Chapter 2

I was so furious that i raised my voice without knowing that it would bring me so much trouble.

" That's it! You're grounded and prohibited from going out of your room! " My father angrily yelled at me

" Fine!! It's much better than seeing your faces anyways! " I shouted while going towards the room trying to avoid my tears from falling

( Duke Simon/Sylvia's father POV)

" I'm so sorry my dear sylvia..but i have to do this for the sake of our family..." I uttered while i saw Sylvia going inside her room

" Don't worry dad! I'll talk to her and convince her that you and mom really love each other, i'm sure she will understand! " Rica said while hugging me

" She's right honey, i'm sure Sylvia would want her father to be happy right? " Vera stated while looking at me

"....You're right..." I said trying to cheer myself up still worried about Sylvia

(Back to Sylvia's POV)

" How can he do this?!! I hate him! " I asked myself while crying

Suddenly I heard a knock on my door..

" Can i come in? " Rica asked

I didn't want to talk to anyone right now especially to them, so i just didn't say anything. Suddenly i heard the door open ..

" Why are you here?! " I angrily asked

" My dear sister, why can't you just accept the fact that my mom will be marrying the duke next week and we'll be a family soon? " She grinned while speaking to me

" I will never accept that! And don't call me sister because you are not and never will be my sister! " I shouted at her

" Hahaha you're really funny sister, just accept the truth because even if you refuse it nothing will change the fact that we will be a family soon " Rica said while smirking at me

" Do you think i don't know your motives? I know that you both are just gold diggers and social climbers! " I exclaimed furiously

" Hmmm... you're so mean! But then you're not entirely wrong about that.. " She whispered to me while smiling

I was shocked at what she said, i made up my mind that i will do anything to avoid them from joining the family.

" You- " before i can finish the word she suddenly spoke

" Here's one thing i can say for you, you better watch out cause i will be the next heiress to the Duchy " She announced while looking at me weirdly and going outside

" I knew they weren't just regular commoners! Whatever their plan is, i will do anything to stop them! " I said making up my mind

" I have to tell father about this! " I said hurriedly while going out of the room

(~ The Duke's office)

" Your Grace, I have conveyed to the Imperial Palace about the arranged marriage..The Crown Prince wishes to have a meeting with her highness in a few days. " Count Fivion explained

" Very good, thank you.. Convey to the Crown Prince that my daughter will meet with him soon " I replied to him
