Episode 1

“ so who do you see yourself marrying?”He asked “ I’m supposed to make my decision to live with a man and his family for a year just based on two sentences?” I asked in confusion.

“ you’re right that’s very risky. I’ll allow you a phone call with each before you make ur final decision. Take that chance to get to know them better”he said.

“ i would love that. But infact let’s forget about that, I’ll just have to trust my guts. “ i replied. “ alright and so? Who do you pick?” He asked. “ it’s going to be…Sebastian.” I answered. Grandpa seems awaken by my choice. but I had made my final decision.

“ he’s not the easy option…I’m afraid for you.Though his family is the most powerful one.” He said. I understand grandpa’s concerns but I need to make him understand that I’m not a baby anymore.” I’ll be okay. I think I can get to him.” I said.

“ I’m going to miss you, honey don’t forget to call me!.” He said while being emotional. You wouldn’t believe grandpa is a crime boss sometimes.

The next day, I flew to Sebastian’s family. I had just landed when I saw a limo there to pick me up. First a private jet now a limo? They certainly have more money than grandpa.

We arrived at the building and I must say it is very beautiful. A secretive location a few kilometers away from the center town and with high security gates. Wait! Where do I even need to go now? Do I go in or wait out here for someone to come pick me? I wondered.

No I’m going to welcome myself in, otherwise I can wait here until death. These people have no manners. I walked in the building I kept screaming “hello, hello “ but no one answered. I didn’t expect a welcome party. But no one saying hello is rude!

Some how i heard another noise and tried walking towards the direction and i almost got shoot. “ WHAT???? Did you just try to shoot me?” I asked angrily while staring at Sebastian.

“ you shouldn’t enter without permission. “He said.“ you could’ve killed me!” I said. “ please, if i wanted to kill you already, that bullet would’ve crossed your heart. “ he said. I stared at him angrily wondering if this is how I’m welcomed.

“ I see u’ve let yourself in. I got to say , that’s a first.” he said. “ it was you on the speaker!” I asked while staring at him. “ this is my house I know everything that’s happening inside and outside of it .” He said.He flashes a smirk, his confidence radiating in a way that’s almost magnetic.

But I have to play my part, remembering why I’m here in the first place it’s for our clan and to make grandpa proud so no matter what attitude he throws I have to sallow my pride and blend it .

I most say he is really handsome. “I least you’re good looking.” I said to him while waiting for a response. “ likewise. “ he said. “ I never saw you in any balls or functions before, it’s like your grandfather hid you from sight.” He asked. “ you didn’t hear about me, but I heard a lot about you.

They call you monster.” I said. “my pleasure “ he said with a smile.

“ you can leave now. I’ll hand you over our family credit card, you can book yourself whatever hotel you’d like and buy whatever you want. I can also provide you an escort, that’s if you wish to have some company.” He said. “I’m not on holiday here.

I’m here to stay form an alliance. I’m here to get to know you.” I said.

It’s not like i even like him but no matter how angry i feel i have to continue this for my good.” What else is there to know ?” He asked. “I’ll ignore you. The best i can give to you is money and your freedom.”he said.

I couldn’t believe how dumb he sounded. I took the credit card and broke it into pieces. “ there you have nothing to offer but your hospitality. Nice to meet you, looking forward to getting to know you.” I said .

he kept quiet for a while without knowing what to say. I guess I most have amazed him. But i know i don’t have a choice than to deal with his nonsense. I’m not richer than him neither do i have his kind of power he has.

“ Marlot! “ he called out to one of the workers. “ yes sir.” “ can you please show ms.martinez to her quarters? I’m busy. “ he said as he turns to me.

“ we’ll introduce each other properly later, when my family comes back from their trip. I’ll find you.” He said as he turns to leave. i called him back. “ wait, i…you can’t dismiss me like that I’m your guest!” I said.

“ oh , really? You can tell me what I can and can’t do?”. He asked. “My luggage is still outside…” I said. “ marlot, don’t worry about miss martinez luggages. I’ll deliver them myself to night.” He said. “ of course sir.” What? He will deliver them himself? Why? Hmm. I watched as he was about leaving then he turned back to me and said “ oh don’t bother locking yourself in.

It won’t change anything, it will just make things more entertaining for me to break in.” He said as he leaves. I didn’t even have words left in me to say to him. Marlot took me round to make a room choices. I kept admiring the building, i didn’t want to be here . But grandpa words kept sinking into my head. I missed my parents so much but grandpa as always been there for me since there disappearance. I love him a lot and i want to make him proud.
