my ruthless husband

chapter 11

         //Christina pov//

We got home about 2 hours later ,I came out the car as I headed for the door before I was beaten to it ,by a blonde old man ,who was  wearing   a grey tracksuit and some pair of sneakers who  was now currently  standing infront of me ,with a frown

I got a fright as I took a step back ,dad scared me there ,I looked down as I walked past him ,I was in no mood to greet him or spare him a glance at the moment after what happened yesterday

I went straight to my room as I closed the door shut behind me

I was now laying in bed looking up the ceiling,when my door slide open and mom stepped in with  bags in her hands

"Get up and try this ,your future husband's father will be fetching you today ,you need to look a bit presentable " I couldn't believe this ,I was only in this house for  2 days and they were already fed up of my presence and wanted me out as soon as possible

First the beating and now the going to the in-laws ,I wasn't getting married ,I  can't and this time I don't care if I get thrown into hot water or get sliced alive ,I won't agree to this for goodness sake I was nearly turning 20 am no kid ,I can make my own choices and decisions

I won't let this happen ,I had to tell mom that I couldn't carry on with this ,this whole marriage thing I knew nothing about.

This whole thing is  ridiculous  ,it doesn't make sense ,I've read of  it in books and considered it totally cliché ,I never thought people were cruel enough to do this ,force a daughter or son to marriage ,I can't do this , this whole thing is human trafficking,for goodness sake we're  in the 21th century things like this ain't suppose to be happening

And now am stuck in this mess ,what was I going to do ,I had to talk about this ,give my opinion ,I don't want to get married !, I was either going to speak civilised or scream every word out

"I...I'm not wearing that" I told mom in a very civilised way

"You what ?" Mom asked confused causing her eyes to twitch

"Am not going to wear that and am not going to be going to any in-laws ,I won't get married mother not now ,only until I meet the right person ,you can't decide who is going to marry me or whom I will be getting married too ,afterall am no property,am human with choices ,so you can't force anything on me ,I still have a life ahead of me ,I need to be independent before marriage ,granny told me that..." I received a slapped across my face ,I could feel my brain move after that slap

"What do you mean you won't get married ,you never learn after that beating I won't be the one  protesting",mom said as she pulled me really hard by the hair ,that pull felt like my hair was about to fall out one by one , that's how painful it felt at the moment

"I don't care if you pull me by the hair or slap me across the face ,I don't care what you'll do to me but I give you my word I am not getting married and that's final ,you won't force me ok" now I was looking at mom with a challenging expression

Those words only made mom really mad that I legit saw her hair in flames

"Ok ,wow when did you get so rebellious ,it probably must have been your gran that showed you all this ,how to disrespect your parents decisions ,how to become so rude isn't it " this lady is impossible I thought

"While listen here young lady ,you won't be leaving this house ever if you don't get married as soon as possible and to the guy we've chosen ,it would be better if you let go of your stupid courage and rebelliousness and just follow our decision ,cause remember dear you have no one , completely no one to wipe away your tears this time,your granny is far away from here and your dad ,well his another story don't you think , everyone whom you were so close to left you ,now you  be a good girl and listen to mommy or else Richard will kill you after hearing you say all this 'I won't marry thing' you hear me" mom said as she gently caressed my arm and later pulled the stream of hair away from my face

Her eyes looked so devilish and scary especially when she mentioned the whole 'Richard would kill me thing',she was right I wouldn't be leaving this house if I didn't get married and I didn't have anyone to cry on ,I was alone this time ,granny couldn't come here and dad ,oh that jerk of a man dad ,oh how I miss him and hate him at the same time won't be here to help me ,he left a long time ago

I really didn't know what to do ,should I say yes to this  matrimony thing and go far away from here or say no and stay in a hell hole ,where I won't be able to do much but just cry like all those sorry wipes I saw on TV

My head is in a turmoil at the moment ,what to do ,what to do ,oh lord if only you could get me out of this ,like you always use to it

"So..." Mom asked as she impatiently stomped her feet repeatedly
