Today is the day I am going to meet my fiance. I was told by my father to dress properly and be presentable as they are from an old-money or old rich family.
"Ms. Evans, I was told by your father that he needs you to be ready before 7 this evening. The Andrews will arrive shortly." Said one of our servants.
My father came from a very wealthy family, that's why we are living in luxury. He's a businessman and what makes him feel motivated is having a lot of money. That's why when Andrews asked for my hand for marriage, he immediately agrees and convince me to marry him.
Van Andrews, I knew him. He is one of the most successful bachelors of our time. He is known to be someone who is gorgeous and smart. That's why I can't understand why his father requested me to marry his son Van Andrews when there are a lot of pretty girls out there.
I always admired Van for being successful. I knew him only from his commercials. It's the first time that I'm meeting his parents and I must admit that I don't know what to expect from them.
I've done my make-up well, I've brushed my hair and the last thing that I have to do is wear my gown. My parents didn't tell me what time they will be arriving. I was looking at the new bracelet that my parents gave me. The bracelet was very beautiful and I love it so much.
I am sure my father is going to look at it as soon as he sees it. I wonder what he would think of it.
Oh, my God! It's 7 o'clock already and no one has come to our home. I am starting to feel uneasy.
I waited for my parents to leave for work and I decided to dress up nicely before coming to our house. I put on my red high heels and I pinned my long hair to one side. I was wearing my favorite dress that made my legs look very slim and I wore a black cardigan over the dress. I thought that my dress was very stylish.
I looked around my room and I was amazed. It was so clean and tidy. It was a great feeling for me. I can say that everything was perfect.
The house seemed to be quiet so I decided to go to the living room to wait. I was so excited. I was afraid that my parents won't come home today.
I started to think of all the things that I have to tell them. They are the first time that I am meeting Van's parents and I wanted to make a good impression.
I was surprised to see Van standing at our doorstep. He is a handsome man with long brown hair and a good physique. He was wearing a tight black shirt and black jeans.
I had never seen him in those clothes before. He was so handsome.
I opened the door for him. "Thank you for coming" I smiled.
Van stood there. Looking gorgeous with his suit, beside him were his parents. They all look amazing and expensive.
Van stepped into the house. He was looking at me. I was trying to stay calm. I did not know what to say or do. He came close to me and he smelled so good.
"Pleasure to meet you," he said coldly.
His mother chuckled before she looks at my mother "I am very sorry for being late, Amanda. We had some problems traveling here as our driver got sick all of a sudden. Thankfully, Van here likes driving." She said as she praises her son.
Her husband beside her greeted my father and mother too.
"That's not a problem, Vanessa. We are just glad that you could come."
The dinner started and I am just sitting quietly. In front of me is Van who looks bored while listening to our parents talk about our engagement. My parents are talking about some stuff and I have been listening to them for so long that I have now stopped hearing them.
All I could see is Van. And his black gaze, his cold eyes boring down at me. The table was big. It could fit all of us. Van was sitting beside his mother, beside me is my mother. I looked at Van and met his eyes. He smirked at me.
I looked away. I was just shy. I was just looking at him.
Van opened his mouth to speak, "Mother, may I have a moment with Shey?" he suddenly said, making everyone look at the two of us. "I just want a moment with my fiancee," he continued.
I was nervous, I don't know why he suddenly wants to have a moment with me. "Of course, Van. Take your time. Don't get entangled." Mrs. Vanessa Andrews said.
Van looked at me. "I won't bite you, shall we?" he said.
I flushed, I was embarrassed.
Van cleared his throat, "I want to have a moment with my fiancee in private." he said again.
His mother looked at him, "Van, I mean, dear, I see Shey is sitting here, if you want anything you can ask her."
"I will." He smiled at me, I blushed again.
Both of them stood up. I was confused. What's Van's problem with me?
He took me by my hand and dragged me to the garden. "I hope you're aware that this is just an arranged marriage and we are not obliged to do the husband and wife duties, right?" he asked.
"O-of course... I don't know why you have to drag me here just to talk about that." I looked away.
Van looked annoyed, "I hope you're not one of those girls who wants to have sex with me so bad."
My heart skipped a beat, I knew what he meant.
"How dare you!" I said angrily.
"Just want to remind you to keep your delusions. We're just marrying each other for money."
