Chapter 1

"Seat straight on the table Dané , do not look up, that's a sign of disrespect, look down when he is talking ..do not talk back ,walk from this side till there ...no stop, stop it! Not like that Dané "

Coach? ..I bet you thought it's my coach right? ..

No she's my mother , teaching me the do's and don't when I'm finally the president's son wife.

For some reason my mother finds it appropriate for a vice-president's daughter to marry the president's son.

My father? ..He was the kinda man that would agree to everything his wife wanted ..he was a busy man most of the time out with the president and went on business trips.

And sometimes he would be out for the whole month , he would call now and then when he gets time to ...well that's what he says ,I think that he forgets most of the time that he had a family, because he spent all his time working .

And my mother? ...she was the woman that made decisions in the house. My mother and I never had the mother-daughter type.a relationship ,maybe because all she thought about was me marrying Kayle and being the most deserving wife for him. I mean, we live in the 21st century.

Same as my father , we were not that close, in my house it felt like you lived in your own personal world.

One lives in their own world but not fully minding their own life's .. mostly they were minding mine and managing mine

Trying to fix my life , trying to perfect and polish my life

"Mother Kayle won't mind we..."

"Dané you have to get this straight , your marriage is in a month and in about 2 weeks Kayle will be back from Africa !" She cuts me short, simply ignoring what I was about to say.

Mom ,I mean mother ,that was what she preferred to be called not mom nor mommy...she shouted looking at me with the most disappointed and annoyed face ever before, motioning for me to leave her in the study alone.

"You just don't listen, we've been doing the same thing over and over again for the past 5 days" She murmured softly clearly to herself thinking that I didn't hear her, she pointed by the door for me to leave.

I smiled slyly looking down so that she doesn't notice my pleased face

For some unknown reason I loved disturbing my mother and I loved annoying her.

Because that's the only thing she felt for me 'annoyence' ...I never felt that she loved me , maybe that's because I don't remember hearing her say those words , let alone her showed that. From childhood my mother was so keen on making me the perfect wife, to find a business tycoon, and for me to manage father's business with that man I'd be married with

kind of makes me feel like the princes sleeping beauty she never got the time to enjoy life as it was. Imagine being forced on a marriage with a guy you don't know, well in my case he has been my best friend since childhood, but I still have similarities with sleeping beauty, and really need that prince that will take me away from here.

As I walked to my room passing maids that simply looked down and nodded greeting me silently then quickly went back to work, dusting off the corners of the wall and the window frames not minding what I was doing.

Sometimes I would try and talk to them when I'm bored but they would simply look at me like I was doing something forbidden.

Some would even tell me that my mother has forbidden them from talking to me, that I must act like a vice president's daughter and not talk to people beneath me and remain on my high standards.

That rule annoyed me, since there was nobody to keep me company.

Nothing bored me like my mother's rules , I couldn't go out , I'm was not allowed to talk to someone beneath me like maids and stuff, if I need anything I must let my guard know or my maids that hardly said a word when I was around.

As soon as I got into my room I quickly closed the door and locked it , and went back to what I was trying to do for weeks now , I looked through the window , looking at where the guards were standing. There were 2 by the gates and 2 right under my my window

"In about 3 minutes from now the two standing under my window will go to lunch and will be back after 10 minutes or so I have only 5 minutes to get down from the window before one of the guards from the gate look this side"

I said to myself calculating the time I had to get out of this house it wouldn't be that hard to get out from the fence since there were no guard guarding there.

In that though one of the guards looked at his wristwatch before tapping the other guard and headed to the back yard

"Time to go " I exclaimed in excitement talking in a low voice made sure that I wouldn't make any noise ..I quickly fastened my belt unfortunately I had to go barefoot , never bought any trainer shoes

"Ohh god "

I mumbled to myself holding my breath before climbing out of the window and quickly went down, made carefully sure that when I jump down a loud thud won't be heard.

I stood still after the jump trying to hear if someone heard me ...after a minute of not hearing anything I ran for the fence made of rocks , so scared of being seen I quickly went up holding one rock after the other climbing up as fast as I could continually looking back for any guards.

For some crazy reason I found myself smiling when I finally set on top of the fence, I felt so proud of myself that I made it this far , two days ago I was caught about to climb out the window.
