3rd chapter

I looked at him and found him already looking at me..." Get inside" He said as he opened the door for me. I got in, I was nervous, but I didn't want him to know.

"Look I don't know what your deal with your family is but let me make mine clear" He spoke up as he continues to

drive" Well I am 23 ... I owed your father money, but he didn't have enough to pay it back so instead he... offered you."he was silent for some time before he spoke again" I need you to marry me. "

I was shocked " marry you!?"

"Yeah, marry me. Look my parents can't know that I ... bought you... So act like you know me for a long time, and you'll be my wife if not your 'poor' father will not live to see another day. "

I didn't want to admit to myself, but I still cared for my father, even after everything he did I still couldn't forget the happy moments I had with him in my childhood, and it made my heart ache, and I didn't even have anyone or anywhere else to go to,, so I was stuck with Alexander whether I like it or not so I just nodded.

"Good girl I hope you'll take this seriously" He said sternly,his voice firm and cold.

"Umm when will we get married?" I asked my curiosity getting the best of me .

"Tonight." He said casually as if it didn't bother him at all.

"Tonight!?" I asked, I thought I misheard, but he just nodded. I just couldn't understand how he was so calm about marrying a total stranger...we didn't even know each other and marriage is a serious commitment.I was lost in thought when he called out to me.

"hmm?"

"We're here" he said as he stopped the car. I was starstrucked when I saw the place it looked like something out if a movie.

"Done admiring?" he asked and I turned my attention to him.

" You have a nice place... Do you live with your parents?" I asked again curious about him.

" No I live alone, but my parents are over right now... For our wedding..." he answered.

As we entered I felt people staring at him and I . I turned my gaze to them and noticed a woman coming towards me.

She looked at Alexander, I could tell she was very happy and excited " Is she the one ?" she asked him.

"Yes mom , she's your... daughter-in-law." He said.

"Ah I can't believe my son is getting married." She looked at me " You're beautiful darling . Welcome to the family . Come I'll introduce you to your father-in-law and his sister " she said as she took my hand

"Mom you're making her uncomfortable. Let her relax" Said Alexander.

"No I am not.Am I dear?" She asked me . I felt that both Alexander and his mom were waiting for my answer.
