I was sitting in my art room and listening to some music when i heard a knock on my door.

"Come in"

One of the maids came in.
" Signorina, Signore Bravetti wants you to have dinner with them tonight"

I was confused, they never call me to eat dinner with them, what is going on?

" Why ?" I ask curious

" I don't know signorina but dinner will be served in 20 minutes"

" Okay thank you Ciara" she closed the door behind leaving my mind foggy. I can't even think of why my father wanted me to eat dinner with him, is he finally getting rid of me?

I go to my room and change my clothes since they were stained with paint and put my hair in a ponytail and went downstairs.

There was my father and my step mother Flora waiting for me, they were looking at me with disgust.

" Have some dignity and eat you've become all bones nothing pleasing about you to look at , as if he's gonna love you anyway" my step mother Flora snaps at me, what have i done to this woman for her to hate me so much i literally can count with one hand how many times I've talked to her.

Who is she talking about?

I just sit in my chair and look down at my plate not daring to look at my father's scary eyes.

" Anastasia, hold your head high and look in my eyes"

I hesitate at first, but when my father bangs the fist on the table i flinch and turn to look at him.

How am i his daughter?
Why do i look exactly like him?

" There's something i need to talk to you about, and you're going to do exactly as i say"

I just look at him and say nothing.

" You're getting married"
What?!
"What?!"

I flinch at the snaping i just did, he's going to kill me. My eyes fill with tears.

" You're getting married to Matteo Morelli, he owns this whole country even us for god's sake don't try and fuck this up cuz I'll kill you with both hands"

"But I don't love him father, please... i want to marry someone i love"

" Oh please Anastasia cut the shit as if i loved your mother, you're marrying him that's final, tomorrow he'll come here for dinner so find something nice to wear for once in your life"

I just lost my appetite, i got up and left to my room, and broke down crying, I'll never get to fall in love and have my first kiss with the boy i love, I'll never be free.

*the next day*

I couldn't even sleep yesterday, i stayed up all night bawling my eyes out, I'm marrying probably some ugly monster.
