You Again!!!

Chapter one... THE NEWS

Maya's POV

"Can you please concentrate!" Mr Matthews, my teacher, scolds.

It's never easy being wealthy. It is both a curse and blessing. Quite alright I enjoy all the luxurious brands I would ever want but it has its terrible perks. For instance, I have been homeschooled my entire life and I am in my final year. I have only three months before my graduation and two weeks to my 18th birthday.

"Can we take a break?!" I request frustratingly. This is getting irritating on both Mr Matthews' and my part. My mind is in a toll and I hardly concentrate in any of my classes today, and Mr Matthews is not liking it.

"Sure! You have 30 minutes!" Mr Matthews agrees.

Now you may be wondering why I'm being homeschooled and complaining about wealth? Well here's a bit of information about myself...
My name is Amelia Elizabeth Maya King, daughter of Xander Xavier King and Melody King and we're located in London, UK.
My father, Xander King, owns a multimillionaire pharmaceutical corporation known as King's Corp, that deals with medicine production.
My father has always been overprotective of me and has kept me indoors and less interactive with society, therefore, reason I've been treated this way.
This has led to me having no friends at all! That's pretty much it about me and now back to the current situation.

I was absent minded during my lessons today because I heard that my father will be back from his business trip from USA and he mentioned that he has some news to share. It sounded pretty serious.
I rush out of the study room to my Father's office on the third floor, where their bed room was also located. Mine was on the second floor with my study room being in the first floor.
I am so excited about meeting my Father, since he just arrived a few minutes ago while Mr Matthews was talking to himself. I have seen him in a month now and I am so excited and anxious.
I was on the 3rd floor in no time, thanks to the elevator and I hurriedly approach the office...
"Is it not too early??" I hear my mother's faint voice as I neared the office.
'what's too early??' I thought as I pressed my ear against the slightly ajar door.
"She is betrothed since birth and it's time that she knew" my Father states firmly and my jaw fell open, "Aaron thinks his son is way out of hand and needs to settle down, not forgetting that his son is the one to take over our company together with Maya!"
If it's possible my mouth fell open further. You have to be kidding me!! Marriage?? Now?? With some stranger??

"I am not getting married!!" I interrupted after I have heard enough. I am just seventeen for crying out loud!!
"You have no choice Maya!" My Father reasoned sternly. I turn to face my mother for back up but she looks away.... I am so doomed!!!

Austin's POV

The door to my penthouse bursts open, revealing my furious Dad. "You are getting out of hand!" He shouts furiously.
I was just from ditching my class and hanging out with a few of my friends who do not even waste time and immediately leave the house not ready to face my dad's wrath.

You are probably wondering what's going on who I am and what's going on?!

Well I am one of the richest bachelors in New York. My name is Austin Davis Smith, son of Aaron Smith and Clara Smith. Not only is my Father considered a tycoon owning companies dealing with medicine, and many hospitals but I too own my own company that I fully developed without his help. My company deals with technology, Davis Tech. Being a successful company owner at the age of 18 and coming from an already wealthy family has it's perks!

"What happened this time?" I groaned.

Without hesitation, he throws his tablet on my face . 'I guess I made the front page again' I thought as I stared at the picture of me totally wasted, surrounded by girls, after last night's hangout. Like I said, being rich really has it's perks.

"It's not that bad," I reasoned but was cut off. "I can't take your stupid behavior anymore!" He retorted, "I wanted to wait till you are twenty-one but I guess now is the time!"

"Time for what?"

"You getting married!"

'Woah! Did I hear this right? Marriage?? WTF!'
"You just can't...." Cut off again
"It's been decided! In two weeks time, you are getting married!" Without anymore word exchange he left the house..

Furiously, I throw the tablet furiously and decide to call my friends back. "Are you up for a drink?" I ask them and they all agree. Its time to get wasted!!
