CHAPTER 6- I Will Marry Him

“What?”

The word just came out of my mouth before I could catch it. The laptop fell to the ground and there was silence as I kept staring at the person in front of me. The presence of this person was so strong that my world seemed so tiny.

“What do you mean I should marry you?”

My heart was beating hard against my ribs. I felt like I was going to pass out. My heart was racing and my feet felt like they were slipping.

The man with the grey eyes did not even look surprised. He just stood there. He seemed like someone who had already made up his mind. He was handsome but scary. His black suit was tailored to fit him and looked expensive.

Sebastian Sterling.

He turned to my father slowly. His face was completely blank, so I had no idea what he was thinking.

“I’ll give you three days,” He said smoothly. “Three days to hand her over to me.”

I couldn't breathe.

“ We’ll have a court wedding,” he continued, his tone wicked. “She’ll sign the marriage agreement. After that, the debt is settled.”

Marriage.

Agreement.

Debt.

The words hit me all at once and took my breath away.

"I do not repeat myself.” he said and he looked at me for a moment. "If she is not ready in three days then your life will not be the only thing that you will lose.”

Then he walked away.

Just like that.

His men followed behind him.

The world just stopped moving. I could feel my ears ringing loudly.

Mrs Marian’s voice cut through the air.

“Go to your room. Start packing your things. You will be leaving this house in three days.”

That was it.

I fell to my knees. The shock I was feeling finally turned into pain. I started crying. Tears ran down my face as I held my knees.

"Mum " I said, my voice shaking. "You are really going to let some stranger take me away like that? It feels like I mean nothing to you. It feels like you think I am worthless, like something you can throw away.”

Her face was empty of emotion.

“You do not even know what he is going to do to me. I have dreams. I have plans, Mum.

My hands were shaking really badly as I picked up the laptop.

“I came to show you. I passed my tests. I got a full scholarship to study Neurosurgery at Columbia University.”I said

My voice was shaking with hope.

“I worked hard on this. Please… just look at it.”

She did not even look at the laptop.

"Stop it, Zara," she said firmly. "Why do you always think of yourself? You are selfish.”

The word really hit me like a slap.

Selfish.

“Your father owes a debt, can you not see that?” He was beaten badly almost to death. The scholarship you have is not going to make a difference because nothing good will come from you. So you should stop pretending like the scholarship is something.”

My chest felt like something heavy was on top of it and I could hardly breathe.

"Get your shit together and pack your bags " she said. “You owe this family. This family took care of you for twenty-two years when your goddamn parents abandoned you. Now you need to pay this family back.”

I looked at her. My eyes blurry

I turned to my father slowly. He looked battered and had bruises.

He couldn’t look at me.

His face showed pity, regret. He did not say a word. He just did not do anything.

I wiped away my tears with my hands.

I went straight to my room. I shut the door behind me and cried. I thought about my parents, my life, and the grey-eyed man.

The next morning I heard loud voices, they woke me from sleep.

I walked quietly into the hallways and stepped into it without making a sound.

Lila was standing by the door. She had a travel box next to her. Dad and mom were hovering around Lila and they seemed anxious about something.

"Lila, please " Dad begged. “Do not go,".

She scoffed

"You’re in debt, Dad,” she said in an angry voice. "I don’t want to get killed because you’ve become poor."

Mrs Marian started crying. She grabbed her arm.

"I am your mother". She cried. “I gave birth to you. Zara is getting married to him. Everything will be fine.”

Lila pulled her arm away in disgust.

"Stop touching my coach travel box." She hissed. "You will ruin it.”

Then she walked out.

I stood there, my chest heavy.

If I were the one leaving, would they be begging like this?

I already knew the answer to the question.

I went back to my room quietly.

I took my clothes off slowly. Walked into the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. My breasts were really full and big. I had these wide pink nipples. I put my hands under them gently feeling how much they weighed.

My eyes looked down. I saw how small my waist is and then I looked at my wide and curvy hips. I turned a little to the side and saw my very big and juicy ass. I couldn’t help but wiggle my ass cheeks.

Then I bent forward a bit. My legs were close together so I moved them apart and looked at the mirror.

There it was: my pussy, completely smooth and hairless, the outer lips were plump and soft. I parted my thighs more, and the inner folds came into view: delicate, glistening pink, untouched and innocent. Not a single finger has ever been inside me. It looked so… pure.

Then I showered and got dressed. Went downstairs again.

My parents were sitting on the couch, Mum was cleaning Dad’s wounds. They looked really broken and they were completely exhausted.

I stood in front of them, my heart beating very loudly.

“I am going to marry him.”

The two people looked up. They were really shocked.

"This will serve as a tie " I said quietly. “I have paid back what I owe you. I do not owe you anything anymore.”

My mother did not say anything.

My father's eyes got all teary.

I walked away and went to Maya’s house so I could return her laptop and for consolation.

In three days, my life will not be mine anymore. My life will be completely different and I will be married to a man I barely know
