Sold To The Demon

Xylan woke up the next morning to the shining rays of the sun which shone brightly on her face.

She yawned slightly as she gently rubbed her eyes trying to look for a way to pull her cutton over her face to protect her face from the schoring sun.

Her hair wasn’t a mess surprisingly because she was expecting some hair to have fallen over her face but her face was feeling very refreshed.

She stood up and then she noticed immediately she was in a car and not her usual relaxing bedroom.

“What?” She exclaimed, hitting herself to be sure she wasn’t dreaming.

She was very demented and didn’t understand what was going on. She sat properly so she could evenly access her environment. She  was so surprised to find herself in a car.

It was one of her dad’s cars,he didn’t really use this one and it was his most expensive yet.

“What is going on?” She asked the driver who was keen on the road  and acted like everything that was happening back there was none of his concern.

“I am just doing what I was told,to drive you to your new husband and by the way congratulations.” He said and continued driving.

“Don’t congratulate me,I am not getting married to anyone. Turn the car back right now.” She yelled at the driver who didn’t flinch.

“I am sorry but I can’t.” He said plainly and continued driving.

Xylanwas so lost and so confused as she tried to put the uneven puzzles together. It was then she remembered everything that happened yesterday.

About her dad wanting her to get married and she had refused the idea. Her opinion didn’t matter now and Corinne was going to make sure she got the best part of her.

She remembered being in bed all day and now this?

They actually locked her out and we’re taking her to get her married against her will.

“I can’t believe they would do that to me,” She muttered to herself as tears started gathering up at the corner of her eyes.

She was very distressed and tired,she couldn’t cry more as her eyes were already as sore as it could be.

“No,no,no,no,this can’t be happening. I am probably just stressed out and I’m just in a scary dream and nothing more.” She tried to reason to herself but it was obvious this was reality.

They knew she would not want to go willingly so they decided to set her up.

It all didn’t seem real and she didn’t want to believe this was actually happening to her.

Just then she heard her phone ring from the sofa and she picked it up.

“Good morning Xylan. I hope you are doing well?” Her dad said from the other end.

“Dad,what is going on?Is this a joke?I know it is but please stop it. It is not funny and if you want to punish me this should not be the way dad. Tell the driver to bring me back. I am not okay with this and I am not doing well.

  Why are you doing this to me?” Xylan pleaded and her voice was already breaking as she  tried not to choke on her own tears.

“I told you this is not your decision to make and I have already made up my mind. Good luck with your new life. You would be treated well over there because I got you someone good. Just to disappoint me there too because this is the best I can do for you at this point.”

“Don’t bother trying too hard to get back this your fate just subdued into it peacefully. I will call you after you have arrived there. I have made some arrangements for you which you will see as soon as you get there. The maids have been briefed on how to treat you. You are not to visit at any time you wish.” He said and the call ended without him giving her a chance to say anything.

Throughout the whole conversation his voice was as plain as hell and held no emotion.

It finally dawned on her that she was in fact not hallucinating but her dad actually locked her out.

She finally calmed down but still found it painful that had succeeded in sending her away,into somewhere she doesn’t know,someone she hasn’t seen and into a place she hasn’t seen before.

As they were moving she felt like she was losing her heart,she was far away from home now and she was now closer to the palace.

One was supposed to be overwhelming the feeling of living in a palace but it was quite different for her because she just had to result in her fate.

At this point there was nothing she could do, so she couldn’t go back and her dad had already made up his mind and there was no going back to that.

“Can you at least tell me about where I am going.” She asked the driver who turned to her and smiled.

She felt weird taking to a driver because although she wasn’t proud but this was meant to a quiet journey but she was curious about what she find at the other side.

“Well if I am not mistaken you are getting married to a prince. He’s not the type in movies as people never have good comments to give about him. I don’t really know much about him but I hope this was a little bit helpful.” He said plainly.

That was not enough for her to walk with, she still wanted to know more about that.

“What do you mean he’s not the type of prince in movies?is there something bad about him?” Shs inquired.

“Actually yes,rumors have it he has cold as possible abs he’s not his father’s son. That doesn’t mean he isn’t his biological son but he is really on his father’s bad side most of the time as he is called “The demon”
