Sarah
At that very moment when he grabbed my hands and yelled, I did not know what to do I simply stood there looking at him and blinking like I was a zombie. I could feel that he was hurt too much, at least his actions showed that, not sure about his mental health though.
But the question is why had he held me the way he did? Was he trying to express his pain, his sorrow and why would he not Olivia did not do the right thing she should have thought of something better, she should have spoken to him about all of this? But if she was not interested at the first place why did she even accept the marriage proposal in the first place. As much as I knew she loved this guy too at least that is what she told me last time we spoke.
I was so drowned in my thoughts that I totally forgot that he still had held my hands and was looking at me like he was trying to get some answers from me. I gently pulled my hands off his grip, but I could not as his hold was too strong. I pulled harder this time and looked straight into his eyes and that’s when he loosens his grip.
Once I could sense that the silence lasted for long, I questioned "Now what?!" When I asked that question Michael was still looking at me and giving me weird look, I ignored him.
"We can't let people know what's going on hear" Amber said. I looked at her amazed. Did she mean that? Her concern was people who should not bother at all.
"People who were supposed to know knows it, what else do you want now." I stated.
"You keep out of this" yelled Michael.
I jumped to the voice and looked at him amazed. This person seemed calm till now and suddenly this reaction. There was suddenly a deep silence again. I looked everywhere and was trying to look at something that can keep me distracted. While I was looking around, I caught a pair of eyes looking at me. I don’t know what is up with all the people in this room why were they all looking at me like I’m some weird object. I simply gave a simple smile to her and realized that is was Michael’s mother. For, my assurance I also touched my face twice to check if everything was fine, as this son and mother were looking at me like I was some bunny.
"Fine then, I think we need to call it off" Michael’s father said. Finally, some wise man spoke. This should have been decided long back why were we all so silent the whole time, looking at each other and having a blank face and some people looking at me like I was some dummy.
"No" was his Michael’s mother immediate reply. Well why was there a No now, why can’t they call of the wedding which cannot happen if not this wedding then what are they planning to do next.
" We can't do this I can't have people thinking wrong about my son" she said. Well she has a point but isn’t his son an owner of a global renown company, why should this thing even matter him and his reputation.
Also, I do not understand what's wrong with this people how there can be a wedding without the bride.
"Michael will marry Olivia's sister" his mother stated.
Where did the sister come from.???
Wait is she referring to me....
"N....."
"I don't have any problem" Amber cut me off.
What the hell!
MichaelAll this was too much for me to take in a day I have been having a roller coaster ride with all the feelings and the decisions that are being levied on me now are just way too much to be taking in. How can this be decided so early I have not yet got out of the fact that Olivia who was to marry me has left, without even my notice. She did not even spoke to me about all this. Why would she such a terrible thing to me. I never forced her for marriage I thought she too wanted this. And as for me, I wanted a life partner like her who would be least bothered about what I do and how I do.But what Is bothering me the most is why I’m I not feeling devastated I should be feeling sadder than what I feel. I should be leaving this place by now but why I’m I not able to why is this place not giving me the true emotions I should have. I was trying too hard to think what went wrong and the only thing I’m pulled back to is the thou
SarahThe moment Amber told that she wanted me to get married to Michael as a pay back for what they have done is when I realized that how odd it was to be an orphan. It was after a long time that I had this feeling of being alone. Would my parents do the same would they too ask for what Amber asked for.Yes, I did promise Amber that I'll do anything for her but not this, this was way too much to ask and I do not believe that I was trapped is such a situation where I don’t know to say yes or no.How can I marry a man who loved someone else? He was to marry my sister and now the tables turned in a way that I don’t have any route out of this damn trap. Why do I always end up being the last resort for all the damn situations. I should be the backup for Olivia every time. When she broke the master piece at Amber’s room she blamed me for that I was just 6 years old and had nothing to defend mys
Michael.All this seemed so quick that I could not get the time to even thing about it. I don’t know how to deal with this one, to make it worse Mom is getting more stubborn and that makes me feel more helpless. I always knew Mom was not happy with my decision, but this is not how she treats me.I was standing and looking at anything that could distract me from the situation is was in right now. I needed something to ground me from all the worries that had taken my life to a troll. I was looking at a distance from where I was, and I could see Sarah come out and walk to a desk and sat there looking at the skies like she was talking to the skies. After a while Mom accompanied her and I was about to walk towards them to make sure that Mom won’t convince Sarah into this marriage.The moment I started to walk towards them I saw Mom just sat next to her holding her hand and spoke nothing they looked a
Sarah.After sitting there with me for some time she stood and looked at me and spoke, “You don’t have to worry about anything everything will be taken care of.”With that statement she left with nothing to listen from my end and I was almost calmed from within and had nothing to question it seemed like all my questions were clearly answered. I had to get back to the Olivia’s room and I was not liking it but still I had no idea but to do so.Once I got in, I saw Amber there already sitting there and was waiting for me, “I was looking for you everywhere” she said, making me feel that why didn’t I run too, it would solve a lot of problems."You have to do this" Amber was telling this for the 100th time, yes not practically but it seemed like so to me. If we do not like listening to something and it is being repeated even once we feel like that has been told to
Michael."Mom please stop forcing me into something I cannot survive in" I said this thing to my mother like for I do not know how many times she is just not understanding any of this at all and was telling me how all of this was right."I'm sure that this girl is very much for you, I don't know what's the matter with you, you are doing all this because she left you mid-way, now who is suffering you or her" my mom yelled.' I don't think anyone is suffering here's My inner self stated. Wait what why?!!!! Why would I even think that way. I’m suffering I’m feeling bad. But, why do I feel calm within like all this was something that the inner me wanted to happen, the inner me? where did all this come from, I pushed that thought behind and walked towards mom."I need you the most now" I said while looking at her."I'm doing exactly that Mickey, I'm here for
Sarah.I can't believe that he agreed to marry, I was forced into this but what wrong could have happened with him. What made him accept the marriage. Was he also forced to pay back like me? Did his mother asked him to marry me to return the whole lot of favors done to him as well?Anyway who knows what made him accept this marriage but I know it I know It very well I had to pay them back and this is how they wanted me to do it, here I'm paying for the favors I had done. Hopefully they won’t ask me for anything more.My life was so different before I got dressed up for this marriage today.Back at Australia I was happily enjoying my life and the studies. I was so much into studies and I had no idea about the out wide world apart from my books and my library. Getting myself into a wedding will end all that I had before I could ask them to continue the studies at least I hope no one
MichaelIt was all done and decided some people had already left the place, thank god for that. Only a very few people were in the guests list now Vlad and Bruce's family, my family and Olivia's parents. And I made sure all the others got the legal notice to forget what had ever happen here because I did not want anyone to know about anything. As much as I wanted to get away from this, I was here all trapped, and I did not know I was not feeling so bad after from deep within.Suddenly I could see her walking down the aisle with Taylor and she was not in a proper wedding gown as well, she was dressed as bride's maid though. She had no other option but to do this, but she could have stopped this they were not even her parents unlike my mother she was not dealing with a strong person like my mother. I don't know what made her do all this she could have at least
Sarah.I was here simply to pay back for the favors that were ever done to me nothing more all this means nothing to be but just a token of appreciation for my Amber for what they did for me as much as un fair it is sounds it was true.How can I be asked to repay for the favors for the first time ever I feel sad for being an orphan I never have even once thought that I'm unlucky for not having them as I always thought that God took them away because he wanted to take care of me all by himself. Is this how he has planned to take care of me going against my own will I have to marry this person. Who was in Love with my sister how worse can life get?With all this running in my head I did not even realize that I had tears running down my cheeks and I was just standing there still like I had no soul in me.
