Chapter 12 Not happening

Present

"Bri, Brille," I looked around someone just called me

I was lost in past memories of my high school

My head drew back quickly as I saw my uncle Mark, smiling at me

"Uncle," I quickly threw myself in his arms

He is like my second father, he is my maternal uncle, brother of my mom

and father of Ivaan, Ruhi and Nancy

"How is my doll," he cupped my face smiling looking down at me

"I'm good," I sit on the couch looking down at the floor

Noting is time, that zuriel is forcing me to marry him and I don't like him a bit, we just can't even stand in the same room, how am I supposed to marry him when we hate each other so much

"No, something is wrong to tell me now," he asked me as his eyes tightened

I knew it I just can't be able to hide this anymore from him, he can see in my eyes and tell what is running in my mind

I put my head downward, there is no way, I can hide it more

"A...actually uncle, you Know Zuriel Richardson," I said while looking at the floor

"I know everything, already," he said looking into my eyes

"What, you know everything," my eyes widened slightly

He nodded "yes, and I wanted to tell you something," he said and I tilted my head backward

"You have to marry Zuriel Richardson, Bri," he said

***********

I looked at a set of pillow covers that are spread around the couch, probably Aancy would put them here, I can smell fresh laundry from them, oh they just get cleaned and washed

I quickly took them and started folding them

"I need to text Zach about important documents he needs to email me," I murmured while my mind seems like not being focused on anything

After my last conversation with my uncle, I just don't know what is happening around me, I was, my mind everything seems like in a mess

Why does uncle want me to marry Zuriel, why he knows very well that I'm not happy then why!!

I tried my best to make him understand, but all he said to me was that it's very important for me to marry Ziriel, just don't know what and why he was talking like this but I'm sure something he is hiding from me

I just don't want to marry Zuriel, he is very cruel, ungrateful, and I can't bear him

I lay on my bed but was startled when my phone buzzed

I received it's an unknown number

"Who's this," I spoke

"Too bad, you didn't remember and have your soon-to-be - husband's number isn't it," he said and I rolled my eyes

Like I ever care, he can go to hell

"What do you want," I retorted and gripped the phone harder

I'm sure soon a murder will happen from my hands, he really drives my nuts

"Okay, enough rubbish now Listen, we're going to get married tomorrow," he said

I felt all the sounds around me getting silent even my blood felt like it freezes in my veins, "are you drunk, what rubbish you're talking,"

"I don't have time to waste on you, just behave properly at a wedding, I don't I'm at my dad to even have an ounce of doubt on us," he said and hang up the phone

What the fuck just happened is this is true but I didn't even say yes to him then how

I quickly called my uncle

"Uncle Mark," I speak as soon as he picked up my call

"Bri, I was about to call you, tomorrow is your wedding with Zuriel," he said, and my body stiffness

and eyebrows drowned together

"U...Uncle you know," I whispered

"Yes, now listen you know everything right," he said and I closed my eyes

Flashback

"Why I have to marry him, I won't marry him and final," I literally screamed at Uncle Mark

"Bri, you have to understand, it's for your profit," he said and my head snapped at him

"What does it mean," I asked

"You know, forty percent of the shares of your company is owned by me and I know its real condition, it's soon going to be bankrupt,"  he said and I felt like I was paralyzed, my hands started shaking, I clutched them

"w..what are you trying to say, uncle," I asked, only I know how desperately I'm trying not to scream or break everything around the room

What does he mean by that, did I hear right, no no I must have mistaken hearing him

"I don't understand," I said and gripped the pillow cover so hard

"Actually, Bri when you was in San Francisco for your studies, something happened, sales of your company was very low, and slowly many big shareholders backed up, everything was so messed up, " he said sighing

"I...I don't understand, Ivaan never told me this," I murmured

How can I don't know this, my company was at a great loss, if I shifted from the couch, not feeling comfortable

Ivaan was the one who managed financial and marketing department of my company

"Ivaan will never tell you because he never wanted to burden you, even I also never wanted to tell you this but Bri, now I don't have any other option either, you just have to know the truth that's why I was pauhing you to get married to Zuriel, you know very well if you don't marry him then it can happen that company can get more major loss

I quickly hang up the phone and put my hand on my head what is going to happen now

I'm not ready to be married not with Zuriel but anyone

My head started feeling dizzy, I just wanted to sleep only sleep can help my mind to calm

I quickly took the blanket from my bed and lay on the floor, hiccuping

Whenever I was tensed, I started getting hiccups not every time but only  rarely but yes it happened to me

I always like to sleep on the floor rather than in bed, it just gives me strange satisfaction

I closed my eyes, I turned around but damm, why I'm not able to sleep

"Oh probably your happiness that tomorrow you're  going to get married to the prince of your dreams," my inner self mocked me

"Ughh, shut up," I tightly closed my eyes

I just can't seem to focus on anything around me, what if I'm talking a very wrong decision by marrying him, what if my life will get spoiled

But then, whatever will be the consequences, I just want to sleep but sleep is not coming to me

What is wrong with me, I think I should go to somewhere else

Yes, I know what I will have to do, now when the priest will ask me to say "I do," I will deny it or most probably I will run away on my marriage day, yes

I quickly sit up and put my hand over my mouth why I didn't think this earlier

Yes, the most reliable thing will be I will run away tomorrow on my marriage day.
