“You may now kiss the bride” the priest announced

My body started to tremble in fear,but for the sake of the people who attended this wedding, I tried to hid it,but I think only one person is not deceived and that is the man standing in front of me,he can read me,he knows Im afraid, I looked at him and I can see in his eyes,it says “You’re Trapped”

He came closer and closer until our lips met with each other,I thought it was going to be just a smack but Hell! it wasn’t,it was very long yet passionate kiss,never thought a person like him can be sweet but ruthless at the same time.

I was Trapped,I can’t escape,there are many walls around me,many eyes watching every single movement I do, I’m not afraid of those?,but only one person who can make me tremble in fear and that is him.

“Riva! your father’s calling you” my mom said getting closer to the living room where we and my siblings are playing Truth or Dare, “Mom can I go later?,we are still playing”I answered, “Why don’t you go and tell that in front of your dad,then let’s see if he will say yes”my mom said in a sarcastic way, I stand up immediately and get my way to dad’s office,when I opened the door, I saw my father talking to someone on the phone, I knocked on the door trying to get his attention,he looked at me and signaled me to wait, “You said I must come here immediately ,yet here I am waiting??,you should’ve told me,Riva it’s a prank!!!”I chuckled at the thought,A few minutes later, “ Dad?”I said,but he only shushed me using his hands,I looked at him and wonder who is he talking to,why can’t just he end it and then talk to me,I once again seated to the swivel chair and spins it around,another minutes had passed,and thank goodness!,he’s done talking to that someone, I stopped from spinning the chair and looked at him with questioning eyes, “Me and the Leader of Ashtrovez clan had an agreement” he started, “And?” I asked confused, “You and their Eldest son will have an arrangement” He again continued, “Like what?,a blind date??”asking innocently, “Riva!,don’t joke around with me!”dad stand up and slammed the table not so hard ,but enough for me to know that he’s angry, “Daddy I was only asking,whether what kind of arrangement is it that you’re talking about” I answered him with a calm expression not wanting to show him how shocked I am, first he rubbed his forehead then spoke, “And I think I got him ,by being cute Hahahaha because his face suddenly softened after I called him Daddy and it worked” I thought , “Not an agreement of blind date Riva”he said, “ then what agreement Daddy?” I asked still acting like a four years old girl, “and there goes Riva scores!!” I shouted in my mind,my dad just blushed because of my cutenessssss, “(clears throat)so as I was saying it’s not an agreement of a blind date but an agreement to a wedding”he said ,and that part my shock face awhile ago came again and now I finally showed it, “Your kidding right dad!??” I asked not wanting to here the Yes, “ I’m not kidding Riva” he answered even though I did not hear the yes,still the answer is yes to that question, my mind is not processing right now ,it suddenly became blank , “what if I don’t want it dad?” I asked ,acting is over for now let’s be serious here my virg- wait!,am I going to say virginity!???,ughhh hell!,my dream wedding!,is over I should say not the letter V,what the hell are they selling me,but I’m still seventeen years old,I’m too young to get married!??,and what if my soon to be husband is a pervert,nor a sex addict,my body cannot handle torture?!!,what if I—I cut my words realizing all that I said,why am I thinking about sex already we’re not even newlyweds,and top question we’re not even engaged?!!,never agree to the agreement Riv!, I talked to myself, “Even if you don’t want it,Its a Yes or Yes for you” my dad answer,really!?? they are selling me, “ we are not selling you nor giving you”my dad said like being able to read what I said, “then why can’t I refuse to this agreement!??” I asked and stand up from the chair,
