad greeted me. I nodded and went to seat beside him.
My dad took a deep breathe before starting. "Listen sweetheart, I know all of this a bit sudden and all. But Damien is a good men." He said. The scary man is good man? Haha.
"You will be happy with him. The wedding is in 3 days. We need to get started for the wedding." He said nervously. My eyes bulge out.
"THE WEDDING IS IN 3 DAYS?" I screamed out. This is insane. My parents and Olivia sighed. "Unfortunately, yes." my dad told me.
Urgh. Why is the wedding happening so fast. I thought maybe the wedding will only happen after I finished high school. And maybe he might change his mind soon.
Guess the luck is not my side. "I do not have much of choice, do I." I told my dad. He just shook his head. I sighed and nodded my head.
"I have a condition." I said. "What is it?" my dad asked me back curiously. "I will continue to go to the same high school after the wedding." I told them sternly. "I will arrange for it. I promise." my dad promised me.
I nodded my head. "Well with that done, why don't the three of you go and have the wedding dress ready. The rest preparation will be done by Albert and me." My dad told us. I just nodded my head.
My mum, Olivia and I got ready and went to the boutique in the mall. I was nervous. Like really nervous. I don't want this wedding. I cant really go and talk to the scary man.
What am I going to do?
Soon we reached the mall. We parked the car and headed inside. We straight headed for the boutique. I literally dragged myself to the boutique.
I was disinterested. I wanted to know if my sister was ok with everything. "Olivia, may I ask you something?" I called out to Olivia. "Yeah sure. What is it." she asked me with a smile.
"I wanted to know if you were ok w-with this." I asked slowly. She took a sigh. "At first, I was angry. Not at you. But at the situation. But I came to terms with it. However I want you to happy Mia. Don't let that ruin your happiness." she said with a smile.
I nodded my head. "I was wondering if you wanted to be my maid of honor." I asked. I really want her to be beside me when wedding happens.
"Of course." she squealed. "I wouldn't have allowed anyone else to take that role." she said with a playful glare. I just laughed at her silliness.
Soon we were in the boutique. And I became a doll. My mum and sister took most of the wedding dress and asked me to try it on. Apparently my mum and sister were more excited for my wedding than I am.
Luckily the woman already took my measurements. After hours of trying on wedding dresses, I took a rest. My mum and Olivia were still taking a look on the other dresses.
While I was looking around, a wedding dress caught my attention. Without realising I went towards the dress.
It was simply amazing. It was laced at the top. And flowy at the bottom. It had a look of princess in it. As I was admiring it, one of the store lady came to me. "Ah I see you have found interest in this dress." she said.
She looked a bit old. She was sweet and nice. "This is a special dress. One of a design. It is made of different fabric. And can assure you, it would look amazing on you." she said as she smiled at me.
Just then my mum and Olivia came. "Sweetie, the dress looks amazing. Its the perfect dress for you." I just nodded my head.
Soon my mum was talking to the lady about the dresses and other stuff. I started to zone off. Not that I am excited or interested.
Just then I heard a voice boom in the boutique. The voice that brought shivers down my spine. The voice that I dreaded. "Mrs Knight."
I did not dare to turn back. I stood frozen in my spot. My mum however turn back of having her name being called.
"Damien. How wonderful for us to see you here. What brings you here?" my mum asked. I felt him come closer. I quickly recover from my shock.
Without anyone noticing, I went and hide behind my mum and Olivia. I peeked and see him standing in front of my mum and Olivia.
"I went searching for Amelia, and her dad told me you guys were here." he said to my mum. Hearing that my mum smiled. I however was anything but happy.
Why was he searching for me? I did not like the idea of being near him. "May I know why you were searching for her?" my mum asked.
"The wedding rings." he said simply. "I see." my mum said. "Mia why don't you go with Damien to select the wedding rings." My mum said to me. 'No' I wanted to say. But refrained.
"B-But the d-dress?" I asked trying to escape. "We can take care of it." she said back. I couldn't come up with any idea yet.
"Can Olivia come with me please." I was pleading her with my eyes. She sighed. "Fine" she said. Thank god.
I couldn't survive with the scary man alone. I quickly took my sister and hold on to it. When I see the scary man face, there was a frown. But soon it was gone.
"Follow me." he said.
Wedding rings here we come.
