CHAPTER ONE
🌿JELENA 🌿
" Natasha is no where to be found ,what are we supposed to tell the Anderson's ? that our daughter ran away two days before the wedding ? Is that making any sense to you right now ? I heard my father's voice as it echoed in our mansion.
I froze on the spot as my mind went over the fact that tommorow was the wedding ,guests will gather round to witness the union of both families in marriage .
The Anderson's are no ordinary people ,they are considered one of the richest in the country.
What does my family have to fight against them ?
I felt anxious as I rubbed my arms in frustration .
" I'm Making sense Viktor ,of cause I'm making a lot of sense ,I don't understand why you're making a mountain out of a molehill ."
" Jelena will get married to Andrew as a substitute for Natasha " Benita spat angrily .
Benita is my stepmother and Natasha's mother .
She has never liked me considering the fact that my Dad cheated on her in the cause of their marriage , birthing me with his secretary who died during childbirth .
She considered me nothing but bad luck and has done everything in her power to prove that countless times .
" Jelena has her own life to live Benita . You know what happened to the Anderson's daughter was of a result of your daughter's carelessness" Dad said angrily.
" It was a mistake ,my Natasha cannot hurt a fly " Benita said in a defensive tone .
" Viktor you know the Anderson's . They will ruin us all if we are unable to provide a bride by tommorow ."
" Let Jelena substitute for Natasha ,after all they are sisters it's the same thing " Benita said calmly and my eyes stung with tears .
" Fine ,I will talk to Jelena . " Dad said and I bit my lower lip to stop the tears that threatened to escape my eyes as I rushed over to my room.
Life has always been unfair to me .
All my life ,I have lived under the shadows of my sister Natasha .
While she is the social butterfly ,the beautiful slender one .
With blue hazel eyes and long legs to match .
I am the wallflower ,the daughter no one noticed .
The illegitimate daughter ,the soft spoken one ,who hides under her big tops and pants .
While Natasha dated the best of men and had her face plastered around in different magazines ,as the super model that she is .
I work in marketing firm that pays me good .
Natasha and I do not share a sibling relationship , because she leaves no stone unturned to make me feel unwanted and ugly .
Andrew Anderson is one of the Biggest billionaires in the country .
A proud and ruthless business man .
He is tall and has an intimidating yet charming face.
The media recognizes them as the power couple ,they appear on the pages of magazines together and graced the tabloids in each other's arms.
Why then do I have to I have to replace her at the alter .
Andrew and I are not exactly in good terms .
I shook my head at the horrible thoughts that graced my mind .
Why did Natasha have to do this to me ?
I feel hurt and betrayed ,the fact that Dad agrees with Benita in all of this lives a deep feeling of pain in my heart .
The Anderson's have lost their daughter because of my family .
The marriage between Andrew and Natasha was supposed to bring peace and unite both families .
Natasha expressed her happiness to be tied down ,to the wealthy billionaire .
I've heard her boasting countless times about becoming a billionaires wife .
Then why did she have to run away ?
That too now when I finally felt I had my whole life figured out , I'm again pushed under her shadow .
I lay down on my bed waiting for Dad's arrival .
He did not show up that night to make his decision known to me .
My head hurt from even thinking about it .
The next morning Benita walked into my room with some girls who I recognized as make up artists .
" Good morning Benita " I greeted and she rolled her eyes.
" Here " she said throwing a dress in my direction.
" Go get dressed ,you are getting Married to Andrew in place of Natasha " she said like I won a lottery .
Like I should be grateful. I felt a lump on my throat as I stared at her in hurt .
" Where is father ? I asked camly .
" He is downstairs facing the Anderson's.Natasha's running away has caused a stir in the media .
An inside source has revealed they saw her at the airport .
" You are all your father has left , the stars are shining in your direction after all Andrew Andersson is a catch . Which man of his caliber and status will want to Marry someone like you " She asked mockingly and I refused to say a word .
I Know what she's up to . Benita has an habit of playing the victim ,she wants me to answer back at her so she can have the opportunity to hurt me further with her words .
She left the room after asking the girls to get me ready .
They dolled me up in the dress meant for my sister ,my heart squeezed in hurt and as they did my makeup ,I cried .
I was clad in her dress ,led to the alter ,to marry her man .
