Chapter 6

Nicholas POV

All my body was shaking and I felt like the ground should open and swallow me.I was so surprised to know that it was Mia that I had kissed.

Who would believe that Nicholas would get married to Mia, my highschool mate,if not because of what happened in school we would have dated because she was my first love then and so also Emily's best friend too. I had thought that they were no longer friends, since Emily and I got close I have never seen her talk about her and who would believe that she is the one that am getting married to and Emily would be at the altar too. I know Emily would feel betrayed because I got married without her which later turned out to be her friend but I don't really feel any remorse about it,I have always tell her that I don't love her and we can not be together but she is still giving herself freely to me there is another more issues greater than her own here I am getting married to Mia.i was still thinking that i didn't realized when someone tapped me from behind.

“Hey son! Why are you so lost?” I heard my mum's voice and jolted out of my thoughts.

“Mum…. Mum” I stammered.

“Come, let's go and greet our invited guest together” she said and that was when I knew that I was still standing at the altar meanwhile the pastor and the bride had already left.

“Why would I get married to someone that I hate now? She was my first love but right now I detest her so much. I know that I have repented but I still can't forget about the past.I thought that I had forgotten everything but it can't be easy for me to cope by being married to someone like Mia.

My mind was filled with so many thoughts while I followed my mum.

I tried to look for Mia but she was nowhere to be found while I followed my mum to greet the guest.

              Mia’s POV

I don't know that my parents really hated me so much,first of all it was an arranged marriage without my consent and now the supposed arranged marriage it's me marrying my highschool bully.

“Why would my mum arrange my marriage with Nicholas' family out of all the people in this entire world?” I thought while I walked out of the hall.

“Am I not entitled to be happy? even though am from a rich family I have never been happy since my highschool days and now am getting married to the genesis of my unhappiness, won't it be better for my parents to just use a knife and slice out my throat so I could just end it all instead of me getting more tortured before I die huh?” I thought.

I tried to look for Charlotte at least to confide in her and ask her if she still remember Nicholas from highschool because she knows all about it then and how he bullied me but she was nowhere to be found 

As I was walking,I didn't know when I staggered. The stupid wedding dress that they got for me was too long and I couldn't walk well and now combined with my predicament,I was just walking like a mad woman.

I saw a quiet place at the venue and I didn't know when I bent down and started crying, everything felt so real. I wish it was just a dream. I have already planned out my life that I would only face my job as an accountant and forget about dating or marrying so I could forget all the trauma and live a happy life but I didn't know that my parents had already been planning one behind my back just because of their own benefits.

I could stop crying,tears were just drifting out of my eyes like a running tap,I dragged the wedding gown that I was wearing to clean it as more tears kept running..

As I was crying an idea stuck into my mind immediately, and I didn't know when I stood up and rushed out. As I was running,I didn't know that my dress was stuck with something and before I knew it,I fell and I quickly stood up immediately.

I rushed back to the hall and there I found my mum. She was so happy and she was smiling at the guest while I was in pain. I can't go to my dad because I know he won't listen,but at least I know my mum might agree to whatever I have to say.

“Mum! Mum! Please come” I said and I didn't care if the people there were staring at me because of my look,I grabbed my mum's hand and dragged her out of the place.

“Mum! Please! Can't you talk to dad and both of you should end this” I said and knelt down, crying profusely.

“What is it? It is not possible anymore you are married now” she said and tried to walk out while I dragged her back in tears.

“Married? This one is not marriage! I think hell fire would be better than this, please help me from this bondage. I know that you are the only one that can help me. Can't I apply for a divorce or something immediately or can I just leave him or travel out of the country? “ I asked her.

“Mia,my daughter you know that I love you but on this I can't do anything for you. With all the things you've listed there is no way out of it. You both are married now,”she said and pushed me while she walked out.

“Sometimes I wonder if they are my real parents, how could a parent be so cruel to their child” I didn't know when I said it out loud.

As I was still crying trying to think of how to escape from the bondage that I have found myself,then I saw Charlotte.

“Charlotte!” I thought happily at least she might have an idea and I was about standing up and running to her.I saw Nicholas too following her and with the sight of Nicholas alone,I felt a sledge hammer, hammering my chest.

“Where are both of them going?” I thought.

And I stood up immediat

ely and tiptoed to follow them.
