Rosa pov

Daniel really had lost his mind! He was acting like a dough-bag. He almost kidnapped me and imprisoned me in one of his parents' houses. I was terribly scared of him! From the house more to be honest.

And from myself.

My heart started to give me weak signals, I was scared that I might fall for his charm and possessiveness again. He shattered my heart into a million pieces when he cheated on me. I’d emotionally suffered and struggled to find peace and to put myself and my heart back into the right path.

I wanted to leave him immediately. But seriously as much as I knew that I had to accept fate and my father wish. As much as I was worried that my plans to ditch him on the wedding would not work.

So, I decided to do my very first plan to get him angry and make him cancel the wedding. I knew how stubborn he was.

But he was the same caring person I knew, even so, he locked me in this dark house in order to force me to accept him as a husband but when he heard my screams he immediately rushed to me and hugged me.

The awful vengeful feelings that I had to him almost vanished at this moment, as if I was brainwashed just by once embracing from his warm chest. Just by looking into his worried face! As if nothing had happened. As if my heart never been cured of his deep love. As if I became me one more time.

Except that— my brain refuses to kneel and let him hurt me again. I was finally feeling like an independent woman, free from his love and tender words spell, I would never get back to the old path and let him toy with my heart. It wasn’t a game. It shouldn’t be a war.

While I was snuggling to his chest all night, I comfortably fell asleep. I couldn’t deny it. He used to be my home and I used to be his only best-trusted friend.

Joke! Lies! He forgot everything between us just for a one-night sexual affair. How could I forget what I had seen? Him having much fun and pleasure with another girl?

At the end of too many thoughts, I ended up with only the decision to bother him and tease him and run away before the wedding if I got any chance.

He woke up and I closed my eyes, he sighed and leaned to kiss my cheeks “I missed you. Rosa.”

I pretended that I’m still sleeping, but his words moved something in my heart. He pulled himself slowly from the bed and stood up walking slowly as if he didn’t want to disturb my deep sleep.

I opened one eye to check if he’s gone or not and once I saw him walking to the bathroom. I jumped off the bed and stride the door of the room to run away. It was morning already and the sun lightened all over the place.

But the doorknob didn’t open up with me. I tried my best but no chance. I heard him chuckle loudly “I didn’t trust you, so I locked the door with the key.”

I grumbled and turned my body slowly “I hate you! I want to get out of here. Why are you doing this? I don’t want to marry you.”

I crossed my arms over my chest cursing him under my breath and throwing him with up and down looks.

He smirked and walked closer to me, I stepped back, my back was already trapped to the door, “what do you want from me?” I squealed louder hoping that might stop him.

He snorted “ugh, don’t overreact.”

Sort of!

But still, I shrieked “I will never accept you as my husband.”

He scoffed and rubbed his chin then placed his both hands to my head “try to do it and I promise you that I will make your life like hell.”

Competitively I dared him “and how is that? Are you going to kill me?”

He leaned to my ear and said teasingly threatening me “no, I will tell everyone that I broke up with you because I busted you in bed with my best friend a year ago.”

He pulled back and winked at me.

“What! But I did! I found you fucking this girl. How could you lie?” I nagged in disbelief. Cheaters can lie for sure. They’re like thieves who have no morals.

He caressed my cheeks “have you finished saying bullshit?”

I raised my brows watching him walking away and giving me his back “I’m not saying bullshit! Tell me what you want from me? Why do you insist on marrying me?”

“I hate you, Daniel charl!”

He retorted back “and I hate you, Rosa Garrett.”

I gasped “then why do you want to marry me?”

He turned his body immediately and yelled “because you broke my heart! You left me without listening to me. I’m marrying you for revenge!”

“what!”

When his cell phone started ringing that interrupted our weird awful conversation, he walked to the nightstand and picked up “yes, sure. Tonight? That will be awesome. Thanks, dad.”

Then he hung up.

I wanted to ask him.

But he speedily in a boring tone said “get ready, we are getting married tonight.”

I trembled and flinched dumbfounded “what? Tonight! Why. Please, daniel. Isn’t that enough that you broke my heart a year ago? Please, I don’t want to marry you. Let’s be friends.”

He chuckled “friends? I fucked you rosa! I made love to you. You were my first and will be my last one.”

I gulped nervously looking at his facial expressions but I pulled together my gut and nodded “okay then. But you won’t be my last one. I promise you.”

“what the hell did you mean by that?”

I ignored him.

He walked closer to me and pulled my hand roughly “look at me and tell me what do you mean by that?”

I zipped my mouth. He groaned and pushed me back.

And only commanded me "let’s get ready. Time to go to the church now. And don't even think of running away.”

I grinned widely and Mutley teasing him.

He growled “dammit! Don’t draw this teasing smirk.”

I shrugged and linked my arms to his “let’s go then.”

He eyeballed me weirdly with doubt and un-trust but he had no chance. But I had one… to run and run and run.

Or that's what I had thought— how idiot I was!

We finally got out of this ghost house, he pushed me to the passenger door and locked the doors. He drove back to my parent's house. He only stopped by to say something to my parents “what! I need to go.”

He shook his head “no, we are only here to get your stuff. Stay here.”

I wanted to get out of the car but he locked all the doors. I fumed in anger. It was a trap for me. I had no idea why he kept acting as if it really was the one who broke his heart! Dammit!

I didn’t get frustrated nor surrendered to my escape chances before the wedding. I knew that I would never be able to stand in the church and say no, I don’t want to marry him because that would make my parents hate me for unrespecting them and adding to that ruining my family reputation. So, I had to run before that.

A groom without a bride would be a funny thing. He deserved that. I left without taking my revenge from him. But since he insisted on broke and fuck up my life again, I was ready to send him to hell.

He came back to the car and a lot of bags dangling from his arms. He drove again and mentioned “this is our wedding dress. Now it’s time to go to the church. Everyone is waiting.”

I hissed “what do you mean by everyone?”

He leaned and kissed my cheeks.

I rubbed my cheeks in disgust and said bitterly “I hate you.”

He shrugged his shoulders as if he had no dignity at all. How could anyone force someone to marry him?

We reached the church in the neighborhood, what should I say? All the neighbors were there invited already. And his entire family!

Dammit!

I saw his friend Sam by the door, he rushed toward us, he didn’t look happy with the wedding. So, I thought of using him to help me.

But Daniel immediately pushed him away “back off from my bride, sam.”

Sam glared at me then to Daniel “why?”

Sam didn’t reply. But he dragged me to one of the church rooms and then pushed me inside. I found my mom there. And hairstylist “mom, I don’t want to get married this soon.” I blurted out once I saw her. I wanted to give her a decent excuse.

She opened her mouth shocked “why do you want to kill us? We want you to get married and have your family! You loved him!”

I was going to tell her everything. But the tears welled in her eyes and that was enough for me to shut my mouth and do what my parents wanted.

I faked a wide smile and said to the hairstylist “let's begin then.”

Everything was going fast on time. But I was still thinking of running away, especially after I had finished wearing my dress and putting on my light makeup. And after my mom left the room to ask my father to come and lead me down the aisle.

In a blink of an eye, I ran to the door and opened it to only find guards blocking my path, one of them pulled the doorknob and shut it while saying “miss, you can’t run.”

And that was it— Daniel kidnapped me into this marriage!

I was looking into my parent's eyes, and I couldn’t say anything except “I do.”

And Daniel said immediately said, “I do.”

Then he leaned and wrapped his arms over my chest and kissed my lips and pulled back whispering to my ears “I hate you, rosa.”

I wanted to kick him in his balls, but all the eyes were on us, I only whispered back “I’ll make your life like hell. I promise.”

He lifted me between his arms and waved to everyone “I will make you regret leaving me for a whole year and dating other guys.”

“I will—”

I paused because the words made me think who told him that I dated other guys? Mila?
