Because the thing I have always been afraid of, has just happened.
I had always knew that one day my father will force me into marriage because of stupid connections even though I hated it because I never really have a choice. But I never thought it will be immediately one week after my graduation. And it's not just marriage but an arranged marriage, being tied up with someone my whole life who I hardly know.
And also not just someone but Landon Harper.
Landon Harper is the only son of Ares Harper who is the is the president of the United States of America. Landon Harper controls and in charge of the political deals and ruling. No one actually know how he have get to that position in that young age. He is famously known as painfully handsome, heartless and cruel. He doesn't have mercy at all,he is so fearful more than the president himself. He so untouchable, not even in the slightest. That is why they call him the handsome devil.
People think being in this position is very lucky and it is the dream of many women to be in this position but I am not like them. This is bad luck not good luck for me.
"The wedding will be on Saturday" he continued coldly.
What? Saturday?
A day after tomorrow?
I don't even have time to think of a plan on how to escape this situation, even though they will immediately find me and bring me back.
"But... Father, I just graduated from university two days ago" I tried not to show weakness but my voice betrayed me.
"And that is why you are getting married soon" he said it so coldly like it is not a big deal at all.
"Why_"
"That's what was planned. Landon wanted you to graduate first before the wedding happens"
"Then why haven't you told me earlier before? Why now?" I am trying my very best to not let my tears down.
"Because you will have tried to escape it" he actually knows that I don't want this marriage but he still agreed to it anyway. To just show that he doesn't care at all about how I feel.
"But I don't want to get married now" I said confidently.
He looked away from his documents and looked at me for the first time since when I entered this room "Do you really think you have a choice?" this time he seems angrier and colder.
"But.... Father_"
"Stop arguing and just do as you are told" he snaps at me.
My eyes gets very blurry with tears but I won't let them fall. Not now, not in front of him.
I angrily jumped out of my chair and stormed towards the door and as I opened the door, I heard him called out my name which made me freeze. I really hate my name when he calls it, thank God he hardly uses it though.
"Don't do anything stupid or you will regret it"
And I am out of the room, slamming the door very hard behind me.
As I reached to my bedroom and locked the door behind me, I finally let my tears fall.
I entered my bathroom and start washing my hands on the sink as I cried harder.
I keep washing my hands over and over again like my tears are falling nonstop.
It has always been my bad habit of washing my hands so hard when I am angry or sad and I have nothing to do about it.
I kept washing my hands more harder until I realized my both palms and knuckles are all red and injured. And it hurts so badly, but not like my heart.
I cried even more harder and louder.
Why is life so unfair to me? I just wanted to live a simple single life.
A very peaceful life that it is very impossible to get when I marry Landon Harper.
But what was I expecting? Of course father will force me to marry the great Landon Harper when he gets the opportunity.
It's Landon Harper we are talking about.
I looked at my injured hand, most of my pretty nails that I just did yesterday is now all broken. Then I looked up at my reflection on the mirror seeing messed up face.
My eyes are red and swollen from the crying.
Lana, you are doomed.
