Listen to: Cinderella by Steven Curtis


He is taller than me, by a dozen inches at least. He is ripped, all muscle. He is handsome, and really strong. He has a strong jaw and beautiful green eyes. His smell is intoxicating. He is looking down on me with a scowl on his face. He is the enemy.

I am a strong girl. I put on my strong face, but I can't fool him. I was shaking like a leaf, vibrating as he slipped the ring on my finger and I put another on his.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the priest dressed in white said.

His hand went around my waist and he pulled me to the full length of his body, his strong body. He leaned in to breach the height and then with an impassive look on his face, his tongue invaded my mouth. My hand gripped his biceps, and I closed my eyes, trying to look as convincing as possible, cause from this moment on, I am his possession, no questions asked.

The guest cheered, and there was loud murmuring and we walked to the reception building. Yes, it is an outdoor wedding, something I have always dreamed of.

We didn't say anything to each other all day, and he put on quite a show, lifting me off the ground and spinning me around as we danced, kissing me everything some drunk guy start chanting Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

My father, the main reason am here, refuses to look me in the eye. He know how mad I am at him, but all my anger disappeared as we danced.

"Am really sorry Anna" his familiar strained voice said to me

"I bet you are. How did you even know this people, why would you collect so much money, and steal their possession, that goes against every value you ever taught me"

That was how I got myself in this mess in the first place. My dad collected some money from these guys, but that is not all, he took something that belonged to Raptor, the head of the Mafia, the guy am getting married to,and he believes the punishment was death for my father, only that he could not find him all this years until recently, and in exchange for my father's life, I agreed to the proposal Hammer, his second in command laid down, I married him

"I am not proud of what I have done but, I did it cause I had no other choice, and I know them cause I was once part of the G.A.M.E" he couldn't look me in the eye

It is like I don't even know the man standing in front of me.

"So you have killed people," he looked away, which I took as a yes "What was the reason you had? What reason in the world could you have possibly have that made you do that?!" I wanted to know

"Your mother was dying, I had an addiction to gambling so I was flat broke, I couldn't bare the thought of losing her, and with all my effort, she left us. I wasn't just devastated that she died, I also considered the things I have done. That was why we had to live town, change our identites"

I always thought it was cause he didn't want anything that reminded him of my dead mother. I always knew he loved her deeply, and that he would do anything for her, even if that is stealing a priced possession of the most dangerous man in the entire Continent, that's how much he loved her, and she still didn't make it.

"Oh dad" I placed my head on his shoulder, hugging him.

I lost my mom at the age of fifteen, and things were rocky, but I managed, we managed, and no matter what, he will always be my dad.

"May I have this dance" a voice I recognize to be Hammer's said behind me

"Sure" I replied and switched
