"Ashley, Sweetheart!". "Love of my life and futur mother of my children". "Can you please come down to the living room, my little love muffin!?".

                                  ASHLEY'S POV

'Oh, barf!'. 'Can he be any more revolting'.

In all my of being trapped in this damn house with the devil himself, Korbin has never once talked to me that way. Not even when I was younger.

'What the hell is he up to'.

Stepping downstairs, on high alert, I cautiously round the corner to the living room. The light's are dim and there's soft music playing through the speaker's from somewhere in the house. Looking closer I can now see the rose peddles on the floor, a pathway beckoning me forward.

'He's completely lost it!'.

Standing in the living room completely confused I finally hear, Korbin behind me and I spin around ready to defend myself from what he's got planned.

"There you are, Sweetheart".

There in the shadow's is, Korbin on one knee holding a rose out to me.

'What is this man up to?'.

"Take it, Sweetheart". "Please!".

Hand trembling. I grab the rose from, Korbin. And there!. Hanging from the stem, is a ring tide to it by a ribbon.

"K-korbin, what is this?".

He takes the rose back for a brief moment removing the ring, handing the rose back to me.

"Ashley, Sweetheart". "We've been together for so many year's now, and you've become such an obedient loyal pet to me lately that I only think that it's about time that we enter the next chapter of our lives and get married".

'H-he want's to what now?'. 'We can't, im not ready'. 'I don't have nearly enough money saved up to be able to run from this hell, from'... 'Him!'.

"Oh, Korbin". "I...".

"I know it's sudden, Sweetheart". "But it's time". "I want you to be my, Pet". "Officially!".... "Forever!".

"But!...". "I thought you wanted to wait until I turned twenty?. "It's too soon, Sir!".

'God, it makes me sick to my stomach every time I have to call him that'.

"I'm tired of waiting, and I wasn't asking". "You're a fucking adult now, Ashley and this marriage is going to happen". "Be thankful I didn't marry your sweet ass when my parent's expected me to". "Now shut up and be the obedient pet I expect you to be".

'Aaaand, there he is'. 'There's the, Korbin Powell ive come to know'.

Blood running cold and feeling defeated I look away whispering under my breath knowing he's right. Because if, Korbin's parent's had it their way I would of been his wife at six year's old.

"Wh-when, Sir?".

Not acknowledging my question, Korbin reaches behind the back of the couch producing a big box wrapped in a bow.

"Go and put this on".

Standing paralyzed he shoves the box in my arm's, snapping his finger's pulling me back to my hellish reality.

"MOVE, BITCH!!".

"Oh, I". "Y-yes, Sir!".

Scurrying upstairs again, I open the box to a gorgeous white dress and it suddenly hits me.
