Unpleasant Meeting

Richard barges into the Morris family villa seething with rage.

Grandfather I have always respected your decision but I won't accept this. Richard said

You can't wake up one day and make decisions for everyone in the family just because we all try not to enrage you. It is my marriage and I will do whatever I want to do. And nobody is changing that! Not even you Grandfather!

Old man Morris hits his walking stick on the floor with anger while trying to stand up to Richard while wobbling, Ernest Morris held him up.

I have always known you to be rude but can't you see that your wife-to-be and her family are on the seat? Do you have to bring out your bad character every time? What a shame! Old man Morris hissed.

Richard turned to see the guests behind him and sat down grudgingly.

Pardon the manners of this boy, you know how youngsters have to be forced to do the right thing? Old man Morris said with a laugh…

Margareta smiled back at him and said flatteringly it is not a problem at all, we all wanted to spend our youthful days out and about, not even the most dashing and diligent young man in the whole of Luxe City can deny it…

Stacy my dear, I hope you don't mind his attitude earlier. I promise you he would be the most loving person to you, He said.

Margareta cuts in to reply in her stead, Stacy is a very calm and obedient girl, I'm very sure they like each other already…

Old man Morris claps… Since they have met each other already we would go ahead as we the elders have discussed and the wedding will be held next month.

Stacy Williams

Margareta would definitely be the death of me one day! I don't know what runs through that woman's head!

How on earth am I supposed to cope with the rumoured bad tempered and most Ill mannered person in Luxe City.

I can't believe I'm getting married at the age of 22! And what's with all the bullshit talk that we were betrothed to each other while we were in our childhood? It is more believable for her to say she took money from the Morris family in exchange for her daughter.

This mother of mine had to go as far as threatening to make the story of me being the illegitimate daughter of the Carrion's just because she knows I hate their Mafia world!

God save me from this! I exclaim in my head for the thousandth time since we got back from the marriage discussion two days ago.

Well I hope Richard would be sensible and go along with my plan of a two year marriage term because I have a whole lot of things to do with my life and career that doesn't involve a husband or a child just yet!

Although it's a good excuse to escape from the claws of Margareta and plan my life ahead… I shrugged off the thought and picked up my phone to inform my best friend Christine.

Richard Morris

Sitting in my study the thought of marriage running through my head again for the nth time.

What have I done to this Old man for him to screw me up this badly? All my cousins live their lives without interference, and this is what I get for being the only child of his beloved son!

Stacy Williams looks nothing like someone that would match up with me in the social world, her face and her is so plain!

And her money hungry mother with too much makeup on her face and her fake smile, I wonder how my grandfather didn't see through her…

Picking up my phone I called Joseph " I want to know everything about Stacy Williams in two hours". At Least that is a great way to start, I need to know my opponent…

Looking out to the garden downstairs, I so much love how my study faces outside because it helps distract my thoughts when needed.

Ding! I got a text from Joseph with Stacy's file in less than thirty minutes, with a tap I opened it to find just one page.

Was her life really that insignificant? Let's see if she can be as humble as her background.
