Sold to Mr. Arrogant

Forced marriage

In the morning, Jessy was applying my makeup for me, I had to trick Shawn into thinking that

everything is okay. I thought about telling him but I knew that Gerald would still do what he wants even

if his son disapproved. I didn't want to bet on my friends' lives.

"Thanks, Jessy," I mumbled.

"No problem, I will pray for you, Lily,"

"Thanks, dear,"

I got downstairs to eat breakfast with the man who ruined my life, it wasn't my biological dad nor 18

years old dad but this man particularly who fuckin ruined everything.

"Why didn't you tell me directly, Lily, You agreed to marry me?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah, I would love to, as you said I am attracted to you, also Gerald asked me to so I couldn't

disagree," I mentioned.

"That is quite sudden, I am surprised..." Shawn continued.

"I am happy though," he added.

"You shall make sure that you take good care of her," Gerald instructed.

"No worries,"

We finished our meal and headed to the car, before I hop in I was pulled towards Shawn's chest, he

hugged me strongly.

"I have a feeling that dad struck a deal with you but I don't mind. I already like the idea of marrying

you," he started.

"Me too," I lied.

We hopped in the car and reached college, I tried to act cool as much as I could. Alicia might have

noticed that I wasn't alright but she didn't mention anything about it. I bet she had her own problems as

well, everyone has his own problems after all.

I came back to my prison and arrangements were in process, the wedding will be held at the mansion

and a lot of people would be invited. A lot of people would be invited? I repeated in my head. Isn't

Gerald afraid that his family's reputation would be tarnished if they were to investigate my background?

Is acquiring the company under my name that worth it? I went up to my room and searched the history

of ChemiPharma alongside the OctoPharma company. What I understood from what was written is that

OctoPharma would be able to monopolize the whole industry of chemicals and drugs if they put their

hands on their rival company ChemiPharma.

This project is huge just as I have speculated, this is something that won't only allow Gerald to take

over the whole chemicals industry in the country but in the continent as well. I started having a feeling

that he might have killed his brother on purpose, I do not know anymore... I expect anything from

someone like him.

I wonder what would Mr. Siergo do when this happens? Mr. Siergo? I searched the name online and

discovered that he is a newly listed billionaire himself. Does that mean that he might be able to fight on

equal grounds with Gerald? I installed VPN and made a fake account from which I contacted Mr.

Siergo.

If he knows that the heiress of ChemiPharma is being threatened into a marriage, he will do everything

he can to expose this news to the press in order to annihilate the validity of Gerald's rights to control

my shares.

I sent him a message hoping that he doesn't know any good hackers, my secret identity would be

exposed by a good hacker in a matter of minutes. I had to take the risk though, I know that Siergo is

the most one who would be damaged by this marriage.

' Check Mr. Indigo's will and you will understand why is Gerald marrying his son to a nameless girl. '

After a while, I received a message on my mobile phone. I checked it out and it was Siergo who

forwarded it to me. I was surprised, did he track my location and got my phone number this quickly?

I soon understood what happened when I fully read the message.

' Hello, little one. I am glad that you have contacted me first, you are bright just like your father was. I

am already aware of your father's will, I was his right-handed man after all. I know under whose name

he wrote his properties and I also know your true identity. I will make sure to put an end to Gerald’s era.

I have to play it slowly and carefully though if we want to catch him red-handed. I am sorry I am using

you this way and I hope you help me from the inside from now on.' Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

This is how the powerful people play, secretly and carefully. That is why he let me leave that day, he

already knew my intentions. He is using me to his advantage, I guess that relying on Siergo is a better

option than waiting for Gerald to release me. I felt a little bit more hopeful...

' I will count on you.' I sent him in agreement as I had no other choice.

I deleted the messages and hopped in my bed. Tomorrow's my wedding, Jessy has delivered me the

dress and I will have to wake up early to supervise all the arrangements. I was told that I can invite my

friends but I just can't. I can't lie to them saying that I marrying out of love. I won't be able to tolerate

people's jealousy when I do not even want to be a part of this marriage.

The sun was rising, I still couldn't sleep knowing that I will marry when I wake up. I received several

messages last night, there were all from my friends, I could not reply though which made me so upset

but I couldn't do anything about it.

It was 6 pm and the vast greenhouse around the mansion was filled with many guests. I wore my dress

and watched myself in the mirror as my makeup artist applied makeup for me. My dress was fabulous,

to be honest, but its beauty is useless if I am forced to wear it, to begin with.

I got out of the mansion and everyone was waiting for the bride to walk along the aisle, I was surprised

when I spotted all my friends and acquaintances. How are they here? I wondered.
