Running

**I** never saw this coming, I never thought that as a person born into this world that I was not allowed to have my own thought process, never have a choice in how my life was supposed to pen out. I mean I had no say in which man or women would come together to conceive me,in which city or town they would want to settle in to raise their future children, how many children they wanted and what big ideas and ambitions they had planned out for their future children and what sort of catastrophes such great ambitions will have on their children to be exact ME.

I mean,who would have thought things would escalate this quickly, I just was not interested in whatever plans they had for me, I did not want to be a part of it or get myself involved in anyway....but that was when I realised that i did not have a choice in this matter, it was a comply like a good girl situation or we force you to do this because we are your parents..we brought you into this world and you owe us.I did not have a choice I never did.

My parents with absolutely no regard for my feelings trying to make it seem like they want the best for me and they feel like they know what is best for me while pushing me into an arrangement just like theirs knowing very well that over three decades together in their union they still did not love each other. With this they still try to force me into the same predicament.

Why you may ask? To tell you the truth I do not know it myself. Five years ago at a family breakfast with my parents and three older siblings my parents made the announcement that there was a finalization in an arrangement between the Milton family which is mine and the Knocks family which are a powerful family affiliated to my family for generations through business and several partnerships had had some talks to what finalization it was, I was not told the specifics but my parents said it entailed a probable arranged marriage between one of the children. My two older brothers were already married so they were already out of the picture and my older sister who was five(5) years my senior was single and very beautiful I assumed she would be the one to bag this 'privilege' I mean the Knocks' were no small family. With me being the baby of the family, they were very powerful and known as powerhouses in and out of the business world.

Being associated and tied to such a family by way of marriage would set you and your entire family lineage for life and at least 10 generations to come. Even for a family as powerful as mine it would be a privilege to be associated with them by way of family (marriage).

With me being the baby of the family at nineteen years old then before all of this shenanigans would officially start I always assumed that this was not my problem and that this whole arrangement thing was sorted out and I was not to be concerned about it oh how wrong I was, I really wish I could chastise myself more for being so naive . Thinking and looking back on things I should have known,I should have seen the signs, the red flags dangling right in front of me .. But oh innocent me .. But... **NOT AGAIN**!!! **NOT** **ANYMORE**.

Getting to live my life happily for five years with no cares whatsoever about the family business that I was never involved with, just to have such news dropped Soo suddenly on my shoulders..after soo many years a news soo shocking that when it was announced i believed it was a sick joke ...till reality showed me otherwise.
