Change in Fate

I blinked infrequently, looking around at the beautifully decorated church, graced with light saffron and white roses

It's so beautiful, why not, after all, it's god's home

But my smile fell and I clasped my hands over my chest when I realized that soon I'm going to marry the devil himself

I'm going to marry Zuriel soon

Biting my lips, I looked around to find something to focus on, I can't even believe that I am being married to Zuriel, my biggest nightmare comes true today

Four hours before

Flashback

"Running away from your own wedding," I gulped down but didn't turn back, I opened my mouth to speak but nothing comes out from my mouth.

But, the truth can never get hidden, it's like a ray of the sun, we can never keep the truth in dark, this thing that I ran away from my wedding will be bounded to be revealed sooner or later then Why not today

Let it happen now, it's simple I don't want to marry him then I won't, no one force me to marry him against my will

I turn around touching my fingertips together

"Uncle I can't marry Zuriel Richardson, not at this life and never will," I said looking straight in his eyes

He sighed looking at the floor and approached me

"I know you're not ready for this marriage, I can understand you, Bri but also need to understand, it's good for you to marry him," he said and I bounc backward, frowning at him

"Why him, Uncle," I cried out throwing my hands in the air

He sighed and shook his head

"Listen it's your life, I'm no one to interfere, but you're my sister's daughter, my third daughter, I will. always wish your best," he said stepping backward

"Then why you want me to marry him, you know very well how much I hate  that Zuriel Richardson," I said while throwing my duffle bag away and holding my hands loosely behind the back

"We are going to be bankrupt soon," he sighed sitting on the couch looking at the floor while his arms hang on the sides loosely

I clamped my hand over my mouth, it felt like someone had just thrown a cold bucket of water over my head, I blinked several times what he is saying, did I heard right, or I misheard him

I blocked several times, gulping I quickly took the water bottle sat beside the night stand and quickly drank the whole in one sip

"I...I don't understand, what does it mean," I tried to speak but I stumbled backward

He closed his eyes and looked at me, his chin tremors, "yes it's true,"

"But you never told me about this bankruptcy thing, you only told me about the company in a major loss," I tried to speak but it seems like I lost my ability to speak

"I'm sorry Bri, I really don't want to burden you, but I don't have an option either, it's the truth you it's up to you now, " he sighed heavily

"Is this means, we can host mansion, that mansion which is the last memory of my parents I have and with that, we can Lose the company to, for which my dad worked so hard," I fell on my knees

I looked around, trying to figure out something maybe I can ask loan from a bank, but no, they can't give me a loan as my company was on the verge of bankruptcy, then I can ask someone for help but then, how can do that

I've never and will never ask for help from someone especially a financial one

Never!

But then what I  will do now, how can I solve this problem, bank loan no, ask help keeping aside your pride and self-respect never, then what

I put my hands over my face, my shoulders hunched

I just want this earth to swallow me, let this fucking life end, what is the use of this life now, I'm a loser since childhood, very poor in studies, then I also earth poor in business, which my dad wanted me to run, but today I failed him, today I failed my dad

But still, not everything is over yet, I can marry Zuriel, to have my company, my mansion which is the last memory of my parents, it has memories I spend with my parents

I looked at my Uncle

"B..But will Zuriel help us, I mean he hates me, then why," I asked while tilting my head to the side and pursing my lips

"Make him fall in love with you, " Uncle said to me looking in my eyes

Tucking my upper lip, I shook my head "it will never going to happen, he never wanted me either he hates me and only is trying because of his father's insistence, we can't even breathe in a single room, not happening," I said while my mouth

slackened

"But by am trying him, it will strengthen our position in the business world, the shareholders which backed up from the company can come back if you will marry Zuriel, as you will be his wife, and trust me, Brielle, only the name of Richardson is enough to convert all losses  into profit,"

"H..How k don't understand," I stammered swallowing

What if I will lose my dad's company and our mansion in real, I will break me more

"You will have the name, Richardson after your marriage with Zuriel, and as I told you just the name of Richardson is enough to convert all the losses in profit.

Flashback over

I swallowed and gripped the arm of My brother Ivaan

Ivaan is the one who will be walking me down to aisle, as he is my brother, my grandpa and uncle also can do it, but seeing my bond with Ivaan, they have decided had, he will walk me down to aisle

"I hate to letting you marry him," Ivaan said while his jaw is clenched

I looked down at the floor, one thing which I love about my brother is that he understands me more than I do to myself

"What you both are doing, come on everyone is waiting for the bride to be entered," my aunt said to us

I dragged myself while tightly holding the arm of Ivaan, It's bound to happen, I tried my best but it's too late now

It's too late to back up for this marriage, I just I can't lose my mansion with the company for which my dad worked so hard for

I quickly closed my eyes and took a deep breath and shook my head to block all the unwanted thoughts

Finally, we entered in church, I shivered when I saw, not much but there are some people around, Mr.Jared Richardson, Zuriel's dad  smiled at me and passed me thumbs up

And I just don't know but my chest felt so light, and I felt all the coldness fading away from my body, as I've seen sunshine after spending a very long time in the winter

Insmiekd at Mr.Jared Richardson, he is one of the most precious and kind-hearted people I ever met, besides him a beautiful lady was standing of course Zuriel's mother

She was smiling so widely looking at me, she nodded at me and mouthed me something

I tilted my back not understanding what she was trying to tell me.
