Chapter 1 Arranged Marriage.

Isabella

I woke up on the floor, i guess i just fell asleep after crying my eye out.

Isabella the Crawford's are arriving soon i heard my mom say from the other end of the door.

I just sighed in response

I went into my bathroom to take a quick shower, i really need to be a baker and now my father is trying his very best to ruin my life.

I stepped out of the bathroom to look for dresses that would make me hideous.

Usually am a hot dresser and i dress sassy buh not tonight

I wore a jean trouser then a mid thigh skirt on it, then I wore a shirt on it, i also picked a singlet and wore it on the shirt. I added a nerd glass.

I smiled at my self comfortably

I roughen my hair a little, perfect now i look like a mad woman

I stepped outside my room door with two different shoe legs and headed downstairs

I could hear voices, the Crawford's are definitely here

Good evening everyone, i greeted.

My dad sent me a death glare instantly followed by

What the heck are you wearing Darcy? He asked in a threatening tone.

I shrugged... Clothes I replied nonchalantly.

Pie!! i squealed as i dug into the pie on the table like an animal, everyone looked disgusted especially the arrogant lucas and that's exactly what i wanted.

I noticed a woman smiling at me.. Gosh i really need you to hate me woman... I thought in my mind.

Isn't she just wonderful, i heard her say suddenly.

My eye widened in shock.

She didn't just say that did she?

yeah she's amazing mom, i would marry her... I heard Lucas speak for the first time.

Oh my goodness this boy is an idiot.. I just want to slap him

Good evening family... I heard my sisters voice

Oh my goodness Darcy, did dad do something again and you decided to make him pay by ruining his dinner or you are actually running mad!!! She exclaimed.

I sighed defeated

Just shut up Aria, i will go get dressed and follow you now... I replied.

Sorry about this Mr and Mrs Crawford, i apologized as i headed back to my room.

Irritating them isn't going to work, but i need to get out of this marriage one way or the other.

I took another quick shower and changed into ripped high waist blue jeans and a transparent black top. I added a pair of black boot heels.

I wore my accessories and used my contact lenses, my eyes are naturally green so i use contact lenses sometimes because they draws attention.

I stepped downstairs and met everyone having dinner.

You look amazing dear, Mrs Crawford commented

Thanks ma'am, i muttered

Mr and Mrs Crawford , i apologize because i have to leave now with my sister to do some baby shopping.

The baby shopping can wait... Dad said in a command tone

With all due respect dad, this marriage is for you, it's your business deal so finalize it, i don't need to be here.. I replied dragging Aria out and planting a kiss on mom's cheeks.

Am sorry honey, she muttered and i smiled at her

I know you are hurt little sis but dad might have his reasons... Aria said as we got into the car

What other reason than me wanting to be a baker, i said as i drove off..

Mr McKenzie

Am sorry about Isabella.. I apologize to the Crawford's

It's okay peter, i understand her.. I also have a daughter remember , James said and we laughed

Well since lucas already agreed to marry her we should set the engagement date.. Vivian his wife said

Yeah what do you think Anna? I asked my wife

I know this is for her own good but it just hurts to see my daughter like this, have never seen her this sad. I know you have a nice family but i won't be a party to this, Anna replied standing up

I will go talk to her Vivian said as she followed suit

Don't worry peter all will be well, James said as we continued eating

Lucas already stood up earlier to receive a call.

Anna(Isabella's Mom)

I don't know what as gotten into peter all of a sudden, this is not the way to do things. I thought

We have been friends for 8years now Anna, is my family bad that you can't get your daughter married to my son? Vivian voice asked from behind.

Of course not, but I can't bear to see my daughter this sad and why exactly would peter make this kind of decision so fast and harshly for that matter? I asked

Well he is in a best position to answer that but I promise your daughter is safe and she will always be happy.. Vivian replied hugging me

I guess she is right, Bella hasn't really been into guys either so maybe this is her chance in love... I thought

We both disengaged from the hug

Let's head back to the table.. I said

We both walked back to the rest of the family

Soon dinner was over and we talked for a while before they decided to leave.

Peter we need to talk!! I said Immediately they left

I know you want answers and I will give them to you.. He replied pouring himself a drink

What else do you want to say peter? I mean what else can you even say?... I shouted

You don't want her to be a professional baker because of what people can say, you want her to take over your compare. For God sake just let her be!!! I added

Yes I want Bella to take over the company, I don't want her to be a Baker, I want her to live like a princess that she is Anna and I don't want to force her to get married either.

"S-Save me!" Roxanne ran desperately, pushing her body to its limits as she feared for her life. Her eyes darted across the vast woods, searching for the apparition she had seen before she took to her heels. Then she saw it, the thing which relentlessly pursued her. The shadow resembled something she had never seen before, a man, a beast, she had no idea. The only certainty she had left was the fact that it was after her. "Someone... Someone help me!" She cried. Her voice was lost in the large expanse of dried barks and wilted branches. The snowy field of thorns and the cold winds of winter seemed to swallow her entire being, almost like it choked her. Her breathing became uneven as she panted due to exhaustion, yet she couldn't stop running. Doing so would mean her end. As she dashed through the cold and snowy path, she could hear it getting closer. "Grrrrrrrrrrrr"   The sound sent shivers down her spine. She willed herself with every fiber of her being not to look behind her for the fear of what she might see. She could feel it's gaze on her, she could hear the sound of it's growl. Roxanne could sense her pursuer's nearing proximity as she fled for her life. Many questions raced through her mind, but she didn't have the luxury to answer any of them. The only thing at the forefront of her mind was survival. Fortunately for her, the falling snow had ceased, else she would have been in a much more awry state. She just had to keep her legs moving until she reached the road intersection where she would get help. Yes, help would come! She heard creaking sounds above her, from the branches of the trees behind and beside her.  The monster was pouncing on them, keeping pace with her desperate sprint. She looked around her, but the creature moved too fast for her eyes to clearly capture its movements. It was as though the beast was toying with her, playing a game it knew it would win. ~ Coming to her grandma's in the woods for Christmas after an heated argument with her mom, Roxanne has never thought she would experience something like this. "Mine" The voice roared.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
