"So as you can see, these past few years have been hard on us...I faced problems with my business..." Father laced his fingers together.

"And since business has been rocky, our money to afford this mansion is low...."

Dres and I kept nodding, signaling Father to go on.

"Basically, I made a sort of deal? In order for us to keep the mansion your mom and I built. The only problem is I had to seek this help..." Father stood up, taking a deep breath.

"I know a Rich family that can help us. But, they wanted something in return of my value..."

"Wait if they're rich, then why do they need something of our value..they can basically buy anything." Dres questioned looking at Father. I was absolutely confused.

"Dres I can't just ask for money from them, and get it without some sort of trade. In this world if you want something from someone else, you have to be willing to do them a favor or trade something.." Father spoke walking around the table slowly.

"Fine, I see your point. Do go on.." Dres huffed, crossing his arms.

"Plus, it isn't an object they want..But, two people...." Father stopped by his seat, and stood still.

"Two people?.." I scratched my head. Dres looked at my direction confused.

Father tensed up...and faced us. His eyes looked hurt..

"They have two sons...who have been looking for marriage...they haven't found the perfect lovers...for them..."

Lovers?.....

"They have heard about our family...especially your mother. Her beauty was known from all around. You two got your looks from her...and of course me.." Father flashed a small smile.

"If they were to marry their sons to someone like her....then not only would they be lucky...but powerful..beauty is known all around after all.."

"Your Mother and I never had a daughter, but two sons...which is both of you...and you guys resemble so much to her...."

"Her eyes...nose....everything.....you guys were everything to her and me.."

"So it hurts me to have to break her promise...of protecting you..."

My eyes widen....

"You both....will be put in an arrange marriage." "I have agreed to the terms of them having your hand."

"WHAT THE ACTUALLY FUCK! ARE YOU FUCKIN JOKING!! YOU'RE JUST AGREEING TO THIS!" Dres shouted slamming his hands on the table.

"Father, you can't do something like this....LOVE ISN'T JUST SOMETHING YOU BUY!" I growled standing up.

"Like I said you don't have a choice at the matter. I'm doing this for us!" Father glared at us both.

"You're doing this for you.." I glared back. "You never actually cared for us! If you did you wouldn't be putting us through this crap!"

There was a knock on the door followed by a servants voice.

"What is it?" Father growled. The servant peeked in and nervously spoke out.

"Sir! A letter came for y-you in the mail. It's from the Green Mansion. They wanted to let you know, they would be arriving in two days."

"Thank you for the message you may leave."

A few seconds later we heard footsteps walking away quickly down the hall.

The atmosphere was once again...quiet...the only noise made was Dres and I heavy breathing...

Dres shot father a glare and ran out of the room.

I looked at father and started walking to the door...

"I hope this makes you happy....after you shutting us out,when we needed you the most....to you selling us for marriage..." I looked at Father one last time.

"I hate you..."

I shut the door behind me and sprinted to my room.

I felt tears falling down my cheeks. My vision was blurry and my body felt numb.

My panting was all I can hear...

I finally made it to my room slamming the door behind me. Making sure to lock it.

An idea came into my head and my body took control.

I grabbed a suit case from under my bed and quickly opened it.

Grabbing clothes from my wardrobe and dumping it in. Once I finished I placed it back under my bed.

What I'm I doing....I'm I really willing to do this...

I sighed and laid on my bed by Herbert.

I have my friends in the village who can help me out...yeah...

I can live with Jon for the time being...

My chest felt a ping of sadness...what about Dres...I can't leave him..

My thoughts were all over the place. I can take Dres with me...but..would he want to go...

I heard a knock on my door. My body tensed up.

"Nick...let me in please..." It was Dres..

I sat up and unlocked my door. Dres stood there slouching.

He came in and shut the door locked behind him.

"I don't want to do this...." He slid by the door, knees to his chest.

"Me neither...." I mumbled...I heard a sniffing.

My eyes widen as Dres sat in front of me crying.

"I hate this life...why couldn't we just be happy...why did mom have to leave...we could have been a perfect family..." Dres choked out.

I thought for a moment....

"Run away with me..." I blurted out.

"W-what?!" Dres looked up bewildered. His eyes widen tears still pouring down.

"You heard, run away with me. I know this to much to handle but trust me. I have some friends who can help us out! We don't deserve this!" I walked over to him, kneeing down.

"Thats...h-how..." He wiped a few of his tears.

I smiled and hugged him, he tensed up...hugging me back tightly.

"I love you Dres, you are the best brother...please...run away with me...I don't want to leave you behind..." I smiled, letting the tears fall down my cheeks.

Moments pass... and still no response..

"Alright..."

"Wait what?! Are you serious?" I pulled back shocked. I wasn't expecting him to say yes so suddenly..

"I don't want to be separated from you...we stick together as brothers!" He smiled.

I smiled back...I felt so happy." Yeah!"

"So what's the plan?" Dres stood up.

"Okay I say we leave at night time! You have time to pack and meet me back here. I'm all set so it's just you." I explained.

"Pfft, it sounds like you do this alot." He chuckled.

I smiled nervously." Ermmm...yeah I actually do hehe."

"Oh...wait so that explain the dress-"

"Go on now,no questions! Remember the plan!" I quickly shoved him out my room giggling.

"Okay okay, I'll see ya later!" He snickered.

I shut the door and laid back down on my bed.

....night time....

I closed my eyes and fell asleep...
