Arranged: Forced [BOOK 2]

Sergio's POV

"You got to be joking." I laughed at what my papa was telling me.

"Sergio do I look like I'm joking." He sat there cold staring me into the eyes. He wants me to marry a woman I've never met. He decided my fate from the day I was born. Even before that.

"You have no right to make me do this!!" I yelled at him frustrated.

"SERGIO!! YOU'RE GOING TO MARRY THIS GIRL!!"

"IF YOU DON'T KISS YOUR CAREER GOODBYE!" He yelled at me. He knew the only thing I cared about was my career. I loved playing fútbol. It was the sport I loved since I was a kid. I sighed in defeat.

"Who is this girl." I said through gritted teeth and he smirked.

"I invited her family over for dinner tonight, so we could all meet each other." He said smugly.

We'll see who this girl is?

...

"Welcome Emiliano to my house!!" My papa greeted himself to the family. I rolled my eyes knowing this is the house I bought.

"And this is my son Sergio." He introduced me and all their eyes but one went on me. A girl in the back with her dark brown hair covering her face as she looked at the ground.

"Thank you Tomás." This man shook my papa's hand.

"This is my daughter Sofiá." The man pushed a skimpy looking girl caked in makeup in front of me. She looked up at me with a pouty face.

"Nice to meet you Sofiá, now which one of you is Emilia?" My papa asked the family and they all looked annoyed except the girl in the back.

"This is Emilia." Mrs. Delgado pushed the girl in the back in front of us. She stumbled as she shyly looked up. She quickly straightened her posture and stuck her hand out to my papa.

"Nice to meet you Emilia, this is my son Sergio." He said shaking her hands then directing her to me. I looked down at her dark brown eyes staring up at me. She stuck her hand out again but to me.

"Nice to meet you." She quietly said facing away from me. I took her hand into mines and shook it.

"Likewise." I coldly said to her and she sneaked a peek at me. She dropped my hand and slowly retreated back to her spot behind her family.

Why is she hiding?

...

Emilia's POV

We were sitting around the dining table. There was silence except the scraping of silverware against the plates.

"Emilia do you have any idea where you'd like to have the wedding." Mr. Hernandez asked me. I choked on my food caught by surprised. My Papa glared at me.

"U-um I don't mind as long as it's small." I softly said as I felt confusion from Mr and Mrs. Hernandez. Mrs. Hernandez let out a soft chuckle.

"Of course we'll keep it small since Sergio is really popular." She said with a kind smile. She seems nice.

"How about we go dress shopping tomorrow!" Mrs. Hernandez shouted out. I looked at her confused and Sofiá looked furious with how nice she was being to me.

"I think that's a great idea." My stepmother said. She sounded so nice but I could hear the undertone of annoyance under it. I was shivering scared to ask this question.

"Exactly how long until the wedding?" I blurted out just to get it over with. Mrs. Hernandez looked at me awkwardly. It felt like she knew exactly what I'm feeling.

"3 weeks."
