I'm Marrying You?!

Chapter 8

~~~Your POV~~~

“Mom, you can’t do this!! It will kill me!” I said as we walked into our house.

“It won’t kill you, Chelsea. We’ve made this promise ever since you were born.” Dad explained.

OH , WHY DID HE HAVE TO MEET MR. ALVAREZ WHEN HE WAS IN COLLEGE?!

“Dad, I don’t even know him, and...he’s…old already.”

“He’s just the same age as your older brother, Chelsea, he’s just two years older than you.” Mom explained as she handed her discarded coat to a maid.

“Still, I won’t do it. I don’t want to.” I said.

“You can say anything you want, Chelsea, but the decision’s been made.” Dad said.

“Don’t I even have a say on whom I’ll marry?!” I couldn’t hold it any longer. I was just so frustrated.

“Don’t you dare raise your voice at us young lady, all your life you were pampered and spoiled by us, you don’t even care about the company, you don’t have a job, the only thing you need to do for us- your parents is to marry the man you were arranged with. If you don’t want to, you are free to leave the house.” Dad said coldly, then he walked away.

I felt my eyes water. This….isnt…right. Mom hugged me once and followed dad, but she stopped and turned to me.

“Don’t take what your father said seriously, Chelsea, he-both of us are just doing this for your future.” Mom said.

“But this…is~”

“It’s because we love you, that’s why we want you to marry someone capable and worthy of you.” She said, then she went up to their room.

This is so wrong. Why am I marrying someone I don’t even love? Isn’t that the whole concept of marriage, LOVE? I felt my eyes water, I care about the company, I just never had the calling to work.  And what’s worst? The man I’m marrying looks like he’s in love with someone.

I felt hands on my shoulders.

“Time for bed, Chels, worry about that tomorrow, you need sleep.” Clavin oppa said as he pulled me to the stairs.

“Am I really a useless child, oppa?”

“How could you say that? No, you’re not.”

I shook my head.

“Look at me, Chelsea.” He made me face him.

“You’re not useless, okay? You’re my very special sister, you’re the only girl in the family and we all love you. It’s just that…Father doesn’t want you to meet the wrong person, that’s why he wants you to marry into the Alvarez family.”

“Wow, they totally love me because they’re making me marry someone I don’t even know.” I said as I shrugged his hands off and went up to my room.

Hero’s POV

“Mom, you’re being unreasonable. I don’t even like her.”

“You will like her in the future when you’re married.” Mom said.

“Son, we made this arrangement ever since you were born. Her father and I are the best of friends.” Father said.
