AMMIKA

In life , we all have those times where we say fuck rules, apparently that's me at the moment but I deeply regret it but what can I do , I'm the daughter of Tapas only law commander. I'm like a princess according to the Upper class. Upper class is a society of rich personnels , political officials. It's just like the government but here it's bound with laws , traditions and loyalty.

They believe in trashy arranged marriages to strengthen the  society. Trashy as it is, I knew my day would come where I would be promised to a high educated man the moment I hit 18. To my surprised unlike many young ladies I was promised at the age of 21 . Which didn't come as a surprise because my Pa is like the vice president of South Tapas. North Tapas is a different story.

Now I am promised to a young man who will take over my father once he retires. Yes, I'm getting engaged in 1 weeks time. But here I am in a club. For the first time I sneaked out of the house instead of being a dutiful daughter.

"There you go sighing again."  says Antika my best friend since I was born . She's the president's daughter.

"You don't get it do you." I say gulping down a drink which I don't even know the name of.

As my nanny says it 'As the upper class' princess you are only supposed to drink champagne and wine.'

"I do , because one day it will also be me ."  she says sulking. Making her look twice younger than her age. She's got an angelic face and a devilish  body.

"At least you still got time." I mumbled.

I just wish I was a regular girl. A normal citizen not an Upper class princess.

"And that's why we are here , we sneaked out without guards and do you know what that means. It means total freedom. Let's get you your first kiss." she said dragging me to the dance floor.

She's right this is my only chance to be free no guards , no journalist.
With my body tight dress it's kinda hard to dance.

As I started dancing , I felt someone looking mostly staring at me. I look around but see no one. Maybe I'm being paranoid since it's my first time sneaking out. What if someone recognized me. That's totally impossible bcoz right now I'm dressed like a wanna be stripper not a dutiful princess I am.

Minutes go by as we dance and yet that feeling of being watched remains.
Deciding to get some fresh air I head in a direction I don't know.

Pa says he loves me and I'm his only will of living since mom died.

Maybe I should just tell Pa that I can't go through with these arranged engagement. But that will result in pa being humiliated and being punished for not listening to the Upper class.

A sound behind me makes me startle. Turning around I see no one again. I feel like someone is watching me . Perhaps Pa knew we sneaked out and sent guards after us.  Perhaps it's a guard following me.

Scanning my surroundings again I find myself in a place where I'm pretty sure I won't get some fresh air . My heart skips a beat , the hairs in my neck rise in alarm. Someone is definitely behind me. Clenching my fists I turn around  just to find no one behind me.  I'm pretty sure this is not a guard or me being paranoid.

Taking out a dagger from my boot , I clutch it ready to attack when a force pushes me and I hit the wall hard.

Wincing I close my eyes to take in the pain I feel a warm breath hitting my face.  I fling my eyes open just to come face to face with a  pair of hazel eyes.
Trailing my eyes from his eyes , I take in all his features. His face alone screams sin from his eyes to his pierced eyebrow to his sharp jawline, pierced lips to his midnight black hair. I'm pretty sure he's a Greek God but something about him screams run , run for your life. Which I should be doing as my dagger lies on the ground long forgotten
