"What do mean I'm getting married in a year" I questioned my dad

"Yes you are the heir to this empire and you will also need an heir"

" so why can't I marry the woman of my choice dad? And do I have to marry in a year?

"Yes son I'm retiring soon and we are having more enemies ,we can't predict the future. And this lady I've arranged for you is a fine woman you will like her she's well trained and If you marry her we will be able to expand our business easier, I've already spoken to her family you will meet soon"

" Dad I can work harder, double and even more to make more fortune to expand the business, I don't like this idea of an arranged marriage,

I've always done what you want, please don't control this part of my life too" I sighed sadly

"I didn't tell you to ask for your permission, I'm telling you so you will behave yourself in front of her and besides I don't want to get you unaware when it's time, you may leave"

I looked at my dad in defeat knowing there is nothing I will say to change his mind.

"Okay dad"

"You may take the rest of the week off "

"Dad it's Saturday "

"Go have fun son"

I left and went to the gym I need to punch something to take this pressure off..I want to kill something. I can't believe my dad is taking this decision for me, I'm not really a romantic but I've always imagined the kind of woman I would marry, not too tall, I don't care about hair color, maybe soft grey eyes, full lips, funny, a little bit of an explorer, wild ,crazy, something interesting to come home too after a long bloody day.

Punching the bag was not enough , I needed something more. I decided to head out to the Shooting Gallery maybe that would help me feel better.

I picked the keys to my chevrolet silverado , Just incase i kill someone , people , it will be easier to move the body...

It's been few days since my parents told me that I didn't get the contract . Well they still don't know I over heard their conversation about selling me off for marriage,and I can't bring myself to confront them. Do my siblings know, does Susan know??? Anyways I've been sticking to my room lately , My parents think I'm still upset about losing the contract. I'm actually planning to run away..So I'm carefully packing all my things and when the house is empty I'll take my boxes down to my car, well I don't plan to leave immediately...I want to vent out my anger. It's been long since I have been out, i guess it's time I go out to the bar or something. I'll tell my parents I want to pick up and order or I want to buy a new jewelry I saw online maybe that will help me out..

I decided to dress up in a black shorts and purple bralette and matched them up with my cult gaia heels. I decided to wear my hair down , i want to look SOCIAL!!!

I went to the library hoping to meet my parents there, the house seemed to be very quiet today. I wonder were everyone is. I walked to the conference room i guess a meeting was going on cause I heard voices I decided to walk in.

'Oh you're here we were just having a little discussion,your parents traveled for a meeting, They were rushing so they asked me to let you know and they won't be back until after a week.'

"I'm stepping out to visit a friend, I'll be back much later don't keep food for me, I'll eat out"

I took the keys to my aston martin vantage, it seemed like a good match for my outfit I can't believe I'll be leaving behind my baby when I leave.

As I was driving to the bar i was having several thoughts on how and where I'll be leaving to. I don't want to go somewhere very far and new. I want somewhere close where I'm sure my parents won't bother searching for.

I was so lost in thought I didn't realize I had passed the Bar already. I had to take the next U turn to head back to the bar

Arriving the bar ,I felt nervous I've never been to a bar by myself. And honestly my parents deciding to sell me out for marriage is not a good reason. It's not like I found out I'm pregnant ( but do pregnant women drink alcohol) hmmm , I finally concluded it was a bad idea . But why I'm I still leaning against my car. I was actually lost in thoughts. Thinking about the perfect way to leave that monstrous place I call home. I need to plan my leaving well, I'm definitely not leaving empty. I'm taking everything that will allow me live in luxury. ( Oh you thought I was gonna leave my jewelry, money ,cars behind nope never, I'm filled with rage and pain and they caused it so I'm taking everything I deserve along with me I'm building a career, Making a name for my self as my remaining siblings have done in different countries, who knows maybe I'll fall in love in the process, I've always been curious about my sexuality and maybe finally I'd be able to explore it)

Just then my thoughts were interrupted by a Fine Man

' Excuse me ma'am

Well he was saying something to me but honestly I couldn't grasp a thing he said, he so damn Fine GOSH! Those full lips, sleek brown hair, fine pointed nose, and that diamond earring he's ear is pierced omg!!! I have a fetish for piercings and those eyes uh- lla - lla the way he's looking at me is enough for my legs to go jelly thank fully I'm leaning on my car.

' Sorry what did you say' I asked a bit too shyly than anticipated

' I was asking if you were planning to go in , I noticed you've been standing outside for quite sometime'

Shit!!! I've been standing here for almost 30minutes . I don't even feel like taking a drink again

' uhm, I was kind of lost in thought, I said looking a bit flushed, my mind was really imagining things right now and trust me it's a +18 in here with Mr piercings.

' hope you're fine, a pretty lady like yourself shouldn't be thinking too much'

'Yes I'm fine, I thought I needed a drink but getting here made me realize I need something more I'm in a bit of an angry mood tonight, I really want to punch someone or something'

Okay this conversation seems to be going somewhere, I'm I talking too much or not, I hope I don't scare hin away though

' woaww, he moved backwards defensively, Hope I won't get punched' he sounded a bit amused Good sign I thought

'I know a Shooting gallery close by, we should go there ,I'm sure it would help you feel better, and I could use it too its fun'

Once more I'm thinking,we just met and he's offering to take me somewhere,what if he wants to kidnap me, well what's really left of my life anyways, I need new experiences so why not.

Almost as if he heard my thoughts

' Don't worry, I won't kidnap you or rob you,you're safe'

I didn't want to think about it too much,

'Yes sure why not'
