My grandmother was a kind lady, so kind that one day while  walking down in the street and she found a homeless boy, she looked at the poor little creature with loving eyes and the first idea that came to her head was: I'm going to raise this child up! He's my son from today onwards!

Not only did she oppose to her in-laws objections, going far as to threaten to get a divorce and take the real grandchild of the family with her, namely my father, if the little homeless boy was not accepted and treated as a family member as well.

At the time, She had no idea she made the biggest and most profitable investment in our country: this little boy who almost died in the streets, Belguassem Filladi, grew up and established the largest Corporation in the whole country!

He became the richest man in Algeria!

Still, no matter how much money he offered to my grandmother as a reward and expressed gratitude, she refused to take his money. I thought she was being kind and selfless until one fateful day she summoned us all to her room, and by all I mean me, 23 years old at the time, Belguassem Filladi, his prideful wife and daughter, and of course his almighty son, Eliyas Filladi.

She looked at us all with a pitiful expression then made a long reprimanding speech which made our hearts bleed of guilt, after finishing that, she suddenly announced:

_"Eliyas shall marry Noursine!"

And yes, this Noursine who just landed her hands on a treasure is.. Me.

I was dumbfounded, So was everyone in the room except for my grandmother, I looked At Eliyas who was standing tall and indifferent behind his father and I thought to myself: what kind lady? my grandmother is definitely a snake!

Belguassem who was overwhelmed with emotions and shed a bucketful of tears finally said with determination:

_"I will definitely take my deceased brother's precious daughter as my own beloved daughter.. Noursine is going to marry into our family!"

And this was how I ended up marrying Eliyas Filladi, the most wanted bachelor in the country.

I didn't love him, nor did he.

At the time, I was emotionally blackmailed by my sneaky grandmother to accept this marriage, she promised to never forgive me and die with heartbreak if I refused. Adding to this was the fact there wasn't anything bad about Eliyas to begin with, I was easily persuaded.

As for the materialist cold Eliyas, he of course was immune to emotional persuasion, only one matter made him sign his name beside mine with a frown on the marriage certificate: he was threatened to be disowned by his father, therefore marrying me meant keeping his fortune.

Having a forced marriage was the stupidest decision of my life.

Not only my existence was compared to the meaningless walls in their villa, my prideful mother in-law didn't miss a chance in which she forgot to remind me of my inferior origins, I was exempted from most of their social events.

Eliyas on the other hand found my embarrassing poor class manners humiliating to his status, he often scolded me coldly.. never was affected by my sadness, and treated me so cold I hated him to the extremes.

Then one day, when I lost my baby because of him, I decided to no longer tolerate anything, so after one year of marriage, I left him..

This happened 3 years ago.

I thought when I'll leave the filladis I will manage to lead a life free of their memories and their influence, I was wrong though, because I'm always reminded of this stupid family!
