Married To Mr. Devil

CHAPTER 4

Nick's pov:

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You better sit Nick. It's time for you to know the truth" she said and I sat on another couch facing her.

She breathed another sigh and started to speak.

"Your parents and Mr. Robert were family friends and business partners. They were friends since college. After they got married they started a business together. Their business went smoothly and in short period of time they developed their business in high level. But they also got enemies who envied them. Your parents didn't die on the car accident. They were killed by the car accident. I don't know who it was because they had a lot of enemies that time. One day they have to attend the meeting in another country but due to the problems going on here your parents decided to go there alone. They left Mr. Robert and His wife Ellen here to take care of the company.

They were killed before they even reach the airport. You were four at the time. I was asked to take care of you by Anne your mother, until they came back from the trip. But when I heard what happened I know what I am going to do. Whoever did that to them I know they will come after you if they know about you. So, I took you away from them and moved here. I was legally your guardian even before your parents were died. Anne trusted me that much. She was everything to Me." she said and I saw a tear rolled on her cheek.

I just sat there numbly trying to process all the things she said. "What happened next?" I asked.

"I cut all the contact from them and kept you away from them and the dangerous. I thought they forget about you and never show up. But I was wrong. I was wrong until they showed up last week" she said.

"But I didn't get why they are here now after all those years and why did you say they are going to be my future in laws? What do you mean?" I asked.

"You were engaged before you born. Your parents and Robert's family made an agreement that they will be become in-laws by having an arranged marriage between their children. So, the son/daughter of the Carter's family have to married to the Son/daughter of the Grant." She said and I had a bad feeling that something big is going to come.

"So, I have to marry her daughter? Is she even younger than me?" I asked.

My aunt looked away from me with guilt expression on her face.

"Jessie, what is that?" I asked.

"It's not she...... It's he" she said not looking at my face.

No....no no no, it's can't be.

"WHAT?"

--------------------------The next day----------------------------------

I was sitting on my lunch period with my friends thinking about what my aunt said. I can't believe I was already engaged to someone even before I was born. And top of that I was engaged with a man, a 22 year old man. Why my parents have to do something like that?

They are not even alive anymore. So, I thought the agreement will not valid but it's not. I have to married to the man I don't even know. I thought about what happened yesterday after she told me that.

FLASHBACK

"WHAT?"

"Are you kidding me? Please tell me you are joking" I said looking at my aunt hoping she would tell it was all just a joke. But it's not.

"Sorry honey, but we can't do anything. They had the agreement. I tried to talk to them but they are not listening to me. They want to talk to you. They said tomorrow they will meet us" she said.

"But I am not even gay" I said sounding defeated.

My aunt looked at me with a sad expression and said "I'm sorry Nick."

--------------- End of Flashback----------------------------------------------

I sighed and looked down at my lunch. My appetite was long gone.

"Nick, for the love of god what is wrong with you? You have been sighing like millionth time" Alex said while looking at me annoyed.

When I looked around the table everyone was looking at me worriedly.

"Sorry guys, it's nothing." I said. It's not like I just go to my friends and tell them that I am going to get married to a guy.

"Are you sure that everything is ok Nick?" Mark asked me.

I turned and looked at him and gave him a small smile. "Everything alright" I said and he nodded.

After the bell rang informing that the lunch was over we headed towards our class. Throughout the class I was thinking about the evening. Jessie informed me that Mr. and Mrs. Robert were coming today evening to meet me and I don't know what I am going to do. I was so deep into my thoughts that I don't even hear the bell ring.

Alex nudged me and told me to hurry up. I packed my all stuffs into my bag and left the class.

Throughout the ride back to home I was kept silent. Mark tried to start a conversation with me but I kept silent and he gave up.

When I reached my house I saw Jessie's car parked outside. I entered the house and closed the door behind me. I made my way to my room and freshened up myself. I fell back on the bed and closed my eyes.

I was woken up by the sound of a knock on my door. I opened my eyes and realized that I fell asleep. My aunt opened the door and came inside.

She looked nervous. "Nick, they are here" she said and I nodded.

We both left the room and made our way to downstairs. When we reached there I saw the couple sitting in one of the couch. They looked so elegant with their business outfits.

When they saw us they both stood up and smiled at us.

"Hi Nick, It's nice to meet you again. Let us introduce our self. My name is Ellen and this is my Husband Robert. I think Jessie already told you about everything." Ellen said still smiling.

I nodded but didn't return the smile.

We all fell into the silence no one dared to speak. So, I decided to break the silence.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don't want to get married to your son and I don't want to marry at this young age. I was still going to college. Is there any way to cancel the agreement?" I said trying to convince them.

Ellen smiled at me sadly and opened her mouth to speak but before she says anything Robert cut her off.

"Sorry Nick, but we can't do that. We failed to protect your parents, our friends but we want to keep the promise that we made to each other. We will do anything for that" he said and I sighed.

"Is your son even knows anything about this? Is he Gay?" I asked.

They looked each other and faced me. This time Ellen spoke.

"No, he is not gay and didn't know anything about this. But we will talk to him about this today." She said and it somewhat brightened my mood.

If he didn't know anything about this and he is not gay there is a chance that this Marriage will stop. If he is not okay with marrying another guy and if he convinces his parents then all of this will stop.

I smiled at the thought and Mrs. Robert saw me smiling and quickly replied.

"Don't worry about James. He has no other choices than to do what we tell him to do" she said and my smile dropped.

"We will let you know when the wedding date will be." She said and with that they left the house.

I get back to my room and fell on the bed thinking how my life was fucked up.

I still have some hope that the James guy will convince his parents and stop this marriage.
