THIS ISN'T LOVE

Melanie o'Brien shut her mouth immediately she immediately blamed her self for trying to reason with the young master . and plus she had promised him 10 years ago that she would give him Sofia once she turn 19 . all this time he didn't check up on them but she still received the money for Sofia's experiences and she thought maybe it was the money from Edgar's insurance money Sofia's father , she thought the young master forgot the promise and would be married by now

" get her ready in a period of less than a week the wedding is happening " LUCAS spoke to the lady who seemed to be arguing with her thoughts

" ye....ye...yes young master " she stuttered as she replied

without any other words the men got up and left

melanie was left with echoes in her head not knowing how to tell her niece she cried out in desperation because she was leading her brother's only daughter to the lion's mouth . the biggest reason to why LUCAS was obssessed with Sofia was unknown melanie kept on wondering what it was .

" Auntie , am home , am really sorry for not coming home last night I was with denise and she told me to go with her to this party " sofia spoke giving her auntie a tight hug from behind

" Auntie are you mad at me " sofia mummered again as she didn't get her answer the first time

" no, my dear am not mad and will never be" she spoke with a shaky voice and faint smile

" auntie is everything okay " she asked

" ah yes yes am fine I was cutting onions , that's fine the good thing your home safe and sound " she spoke trying to March up her daily voice

" auntie , I know you been crying " sofia spoke holding her auntie's face in her tiny hands

and with that melanie just let it flow

" am sorry, my baby " melanie spoke while crying

" sorry !!??, for what auntie " Sofia was so baffled

" your alliance has already been made " melanie spoke looking through the window avoiding her niece's gaze

sofia froze in place and immediately got cramps from what she heard

" wha..what" she stuttered to speak

" the man who asked for your hand waited for 10 long years for you , so get ready the wedding is in a week " melanie finished her statement as she walked out to the living room

" a week " sofia was stunned on how fast it was happening she was still processing that fact the she had an alliance and now she was getting married in a week

" am really sorry my dear" melanie apologised she also didn't want this to happen

" sorry , you are sorry , you had no right to accept the alliance , you have not right " sofia SPOKE in frustration

" you this I wanted this huh, sofia" melanie SPOKE she could feel sofia put all the blame on her and didn't blame her

" yes ... because all this time you have seem me as a bargain item" she spoke again crying

" you always wanted to gain what you lost all these year taking care of me " as sofia finished her sentence melanie slapped her

" dont say that I wanted to gain , you know how much I love you baby" melanie spoke walking towards her as she held her cheek

" love , is this love to you , forcing me into a marriage , slapping me " sofia shouted at her auntie.

" if I had the power I wouldn't have accepted it "

melanie tried to reason out but Sofia was to angry to listen

she ran to her room and sobbed in her pillow
