chapter. 15 - the supposed groom

AN: For the past few days, life's been kind of acting funny ... like the time our car suddenly broke down in front of a Wendy's while I was out buying a birthday present for my best friend- 💀

So in this chapter I don't really know what I'm about to write but this probably something a writer would write after like maybe a few shots of alcohol (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

... I also don't know how arranged marriages work at all so please forgive me, I only used my knowledge in the dramas I watched as a kid 😭

( 3rd person pov )

After that wonderful dance with Mirabel that night, time seemed to flash by so fast because that special moment was 4 days ago, when it only felt like yesterday for Y/N.

Her Father was OFTEN away now than usual, startling her. But she was accompanying her mother during the time being, and y'know, you gotta be strong for someone in that situation.

There was good news and bad news. The good news is that M/N's recovery is going pretty smoothly. And fast to say the least. She can sit up, talk normally (with a few hoarse interruptions in between due to exhaustion), and overall had her old energy back which made Y/N extremely happy.

The bad news is that ever since Mother started recovering, that's when F/N started to drift away due to work.

Y/N tried not to think about it so much, since all bad things have a good side to it right?

Unfortunately, the answer is a big fat no.

Cecille dropped by today, to Y/N's surprise because her and Coachman Henry were in charge of the house while Y/N and her mom were away for M/N's recovery.

" I'll take care of your mother for now, someone's looking for you at home and it's quite important and urgent." the caretaker told the girl, she looked nervous. Y/N stiffened. " But I can't just leave mom. Dad has already left her so much already." she replied.

" Don't worry sweetheart, you should go." M/N's voice appeared behind her. Y/N turned her head around in shock. " Mom! You should be in bed still!". she exclaimed, as Cecille hurriedly made her way over M/N's side. " Your daughter's right madam."

" I'll be fine Cecille. Anyways, I don't want to keep you cooped up in here forever. I'm gonna be fine as long as Cecille is here." her mother continued. Y/N was still hesitant.

" Are you sure?" she muttered.
" Yes Y/N."
" Well, if you say so. I promise I'll be back mom. Take care of her Cecille!"

Y/N gave her mother one last hug and Cecille one last smile before exiting the small house. ( AN: I don't exactly know if they had hospitals there so let's just say it's a small house where Julieta can focus on injured/sick people more ^^')

" Y/N! You're finally here." Coachman Henry exclaimed once hr finally caught sight of the girl. " Are you alright? You look down. I'm sure M/N's gonna be alright." he kindly reassured. Y/N shyly gave him a small smile. " Thank you Henry, I really hope so."

Then she returned to the point.
" Why was I called here?"

That's when she caught glimpse of the nervous glint in her coachman's eyes.

" That's what I am afraid to tell you. Cecille said it was important, right? Well ... it's also surprising."

Y/N felt her heart pace go faster due to anxiety. Was it the men? Are they here to ruin her family more while her father's gone? Did they do something to her dad?
