Chapter 2 Do You Need An Invitation?

He had been deceived all these years. He didn't want to be made a fool of.

Out of desperation, he took out his other phone and contacted his lawyer.

Immediately the call was connected, he said in an exasperated manner. "Attorney, I need you to amend my will! I want..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his sentence, He fell to the ground with a loud thud. He realized he was slowly losing consciousness, and he could feel his life going out of him little by little.

With his last breath, he spat out with venom, "You will pay for this!"

Just like that, he was dead.

"That was close!" Mrs Samantha Davis said with great relief.

***

Three years later!

Slap!

Kelsa was awoken by a hot slap on the face and a cold water bath. She sat up right and looked up, only to see her elder sister Emily, smiling at her mischievously.

"Have you forgotten what day today is? Have you forgotten today is your wedding day? You're still sleeping by this time? God! This girl is so lazy. The entire family is relying on you. Now that you finally have the chance to elevate our status a little bit, you don't want to agree. Right? Do you want me to make things difficult for you? If you mess this up for us, you'll be out of this family for good" Her sister yelled with a heavy tone.

"Emily, why do you hate me so much? I don't remember ever offending you in any way. But the hatred you have for me is so vivid in your eyes. It's there for all to see, why? I'm your younger sister. You should be taking care of me, not selling me off to a rich family in the name of being able to join the upper class society." Kelsa argued emotionally.

"Are you actually talking back at me? Do not forget that I'm capable of giving you a beating of your life before you walk down the aisle! Of what use are you to this family if not to be used in exchange for a huge sum of money? In fact, I give you less than 30 minutes to walk out of this room and get ready for your wedding." Emily fired back angrily and walked out of the room.

Kelsa was only two years old when her father bethroted her to his best friend's son who lives abroad. She just turned 18 yesterday.

Since her father has been dead for 3 years now, her mother decided to let her get married and leave the family as quickly as possible so she and Kelsa's other siblings could have the mansion to themselves.

Kelsa had no choice. Because, it's either she gets married or lives on the street for the rest of her life. That was the condition her mother gave her.

As a result, she obliged. Because, she loved her mother dearly and she would do anything to make her mother very happy.

If getting married to a man she has never seen before, would make her mother happy, then, so be it.

Kelsa got up from bed and entered the bathroom. After taking a bath and putting on clean clothes, she walked out of the room.

When she came out, her younger sister was waiting for her. She was so happy. Yet, you could see a bit of sadness in her eyes. She was the only one who showed Kelsa true love.

"Kelsey, you are getting married today! I'm sure my brother-in-law will take very good care of you! But hey, don't forget me you know, you should call me everyday. Infact, I'll come and visit you everyday so I do not get bored in this big house."

"No problem." Kelsa replied.

She hurriedly continued after a short pause. "Besides, I do not know who I'm getting married to. Obviously, I'll be lonely for the rest of my life. You're my only source of happiness."

Lily pulled her sister to the dressing room and got her ready for marriage!

About two hours later, a very tall and handsome young man with a seriously gloomy face walked into the registry.

It was evident from his expression that he's not ready for this or probably he's being forced into agreeing to this marriage.

Kelsa walked diligently and entered the office. As always, she was quiet. It took less than 30 minutes for them to finish with the signing of the papers and formalities. Kelsa's mother, Mrs Samantha Davis, was very happy as she hugged her daughter.

"Okay! See how wonderful you look now. If you had agreed to this sooner, you and I would not have been fighting all the time." She told her daughter.

Kelsa looked up with teary eyes and asked her mother in a bewildered tone, "Are you happy now, Mum?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm happy. Of course I'm happy, I'm very happy! Why won't I? My daughter is married, for sure I am super happy!" Mrs Samantha Davis said.

Darryl walked pass the mother and daughter duo, he looked up at both mother and child before walking pass them as though they were total strangers.

He went to the parking lot and sat in his car. His personal assistant was in the front seat, waiting to start the engine "Young Master, can we leave now?"

"Wait for her, what choice do I have? Before Daddy kills me." Darryl Shaw said with a gloomy expression.

About ten minutes later, Kelsa also walked out like a lost soul with nowhere to turn.

Darryl looked up at her and roared, "Do you need an invitation?"

Kelsa walked quietly and entered the car. The car drove off in the early morning and entered a very luxurious and extravagant mansion. .

It looked like a castle. Before the car could completely come to a halt, Darryl had already walked out and stormed into the house.

Kelsa was saddened. But can you blame him?

He had been forced to marry someone he doesn't know from anywhere. When he was actually in a serious relationship.

His girlfriend had been abroad with him and he loved her dearly. Yet, his father, Mr Julian Shaw, refused to let him marry her and threatened to disown him.

His mother, Mrs Ashley Shaw, was not in good health and could not bare the pain of her only child being disowned by her own husband. So, he was forced into this marriage.

This marriage that looks like a sham from the onset. No love, not even friendship.

Kelsa followed him like a zombie.

Upon entering the building, Darryl looked at her and shouted historically, "Stay out of my way! Don't touch my stuff, and you are sleeping in the guest room."

He quickly turned after stating his point.

After taking two steps however, he turned to face Kelsa again and continued. "Oh, one last thing, know that our marriage is just on paper. I'm never going to fall in love with a desperate woman like you!"

He entered the master bedroom and locked himself up.

A maid servant went up to Kelsa and said, "Hello, Young Mistress. You're welcome! Please follow me"

She showed Kelsa the guest room that had already been neatly arranged "Young Mistress, the Young Master said this is your room, I've cleaned everything up for you."

"Thank you!" Kelsa replied.

"What's your name?" Kelsa asked with a smile on her face.

"Mavis. My name is Mavis Oscar." She replied.

"Mavis, can you please help me with my luggage in the car? I want to use my laptop. Thank you!" Kelsa kindly requested.

The maid walked out of her room and returned shortly after with a suitcase and a laptop in her hand. She immediately left after handing it over to Kelsa.
