Running away from my own marriage

Brielle POV

I looked myself at the mirror while walking with wide steps

Smirking at myself, even I also can't believe it is happening

I finally find a solution to escape from this so-called wedding

I'm going to run away soon just in half an hour

"Bri, see your wedding dress arrived," Roohi said while two girls looked like they belong to a particular sales store, bringing a packet

Then Roohi opened it and pulled out a beautiful white "Lorelei" lace-and-organza strapless gown with a corded bodice and flange wave skirt.

Oh God! this is indeed so beautiful and amazing, I drummed my feet against the floor

If I was not being forced into this marriage and if it not Zuriel then I can gladly get married just for this beautiful wedding dress

I quickly took my phone and clicked it pictures, even I also didn't know that

"Silly why are you clicking its pics, you're going to wear it just in sometime after all it's your wedding dress," Nancy nudged me while ruffling my hair

Only if they know that this marriage is ever gonna happen

Not at all, I'm gonna run away from this fucking marriage

I smiled and put my phone aside

Suddenly, Nancy's Phone rang

She quickly received it

"Oh yes, I'm coming did he did the fitting of my dress as I told him," she said while her eyebrows furrowed together

"Good, thank you so much, " she said and cut the call

"Who was that," I asked her

"My designer, I've bought a very beautiful prom dress for your wedding, but you know I have a medium height, so that's why it was long for me but the designer told me that they will manage it and will make it of fitting of my size

"oh, that's the matter," I smiled shaking my head

Unlike me, she is crazy over new clothes, shopping buying new accessories fashion, make up blah blah

My didn't Zuriel marry her instead of me, she is perfect for him

A perfect trophy wife

"Makeup artist will be here soon," Roohi said entering in my room with a bag, and then I raised my brows when she pulled out beautifully crafted studied diamond earrings

"Zuriel's mom sends this for you, she told me that it's their family tradition that the daughter-in-law of their family wears jewelry sent by them," she smiled handing me that jewelry box

My heart sank when I thought about them

I know Zuriel is a complete jerk with me and I hate him so much, I can't can't tolerate him but his parents

They're very kind-hearted and always treated me like a family

I've never felt like an outsider when I was with them, even that day when I have a business meeting with Mr.Jared Richardson, Zuriel's Dad, before meeting him is as so scared and nervous as hell

But then, after meeting him, how sweetly he appreciates my work and also he's childhood best friend of my dad

Tears welled up in my eyes, I looked around Nancy and Roohi was chatting with each other, probably discussing about their makeup and style at my wedding

I quickly comes towards another room and sat on the floor, now tears are freely falling from my eyes

Why, why I'm so sad, I might be feeling so happy because finally, I'm gonna run away from this unwanted marriage, I don't have to bear seeing Ziriel's face every day but why my heart is denying me to do this

How badly he treated me, he literally dragged me and forced me into this meaningless marriage

Then why the hell, I'm feeling like someone is continuously stabbing my back with a knife

Why I can't seem to do this, I need to think of myself too but why I really don't want this

I hiccuped and looked out from the window, the wind is blowing while tress are swinging with the cool wind, birds are flying freely making noises

Ughh, I have these birds, especially their sound

But to be really honest, I'm jealous

I'm jealous of their carefreeness, how easy and beautiful their life, they can do whatever they want without any bound, without any restrictions

And here I'm, so unfortunate and so unlucky, I can't just do what I like all I do is whatever I was told to

My parents wish that they wanted me to see as a successful businesswoman, I never wanted to be in business, I love reading books, especially history books

My favorite is Indian history, among it

I always used to spend my entire day night in the library of my college, to study History, and Specifically, Indian history

I love reading about the medieval history of India and its rulers, their love interests, how they fought for their love

There is the Taj Mahal in Agra of India, it is also one of the seven wonders of the world

It's made my Mughal King Shah Jahan, for his love Mumtaaz

Taj Mahal is also known as a "symbol of pure love"

I saw the pics of the taj mahal on Pinterest, I was literally lost of words, my mind didn't work it was just struck with the beauty of that white marble made, Taj mahal

That made me believe in love, yes I never thought of falling in love with someone but seeing the Taj Mahal, somewhere deep in my heart, there is a ray of hope

Hope to find true love at any point in this meaningless life

I leaned my head back on the wall, breathing deeply and slowly

I have to do this, I'm not gonna think more now

I know if I ever thought again anything I will break down here, there is no way I can stay and marry him

Never!

I peeked at my room, it was empty

"Yes, it's delivered already," I heard Roohi's voice she was in the hallway of the mansion

I went around towards the balcony

and saw Roohi holding a bag of designer clothes, while Nancy was looking at a set of necklaces placed above the beautiful prom gown, probably wondering about what to wear with the dress

"Is Everything is ready, and all that gifts we brought for Richardson family everything is arranged," my grandfather asked Mr. Brooke

"Everything is arranged, sir," Mr. Brooke said and grandpa nodded

I sighed and put my hand over my chest, shaking my head

"This is going to be very tough for me now, my family is so excited for marriage and here I'm, " I ran towards my room and locked the door

I quickly opened the wardrobe and started pulling out pair of clothes, I didn't take many clothes, but some in my duffle bag, I also put some documents I need," after packing

I dragged myself towards the exit of my room, but I stopped immediately after, I saw my wedding down placed on the bed, my lips trembled as I felt my chest getting heavy

I quickly made my way towards the backyard of a mansion, shaking my head

I closed my eyes trying to think of all the happy places I went

"I won't let this happen," I flinched when I heard Ivaan's voice, he was shouting at someone

"Did I ask you damm advice," my uncle snapped at him reading some documents

Before I can hear further, I trembled when I heard the sound of a flower vase fall on the floor

Uncle and Ivaan's heads snapped in my direction and I quickly ran towards the other side of the hallway

I keep my hand over my chest, trying to catch my breath

I remain standing there for some time, then when I heard the sounds of footsteps getting faded, I sighed in relief and shook my head

Thank God, no one saw me

There is another exit door in the backyard of the mansion

I nodded my head and keep my head held high, I will do this

This is the first time, I'm listening to my heart, no one can stop me now
