YES I'm an Introvert- no I'm not depressed or anti-social. It's just that I get more energized when I'm alone and I go drained when around people. If you can't accept me then don't even bother changing who I am.

-June Griffin

Who would have thought a 20 year old introvert like me would end up being engaged to a famous celebrity named Ryder Strauss.

For the past 20 years of my existence, never did I imagined myself to wed a stranger. It's not like my life is one of those typical wattpad stories or any stories for that matter.

"June Sevenelle Griffin. What's with the cold eyes?"my mother Elizabeth Griffin snapped at my cold stares. Can't blame me, I just happened to finish my college degree from online schooling and I get an instant engagement for a present? Oh gosh spare me the details please.

"Honey, give our daughter some time to understand the situation."my father Robert Griffin calmed my mother as he handed her a cup of tea. I didn't bother to say a word, they are used to me being silent like ALL the time.

"But Robert, she should be grateful there's a guy we found worthy for her to marry."my mother exclaimed with such annoyed tone.

I can't blame her, she must be desperate to find me a man to marry. 20 years of my life, I never ever talked to anyone besides my parents. Yep! I don't have friends, no siblings and even the helpers working with us never spoke to me. That's how serious my being introvert is. I just can't stand being around people, I don't even talk to my parents much. Well at least I made it clear that I'm no mute nor deaf.

"Okay, you go ahead and rest. I'll talk to our daughter."my father said as he guided my Mom towards their room. I just sat at the middle of the couch not saying a word.

Well to be honest, I never wished to be like this, God knows how many times I tried to change myself but it just made clear to me that this is who I am, and it won't ever changed.

My dad came back to the living room, he sat on a couch across mine. We stared at each other for a whole 5 minutes before he started talking.

"Okay. Quit your silent treatment young lady. Tomorrow we will go to a psychologist to help with your condition."my dad started off.

"I'm not insane."I told him. Yes, I talk with my Dad comfortably.

"Still, we will meet your future husband in a week time."he said which caught me off guard.

"Look Dad, I really don't need to get married."I guess that was the longest thing I've said to him so far.

He then stared right into my eyes before he released a sigh.

"I know it's difficult for you to understand our decision but this is for your own good. Ryder is a great young man, I've talked to him about your situation and it wasn't hard for him to like you."my Dad said in his serious tone. Like me? Who would like a stranger right?

"Look Dad, fine. I'll go meet that guy but on my own."I said to him. My Dad was taken aback for a moment. Then he smiled.

"Dad would be great sweety."he said as he stood up and hugged me. I hope my decision would be a good idea.

What's going on?

I just slept in a few hours and this happened?

"Ms. Griffin."a guy in a police uniform caught my attention. I couldn't hold back the tears I've been fighting over to hide. "I'm so sorry. But your parents are dead."he added in low voice just as much I could hear him.

"What?"I asked horrified.

"Yes Ms. Griffin, according to your parents will. You will be staying with your fiancee."my Father's attorney said.

Oh no, this is not happening.

I'm going to live with a stranger?
