TWENTY EIGHT: Sephora

"It's already been agreed upon, you're getting married and that's settled." My father lifted two fingers, "Two weeks, you're getting married in two weeks, so prepare yourself." My dad dropped the bombshell after my return from the restroom break.

I was speechless, that soon? That's unreasonable. I felt like a pawn, like a tool in all of this. I couldn't stand for this. I'll run away, I'll show them, they can't just impose what they want and I'll follow. I have to wait and bide my time then when no one's expecting I'd make my move.

I wondered what was taking Tanya so long to reply. I really can't have this. I stormed out and headed to my office. I had to clear my head. I crashed on my chair and went through my phone. Tanya still hasn't replied so I called her.
