MARRIED TO HIM; THE ARRANGED MARRIAGE.

“Too much sugar!” Chris slammed his hand on the table. I rolled my eyes. Every morning in this house is war.“You know what, Chris?” I raised a brow.“I am so sick and tired of your bullshit” I was furious already.“ You always have in mind to ruin my morning. I hate you for this” I continued.“I made your tea with the exact measurements you instructed me to. You always have something to complain about” I quickly added. He stood up while gritting his teeth.“How dare you talk back at me, Aria?!” He foamed angrily. I wasn't moved at all.I took another gulp of my tea and continued. “ You know what? I just want a divorce. Furthermore, I am so tired of you and your stupid ass complaints. Using me every night like I'm some sort of your sex slave, hurting me both emotionally and physically…” I looked at him dead in the eyes. He smirked.“Lucky for you, my lawyer is working on our divorce paper” he replied and for the first time in a while, I genuinely smiled. I blamed my dad for putting m

I laid in bed digesting all what Chris had said earlier. He was right though maybe I shouldn't even be searching for a job when I already have a place in my dad's company, but at the same time, he is the reason I'm in this mess; The forced marriage.The next morning, as usual, my alarm woke me up. I yawned as I stretched. Chris was still laying there. I resisted the urge to wake him up to prepare for work. I got up to wash my face, but by the time I was back, he was already up.“Don't you have work today?” I asked. “Nope… Today's my day off” he muttered, rubbing his eyes with the back of his palms.I sat at the edge of the bed, tying my hair into a ponytail.“Anywayyyy, we should have a couple's day. We've never had one” Chris said. I raised a brow.“Whatever it is you're trying to do, it's not gonna work!” I said. He stood up and came over to the side of my bed. “See…” He breathed in.“I know I've done numerous terrible things. I am trying to make this work” he continued. He grabb

Chris phone rang. It was four in the freaking morning. Who on earth calls someone at this time?“Chris… Your phone” I mumbled with closed eyes. He picked up the phone, there were already people wailing in the background.“Could it have had anything to do with Lucas?” I thought.“Lucas is gone…” Chris's voice trailed off.“What? How come?” I was confused. How can Lucas, someone I met full of energy days ago, just die like that?“He tried to commit suicide. He was suffering from depression. He took pills, but they were able to rush him to the hospital. Sadly, he couldn't make it"I closed my eyes, digesting all what Chris had said. I know I had just met him just once, but he was a really sweet and funny guy. Occasionally, we don't even know what people are battling with until we have a deep conversation with them.“Chris… I'm sorry. May his soul find rest” I adjusted myself to him until we were just an inch apart and without saying a word, I pulled him into a hug. He hugged me even tigh

Mom drove me home and surprisingly, I wasn't expecting to meet my dad because he's a busy person, but there he was sitting on the couch watching whatever that pleased him.“You never told me I was going to meet dad,” I whispered to my mom.“I know” She laughed.“ It was a surprise. He has plenty of things to say to you” My mom added. My dad's face beamed with a small smile when he saw me. My dad hasn't changed much, just the little wrinkles on his face here and there and the gray hair. I dropped the luggage right there and breathed a sigh of relief. My mom quickly summoned one of the maids to help drag the luggage to my old room. I haven't been in this house in the past two years plus.“Heyy” I said coldly as I took a seat.“Welcome home, my pixie, "My dad with a grin.“Don't call me that. I'm twenty-five now!” I frowned, feeling disgusted already. The name pixie originally generated from Tinkerbell. It was my favorite show while growing up, so my dad used to watch it with me. At f

Before Aria's parents got there, she was already rushed to the intensive care unit because she was badly injured.“Are you the victim's parents?” The doctor asked, as Aria's mom nodded, she was panting heavily. Her dad tried as much to be calm, but he was also scared for his daughter's life.She needed an emergency brain surgery because she had intense brain injury, so her parents gave the go ahead.“Will she wake up afterward?” Her mom asked slowly. The doctor looked down and back at her.“ I can't guarantee that, ma'am. This is a 50/50 thing but even if she does make it alive, she'll experience memory loss but all the same, let's pray for her” And with that, he walked away. “I don't know what I'd do if we ever loose Aria” Her mom muttered as she collapsed her head on her husband's shoulder.“She'll be fine. Right now, she needs us to be strong for her, okay?” Aria's dad, Patrick, assured his wife, rubbing her back softly.*************CHRISTOPHER'S POINT OF VIEWThe wedding went a
