Chapter 2

  • Violet POV:-
  • "Embed my name deep into your soul because you can't escape me." His dark words deprived me of my energy, leaving me vulnerable. His words invoked great apprehension in my heart as I couldn't comprehend what could possibly happen to me in the future.
  • He kisses my cheeks and leaves. After he left, my numb legs gave up on me as I fell on the ground and curdled like a ball in my mum's laps.
  • Why did this happen to me....?
  • After he left I began to cry in my mother's lap. hiding my face, letting out my misery in the form of tears, showing the devastation chasing me with full speed.
  • "Why...why is this happening to me?"I asked in a low voice. I just don't know what to do. My dreams and my hope everything was crushed to pieces in an instant. One moment, and everything in my life changed on the snap of his finger. He is terrifying, doing this to me, leaving me with no choice but to marry a person I don't even know. It gives me chills to think what he could do if I refuse.
  • Mom was also crying due to the affliction just occurred,
  • "Don't cry love, everything will be alright..." My mother tried to calm me but instead it hit me like an arrow. Her tears cannot console me. In fact, nothing can.
  • "Alright? How? He was going to kill you and I couldn't do a single damn thing other than saying 'Yes'. What am I? I couldn't even do a single thing to help us!" I said exasperatedly.
  • "But..we both are alive...." he tried to reason.
  • "Yeah..with me being forced to marry the man whom I know nothing but his name...." I chuckled dryly.
  • "Everything happens for a reason...." She is still trying to be positive, knowing there's nothing that could make me feel good.
  • "I don't think so .....This is going to be nothing but an endless nightmare for me...." I whispered.
  • My mom was running her hands through my hair as I began to cry again. The heartbreak inside me is getting the best of me, I cannot hold it inside me.
  • "I am pathetic..." I sobbed.
  • "No you are not. If you weren't there, I might have died..."
  • Silence broke out between us.... We both know there's nothing left but shattered glasses of misery. In the silence which crushed me miserably, I couldn't bear the anguish inside me anymore.
  • "I am being forced into a loveless marriage..." I said in a broken voice.
  • "What?! V is getting married." I heard my nickname being called and turned to look at my younger boyish version; Kenneth, my brother, staggered upon hearing the news we received from a disaster an hour ago.
  • "Yes"
  • "No"
  • I looked at her mother who said no. I gulped knowing Mother is willing to cross every limit to make me safe but I am far too terrified to do anything which can bring harm upon my family. I don't want anything to happen to my mother or brother.
  • "No. Your sister is not going to get married." Mother said sternly.
  • "Mother...no..." I spoke in a barely audible tone. I didn't have much strength left in me as today's events are carved into her mind as a constant source of agony. His words are echoing in my mind, stirring it drastically,
  • "You will marry me. Or else say Goodbye to your mom and your beloved brother. You will become my wife using one way or another."
  • "No...mom..please...he is willing to cross every limit just to get me..." I tried to make Mother understand.
  • "Who? What are you guys talking about? Is V getting married or not? "Kenneth Interrupted.
  • "No one son. Let's go! I will serve dinner." Mother said with her usual smile as she stood up and left. After she left I also stood up and gave Kenneth shoulders a gentle squeeze,
  • "I am getting married." I said, knowing there's no escape. A person who can break into my home, he can do anything.
  • "But Mum said..." He trailed off.
  • "Don't mind her." I passed him a faint smile, trying to hide my pain. "Do you love him?" He asked innocently. My heart was torn to pieces when I heard it, bearing the crumbled dreams inside me, I nodded and stood up and left without saying another word.
  • I was amazed at Mother about how she can smile even after the havoc had just happened. I couldn't be able to speak in front of Kenneth and she kept herself together. I excused myself and went to my room to think about it with a clear mind, what could be the reason for this happening to me. He looks like an aristocratic personality, how could he possibly know a low girl like me and moreover marriage?
  • After thinking one thing is roaming in my mind, I am being forced into a loveless marriage. I just want to run. Run far far away. I feel so pathetic. I couldn't do a single thing in front of him. Overwhelmed by emotions, I let him do whatever he wants, No being able to do anything but obey is frustrating me. What I used to dream and what I get is a complete opposite. I wanted to marry a person I love, I care about not a person I have the urges to kill.
  • I closed the door behind me and locked it as I fell on the ground. I stare at the floor without any emotions. Is my life so cheap that it took a mere second to bond with some stranger? What turn my life has taken? Just yesterday I was running around the house chasing my brother because he ate my chocolates. What is mum going to do ? I know she won't let this marriage happen but I don't think it's gonna change something. I am afraid of what he could do.
  • As I was sitting like a lifeless body, my breath suddenly hitched as the truck of realization hit me. He is Raymond Smith. I suddenly remembered his name.
  • I opened my phone and Google his name ,if I recall correctly.... It was him! Of all people, him! Oh my God. Oh no...
  • Raymond Smith is one of the most successful and young business men. A billionaire, owning Smith airlines, A guy living in the air. He is a very cold man. That man said so himself,
  • "I get what I want" ..and now he wants me. What do we do? We can't fight someone as powerful as him. How in the world did he meet me? How did the thought of marrying me cross his mind? I know one thing, I am stuck in a very dire situation.
  • At night I went to Mum's room to talk to her about it,
  • "Mum..." I called her.
  • "Yes, dear" Mum mused.
  • "We can't do anything.." I said in a low voice, utterly defeated.
  • "What is it?" My mom worriedly asked why she had never seen me this weak before. I was never like this, he broke me. I hate him.
  • "Mum.. He is Raymond Smith..." I showed his biography to my mom. My mom smiled at me and said,
  • "I know who he is... but I also know my Violet, who isn't scared of anything. I am sure she isn't thinking of giving up. She must have been thinking of making him regret his decision. Am I wrong?" My mother's words suddenly encourage me. That's right! Me is me. I am not going to lose hope. I won't let him get his way, I have to break boundaries if I want to liberate myself from him. I took a deep breath and smiled and hugged her.
  • "Thanks...mum" My mum smiled and said,
  • "I know the police can't do a thing...but we can..."
  • "How?" I asked, pulling away.
  • "Wait, my love." My mum kissed my forehead as I slept with my mother.
