The Marriage.
Alicia Cara sat down staring at the mirror as the makeup artist did thier magic. She was managing to put a little smile on her face since she did not like to shear her problem with strangers.
There was a knock on the door which was immediately answered by one of the artists.
"Welcome sir "
" where is my beautiful daughter? "
A man in his late fifties asked as he walked into the room. Batty Cara one of the richest business man in the state. He was dressed in a black expensive suit, all ready for the big day.
"oh baby girl, you look so beautiful " Mr Cara cooned as he walked fully into the room.
Alicia behaved like he wasn't talking to her and she continued staring at the mirror.
"give us some minutes " He commanded the workers who obeyed immediately.
Mr Cara sighed. " when will you stop the silent treatment " He asked as he walked closer to his daughter.
Alicia then immediately have an interest in her newly fixed nails. She was staring at it like her life depends on it.
"I know you are nervous about the marriage. It's going to be great, trust me " Mr Cara cooned. He had been the only one taking care of his daughter since his wife's death. He is sure he knows what is best for her.
"great? " Alicia asked in a shaky voice as if she was about to cry. " how great is it to marry a man who I barely know. What if he didn't like me, what if he had a dream wife, what if..."
Mr Cara laughed caughting his daughter off. " stop what if...ing. I'm sure he is going to love you. You are beautiful you know "
Alicia sniffed and continued to stare at her nails. " I thought marriage is not just about beauty " she muttered to herself.
"This is your big day, don't cry and ruin your makeup " Mr Cara said. "don't worry about the marriage, it's going to be alright, he is going to love and you are going to learn to love him. Just like I and your mother "
He kissed her on her head and walked out of the room.
Alicia sat down blinking her eyes rapidly to stop the tears from pouring. Of course her parent marrage are arranged but what if she wasn't as lucky as her parents.
She just hope that this is not the worst mistake of her life. She hope they learn to love each other.

Michael Morgan stood on the halter waiting for his ' beautiful wife ' to show up. The cold expression on his face could make a sea turn to solid ice.
He felt like he should round it all up and get everything over with. He is a hundred and ten sure that there was a piercing eyes of particular someone staring at him.
That someone is Angela Nice, his ex girlfriend. It was shocking when they both heard the news that Michael was to marry the daughter of his father's friend so that he could inherit his father's company. He had no choice because the contract was been sealed. To save his company he have to marry the woman he barely know. Though he had a plan of divorcing her after some months, still he doesn't want to marry her at all.
'trust me, she is a good girl . If you don't fall in love with her within a month then you can sign a divorce ' his father had said after all.
'goooooooiiinnnn' that was the bell. 'goooooiiiinn'.
The bride walked down the Isle with her father beside her, guiding her every step like always. Alicia was dressed in a super long and beautiful white dress. Her Vail covered her face as she walked majestically to her fate.
She got to the halter and stood opposite to her husband to be. His cold brown eyes staring into her soul. Shivers ran down her spine. She don't know why, but those cold eyes were intimidating.
The pastor cleared his throat.
"Do you Alicia Cara take Michael Morgan as your lawfully wedded husband? "
"I do"
"Do you Michael Morgan take Alicia Cara as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do" Michael Thick voice replied.
"then repeat after me" the pastors shaky voice said." Trough pain and gains, in trials and tribulations, in love and peace. Only death can discuss us apart. Amen "
The couples repeated what the pastor had said, definitely. And Alicia heart was beating faster as she said each words. And for Michael, he just act like it's a everyday thing to marry a woman he just met.
"You may kiss the bride " the pastor said.
And that was the moment Alicia dread most. Is she going to just kiss this cold strange looking man? Who was already your husband. Her subconscious mind reminded her.
The whole crowd was waiting patiently for the couples who just stood there, starting at each other. Micheal looked back at his father who gave him a sign of 'go ahead '
He sigh. Well just have to get this over with. He moved forward a little and crashed his lips on Alicia's.
Alicia was as surprised as everyone in the hall. Well, but the kiss was breathtaking even though he dominated it all. She gasped for air when he broke the kiss and the crowd started to cheer.
The newly wedded stared at each other for a minute, both lost in there thought. And all that kept replaying in Alicia head was the scene of the surprise kiss. Alicia silently started at the cold brown eyes who was also staring at her. She wish she could read mind and know what that iceberg is thinking of.
Micheal was first to brake the eye contact. He pushed her slightly away from himself and wiped his mouth with the sleeves of his suit.
Alicia tilted her head slightly still staring at her 'husband'. Why did he just do that? What If he regretted kissing her? What if he he feels disgusted?... Stop what if...ing, she mentally scolded herself.
Let's just hope this is going to be alright
