Chapter 6

Cloudethe's POV

   After lunch we headed to my dad's study to talk about something important but what confused me is that the Alexanders are with us and so is my brother. As we entered my fathers study, my dad sat in his chair behind his mahogany table. Uncle Damon sat on the chair in front of the table on the left side while I sat on the chair placed on the right. On the other hand my brother stood behind me while Xavier doing the same just beside his father's chair.

It was silent for a minute or so making me a little nervous in the inside. All eyes was then focused on my dad when he spoke, "we would like to talk to you guys about something important." He starts making me more confused. "It it a bad news or a good news?" I decide to ask. My dad let out a sigh, "for me and your uncle it is a good one" he states. "But we don't know if it's a good one for you guys...specially to the two of you" he finishes pointing his fingers at me then to Xavier who now has a frown in his emotionless face matching mine. I then looked back to my dad then to my uncle, "what do you guys mean?" my brother ask before I could. The room then fell silent for a minute.

My dad then opened one of the drawer on his desk and took a folder out. Setting it on his desk he took a deep breath before looking at me in the eye, "this is a contract arranged by your grandparents and Xavier's" he starts. "This contract was made when me and your uncle were both around 5. Your grandparents made a contract together with Xavier's that the first born son of Damon and first born daughter of mine shall be married." he continues making me froze. I'm the first born daughter of my dad and the only daughter. That means I shall be married to uncle Damon's first born son. Which is...Xavier.

Turning to look at Xavier, I found him in the state of shock while his eyes were fixed on me. Turning back around to my father he continues, "the contract says that the marriage shall take over only when my first born daughter is at the age of 21. So Damon and I decided to let you two know about this so you can start to get to know each other and get comfortable around one another." after he finish talking the room went silent that all I can hear is my breathing. After i process everything I turned to my father, "so i'm getting married once I turn 21 to him?" I ask pointing my finger to Xavier. Both dad and uncle Damon nod their head making me shake mine.

  

How can this happen? My own marriage was already planed even before I was even born. Before my parents even meet. Standing abruptly I made my way out of my father's study. I can't believe this. Still shock I run to my room and change into some work out clothes. I need to get this anger out before I can get it out of someone.

  

Running down the stairs I make my way down the basement. Everyone went silent after noticing my presence and seeing my face. I walk towards the punching bag and began throwing punches not caring about the confused stares i'm currently getting from out men. Punch after punch. 15 minutes of punching nonstop the bag flew out of it's chain flying one feet away from me. Looks like I didn't notice my punches was hard. Scanning the room all of our men were looking at me. Standing straight I raised my brow making them all look away. Deciding a run might help I made my way out the gym.

Not caring to change I made my way to the front door. Before I could reach the door I heard footstep going down the stairs looking up I saw my dad with the Alexanders following behind together with my brother. Still not ready to talk about what was discussed half an hour ago I made my way out and began to run. Our compound is big so I don't need to go anywhere. After 10 minutes of running I was already at the back part of out property. Geez I was running that fast, it would always take me 20 minutes in a normal speed.

After taking a rest for a few minutes I made my way back. Entering the house my personal maid Ann greeted my telling me that my bath is ready. Thanking her we made our way to my room. "Are you ok Mi..Cloudethe?" She ask once she shuts the door. I answered with a simple yes then went to the bathroom to take a bath.

 Striping out my gym clothes I laid myself in the tub. The warm bubbly bath made all my muscles relax. For about an hour in the tub I rinsed my body then shampooed my hair. Wrapping my body in my towel doing the same to my hair I walk out and head to my closet. I was about to pick a jeans out when my cellphone began to ring. Taking my phone I answered the call without looking at the caller ID. "Hello?" I answer. "Hello honey. Change into something cute, Xavier will take you to where I am now." my mom says from the other line. I was about to ask why Xavier needs to take me when I have my own car but the line died. Tsk I don't know where I'm going but i'm certain in one thing. They sure are planing something. Something I sure do won't like.
