Arranged Marriage| Joel Pimentel

Joel POV

" Do I really have to do this?" I asked annoyed at my parents decision

" Joel, you're about to be a president, you have to walk in with the one and only" My father said

" But I don't even know this girl, like there is so many way to get to know each other" I said

" Joel, you are going to marry that girl even if you don't want" My father said

" Your an ass, when I become a president I'm going to break this generation shit you have" I said rolling my eyes

" Watch your language" My father said

" You guys didn't have to go through this, you guys actually knew each other because you are literally hanged out all the time" I said, my parents had met before he was president. I don't see any tradition between them.

" Get ready Joel, we are having dinner with the Gonzales" My father said as he pointed at the door

I walked all the way to my room. I grabbed the first thing I saw which was my all black suit since that's all I wear.

I can't believe I'm doing this shit. I'm only 18 year old and I had to many thing ahead but now some girl is stopping me. I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door to see my mother.

" love, are you ready?" She asked

" I believe so" I said as I walked out the door

" You look handsome" My mother said as she fixes my tie

" Thanks mom" I said

We got into the limo. Passing through a nice neighborhood where houses were just huge and beautiful. We had arrived to the Gonzales House.

" Joel, please make a good impressing" My father said as he got off the car

"Welcome, come on in" I believed her name was Abigail, the mother of my soon to be wife.

" Joel, come on in, Isabella will be here soon" Abigail said

" Hi guys, I'm Aiden" A little boy said as he stand by the hall

" mhm my momma and papa said to head to the table" He directed us to it

" Aiden, thank you very much" My mother said as she sat next to me

" Good afternoon" The father of Isabella came into the dining hall

" Hello sir" I said as I stand to shake his hand

" Call me Geovany " He said shaking my hand, why did you have to make a daughter? I would have been with someone else

" We are having a problem" Abigail said as she was worried and panicking

" What's wrong?" My mother said as she stand to help her

" Isa, she not in her room" She said

"There no way she escaped, all her windows are locked" Alex said as he turns around in frustration

" We will send security and the national guard on search for her" My father said

" How about we just forget this? Don't you see she doesn't want to get married, she only 16 years old, I'm 18 and we are still looking for what we want" I said as I stand

" Joel, don't even say a word, not all your life is going to be about you" My father yelled

" No! All my life is been about you, you made me be with people with class, go to private school, you chose my friends, and you never listened to me, will you ever understand me?" I said as I hold my tears

" You are doing the marriage" My father said....

•Isabella POV

" Daniel, we have to go now" I said as I rushed him

" I'm basically kidnapping you" Daniel said as he drives

" I don't fucking care, as long as I can be with you" I said holding his hand

" I can't do this" Daniel said as he looked at me

My phone ringed, My friend, Yaris texted me " I don't know where you are but the National Freaking Guard is searching for you! Call me when you are safe"

" Daniel, they are finding me! We have to go, I can't lose you" I said as I start stressing

He drives somewhere. The park, our favorite place for us to go. Where we had our first date.

"As long as I get to see the sunset with you, I'll be happy" Daniel said as he kiss my lips

We ran to the tree where we would get up. The tree was really good covered so it was really hard for someone to notice us.

" Daniel, I love you" I said as I wrapped my arms around his next as we sat in the tree

" I can't believe I might lose you" Daniel said

" You are not, I'm going to stay with you even if they are separating us" I said

We both kept silence as we just looked at each other and the sunset. Daniel was the only guy I ever wanted. My life is complete next to him.

" Bella, don't move or talk, they are here" Daniel silently whispered in my ear really quiet

" She is nowhere to be found" I heard someone speaking

" There is someone here, bring the dogs" Another voice.

I hope we don't get caught. My life is over. I knew these fuckers will eventually find us. Those dogs can smell hell if they can.

" The tree" That's when we knew it was over, that's when we knew we had to expose ourself.

" Isabella Gonzales, we have found you, I demand you to get off"

I jumped out of the tree. I held Daniel hand as tight as I could. I wasn't letting him go anywhere

" Miss, we have to get going" A security lady said

" I'm not going anywhere, No one can decide what I want, you have to understand, he is the love of my life, I can let someone else control my life"I said as I begged her to let me go

" Life is cruel, if things are meant to be, they will get back together" She said

The security guard came towards both of us. They grabbed Daniel after me. I screamed his name as we both were getting separated from each other. I saw how the took him away. They put me in the car and left everything that I had was Daniel Veda.
