A/n : y/e/c -> your eyes color

Scarlett POV:

When I went out of my father's building I immediately called my best fiend, Chris.

~on the phone~

C: Hey Scar. How you doing ?

S: Not good at all. Can you come over to my apartment ?

C: Yeah 0f course. I coming now can Seb come too ?

S: Of course he can. Thank you Chris.

C: No problem. We'll come as fast as I can.

I was in my living room pacing everywhere biting my fingernails. The doorbell ringing pulled me out of my daze.

I went to open the door it wasn't Chris and Sebastian but.. my mother ?

What is she doing here ?

"Please Scarlett open the door we need to talk" my mother says trow the door.

I opened it and let her come in. I ask her dryly "What are you doing here ?"

"I know you talked with your father and I want to know how you are. That's a big news to digest"

"I m fine I'm just mad at him ans at you too cause you let him do." I say as we sit on the couch I front of each other.

"I know you have right to be mad but we need that the enterprise and the family. You're our only child and we want you to have a family so the family doesn't extinguished and someone can become the CEO of Johanson corporation. We really need that."

"Yeah but it's my life and I don't want that I'm not ready for being married and have kids. I don't even know her!"

"You will learn. I've heard about her she's not that bad she has a good reputation. You'll get to know her and everythings gonna to be okay" My mother says putting her hand on my knee.

I nod ans she got up "I need to leave but before that you have dinner with her tonight after the meeting she'll pick you up here. Everything is already setting and please Scarlett come to the meeting" i nod

"Bye" with that she comes out of my apartment.

Like five minutes later I heard the doorbell again. But this time this is Chris and Seb.

I open the door and great them "Hey boys how are you ?" "The real question is: How are YOU Scarlett ?" Chris says hugging me.

"Not really good. I have some news for you" I say as we all sit on the couch.

"Okay we're listening" seb says as he make himself comfortable.

"I m getting married" I pause and saw them smile in pure joy "it's a forced marriage" I look down while saying that part.

Their smile drop and looked at each other "forced ?" Chris ask confused and not sure he heard well.

"Yeah forced my father told me this morning and he made me understand that I didn't have the choice."

"Is it legal ?" Chris asks looking at Sebastian.

"Hum ot's not my speciality but I think if there is a contract, yes" He reply.

"Thre is one we're going to sign it this afternoon" I say sighing and realising.

"Well who are you marrying ?"

"Y/n Downey. The daughter of my father friend"

"Oh yeah I worked with her in the past she's good but I don't really know her" Chris says trying to process everything.
