Eloise

"Stop picking your cardigan again " Zoe rest her hand on mine " it will be okay , I will be by you side " she gave me a comforting smile .

" wait isn't this my shoes  " I suddenly noticed she was wearing my converseś

"We'll talk time for breakfast " she ran downstairs 

Thinking of meeting someone new does not always sit well with me , but I needed to act confident for my sister I can't be weak for her . If I look sad she will be sad too. Zoe and I got ready by7 and had our breakfast by 7:30 . We sat on our beds patiently as we waited for  zade to arrive .

Grunts of the car was heard outside our house . Zoe rushed to check but I stayed rooted to my bed .I knew it was hawthroneś car ,dad always left at 9 for work .

Slowly i made my way  downstairs  , my eyes meet my fatherś standing their with a glass probably whiskey ,of course.I gestured zoey to go outside and wait for me .When Zoey was out of sight .Dad  gripped my arm ,he brought his face close to me that I could practically smell the whiskey ." You will not fuck this up .you won't do anything that can fuck up this wedding .understood?"

I could practically  feel the tremors as I shake my head up and down in agreement . Dad released me and then went back to his room .

He was gone but I stood there trying to calm my heart down , a few deep breaths and pulled my cardigan down so that I could hide the redness in my arm and walked outside as everything was fine 

Their was a man  in a black suit ,probably in  his fifties near the car as he talked with Zoe.  He introduced himself as the butler and driver of the Hawthorne ś .he was here to take us to the wedding dress venue .

As we rode in the care in silence my thought  filled up my mind 

Why do zade Hawthorne want to marry me ?

Why does want to make a alliance with my dad. Even a dumb person will know that he is nothing but a waste to the society .nor my dad have enough money that .why did zade agree—- 

"Eloise ! Eloise ! Back to earth "

I zoned in to find my sister waving an  hand in front of me 

"Huh?"

"Eloise we have arrived the shop let's go "

The boutique looked posh even from its exterior .like you know in some shops you look at it and get the " rich " vibes . This was the that  shop . Looks like this zade dude is loaded . 

We entered into the shop , one of the shop assistant  ,Bella (it was on her name tag ) looked up at us in disgust "miss, this shop is for  high end people " some other assistant snickered "i fear you will not meet the budget  even of our lowest price  dress i Suggest you to find a cheap shop . This isn't for yo—

 To say sorry  was on the tip of my tongue"She is my future wife " I heard a velvety voice speak behind me . I turn towards the door of the shop .

There stood a man in a black suit . He was so tall and handsome as hell.  He stood at the shopś door  . Looking at him you could just feel the power  he radiated .  So this is zade . Zade Hawthorne. My future husband .

 My mood felt sour as to think he was the one forcing me to be his wife .   I knew His good looks were a facade , underlies a ruthless monster who forced me in this arrangement . Uggg I hate this man 

"I am zade Hawthorne "

Daddy 

"Ahem, I am Eloise , Eloise black  "

God  at close he looked like Adam Carlson , his jet black hair  and  full lips .  He looked like he stepped out of a Wattpad, you  know like the male lead of  y/ n models .

" click a photo it lasts longer "

" to have years of trauma no thank you "I gave my sarcastic  smile 

"Hi I am zadeś sister Lilian "

I gave her my greetings   And we started dress selecting .the  rows and rows of white dress overwhelmed me .  Their was so much to chose from , shoes , veil , accessories. After a dozen of dresses trying .I think I looked really stressed with the dresses that Lilian suggested to let zade pick a dress . If I didn't like it we can go back to dress selecting again .

So I entered into the changing room sections as I  prayed to god  for him to select a decent dress 

Knock !

"Come in ", I opened my  door wide so that the assistant could come in  with the dress and help me wear it . I looked up "oh !" Guess what I'm front me stood zade himself with the dress . The dress , the dress was the prettiest cloth of silk I have ever laid my eyes upon , it was embroidered with silver and gold threads , it looked like tiny stars .

" wow it is so pretty " i gush out even without thinking .

"Go for it wear it " zade handed me the dress 

I walked and stood in front of Zoe , Lilian and zade . I think hearing their reactions on this  was worth it .

" god Eloise , you looked disgustingly cute " Zoe said 

"I am going to cry Eloise ,  you look so pretty " Lilian said as she wiped her tears . 

"Told you all my style is impeccable "zade  smirked .god I hate his  confident attitude . 

We selected flower girlś dresses . Lilian ś twin girls would look so cute together with these red wellies and bows in their hairs 

Zoe and I were about to leave from the shop , when zade asked to talk to me in private .

The room was without a protest was cleared for us . Rich people perks .

"How did you get those marks on your arm " zade asked without breathing around the bush ." Tell me the name Eloise "

I was surprised that he noticed it . But I am in  no position to tell the truth I hold . 

"None of your business , zade" I turned around to leave the shop .I squeaked as zade as tugged my arm  and hold my waist to support me. His eyes looked almost black as he said "you are wife , sunshine ". 

"Your purchased  wife " i gritted my teeth . 

"Now Eloise now that , you will be my wife ,if you want me or not " zade kissed my checks as he released me from his hold 

"Fuck you" as I stormed out of the shop .
