Forceful Marriage
Alexander~
It's Friday, my family's night's out in our expensive yacht. The maids finally finished setting the table, with different delicious meals and juice at each side.
An opera music Playing melodiously.
It's been two weeks since the incident that occurred between Camille and I.
I was expecting a retaliation or a payback from her. Guess my expectations from her were too high.
"Alex." Aunt Maggie called me. She walked towards me and sat comfortably on the chair.
Dad and Pinky still inside dressing up.
"Aunt Maggie...." I called. She picked out a sheet of paper. Seems like a document of some sort.
"Where's your dad.... I believe you know we having a guest to eat with us tonight." Aunt Maggie said and handed the sheet of paper to me.
"I do, but who's the guest and what's this!" I asked referring to the paper she gave me.
"It's about you.... Your life, you will know soon enough." She said.
I placed the paper beside without reading it.
Minutes later, Dad and Pinky were done. They emerged from the inner room crossing hands.
Dad looks so weak and fragile, I wonder when he's gonna get over this unknown ailments. A huge amount of money have been spent yet no changes.
"Alexander, you are looking good." Pinky said before having her seat.
"Thank you." I replied.
Dad cleared his throat, his displeasure clearly heard in his voice, my dad may be in love but one thing certain is that he's not a fool.
He knows exactly who Pinky is.
"Am sure, we all know why we are having a nightout." Dad's weak voice called my attention.
"Seems so, except for me. Aunt Maggie said it's about me yet I wasn't informed." I said.
"I don't know what this is about too." Pinky said unconvincing.
"That's because it's a surprise, your dad and I had a discussion, it's about how to help you through your life challenges."
"And that is...." I asked.
"A marriage! You are getting married." Dad cut in.
I looked at him confused and surprised at first, thinking dad was joking but it dosent seems so.
His looks tells it all.
"Wait.... God, this shit is funny. Are you telling me you have proposed a marriage on my behalf without my consent." I questioned.
"Yes, it's exactly that." Aunt Maggie replied.
"You have got to be kidding me!!" I shouted and slammed the table loud.
"You have no right here, and you dare not raise your voice on me." Dad shouted which got me scared.
First time, this will be the first time dad would shout like that ever since I turned 18, and it scares the hell outta me.
One thing I fear most in this world.... Is dad scolding me-- because, the way he scolds me is just so Despicable. I don't want to think about the past atleast for now.
"You are getting married and that's final, tell them to come in." Dad ordered Aunt Maggie, everywhere silent and calm as the sea.
Aunt Maggie left the room and opened the door which led to the corridor.
She comes back with a girl and uncle Mack neatly dressed in his suit.
"Uncle Mack, do you know about this...." Something stopped me. The sight of the face I see made me realise what's happening now.
"Hi, Alexander. Nice to meet you again." She said.
Camille.... This was all her. She planned it all.
~Camille~
Although I had a lot of difficulties like threatening dad and turning deaf ears to Rhoda's advice. what's important is that am finally getting married to Alexander.
Just hope it actually works out.
"I can see where this all going to now, Uncle Mack how could you." Alexander said feeling so bittered.
"Am sorry Alexander but am left with no choice, she's the only child I have." Dad said.
"Attention everyone." Alex's dad called our attention. "As you all know that tonight is one of the important moment in this family, A marriage contract between Alexander my son and Mack's daughter Camille, let's behave ourselves and plan their wedding.."
"Don't give me that crap father... What exactly do you mean? Marriage what?! You have to be kidding me." Alex challenged his father.
"You heard me loud and clear, am tired of this your immoral behaviours. You are my son, the only heir I have it's time you start acting that way and take responsibilities and that's your marriage first." His dad explained with a loud voice. Despite the fact that he looks so weak.
"He's right Alex... Your dad has spoken and you have no right to say no." His Aunt added.
"And what If I say no.... What happens?"
"Then you lose your right to all my fortune and properties." His father said. In an instant his face Changed and it seems luck is finally getting on my side.
"You are threatening me to do your bidding." Alex said, he looks hurt and betrayed.
"Am only telling you to do what's right, get married and become powerful. I know it's all you ever want." His dad said.
"I see, you want me to start taking responsibilities? I will. I will get married to Camille On one condition let me talk to her private first.... I need to know what she thinks."
"That's not a problem, let's excuse them
His Aunt instructed and everyone left the room.
He sat on his chair looking at me.
"I underestimated you."
"Really?? Did you??" I asked rhetorically.
"I get it you want me but most you go this far? Must you force yourself on me?"
"I told you I will do anything to make you fall in love with me." I replied well prepared.
"You will do anything to make me fall for you, I get that but are you ready to take responsibilities, bear the consequences?"
I laughed. "There's no consequence, it's just you and me, Alex."
"You don't know the half of it, since you are really determined. Let's get married." He said and I looked at him surprised.
"You said??..."
"I said let's get married Camille, just know this is the beginning and once you are mine you are mine forever. No matter what you can't leave me." He said and it brought million questions in my head.
What does he mean??
'Once you are mine, you are mine forever. No matter what you can't leave me.' those words ran through my head once again.
It dosent seems like what Alexander would say.
Seems like he has an hidden motive.
What's he planning?
