Chapter 6 First Encounter

• Ekaterina was sure she had never felt this miserable and helpless her entire life. After agreeing to an arranged marriage for the sake of her mother's health, she was being forced to actually partake in the wedding preparations despite the fact that her father knew just how much she hated all of this.
• She sighed ironically on their way to the mall and tried not to cry as she thought over her situation. She was probably the only bride who would give anything to avoid her own wedding. What was supposed to be the most joyous occasion in any woman's life, had been transformed to something of regret due to her circumstances but she tried to assure herself that it would be alright.
• She was doing this for the right reasons and she was sure that all her sorrows would fade away once she saw her mother, healthy and active again with that warm smile on her never aging face.
