Anna stood in front of her dad, tears flowing down her cheek. As she yelled at him.
"Wow, Dad. Are you serious right now? You can't just marry me off like that to someone I don't know. Am not going to accept this marriage, Never Dad!
Mr. Perry stood there with a sad look on his face as he listened to his daughter. He tried calming Anna down.
"Anna, calm down okay? I know how you feel right now, but this is the only way we can raise money for your mum's surgery. Try to understand.
"I don't care Dad. We can find other ways to raise the money. Because I won't accept this marriage and that final. She screamed.
"This isn't just about your feelings. This is the only way we can save your mum. Try to understand. Mr perry sighed heavily
Anna always obeyed her dad but this time she couldn't sacrifice her happiness.
Never will I be part of this arranged marriage. You better find a way to stop it,
because I won't do it. She yelled, her voice breaking.
Her dad looked at her, his eyes sad. Am sorry Anna there is nothing I can do about it. I have agreed to the marriage. And the wedding date has been fixed and it is tomorrow.
He walks close to where Anna was sitting down and puts his hand around Anna's shoulder trying to calm her down.
"Sweetheart! You know I love you, Just do this one thing for me okay? This is the best thing for this family and your future. He is a billionaire, he is going to take good care of you, trust me. He stood up and walked out of Anna's room. Leaving Anna in tears, heartbroken and alone.
Anna went to her bathroom to have a cold shower to cool herself down. The thought of her marrying someone she doesn't love in order to get the money for her mum's surgery was unbearable. And there is nothing she can do about it.
She decided to sneak out of the house to meet her boyfriend Harry. Harry is the boy she wishes to spend the rest of her life with.
She quickly gathered the few things she will need, putting them inside a small bag.
She tried calling Harry but he didn't pick up the call. She has decided to start living with Harry. So that they can start their new life together, in a place where her dad couldn't find her.
As soon as everywhere was quiet. She opens the window of her room and jumps out. She ran as fast as she could to get a taxi to take her to Harry's house.
***
Anna arrives at Harry's house. She carried her bag inside.
"Baby! I'm home"! She called but there was no response. He is not in the sitting room or kitchen. Anna took the stairs and entered the corridor that leads to Harry's room.
As she was close to Harry's room. She began to hear obscene sounds from Harry's room. That she did not want to believe.
