If Love Was Forced

Chapter 2: Marriage Conversations

"But how?"

I asked as my father grabs my hand. "I apologize dearly if we made a fast decision but I promise you that you and my son will be just right," Pietro explains to me. My dad looks me in the eye as I sigh and spoke.

"It's okay. I guess if it will help, I'm willing to agree." I declared as my dad smiles in happiness. "Thank you, dear for understanding." My dad whispers, at least he was delighted.

"Alejandro's birthday is next week, I'm sure that will be an excellent time for you both to meet," Pietro announces as I chuckle weirdly.

Why do rich people always have to make really fast decisions?!

"We should also start arranging the wedding," Maria declares as I almost choked on my tiramisu. Isn't it too fast? "Why so soon?" I interrogated with tension as I rapidly sipped my water. "The sooner the better," Maria clarifies as I almost wanted to vanish from this world.

I sigh in defeat and just concentrated on eating. I was kinda furious at my father for making decisions without warning me, this is still my life and I don't want to toss it all away just by marrying this Alejandro guy, that I don't even know!

After eating we all walked outside after paying the bill. Now it was finally time to say farewell. "Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Huxley," I say as I hugged them. "Call me mother dear," Maria spoke as I gave her a nod.

I and my dad settled inside the car as the driver started driving to the house. "I'm glad you didn't fail me, Camila." My dad says with irritation. "Dad, why didn't you tell me that you made a treaty with the Huxley's?" I asked my dad.

"Why do I need to explain to you, I'm your father and I can commend whatever I want." He says as I sigh in disappointment and just let him succeed, I know I'm still going to get arranged with someone even if I try to argue with my father, when he makes a decision he sticks to it.

When we got home, I hopped out of the car and went inside. The maids greeted as is smiled at them. I went upstairs to my room since I had so many things to do.

When I entered my room I saw how Miss Holly cleaned everything perfectly. I had to research this Alejandro Huxley because- I'm just curious. I placed my purse on my vanity and went to the shower.

After showering I did my skincare and changed into some comfortable clothes. After that, I went straight to my laptop. I searched in Alejandro Huxley and many articles popped up.

He was 24 years old and he was the President and CEO of Huxley Cooperation. He also modeled some known brands and was one of the hottest guys in the world.

Why am I not surprised? My dad was the one who picked him after all. I went to research some diseases for work. After that, I went to bed. I had such a horrible, surprising, and weird day today.

If I was asked, I don't want to marry someone but I can't do anything cause that's how it works. I'm frightened of the future more than the past because the future has many probabilities and some of those circumstances may be bad ones.

When I came back to my senses I didn't realize I was crying. I held the little heart charm on my necklace and closed my eyes. "I miss you, mom..." I whisper as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The Next Day

I woke at 6:00 today since I had a busy day at the hospital. I grabbed my hair tie and tied my hair up in a messy bun. I washed my face and brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. I walked out of the shower in my robe, walked over to my vanity, and put on some blush and lipstick. I straighten my hair and now brushed it slowly.

I walked over to my closet and choose a navy blue long-sleeved turtle neck with some white jeans. I guess this will work for work. I grabbed a pair of flats and grabbed my bag that had everything I need.

I walked out of my room and went downstairs. "Good morning," Gretchen says as she takes a bite of her toast, she's kinda like my best friend and assistant so she calls me Camila. "Morning," I say as the maids give me a plate of my usual pancakes with syrup.

as I and Gretchen were talking I told her what happened last night. "ok, so telling me that your father arranged you to marry Alejandro Huxley?!" she squeals as I nod. "Omg! you're like a princess Cam!" she exclaims as I looked at her startled.

"what do you mean? It's the worst I don't want to marry him!" I confess as she rolls her eyes. "have you caught a glimpse of Alejandro Huxley he's heavenly." she says as I roll my eyes. "well, I'm going to meet him next week on his birthday." I say plainly as she looks at me with a stupid grin on her face.

"Your so lucky," she says and I just laughed. "Miss Camila the car is ready, it's time to go." the driver said as I nod.

"let's go," I say as I grabbed my napkin and wiped my mouth. I take my bag and we walked out of the house and into the car. now it's time to start a busy day of work.
