Her Helpmate

21. Please come soon to your baby bear!

Christmas Bonus chapter...

"Who said it's for Iklav..." I furrowed my brows at her before I could imagine anything else, "...it's for you, honey!"

I was speechless for a moment. I blinked my eyes, mentally itched my brain, assuring myself did I hear her.

"What?" I reacted and glared at my dad because he is the most important person in my life not that female.

"You heard me?" She informed, rolling her eyes. I just wanted to pluck that witch's eyelids.

"I just turned twenty, to remind you, dad!" I yelled at my father.

"Already two years above of eligible age!" My stepmother-cum-witch piped in.

I glowered at her, stating "I am not speaking with you?"

"Saira, what's your problem? Why can't you speak appropriately with your mother?"

"Because she is not the one, dad. If my mom was alive she would have stood for me!"

"This is for your safety, honey. I care about you!" I cocked my brow at her. My family doesn't do anything if it doesn't advantageous to them either with wealth or fame.

"We all took the decision Saira, we all are going the day after tomorrow to Chauhan's hotel for lunch. There you will meet your suitor. You both will exchange Engagement rings after lunch. And the wedding will be on the same day as your brothers."

WTF. Is it that easy for him?

And Chauhan's!

"Why?" I wet my lips, "why did they put this marriage proposal?" I imagined the only reason and probed, "what are you getting in exchange for this wedding, father?" That day I seriously lost interest to call him dad. He is not my father, he was never my father. He forced me to do modeling without considering my interests and now this wedding. It's just unbelievable.

"That is not in your concern. Tomorrow, be ready, we will be leaving at twelve!"

"No! I am not going to marry, any money-minded wretch animal like you all!" I spat on them and stood on my foot, receiving an exasperating gasp from that vinegar-pumping sorcerer.

"Saira, what's your problem? I am trying hard to give you the best possible life and yet you keep complaining!"

"Because I don't want it, father. And my problem is you and her. You both are playing with my life. One day you all wanted to make me a model and today you want to get me to marry "

"Saira, to me reputation is very important. And don't think I am not keeping a record of you, how can you date a low-class boy? He even proposed to you in front of all." Obviously, he was speaking about that foolish fellow, Naren. "We have a range, don't forget it. And the decision of you doing modeling or not will be decided by your in-laws now!"

"I care shit about them or you all!"

I gave a final look at that Sorcerer, who just snickered at me. I thought to smash the vase sitting on the tea table over her skull. But getting wed is better than going to jail. So I calmed my nerves and strolled out.

While I was walking out of the room I encountered brother Iklav. I shook my head at him disgustingly. "Kiddi!"

I lift my hand interrupting him. "I hate you all!" I spat at him and strolled up to my room.

****

My two Mountainous bodyguards didn't let me step out of the mansion, so I text Maan to come asap with six beer cans. Five for me and one for him. I have to search for a solution to escape from the wedding and also to make Shaurya know that I am getting wed in one week.
