"I was a groom. My dream was taken from me but now I stole it from someone else"
"I...I don't understand."
{You made a promise with a childhood friend you never thought you'll ever break until now. Being forced into an arranged marriage that you had...
I ran around happily in the park as I saw Victor trying to catch up. "Come on Victor," I happily yelled as I ended up dumping into someone. "I'm sorry," I squeal.
"It's ok but are you ok," I look up to meet the eyes of a boy looking around the age of eleven. I nodded my head as he held his hand out.
I grab his hand as he helped me up "Y/N are you ok?" Victor asked frantically as I giggled. "I'm fine," I happily said. "I'm Emiliano," He introduced himself as I smiled.
"I'm Y/N nice to meet you and this is my friend Victor," I happily said introducing myself. Emiliano smiles as I smiled back "Wanna play?" Emiliano curiously asked as me and Victor happily said yes.

"Why do you have to move," I cried as Emiliano tired to confort me. "I'm sorry Y/N but I have to," Emiliano tried to explain as I contuied to cry. "First, momma dies now your moving away," I cried out loud as Emiliano pulled me into a hug.
"Y/N I promise one day I will come and find you and when I do I promise I will marry you," Emiliano promise as I whip my tears away.
"Pinky promise," I held out my pinky as Emiliano smiles. "Pinky promise," Emiliano said wrapping his pinky around mine.
"I have something for you," Emiliano said as he took a locket out of his pocket. "Promise me you'll never take this off," Emiliano said putting the locket around my neck.
"I promise," I said as I gaze at the locket. Emiliano kissed my cheek as I watch him enter the carriage as it left town.
~Your Pov~
"Y/N," my stepmother called out to me as I snap out of my thoughts."Y/N we have to hurry we're on a tight schedule," My stepmother said as Sophie tightens my corset even tighter. I sigh as I stood up as Sophie helped me get dress. (I do not own this image)

I look at myself in the mirror putting on my locket. 'Why can't I remember his name or face' I thought as I looked down at the locket.
"Y/N you must hurry up," Father said as I nodded my head as we headed outside into the carriage. I sigh as I lean in back a bit as the carriage ride would be a bit long.
I look down at the locket as I held it close to my heart. "Y/N it's nonproper for a lady to play around with her jewelry," My stepmother scolded me as I look out the window. I hear stepmother sighs as I contuied to ignore her.
"Y/N darling your stepmother just want the best for you," Father tried to reassure me but I knew he was taking her side like always. I didn't even bother to face them "Y/N you never told me the story about how you got that locket," Stepmother said as I looked at her. I look down at my locket.
"It was given to me by an old childhood friend of mine. He promises one day he'll find me and will get married," I explain as I slightly smile remembering his exact words. Stepmother started to laugh.
I narrow my eyes "What's so funny," I asked a bit angry. "You really believe he'll come and find you. He might be already married and already forgotten about you," Stepmother explains as I grip my dress.
"You don't even know him," I raised my voice as my father looked at me a bit angry. "Y/N that's no how you speak to your stepmother," Father scolded me as I crossed my arms. Only a minute later the carriage made a full stop.
"We're here," The drive announced as I was helped out of the carriage. I look at the Everglot home as I was a bit nervous to enter.
My father and stepmother went in first as I follow behind "Lord and Lady Everglot. Lord and Lady (L/N)," The butler announced. "It's wonderful to see you again Maudeline," Stepmother happily said as Mrs. Everglot smiles.
"Good to see you again too S/N (stepmother name)" Mrs. Everglot smiled. "Welcome to our home," Mr. Everglot happily said.
Mrs. Everglot ended up noticing me "This must be Y/N," Mrs.Everglot asked my parents as they nodded their heads.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lady Everglot," I bow down as I notice she was satisfied. "Pleasure is all mine dear. Will be taking tea in the west wing," Mrs. Everglot said as we followed along.
"Oh, my dear wait here Vicent will be down in a moment," Mrs. Everglot told me as they closed the doors. I sigh as I notice a piano I walked over to it and played a few keynotes as I smiled. I started to play a melody.
"I sense there's something in the wind...That feels like tragedies at hand...And though I'd like to stand by him. Can't shake this feeling that I have...The worst is just around the bend." I started to sing.
~Vicent Pov~
I started to finish getting ready meeting my fiancee as I wish my younger sister Victoria was here. "And does he notice, my feelings for him? And will he see, how much he means to me? I think it's not to be...," I started to hear a beautiful singing voice. I walk out of the room starting to follow the voice.
"What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd. In their enthusiastic cloud. Try as I may it doesn't last," I look over the balcony to see a beautiful lady singing. I slowly made my way down the staircase "And will we ever, end up together? Oh......And will we ever...End up together? No, I think not, it's never to become...For I am not... the one," She finishes singing.
"You sing beautifully," I compliment her as she seemed startled. "Oh thank you," She thanked me. I heard the door opening to relieve Victoria and her husband Victor. "Victor?" Y/N curiously said as Victor smiled. "Y/N it's you," Victor happily said as they hugged. Y/N turned to my sister Victoria.
"It's so good to see you again," Y/N happily said as Victoria smiles "You too Y/N," Victoria happily said. "You finally made it. We must hurry it's time for rehearsal," Father called out as Y/N and I followed my father to rehearsal.
~Your Pov~
"Is everyone ready," Pastor Galswells asked as I nodded my head. "Now Ms. (L/N), repeat after me. With this hand, I shall lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine," Pastor Galswells reads off.
"With this hand, I shall lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness," I said as everyone seemed pleased in the room. But I knew this wasn't right. I couldn't marry him...I made a promise and I can't break it. "Please continue Ms. (L/N)," Pastor Galswells said.
I look at Vicent then back at my parent's. "I'm sorry but I can't," I confess as I heard gasps in the room. "Y/N what is the meaning of this!" Stepmother yelled as I couldn't handle her anymore. "I'm engaged to someone else," I admitted as the Everglots seemed frustrated.
"YOU STUPID GIRL THAT WAS WHEN YOU WERE SIX. HE PROBABLY HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU. HE PROBABLY MARRIED ANOTHER GIRL OR EVEN BETTER DIED," Stepmother yelled in frustration. She doesn't know him how could she say those awful words.
"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM," I yelled back until I felt a sting on my cheek. Then I just realized it my own father slapped me... "HOW COULD YOU YELL AT YOUR OWN MOTHER APOLOGIZE NOW," Father demanded. My own father took that slut side.
"Never she's not even my mother. She died when I was only six years old," I said as I felt tears rolling down my cheeks as I ran out of the room.
