What Life Robbed Me

Chapter 2

Elizabeth, the dad on the left bottom, victor on the top right, Christopher in the middle, and Cameron on the bottom.

The next day, I could barley get up. I took a hot shower and I stood there for a Least and hour or two. I couldn't stop crying and I couldn't stop thinking about my life. Having to live with a stranger, that will probably want kids in the future. I got out and I decided to put on a tight black dress that went to my knees. I put on some red lipstick and grabbed my black floppy hat. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked so tired. I missed my mom, so much. I put my heals on and I grabbed my red purse. I take a deep breath and went downstairs and headed outside where victor our driver was waiting for me. I walked to the black long car, as victor opened the door for me. I thanked him and I sat there and waited for victor to get in the car. "Victor, please take me to Christopher's house, Before taking me to my fathers company." I said. Victor looks at me through the rear view window. "Please victor.. I promise it will be quick. You won't get in trouble, I promise." Victor nods and drives to his house. I was happy that victor and I were close and that he understood me. After 20 minutes, Victor parks outside his house. He was there, fixing the garden. I remembered how he said he loved planting flowers and taking care of his garden. I take a deep breath and I get out of the car. He turns around and once he sees me, he smiles. I kept walking to him, and I wanted to tell him how much I was sorry for what I was about to say to him. "What are you doing here Elizabeth?" He said smiling. I got close to him as he took off his garden gloves and kissed me. I kissed him back of course because I loved him with all my heart. "Chris.. I." I said as I started to close my eyes, as he caresses my cheek slowly. "You look so beautiful." He says. I opened my eyes quick and I looked at him, straight in the eyes. His beautiful light blue eyes. I looked down at my finger, as I slowly take my ring off. "I can't marry you Chris." I said. I grabbed his hand and I put the ring on his hand, closing it. "I'm sorry." I say as I turn around and go back to the car. I can tell he was shocked. He wasn't expecting this at all, and he was probably broken like I am now. He didn't go after me or tried to tell me why I wanted to break it off. I just kept walking, and that hurt. Once again, victor opened the door and I got inside, putting my seat belt on and looking at him through my window. A tear falling down my cheek. He was looking at me and he looked down at the ring. As soon as we got to the company, I took a deep breath and I got out, walking inside with victor. I got inside my fathers office and noticed that my father wasn't there, but his friend, the lawyer. Victor closed the door and went back to the car. I turned to look at the lawyer and I went to the chair and sat down. "Good morning." He said. I took off my floppy hat and put it down on my lap. "Morning." I said quietly. I look at the contract. "Can we do this early, and get this over with?" I said. The lawyer looks at me and gets two pens out. "Actually we are waiting for Cameron." The lawyer said. "Who's Cameron?" I say feeling confused. The lawyer looks at the door and smiles. "The guy you will marry." Said Cameron feeling and coming in confidently. I turn around as soon as possible to look at him. He was tall, handsome, and had some nice lips. I quickly turn around and waited for him to sit. "Well well well, look at who we have here. They were right, she is beautiful." Cameron said. I rolled eyes and turn around to the other side crossing my arms. "Can we get this over with now? Please." I said looking at the lawyer. The lawyer grabs the contract and puts it in front of him. I just wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible and get out of here. "Please, go over the rules." Cameron said. "Of course, Elizabeth I'm going to mention 10 rules for you." The lawyer says. I just sat there trying to figure out what rules I had to follow. The lawyer clears his voice and continues to talk. "The first rule is to get married, Second rule is having to sleep together, Third rule, having to talk to each other about anything, rule number four, having to share money, rule number five, pretending to love each other front of families and anyone that wants to interview Cameron, rule number six no fighting, not leaving without a chaperone ever, going to all of Cameron's meetings, and lastly, no falling in love." The lawyer finishes talking. I laughed, "oh trust me, that won't happen." I said grabbing a pen. The lawyer gets annoyed and stands up. "There will be a wedding." He says as he turns the contract around. "Are you kidding me? I thought my signing this contract, I would be officially married to him."I said. The lawyer looks at me. "Yes, but we have to make a wedding, so that everyone believes that this is real." He says giving Cameron a pen. The lawyer points to where I have to sign and I quickly sign. I wait for him to sign and I get up as quickly as possible. I put on my floppy hat and head to the door and getting out of the room, I walk outside heading to the door. I hear the doors opening from behind me, Cameron calling my name. "Wait!" He said. I roll my eyes and I turn around. "What do you want? Don't you think this is enough?" I said getting a bit angry. Cameron starts getting a bit mad too. "Do you think I wanted to do this? Do you think I wanted to marry you? I had too because of this stupid company, and because of our dads." He said. I look at his eyes, like if there was something that was hurting him too. Like if he was going through the same thing as me. "Well a least you didn't lose anything." I said turning around and going inside the car. I was so broken, I couldn't be here anymore and I didn't want to do this anymore. This was so hard for me. On our way home, I go inside the house and Straight to my bedroom. As I opened the door I jumped and saw a bunch of woman coming to me. They make me sit down and they show me a bunch of makeup options and hairstyles. I didn't pick any, I told them to do what they wanted to do. I stand up so they could take measurements. "Are you excited for this Friday?" Said one of the young ladies. The wedding was this Friday and I wasn't even ready for any of this. "Friday, ah yes, I'm super excited." I said feeling sad. The young lady looks at me and smiles. "Well he is one lucky man." She said. I smile a bit. Hours later, I sat down and looked at myself in the mirror. I grabbed the comb and looked at it. My mother use to brush my hair all the time, when I was a little girl. I missed her so much. She once told me to never do anything I didn't want to do. She wouldn't let me do any of this. She wouldn't let me marry anyone I didn't love.
