Sasha pulled over in her parent's garage, she had received a call from her mom that she should come home and that there is something they want to tell her. She had already had a really stressful day at the office and is definitely not ready to listen to their complain about her not being married. She had already told them times without number that she will get married when the time is right, even she herself don't know when will be the right time. At twenty six, she is not even in any serious relationship, well blame it on the guys, none of them seems to be what they were at first and she is definitely not going to get into a marriage of convenience.
She stepped out of the car and walked around it to the porch, she pressed the doorbell and know her mother will complain once she opens the door to find her, she will be like 'what in the world? How many times will I tell you to step ringing the bell once you arrive here? For crying out loud Sasha you are not a stranger' she smiled and waited for it.
The door opened to reveal her mother's face, a bright blonde with light gray eyes, she is just identical to her except that she took her father's golden brown eyes, she smiled to the already frowning woman "hi mom."
"Sasha White, how many times will I tell you, stop ringing the bell, the door is always open to you" Angelica White cautioned her daughter for the one hundredth time.
Sasha smiled, she knew that was coming "can I come in?"
Angelica looked frustrated as if she was about to claw her face before hissing and walking into the house, leaving the door open for her to follow "is dad home?" Sasha asked.
"Will be soon, called to say he was delayed at the meeting. How is the company going now?"
"Great, taking everything nice and slow."
Angelica turned to look at her and Sasha sighed, she knows that look "please don't start now mom" she groaned.
"Don't start what? I'm not going to say anything. You just sit there and wait for your dad to come home" she said and walked into the kitchen.
Sasha dropped her bag on the sofa before walking into the kitchen to meet her "so, about what you want to tell me, what could that be that you can't tell me over the phone?"
"I said, wait for your dad to come home young lady. Don't put words in my mouth."
Sasha nodded and looked around the kitchen before grabbing the chopping board to cut the vegetables for her.
Nicholas settled with his family after dinner, he looked at his daughter and smiled "Sasha darling, great news."
Sasha couldn't help but smile "what news dad?"
"We received a very interesting proposal" he replied.
Sasha furrowed her brows "what proposal?"
"Now listen to me young lady, we have thought about this for a very long time and realized that you are really going to benefit from it" Angelica put in.
Sasha furrowed her brows more tightly, what are they talking about? "I don't understand."
"I know you don't" Nicolas smiled "we received a marriage proposal from the family you least expect."
Sasha frowned "marriage proposal? For who?"
"What do you mean for who? How many daughter do we have?" Angelica asked with a frown.
Sasha gave a desperate sigh "I can't believe you guys, do you really want me to get married that much that you have to accept a proposal? Mom, I have told you I will get married when the time comes."
"Well the time is now. Sweetheart believe me, if it's anybody else, I wouldn't even accept it but the young man is a man to die for. He is reliable, handsome, respected, and every inch of what you want. Trust me, I know a guy you will like when I see one and you are definitely going to like this one" Angelica smiled brightly.
Sasha gave an exasperated sigh, if there is one thing her mom can do, is to praise boys and you will end up being disappointed when you eventually meet them "I can't believe you guys."
"Honey listen to me, you do know we will always have your best interest at heart. We have already calculated everything and the odds are not against you. You will be well taken care of, you will lack nothing" Nicholas was saying.
"I don't lack anything now dad" she interrupted.
"I know, you are capable of taking care of yourself and you have made your stand in the company, I know and I'm proud of you but this, this is an opportunity to rise higher, you don't know who we are talking about here."
"Who?" She asked.
Angelica smiled "you will know when you see him" and Sasha rolled her eyes, he is even a mystery guy.
"Sweetheart listen to me, do you know that Jack and Jones contract you have had your eyes on for months?" Nicolas asked and Sasha's eyes brightened at the mention of the contract "they will get you that and more."
What the hell? Which family can get her that contract and more "dad, don't play games with me."
Nicholas chuckled "will I deceive you my daughter? I'm telling you the honest truth."
Sasha furrowed her brows "if they can get me that and more, why did they choose me to be their wife?"
"Well, according to the mother, she said they had given the son three marriage proposals and he rejected them but immediately they brought yours to him, he accepted" Angelica smiled that her daughter was chosen above all else.
He chose her at first glance? Did he know her? Or perhaps an old acquaintance? She thought.
"So, what do you say? Think about the good part sweetheart" Nicholas added.
Sasha sighed, she had always been against marriage of convenience and this here now, what is it? "First of all, I need to meet this mysterious guy, if I like him, then I will accept, and if I don't, you better forget about it."
Angelica smiled "and I tell you, you will like him."
A week has passed, and today is the day for the two families to meet. Curious, confused, excited, and a little bit worried. Those feelings kept Sasha throughout the whole week.
She was in a ride with her parents. She has a nice and scary feeling about this meeting, what if he turns out to be one of her ex who wanted to get back to her for dumping him? What if he is an old acquaintance she had refused to sleep with? Just who is he that he had to accept the proposal to marry her with just a glance?
Driving into the country home, her eyes widened, damn, she is getting married into a rich family. They have already passed the gate but was still driving past a lot of trees and flowers, everywhere was green and wow, captivating. After ten to fifteen minutes' drive, they pulled over in front of a mansion with fountains every hundred meters from the first and a lot of statues, the house looked like a fairytale palace, surrounded by a lot of greens and flowers, it's beautiful.
Sasha wowed in her mind, she was already in love with the building, a few house servants came to meet them with smiles. Angelica accepted their greetings, beaming in smile. They were led into the house and a tall beautiful woman walked up to them in gracious movement, she looked like the Queen of England and if Sasha doesn't know better, she will really believe she is.
"Welcome, welcome" she smiled to them and they was something about her that looks so familiar, her crystal blue eyes really remind her of someone, someone she doubt she would ever meet in her life again.
"Thank you" Angelica smiled and so did Nicolas.
The woman looked at her and smiled "this must be Sasha then, she is more beautiful than I expected."
Sasha smiled to the woman, what a flattering tongue, she thought "it's nice to meet you too."
The woman smiled before leading them into the sitting room, where Sasha believed she would get lost if left alone in the house. The house was huge, she mean huge, her eyes widened as she admired the decoration of the sitting room, with a chandelier that has eight to ten steps, shining brightly in the room. There were three huge portraits hanging on the hall. One was of the woman and another of a man with dark blue eyes, a brunette who she believed must be her husband. Wealth was smelling from him.
The last of the portrait was of a young man who should be at least two years older than her age, he has a pitch black hair that was relaxed on his head, shiny and wet like as if he had just stepped out of the shower, his crystal blue eyes seems to burning into hers as if the portrait was alive and he was looking at her. He had a chiseled jaw and his nose was perfectly pointed, there was a thin, sexy pink line on where his lips should have been. He looked so familiar and when it finally dawned on her, she gasped, after all, one never forgets their first love.
