"Mrs. Montgomery would you like syrup for your pancakes?" The elderly housemaid asks, after another one places my breakfast in front of me. Today it's pancakes with sausages and an omelette that is made to my preference.

"Light amount please." I nod scouting to the side a bit.

"Why do you eat in moderation Alina? I think that's an healthy excellent quality." Derrick says placing a hand on top of mine.

"I'm a cheerleader in high school. . .well was." I mutter sadly. I can't hide how miserable I am. Being in this house I didn't grow up in. I knew nothing about going my way around here. Even the room I slept in.

Of course I share it with Derrick. Since I am soon to be Mrs. Montgomery. There's a heavy 10 carat diamond engagement ring on the left finger of my hand. Fits perfectly and it's beautiful. The kind of ring a girl dreams about. Except this wasn't my dream. I fist my left hand feeling as if the ring is burning.

Derrick is surprisingly nice to me so far. I know I frustrate him at times but I don't care. I'm not here out of my own will. This man paid for me to be robbed of my own life and molded into his.

"What's wrong my Alina?" Derrick murmurs, his thick British accent always present. One hand reaches to caress my cheek and I want to pull away from him.

"I am just tired. Can I get back to sleeping please?" I sigh.

"Of course my love." He nods.

It's 7 in the morning. Derrick goes to work at this time but insisted on eating breakfast with me. So I'm forced to wake up and join him even when all I want is to lay down.

"Thank you, I'll eat more when I get up, just really tired today." I fake a big yawn.

Derrick smiles then nods gesturing for me to get up. I go to him immediately since I know he wants me to be that way. He stands up to embrace me and I just accept the hug.

"Sleep well my beauty." Derrick murmurs pressing his lips to my forehead.

I simply nod ignoring the feeling of cold sliminess his touch gives me.

I make my way back into the bedroom. Lay myself down and calm down under the covers. I really don't want to be here. I want to be home more than anything. I want to see my parents again. Just once if anything even to say goodbye.

I've accepted this is my life now.

I'm Alina Montgomery. Not Baraz.

I play the role of a happy in love bride to be. I didn't want to. Yet somehow I manage to act it out just fine. I try not to show Derrick my sadness. The one time I express it he shocks me with his response.

According to him, he did me a favor by "Bringing me here." That my life would be mediocre had he not offered to share his wealth with me. I can have anything I want but my one true desire. I want to go back home.

Somewhere in my subconscious I think about Zayn. More like he comes into my mind whenever I'm drifting off.

I want to feel his skin against mine just one more time. Hell if I had the chance to see him again I would do just that. Might as well if I can only enjoy simple pleasures in this new life of mine. Zayn brought out something in me that I've never felt before.
