Chapter 1

My name is Belle,a girl who is always at home doing nothing important, always watching movies and eating my parents food,I have been living like this since I graduated my University level with some boring financial degree.

I haven't been able to find a job yet so I have been working on some online stuff as a freelancer and yeah it's quite good for passing out time.

Recently my mom has been talking to me about some guy that my dad thinks he's suitable for me to marry,I don't know what there thinking cause I don't think it's right for them to arrange some marriage for me and above all with a guy I don't know.

so today morning I woke up early as usual and went down to do some cleaning and prepared breakfast for us and when I was done with everything I went back to my room to arrange my bed and take a shower,I stayed in the bathroom for some time cause the water was so refreshing and when I was done I went ahead and searched in the closet for something to wear and I got some sweat pants with a clop top,then went to the dressing table and put on some lotion and combed my hair and styled it into a pony tail.After I was done with everything I took my phone to check on what's happening in the world and I found some messages from my friend Lydia seems she wanted us to meet today, Lydia didn't live far away from our house and we also have been sharing the same school and University so I think she might know alot of things about me and I might know hers which Leads to our strong friendship.

"Belle?"..... mom's voice calling

"yes Mom".... mom's voice sounded so excited as if she was receiving a prize or something like that.when I arrived in the dinning room I found mom and dad sitting taking break fast.

"come here sweetheart".....mom said while smiling at me.

"morning Mom,dad" "morning"....

"u guys look happy today is there something going on?" I couldn't resist from asking cause they were all looking at me with great smiles.

"come sit down my child" dad called "my daughter I think your mom has been informing you about the marriage issue,so today the man you're going to marry is ready to meet u in person so all I need from you is your cooperation and for you to prepare cause he said he'll send someone to pick u up today in the evening" he finished to say with"and you have to see him cause you will have no choice".

for the meantime I was just looking at my dad cause I don't remember if I was listening anymore,I didn't say anything about it I just nodded my head just to satisfy them cause right now I was so pissed that I didn't want them to know it cause they know me when I'm out of my head.

Time passed by and it was evening and I had not prepared myself yet cause I didn't want to see this guy I was going to meet,I had to inform Lydia that we won't be meeting today cause of what has come up I explained everything to her and her reaction was she was just laughing all the time we talked I didn't get mad cause she made me laugh with what she was imagining what will happen to me when I meet him.

when I was still in my room I heard my mom call me and I went down to meet her when I found her talking with someone in the sitting room, when she saw me she was shocked cause I was still the same as before I had not prepared myself as she wanted even if I was looking good with what I was wearing."baby why are you not ready yet?" mom asked while looking at me"mom where am I going?"I had to pretend I had forgotten about the meeting,"Belle! don't tell me you have forgotten about what we talked about this morning " oh! yes sorry my bad I think I had forgotten about it,is it happening now, but I'm not ready yet we can still do it some other day right Mom? I could see mom getting angry but she was trying to control it due to the presence of the visitor."okay mom I'll go take my phone then I'll leave"I said while going upstairs and into my room I came back with my phone and my purse then I said bye to my mom since my dad wasn't home,I left with the guy who came to pick me up and we drove off to where I didn't know and I didn't even bother to ask.
