I sat on a hammock between two palm trees at our beach house

“Wow, feels good being alone sometimes” I mumbled to myself through the air, I removed the fabric that was draping over my waist I wanna go for a dip the oceans screaming my name!!

As I pulled my body up shore,I noticed my phone lit up,huh?? Who would call me??

“Hello?elyse babe? Are you there?”the other lines voice hit me it was Drew my ex boyfriend,

I didn’t say anything just hung up and blocked the number

I took a shower at the beach house, my phone rang and I picked it up

“Hey girlie! How’s it going” the phone was on speaker and Sophia’s voice was now echoing inside the bathroom

“Hah! Drew called me earlier and he called me his babe!?” I angrily shot back

“Where does he even get the guts to call you after he cheated?” She was giggling through the phone

Knock!Knock! “Signora elyse you’re parents are now looking for you” and just like that I said bye to Sophie and went down stares

“Sit down elyse” my scary a*s father ordered me and I’m already shivering, “ Get ready tommorow we’re going back to Italy the flight is at 9 am” he said as my mother served him tea

“ I’ll be ready by 8:30” I kept my composure

“ Wear you’re best dress and don’t forget to look pretty Elyse” my mother comb my wet hair with her fingers, I just nodded yes and went back to my room to start packing my things.

💋

Before going down,I still have a spare 15 minute to check myself out, the silk white dress that’s hugging my body looks close enough to a wedding dress ohh well I just hope I’m comfortable during this flight.

💋

The moment we hopped on to the plane I was already feeling uneasy, i was sitting next to my father and the whole plane ride was awkward as f**k

Touch down Ciao Italy!

I grew up here in Italy,And I swear to god this is not the right way to the Barone villa!!

“Uhh pardon my intrusion but I believe that this is not the way to the Barone villa? Are you perhaps trying to kidnap me?” I applied sarcasm to my question in order not to freak out the cheuffer.

“Madame I was asked to drive you to the Cattaneo de Elvia” wtf!? I knew it! I finally get it now father! Your very scheming!

As soon as the car stopped the villa, my parents Immediately got out of their car and shaked hands with an elderly man, my father was looking at my car so I hopped out of it, before walking up to then i quietly fixed my dress and added a smile to my face

“ This is my daughter” my father said loudly as he was gesturing for me to come closer

“My name is Elyseiana Ruiz Barone” with a loving smile I held out my right hand for a shake but I got a hug instead,

“Congratulations” the man said in a low voice,

Congra-huh!?? Dude for what?? This thought kept lingering through my mind as we walked inside their villa

The moment we entered the mansion I was like wow!,everything was drenched in gold and jade, My eyes focused on a certain person wearing a black tuxedo, I’m not gonna lie he’s hot

“ This is my grandson” the old men gestured for the men in black to come closer which he did, I was also wondering why there’s so much people here a family reunion maybe? No impossible must be a business proposal since were here

“ Greetings to everyone who are here my name is Xion Gabrielle Cattaneo” well damn good name, after that the old man went to the middle along with my father which sparked a bone in me,they both shaked hands and he gestured for me to get close which I quickly followed,

“ Allow me as well to introduce my daughter” my father said as he opened his arms at me, I immediately put my brightest smile and spoke

“Such a pleasure to meet you folks, Elyseana Ruiz Barone” well I’d hate to admit that introduction was a bit slang but good enough.I was surprised when xion came to my side by the order of his grandfather of course

“Now let us raise our glasses to the engagement between the Barone and Cattaneo clan” everyone was clapping except for us, WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K??? What engagement???

“I beg you’re pardon” I whispered to my father which he simply answered with

“I will explain later” at that moment I stormed out of the banquet hall only to be followed by my parents

“Elyseana you better not turn your back at me,don’t you dare forget how much you owe me!” At that moment I snapped

“ Wtf do you mean engagement huh? I know I owe more than my life but this!? You’re doing way too fu****g much!” I shouted without remorse

“You have no escape,you’re wedding is at the end of the week” he striked a glare at me

“Dad, seriously I don’t even know him!?”by the time I finished my sentence my tears were already streaming

“You will get to know him! Now you better get back inside,you won’t like the consequences Elyseana” he said as he walked off with my mother

I couldn’t help but crouch down and cry,the first thing I did was call Sophia but she was knowhere to be reached,probably clubbing, and I ended up in the bathroom to freshen up before going back inside the banquet

💋

I was offered with champagne by the butler,I was about to shake him off when I saw the devils approaching,soo that’s I ended up with one I don’t even drink champagne

“Elyse,could you come here for a moment” ofc I’d have to follow, Xion was with them

The head of the cattaneo’s gave me a quick peck on my cheeks then turned to Xion

“My dear would you look at you’re dear fiancé\~” I had shivers when I heard that cause damn I was single just now then now I have a fiancé!? Xion glanced at me and I couldn’t do anything but look somewhere else

“Right...I’ll ask my butlers to take you’re luggage to the mansion” he said with no expression at all,to which I replied with a simple nod

💋

We were all sitting at the table with our parents discussing the plans for our wedding I just ate quietly without saying a word..

“Soo...for the bridesmaids let-‘ my mother said

“ I want Sophia to be my maid of honor” I interrupted, if I’m getting married Sophia has to be part of it .

“Alright then, tommorow Xion will go with you for you’re dress fitting, isn’t that right Xion?” His mother exclaimed Exitedly,and he just answered with a nod

I woke up to the sound of my alarm,I picked up my phone and checked the time WTF!? 12:36

pm???maybe I’m hallucinating nooo I’m not!

I rushed to get ready in the bathroom I was overwhelmed and I was indeed panicking,

(Last night)

“uhmm, could we put the dress fitting appointment at around 10 in the morning? I have to go somewhere important” I said without facing Xion

“Alright” he replied, woww is alright everything he has in his vocabulary!?

💋

As soon as I finished mya hair I wore something that’s easier to take off since I have to wear countless dresses at a time.

I went down the stairs and saw Xion,that tuxedo suits him-what the heck are you thinking elyse!?

“Are you ready?” He asked without looking up

“yes,shall we?” He nodded in response and that was the first time we had eye contact

The whole car ride was awkward asf, just sitting in the passenger seat makes me board so I ended up falling asleep.When I woke up we were already at the boutique,the moment we walked in several sales staff already assisted us with the cheque

“May I please take you’re measurements madame” the sales associate asked me,which I answered with a slight nod,I ended up trying 8 dresses already and boyy was I tired.I had to raise my standards I just I want a plain off shoulders white dress with no embroidery,a long trail and a bit poofy and I think I found the one.Before going out I took one look at myself in the mirror and snapped a pick to send to Sophie later.

“Maam,the master is waiting for you” the associate said,I smiled at her through the mirror and walked out. I stood in front off Xion,but I was staring at my reflection at the mirror behind him

“ I’m gonna wear this one” I swear to god if he says alright I’m gonna explode!

“Alright,if that’s what you want” lord give me strength and patience!!

After I signed the contract for my dress,I was scrolling through my phone waiting for Xion to finish fitting his tuxedo,well I didn’t actually get to see it, I was waiting inside the car by now when Sophie called

“ omg,bbgirl are you being for real with you’re message?” She exclaimed

“ well sort off,I’ll call you later Alright? I’m on my way to my psychiatrist right now” I just finished my sentence when xion knocked on the window

“Elyse,the driver will take you home,I have a meeting on the other side of town” he said in a low voice

“Okay then” I replied

“ Take her home” she ordered my driver

💋

“Uhmm,sir could take me to Abonne psychiatric hospital?” I asked him without taking my eyes of my phone

“ofc madame” he replied with a slight smile

Over the past few years my mental health has been worst than ever,I always see my doctor once in a while

(His POV)

“Sir? The madame asked me to take her to a hospital” the cheuffer said

“ It’s fine just take her home safely”

“all right sir” he replied, wtf is she doing at a hospital

“btw,why are you at a hospital is she hurt?what hospital are you in?” I asked

“ uhmm,Abonne psychiatric hospital and clinic” he replied, huh!? A psychiatric clinic??
