Yep. Just like this, everything settled and I was forced to get married to a person I don't even remember seeing but have heard too many things about I didn't dare imagine.

I couldn't sleep at all last night. The fact that my own aunt was doing this to me was unbearable to me. It was too painful-my own flesh and blood was doing this to me- It was hard to believe, but this is what happened to me.

Yesterday after Lylah told me about my parents' ashes, we didn't talk anymore. What could I tell her? What could I possibly tell the person who was threatening to throw away the ashes of her own sister and brother in law If I didn't listen to her? Even still I couldn't figure out why she was insisting too hard that I marry Lucian Adams!

I waited for Archie to arrive, met him and came back to my apartment. Archie became so happy upon seeing me-I did too-but I could be happier under different circumstances.

I thought about getting the ashes somehow, that way Lylah couldn't force me anymore. Well, as everything, easier said than done. I even asked Archie about it, once Lylah wasn't there, but he didn't know anything about where they were. And simply I couldn't just look every corner in that house to find them.

I asked Archie not to tell anything about me asking about those ashes to Lylah, then he was getting somewhat suspicious about everything, but I managed to convince him it's nothing, by saying I don't wanna upset Lylah by reminding her again about the ashes of her dead sister. How ironic. She was the one who did the exact thing to me.

And here I was sitting on my bed, hugging my knees, thinking about these. I was seriously getting married. For real.

Since I didn't sleep properly I was up early-5 in the morning to be exact. Looking at the clock, it was 6:30 now. I was pretty much messy from yesterday. I decided to take a shower and get to work.

It was 7:10 when I was completely ready and left. In the entrance of my apartment's building, again I encountered Timothy. Thinking about all those things Rosie was imagining would happen, a bitter smile made its way on my lips.

Timothy was just like yesterday, so full of energy and joyful. "Good morning Timothy, we met again."

" Ah Kristina! It's indeed a good morning that I saw you." He grinned. "Oh! Did you get to your meeting on time yesterday?" He asked genuinely.

Remembering how rudely I left him yesterday, I became embarrassed. I rubbed the back of my neck, "Yep I arrived on time, but the other person was late, which resulted in the whole meeting being canceled. Apart from that, yesterday was such an eventful day for me." I mumbled the last part. "Oh, by the way I have to apologize to you, I didn't leave you so politely yesterday. I'm sorry." I said sincerely.

He put his hand on my shoulder-which was so warm and, good I suppose? "Oh nonsense. There's no problem! In fact it's me who should apologize, when grandma came to know I met you, she scolded me as to why I didn't invite you in... You know, I'm an adult now but still she scolds me like I'm a kid!" He chuckled. I couldn't help laughing too, I was feeling better after meeting Timothy.

He continued, "So I wanted to ask now, if you could come have dinner with us tonight?"

"Umm, I don't have any plans for tonight so why not? I'll be very glad to." I smiled. Tonight will be a great night, I already knew. And just for today, I wanted to forget about everything.

"That's awesome! So I'd better go tell this to grandma. Oh tell me, I didn't do anything wrong right? She wouldn't scold me now?" He winked. He's so funny.
