Chapter 1

Anna POV The day of my wedding is today. I know I'm very young to get married, but there is nothing I can do about it. He had been recommended to me by my parents. When I was working as a waitress in a club, he saw me and asked me to spend a night with him. Having refused him, I had told him that I would wait for my husband and sleep with him. I thought he understood me since he did not say anything after that. A week later, my parents called me to tell me that my father's business was losing money. A person came and said he would help them with their business. However, he wanted something in return. Upon hearing that he wanted something, I was curious. My mom told me that they had offered me to him for a week. In shock, I asked her without any emotion what he said. I knew their hatred for me was intense, but I didn't expect they'd sell me. He had suggested getting married to me since he had been interested in me for more than a week. The difference in our ages is phenomenal. I am only 18 years old and he is 25. I didn't reply when they told me my wedding is only one week away. They are simply telling me what to do, not asking me for my opinion. My sister, who is two years older than me, is doing my makeup as I am getting ready for my marriage. Although she hates me, she sometimes helps me as well. Looking in the mirror, I saw a beautiful reflection of myself. I sighed. My family never forgets to remind me that I am not beautiful. I don't even have time for self-pampering. My sister came back with my parents after she did my makeup. When my mother came to me, she told me "Never say no to your husband. Never okay. Always respect him and do whatever he tells you to. Do you understand?" I flinched and said, " yes mom, I understand." "Let's go it's time for the bride entry" my sister Zara said My father took my hand in his and squeezed it harshly. I flinched in pain but said nothing. We both walked out of the room. It's just a simple church marriage. Nothing special. It's not like my parents would do anything for me. I didn't raise my eyes when we were walking toward my would-be husband. The only thing I know about him was his name, Jack Miller. Nothing more. How would I spend all my life with a stranger? We reached where he was standing. My father gave my hand in his hand and said nothing. No, take care of my daughter. Nothing. The priest started to read the vows. I didn't pay any attention to anything. Suddenly I feel pressure on my hand. I looked toward that person who squeezed my hand. He was that person who would be my husband. He is handsome. The priest again asked me "Do you Anastasia Dawson take Jack Miller as your husband" I sighed and said, "I Do". The few who were attending our marriage cheers. "You may kiss the bride" the priest announced I started to tremble when he came and pecked my lips, making everyone cheers again. Now I am Anastasia Miller from Anastasia Dawson. I hoped everything would be alright. I don't have any strength to face another rejection. After that, we went to a different part of the church where our reception would be held. Everyone came and congratulated us. It looks like everyone present here is happy except me. After a while, it was time to go to his house. My parents just hugged me to show the people that they cared about me. I walked beside my husband and sat in the backseat of the car. He was sitting beside me. The ride to his home was a blur for me. We reached his mansion. It was so huge and beautiful. We went inside the house and followed him to his room We went inside the house and followed him to his room. He didn't even talk to me or said anything to me. He locked the room and turned his attention to me. I don't know what was going to happen here. Is he going to force himself on me? Is he going to give me some time to adjust first? 'Do you think that he will spare you? He only married you because he wanted you for more than a week' my subconscious said She is right. I just have to see what is going to happen. "Sit. We have to talk about the rules." He said with a deep voice. I got startled because I was lost in my dream world. "Ok," I said with a soft voice. ------------------------------------------- Author's Note Hello guys. Hope you liked it. Till then ❤
