RHEA POV

I sat in front of the mirror, staring at myself blankly, I was void of emotions and I felt empty.

It's three days to the wedding and I felt more sad than ever, it's supposed to be my happiest day but how can it be when I was forced into this. 

After what happened that day, I felt horrible having these people as my family. 

FLASHBACK 

After I hit my head from the push, I slipped into unconsciousness and woke up several hours later.

I trued standing up but I was restricted, I frowned my face I confusion and looked around. 

I was tied to my bed and myself called father and his wife were sitting in front of me.

I looked further and saw Rachel standing with a paper in her hand and a wide smirk on her face.

" What are you guys doing in my room? Why am I tied up?" I asked fearfully but I was ignored. 

" Answer me!" I screamed clearly frustrated from thier silence and the creepy looks they were giving me. 

Rachel laughed out loud and walked towards me, " How does it feels to be tied up like you are meant to be?" She asked with a sneer while I just stared at her with hatred.

" What the hell do you want from me?" I asked.

" What else, you would be getting married to Mr Rodriguez and there's nothing you can do!" Stella replied happily. 

" What the hell do you mean by that! I would not be getting married to anyone and there's nothing you or anyone can do about it!" I shouted in anger.

If only looks could kill.

" Well too bad cause your thumbprint on this contract states that you agreed to get married to him or else your mother would be arrested and sent to prison for life" Rachel said sarcastically with a wide smirk on her face.

My eyes went wide as saucers, what do they mean?.

" What are you talking about! I never thumbprinted anything" I asked curiously, fear was slowly starting to seep in my mind and I felt myself going insane. 

" Well, technically we pressed your thumb on it but what evidence do you have to prove that!" Stella replied. 

My heart skipped a beat and tears slipped out of my eyes.

" Awwwn, poor baby needs her mama" they jeered and bursted out in in laughter clearly mocking me.

My eyes became misty with tears and I turned towards my father.

" Don't look at him like that, after everything he has done for you, can't you repay him with this small thing! What an ungrateful child!" Stella admonished and i laughed dryly.

" If I get married to him, I won't owe you anything anymore neither would we still be family!" I muttered still looking at my father.

" I would get married to him, you can let me go now. At least I can't run away from you!" I surrendered in tears.

" That's much better" Rachel replied and walked closer to me as if she wanted to cut the ropes that are binding me.

" Oops!" She muttered smiling, instead of cutting the ropes, she had cut my arm instead. 

" What the hell are you doing " my da.., no, Mr Madriguez shouted worriedly and I rolled.my eyes but winced immediately at the pain from my cut.

" I'm sorry dad, my hand slipped while trying to cut the rope so I accidentally cut her arm" she lied through gritted teeths. 

" Don't let that happen again, release her now! If you get her injured, how do you want us to be able to face her husband’s family if they find out that she was injured by us!" He shouted scolding Rachel and I bit my lips angrily. 

He moved closer to me and quickly untied the ropes, I tried moving my hands but winced when I felt pain shooting in my arm.

I rolled on the bed and pushed my head into my pillow while I cried my eyes out.

I soon heard footsteps and the sound of the door slamming shut.

FLASHBACK ENDS

I stared at myself with hatred in the fitting room, ' How did my life become this!' I thought sadly. 

I was brought to a wedding gowns store today to try out wedding gowns.

If only this wedding wasn't forced then maybe it would have been a happy day for me.

I miss my mom.

" How long are you going to take to get her in that dress!" I heard Stella shouting from outside the fitting room and I looked around to see the workers staring at me emotionally like they understood what I was going through.

" This gown looks beautiful on you ma'am, don't think too much about anything. Everything is going to be fine" one of them muttered trying to cheer me up and I forced out a smile and nodded my head sniffing back the tears.

I stood up and the curtain was raised, I stepped out to see Stella and Rachel sitting impatiently. 

" Hmm, if only this gown was on someone beautiful and not an ugly duckling like you then it would have been better!" Stella said spitefully while Rachel laughed.

" I'm pretty sure if it was on me, it would have been better, what do you think mom?" Rachel asked her mother curiously. 

It was obvious they were trying to mock me, I rolled my eyes ignoring both mother and child.

I turned to the workers, " we would be taking this one" I muttered smiling lightly which she returned.

" Hey, who asked you to decide yourself!" Rachel shouted after me as I walked to go get changed to my clothes but i ignored her making her more furious but I could hear her mother calming her down and I snorted. 

After changing into my clothes, one of the staffs walked to me and gestured that she wanted to tell me something. 

I nodded for her to say what she wanted to talk about but she gestured for me to bend towards her.

I bent down to her height and she whispered in my ear making my eyes widen in shock.

The report confirmed Rachel’s condition was legitimate, yet I couldn’t help but feel something wasn’t quite right.The thought of Rhea refusing to help her own sister baffled me. It didn’t fit the kind, compassionate woman I assumed her to be.“Are you sure this report is accurate?” I demanded of the guard, holding the piece of paper out to him. “How is it possible that Rhea, my own wife, would refuse to help her own sister?”The guard shifted uncomfortably under my intense gaze. “Yes, sir. We confirmed the results with the hospital. Rachel claims that Rhea cursed her rather than offer her assistance.”“Cursed?” I scoffed, my disbelief evident in my tone. “That’s preposterous.“I want Rachel in my office, now!” I barked, my patience worn thin.Minutes later, the door to my office opened and Rachel stumbled in, her face a mask of feigned weakness.“Emiliano,”

    EMILIANO'S POV She smiled smugly, catwalking towards me. I sat back and stared at her in disgust. " Speak up or leave my presence!" I commanded, staring down at my computer. " Relax brother in law. You don't have to be so cold to me!" I glared at her, and she kept her mouth shut. " Well, what I want to talk to you about is very vital to you, I wouldn't want you to be cheated by my sister," she said pitifully, and I frowned. She took a peek at me to see my reaction before she began sniffing. " You don't know, my sister took my place to get married to you! I was supposed to be the one married to you!" She revealed tearfully, and I stared at her blankly. " Is that the important thing you have to tell me?" I asked, feeling disgusted about her behaviour.

    He looked like he was trying to recollect, and then his face brightened up like he remembered what he was thinking about." I do remember what happened two days ago," he spoke up, and I sighed in relief. " Quick, tell me what I need to know. Do you also know why there was a power outage?" I asked nervously, and he nodded. "Well..."" Well, 2 nights ago, the boss went out with his friends, and they drank to stupor.We were on our way to the reserved hotel when he suddenly told me to drive home so I could pick up some documents. When we got home, he stayed back in the car, and as I stepped in, the lights went off. I went to check what was wrong but couldn't find any, so I called an electrician. He hurried over and fixed it." He revealed, and I frowned. The information he just provided is not valid.' If he stayed back in the car, then who came into my room?' I thought my frown deepened, and I sighed heavily." Ma'am?"
