Hello dear I say softly. Hello Lucille my darling,you look excellent as always Ethan softly exclaims. We have our engagement party at 1:00 this afternoon I hope you remembered he muttered. Of course I remembered! How could I forget my dear! I exclaimed.Ethan’s face had a delightful expression.(it made me sick) I barely know this man and now I am expected to marry him.

We shall go to my family’s main mansion for the party! Ethan exclaimed. Right darling? Ethan asked while squeezing my shoulder. Of course dear! I peeped in fear. I can already see how this marriage is going to be. And I can’t even escape,it’s like a never ending nightmare. Ethan opens the door and signaled me to get into his car. S-Share a car? I stutter. Ethan smiled and leaned over, get into the damn car he whispered in my ear. Chills down my spine I swiftly get into the car. Ethan gets in and tells his driver to go to the mansion. The driver looks terrified, and went to open his mouth,he closes it. He turns on the GPS and looks back at Ethan. Ethan is staring, um Albert do you not remember how to get there? Ethan scoffed. Just drive! he yells. It’s going to be a horrible ride.

We finally arrive at the mansion and get out of the car. Ethan stops me from walking in. I’m terribly sorry for earlier I had a bad day,he used as an excuse. Don’t be sorry dear I say as I make my way into the mansion where it still getting ready. 2 hours until the party and my nerves are getting out of control. (I hate socializing) my knees lock and I lose my breath. I plan to hide during the party anyway.
