Mitchell's pov.
I sat in my room as I cry.
I can't believe they would do this to me after everything I did for them.Everything I sacrificed just for them.i gave them all that I have and even went as far as transfering all my properties including my parents , and now because they have my wealth and are living fine with them they pushed me out .
They trash me like I meant nothing,a piece of rag which worth nothing anymore
Gud! I can't blame them ,I only have myself to blame. If I had listened to my friends and family maybe ,I won't be in this mess I am, but I heed to none of their advice.
When they try to stop me, I hated them all because i thought that they don't care about my happiness.Now look where my sturborn self lead me,I will be exchange for a business deal.Just for their selfish interest,they are getting me marry to an old man ,old enough to be my father.
A 65 years old man,Dammit!.
"Gud!If only I know ,I would have listen then.Now I had nothing not even anyone to run to."
I hiccupped as tears kept gushing out of my eyes.
"Ma'am ,it time."Anna announced. I flinched and cry more after hearing her words.It happening, it really happening.
I cried harder ,knowing well enough nothing can stop the wedding now.Am truly getting marry to the old man to strengthen the business.
"Goodness ma'am !how can you ruin your makeup like this?"Anna scolded"why are you even crying? you and I know that nothing can change, even if you die from crying it wont still change their mind.They had decided and nothing can change them because they never care about you ,all the care about all this while, is your money which they needed in making themself rich and richer ,It doesn't matter what it will take.And now they have it,y here's nothing you can do.So, instead of crying, embrace it and know it a phase in life which will pass away. Who knows they might be pushing you to your promise land.You never can tell."Anna adviced.
Anna is one of the maid but to me, she is my closes ally. My best friend and my sister who's always there for me .Ever since I came into this greed and selfish family I took as my own.A family I thought loves me as much as I did.The family I never know loves only my money and not me.
Anna has always at all time stood by me ,in good and in bad.
This Richard's shitty family have three daughters ,Jane,Janet and Reina.Reina is the youngest daughter and the most beautiful among the two and not just outer beauty but inner as well.She's quite different from the family and a no nonsense person.
she doesn't have the family greed ,Cunning, Selfish and deceitful mindset.Shes outspoken, fearless , bluntal and never for once has she supby by by byby ported her family evil scheme.
I know you will be wondering why she didn't tell me about her family intention or try to stop me from writing my property off to his brother.
Well she did.She tried to stop me but something happened. What did happen? I will tell you but not today that should be a story for another day.
The other two as you might guess from their name are twins,horrible set of daughters ,as evil as their mother theressa, who is called mostly as Tessa.They are manipulative,Cunning, Selfish and greedy bastards.They can do all sort of thing just for money.
Surely,you would be shock to hear the number of men they doped and the ones the killed and do-away -with their wealths.I know right ,that's how horrible the family is.
Anyway ,I blamed myself for knowing all this and still become one of their victim, all because of my stupid love for the bastard demon son who I called my boyfriend.
I thought he was different from the family just like the last child.But I was wrong.Has a snake failed to give birth to a tall offspring? .The answer is 'NO'but I failed to understand or maybe I know but refused to acknowledge it.
All the daughters of the family are yet to be married. None is engaged or even in a serious relationship but they couldnt get any of them to marry him.
Okay ,let forget about Reina because she would never accept .but what about the other bitches twins Jane and Janet,they won't even think twice about it ,but they didn't, instead they chose me.probaby to get ride of me.
And beside, why should they pushed their perfect daughters to marry an old man .They can't possibly do that but the had the gut to arrange a marriage between the man and I
And what makes it hurt the most was the man I trusted the most ,gave everything I have including my parents property couldn't even stop them.He teamed up with them to ride of me.
I was stupid,naive and desperate for love , when he showed up I thought his the one and loved him blindly with no hesitation .
Gud!if only I would take back the hand of clock.i won't let love blind me so much to the extent of not seeing the green snake hidden in the green grass before me.
"Ma'am ,please ,let me fix you up.Can you stop crying already.it your wedding. "
"More like my ruin."I murmured. but she heard me anyway .
Before she could say anything to chastised me ,there came a knock on the door. And she left to answer it.
Anna,I wish I can be like you, always positive ,believes that there's always good out of every bad things one encounters in life.
I sign as I watched her through the mirror,she walked to the door and opened it,only for my destruction to come in.
"Baby."He called lovely.i rolled my eyes like I would fall for that again. I do love it when he calls me lhat with a sorting voice just like he did,I would find myself blushing and grinning like I won a lottery.But that was then not now.i refused to fall for his sweet tongue.
"I know that you re angry at me for not stopping the wedding from taken place, But you have to understand, am doing all this for us."I scoffed.for us ,really? which us ?does it include me.i thought but didn't speak out.
" look at the bright side, if you marry him,make him fall for you, Believe me he will transfer all his wealth to you and when he does that.Fiam!you divorce him or better still kill him and then we'll have all his money in our possession. I will wed you like you've always dream of."
Like am stupid.
I watched the shameless man through the mirror as he vomit all the nonsensical things in his mouth.'Disgusting, very disgusting.i can't believe this beast is who I fell in love with.I gave my heart to a devil.A cunning animal that ought not to live among human. '
Just watching the devilish smile on his face makes me nuiseous.i can't believe that such being exist.How did I become a victim to a shallow minded person like this.
"My love,you don't have to worry I won't let him touch you.mmmm?"he coyed.
"Say something. Okay,I understand ,you re angry at me .But trust me ,it just now,when you find out how rich he is ,you 'll thank me for sending you to him."He winks at me.
Gud! the man is irritating. I can't believe this selfish comtemptible inconsiderate arrogantly spiteful son of a bastard has been my boyfriend. A man I was planning to spend my whole live with.
A man I was ready to fight even God himself to be with.I was a fool and he must Be laughing at me all this while with his family.
"Honey,am going out now.Fixed yourself, the old fool is waiting for you.My dad will come and escort you out."
I said nothing as I continue to watch him through the mirror.
When he saw am not entertaining him or yielding to his insincere coaxing words .
he frowned.
Turn the chair I sat around and looked deep into my eyes.
"Listen here bitch.am trying to make us more richer than we have been.You better dont ruin this,You will have to get marry to him as a good girl you ought to be...don't dare ruin this for us,you should be grateful that my family and I find a man like that for you but not to worry,you belong to me.You are mine and only me have the right to touch you."He yelled. Now bringing out his real self.
"No other man.I repeat no other man can touch you ,i own everything about you."He ended staring at me and daring me to oppose his words.
Oppose his words'I scoffed. Of course if it wasn't my stupidity I won't be here.i don't blame him when I put myself into my present conditions.
"Now I will let you be"he grabbed my arms tightly .I wimpered as my face squeezed due to pain but I didn't cry."Now you gonna do as my mother has told you.Get ready my father is coming to walk you to the alter."He gawped at me before walking towards the door.
"Wait!"I called out.
He stopped.
If am going to do this I might atleast ask the question in my mind.
"Why me?Why?why am I the one getting married to him?Why is your parents forcing me to marry him, when you have three sisters who are yet to marry.?"
I saw some emotions flashed on his face but vanished before I can figure out which emotion it is.
He scoffed " What stupid question is that.You re also my sister .oh wait ,you're my girlfriend.'THEN'"he emphasised on word'then' as if to make it clear that nothing is between us again, like I don't already know .
Who will date him after knowing his real form . but why does it hurt hearing it from him? why did his word broke my heart more when I already told myself that over and over again.
Is there part of me that still want him?that part mut be a fool,a blind fool to be precise.
."But now,you're my sister and you're going to get marry to him.Remember, he should never touch you.Your whole body belongs to me."He turned to leave but stop " Try to get ride of him as soon as possible, I don't like my things staying with another. "he walked out.
"Demon" I cussed at his exiting figure.
After he left ,Anna came in."Ma'am,are you okay?"She worriedly asked.
"Yeah am fine.Get a wiper and help me clean off this makeup I don't need it."
"But ma'am Mitchell you do,your eyes are swallowed from too much crying ,you néed to apply it to hide your swolloned face expecially your dark eyes."She explained .concern written all over her face.
"It okay.i will be fine,just do what I said."
"Okay if you say so .but I still think that putting a makeup on is better for you in this condition. "
"Don't worry Anna ,I will be fine without it."
She shrugged and went ahead to carry out my order.
~
I stood in the alter with the old man I am getting marry to as the priest do the matrimonial rituals.I wasn't even in the mood to listen,so I closed my eyes and let my thought wanders.
My body is present but my mind wanders far away as different thought runs through my mind.'What if I say no in front of everyone, am sure the marriage will be cancel but am I ready to bear the consequences? Can I handle the aftermath with no money or help.Gud! if only my parents is still alife.'
I have to stop myself from thinking about my parents because the guilt of their death can never leave me.
They died trying to sAve me from destroying myself but I was foolish,I still let myself be destroyed.
Even after they died I still didn't use my head and went ahead to transfer all the possession they left under my name to a man who never felt anything for me
A man who loves money more than himself.
I let him and his family feed me with lies and fake love.Oh!how stupid and naive I have be.
"Mitchell, Do you take Raymond to be your lawful wedded husband, promise to love him in good time and in bad?"
"No,I don't "I said and I heard the people gasped.
