On getting to the first floor, Mrs Baron turned to the right, opening the door of the first room,she ushered Lily in
"Thank you ma" Lily said smiling, bowing in a princess manner
Mrs Baron laughed
" You're so much welcome darling, I'll be downstairs,in the kitchen Incase you need anything.But for now,you go freshen up, take a cool shower and make yourself feel at home cause this is your home already"Lily faked a smile "Then come down for dinner"
"Alright" Lily said and Mrs Baron left
Lily Shut the door behind her and looked round the room,it has a beauty decor with an interior design, fluffy bed , silk blanket,pillow and soft cover. Everything screams luxury
***
Lily laid down on the bed with her hands spread on both sides. Tears began streaming down her cheek,she really hasn't gotten the chance to cry cause everything just happened in a flash, sudden marriage, husband, and the fact that didn't know her next move from here frightens her the more
Is this the happily ever after she had always wished and prayed for? In her hwike entire kifey,she had never had a close relationship with a guy,let alone have a boyfriend. What exactly did she know about being a wife, about being a good wife
She scoffed
Who exactly is she thinking if being a good wife to?.That beat?, He surely didn't look like someone who's gonna be a good husband either,so fuck that
Sh rolled her eyes
But the more she thought about it,the mire tears keep pouring down her face.
They were only married on paper, a signed contract,no intimate relationship,no bonding ties.Tgey didn't even exchanged rings,not that she cares anyways.She didn't know anything about him,neither did he.The didn't even have a proper wedding
She chuckled dryly
"My life is so messed up"she muttered
She closed her eyes and memory began gushing in
*****
"No dad,you can't just marry me off to someone I don't know"lily said almost on the verge of tears
"Yes I can, this is the only way to save the company"her dad,mr Standford said with a creased brows not minding her teary eyes
"You mean that company that has originally lost it root? daddy please I just graduated from college allow me choose my future"she said in a pleading voice
"Young lady, don't provoke me, allow you choose your future, why? so you could live some useless and wayward life?, I'm the one doing you a favour here, the Wellingtons?, one of the wealthiest family in the whole of....
"I don't give a fuck to who they are,I really don't care!!!!"lily screamed and this time, the tears were already pouring down her cheek
"Don't use that word on me again, I am your fa...
"Well if you will for once behave like a sensible father who wants the best for his child, I'll try to think about it "
He raised his hand to slap her buy stopped midst air
"Lily " Her dad shouted with anger written all over his face " I didn't come here to ask for your opinion, I'm only telling you what is bound to happen. You're getting married to Smith Wellington,and that's not a request, it's an order "
Lily looked at him with a pale face
"Old man" sh said with crossed arm placed beneath her breast" You're really never gonna love me are you? ,when will you allow me enjoy the benefits of being a daughter?" Raising her voice,she continued "Everything I've done in this whole freaking life is to please you, just so I can be that perfect daughter,but I guess you'll always see me as some random stranger. Can you please, just for once allow me make a decision for myself? I beg you " She said in a broken voice
"You're such an ungrateful Child lily,so after all we've done for you....
Lily laughed dryly
"You say what again?" She chucked dryly "All you've done for me"you know the way you say it with so much pride and who gives me the ick, cause what exactly have you don for me? And u definitely can't talk about college, cause I fuckung saw myself through college, not even for once did you come to my aid when I needed him. The hardship,the pain,the struggles,every damn thing,I went through all that alone,all by myself.All the time it just feels like I'm an helpless person with no family.And what were your words again? Oh yeah, 'a woman will always end up in the kitchen,so a girl's education does not matter'. Lily said with a scoff and rolled here eyes. "This is the 21st century for crying out loud,who still thinks like that?
" Lily you....
"Since he's a multi millionaire as you say,you can as well tell Jessie to be with him,let her enjoy the benefits of being the wife to a millionaire, she's gonna love the idea of it" Lily said with a smirk,"And fucking leave me out of it"
"Don't bring Jessie into this, she's still young and still in college,what does she know about the outside world, it's gonna be tough her
Lily's eyes widened
"Christ please "she muttered
"And yet the same girl that doesn't know anything about the outside world has made you spend a lot of money countless time in police custody,yet education matters when it comes to her?. Well my dear father,I also don't know anything about the outside world,and what do you even think I know about marriage? Can you tell me that one thing you have against me?, why hating on me this much "She said with tears streaming down her cheeks
"Well young lady you question me in my own house, and you won't talk about your sister in that manner. You live under my roof,I feed you,i cloth you,most of all I'm your father and .....
"Pft ,father my foot,cloth me you say?" She scoffed
"Lily don't push me to the wall" He said with anger written all over his face
" You're getting married to Smith Wellington"
"Getting married to someone I don't love? Dad"
"You'll learn to love him,and besides what do you need love for when there's money,plenty of it"
Noo"Lily said in a whisper, staggering back like someone who has totally lost balance
"Here's the contract paper ". Her dad said throwing a file on the bed "Both parents had signed,you only need to sign
"And what if I don't?" She asked with a shaky voice
"You wouldn't dare" He replied in a threatening voice staring daggers at her
He walked out of the room shutting the door so loudly
Lily placed her back on the wall and slowly fell to the floor running her hands through her head
"I'm done for" She said crying "I so much hate you all" She screamed
