Today was the big day and I could just throw up. "Baby it's time," my father said as I looked in the mirror. I smoothed over my black and beige lace jumpsuit and followed my daddy. We got into the car and rode to the venue. When we arrived, my daddy gave me a pleading look before getting Asia out. He carried Asia as I walked to my spot next to Marcellus. I felt like I was giving my life to Satan. We said our vows and Marcellus put a beautiful 18ct rose gold princess cut diamond ring on my hand. He even got Asia a bracelet.

Two hours later, we were "home". I must admit Marcellus's house was nice. "Lemme show y'all where y'all rooms at," he said walking up the stairs. He showed me Asia's room first. It was pInk, white, and gold with her name on the wall. I almost cried when I saw it. We walked two doors down where my room was. It was beautiful an all black type theme with an adjoining bathroom to Asia's room. I smiled, "Thank you." He simply said, "I want y'all comfortable despite the circumstances." Asia began to cry. I fixed her a bottle and rocked her to sleep. There was a knock on the door, "Aye Zil we need to talk once you get done with Asia." I nodded my head. I really didn't wanna talk at least not now. I was tryna wrap my head around being married. When Asia fell asleep, I went to freshen up. After a quick shower, I put on a chill set from one of the boutiques we owned. I found Marcellus downstairs playing 2k. "What we need to talk about," I questioned. He paused the game, "Zil, I'm gonna get straight to the point. This marriage is for business only. I'm not ready to settle down. Don't get me wrong financially I got you and Lil mama. However I'm still gone do what I wanna do. This is an open marriage. The only time we'll be a happy family is when need be. Now tonight I'm going out and I'll see you later." I looked at him and counted to ten. "So basically it'll be like living at my daddy house," I asked. He shook his head yes. I just walked away. I knew this was gonna be bullshit
