Alec’s pov;

“Kill him now and kill his family while you’re at it.” I said without hesitation

The man that was tied up to a chair in one of my warehouses stared at me with fear istening in his. I turned around fastening the buttons on my suit and walked off. The echoes of his screams were gut wrenching to those who were not used to it.

I walked out of the warehouse and walked towards my car.

I opened the door and jumped in unbottoning by blazer to allow me to breathe. I sat in silence for a while just needing a break however my thoughts were rudely interrupted when my phone began to ring. I looked down and saw that it said ‘Mother’ I held my breath and turned my phone off,praying inwardly she wouldn’t call back.

Don’t get me wrong I love her but she’s too motherly and too overprotective for my liking.

My phone started ringing and the same name appeared, I ran my hand over my fave and picked up the phone.

“Yes mother”

“Finally I thought you’d never pick up! You need to come home immediately we have something we need to tell you”

“Can this just not wait for another time ?”

“No”

“I’ll be there in five”

“Love yo-“

I put the phone down and turned on the engine. I drove off going round bends and past woodland areas until I got into the big city where there were bustles of people and cars.

I pulled up to my parents house,got out the car,locked it and walked inside. I saw my mother and father sitting there with a random girl with brown luscious locks of hair.

She looked up at me and gave me a sad,small smile in return I just looked at her puzzled.

I sat down furthest away from everyone.

“ Thank you for coming in such short notice” my mother sort of quivered.

“So what is it” I did not have time for this today.

“ well a few years ago and by a few I mean twenty we met another family who belong to this lovely girl right here” my mother continued to ramble and I just stared at the young girl who kept her head down,not looking at me even once.

I zoned back into reality at the worst possible time.

“You’re marrying her in a few days” my mother said smiling at me

“No”

“No? You don’t say no you say yes and get it over and done with” my fathers stern voice would scare the sternest of men but I just find it laughable at this point.

I got up and walked into the back garden and sat on the swing I used to play on all the time.

Iana (eye-ana) pov:

I looked up and saw Alec storming out of the room. I looked at his parents and apologised even though I did nothing wrong

“Don’t apologise darling you’ve done nothing he just has to learn he can’t always get his own way” his mother said softly

“ maybe I should go speak to him” I asked rather than told

“That’d be brilliant”

I wandered off and was this house huge I felt like I was in a maze . After a little exploring I found the door that led to outside and saw him sitting in the swing. Don’t get me wrong I do think that he’s handsome,but this isn’t what I want. Arranged marriages aren’t my style,the only reason I’m doing this is so my family can stay afloat with their stupid business,they care more about that than me.

I slowly walked outside,taking in the breathtaking view that was before me. I reached him and held my breath, I know how he feels about this.

“ Hi”

He didn’t say anything so I stood in silence for a little while. I sat down next to him on the ground of course I can’t sit on his lap.

Up close he was even more handsome and I could see his defined muscles through his shirt.

“ Are you just gonna sit there and stare at me all day ?”

I only just realised that I was full on gawking oops.

“Sorry”

Another awkward silence.

“You’re a brilliant conversationalist aren’t you”

He turned at me and gave me a dirty look

“ I don’t get it, what’s your problem with me?”

“I don’t have one”

“ yeah because you aren’t acting like a full on arse are you ?”

What was this guys problem I’m trying to be nice to him. Cunt.

I get up and walk off

“Where are you going”

This garden was absolutely beautiful,his parents are so lucky to live here. They’re so lucky to be able to live this kind of lifestyle. Sad memories flashed into my head as I remember the painful thoughts of my childhood.

I came across a small pond with all types of fish in it. Lily pads were on top of the water and cherry blossom leaves were floating in the wind. It was so peaceful.

“ Why did you ignore me”

Emphasise the word ‘was’

I rolled my eyes and turned round to him.

“ I’m not exactly getting any answers from you so why should I give you one?”

“Because I say so”

“Right whatever princess”

“Drop the attitude” he said his voice becoming stern

“ God it’s a joke lighten up”

I think his things is awkward silences because guess what there was another. Surprising I know.

“Why did you agree to this marriage?” He asked staring at me.

“I didn’t I’m not doing this for me I’m doing it because without this marriage my family’s business wouldn’t exist and we’d be living on the street,that’s why”

“ Oh”

That’s all he managed to say.

“Look I’m just gonna go” I walked off in the direction of his house hoping I could get out of here as soon as possible. I heard a person walking behind me and instead of carrying on walking I turned around and smacked right bang into what felt like a wall.

“Ow”

“Sorry” he said taking a step back from me.

“What’s up?”

“Nothing just felt like coming inside”

“Okay?”

I carried on walking towards the house.

I gathered all my stuff up and thanked his parents for letting me come round and walked out the house letting out a breath. Thank god.

Just as I was about to leave this drive a person grabs hold of my wrist.

I turned around and saw who it was.

“Where are you going ?”

“Home?”

“I’ll help you “

“Help”

“ I’ll agree to the marriage but there’s some things that I wanna go over before we have the wedding”

“Okay”
