Sour Taste of Selene (Sour Series 1) [Completed]

02 : Change

CHAPTER 2
Change

I furiously walk rushing to the door of our house, how could some parents or a human in a right mind would sell their own daughter for the sake of that fcking business. It is my life at sake, I can't take it anymore, I allowed them to limit me and control me in everything but not this. I was secretly cursing them in that party.

All the words they said are still in my mind, still playing one by one.

I was walking to them from the comfort room when I heard them planning about something, when they saw me coming my mother  instantly introduced me to a man, a dashing man in her black suit looks expensive and not like the others, he looks more rich and more powerful than us. I think I saw him somewhere in a magazine.

"Hija, this is Mr. Vron Herrera of Herrera Group of Companies." The reason  why I saw him in a magazine, he's the owner of the successful businesses like hardwares and hotels here in Luzon and I heard they are starting their business in Visayas, their business is really expanding in the whole country and even outside the country.

"I heard about you a lot, it's good to see you in front of me, Sir." I smile at him sweetly, the smile of being proud even  you don't know what's going on but you're glad that you saw and talk to someone that has a higher position than your family, it is a nice feeling. The emotion I am showing are natural with him.

"So your parents are telling the truth that you're really this business minded woman" I laughed a bit with that, maybe I am already used with the lies.

"I told you, so we have a closed deal?" I was happy with the words I heard, a closed deal with a known person? It will really help our business to grow and maybe because of this deal  I will finally have the freedom just because of the final success of my family? Now I am excited with that.

"When is the wedding then?" naguluhan ako sa mga salitang sumunod... wedding? Who?

"What wedding?" I asked as the possible thoughts came to my mind.

"Yours, hija, we made a deal that you will marry his youngest son when you are finally 18." My smile changed at that. Ang biglaang pagkunot ng aking noo ay hindi na kataka taka para sa kanila. In a snap before my tears started to fell down I walked out of the place.

All I ever wished is a true freedom, why is it like this? Why did you allow this to happen? I look up to the sky to stop the tears and calm myself by talking to him. Is this really the life I would encounter to?

We never talked about this kind of deal and hearing those words are really shocking for me.

I heard the voice of my angry mother before she came near me, I ran to our car. I never cried the whole ride back to the mansion. I was cursing my life the whole ride, I even planned to leave the house but I knew it wouldn't help me, anong alam ko sa labas ng bayang ito, all I know is how I would interact with the high profiles, how I will close a deal and how business works. Kahit ang pagluluto at ibang gawain ay hindi ko alam.

My mind is telling me that they all planned this, hindi ako tinuruan ng kahit ano para hindi ako makaalis sa kanila. How can I  live a life without anyone guiding me?

Kaharap ko si mommy ngayon, the anger in her eyes are very evident at kung hindi kasing tindi ng galit ko ang kaniya ay baka nagpatianod na ko sa gusto niya. This is the mother who they looked up to because they only thought they raised a very well child whose matured enough to handle their business at the young age.
