"He can't be serious, right?" Stephanie asks me.

I stare off at nothing and don't know how to react. I just sit there. Marry? Mateo El Ricci? Next week? The only question that's spinning in my mind is: Was it meant to me too?

My uncle doesn't give a fuck about me. He did even bother to look after me when my parents died, so why I am here?

"Dad, you can't do that to us" Stephanie plead "Please, dad..."

"We don't have a choice, darling" he says with pleading eyes.

"But look on the other side..." My aunt says "Mateo El Ricci is a powerful man, has a lot money and in handsome. Or that's what I have heard anyway" she goes to Stephanie and kiss her on the head. Ugh...My aunt only things about money and looks. It wouldn't surprise me if she's with my uncle only for his money.

"Mom... Please... no... I don't want to-"

"-You don't have a choice!" my uncle yells through the room, making everyone silence. "Tomorrow will be a first meeting with Mateo El Ricci and his family, and you..." he points at me. "...You will meet him too-"

"-Not that you have a chance" my aunt says laughing.

I look down at myself. She's right; I don't make a chance at all, maybe I should call in sick.

"Now, go to your rooms and get some rest. You need to be perfect tomorrow!"

Stephanie and I make our way to my room but my aunt grasps my arm before I can reach the stairs. Pulling me inside one of the side rooms, she closes it, making sure nobody can hear us.

"Aunt?" I ask, arching a brow.

"Don't call me that, we aren't even blood related!" she responses.

"Sorry, I mean Mary"

"As you know we are going to meet Mateo tomorrow and I want you to STAY OUT OF HIS WAY!" she says loudly.

"Why?"

What does she mean by that? I know I won't make a chance against Stephanie so what's the problem?

"Why?" she says sarcastically arching an eyebrow "Because you can't ruin Stephanie' life, her life of success and happiness... you already ruined our life with just being here!" she tells me and strolls over to the door before opening it. "Not a word to anyone, and don't forget what I've said" BAM! And she's gone.

"Emily! I don't want to marry him! I love Ben!" Stephanie yells through my bedroom.

"Be quiet, otherwise your mom and dad will hear you" My aunt's words keep repeating in my head. You ruined our life.

I didn't really had a choice to be here... I hate it here! They just don't accept me and look at me like I'm garbage.

"You need to help me Emily! You need to marry him! Please... Please..." she begs.

"Stephanie, I can't do that... you know what your mom said, I don't make a chance... you are beautiful and you deserves someone like him..." I say, trying to convince her.

"But you don't understand, didn't you hear about him?" Huh? Is he famous or something?

"No, why?" I ask curious.

"YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW!!!" she screams.

"Not so loud" I say back.

"Sorry, but you really don't know?" I shake my head. I'm more curious now. Who is he? I don't really follow the news so no wonder I don't about him.
