Victoria

I havent heard from my mother in days. Ive been avoiding her calls. My father hasnt even tried contacting me. I have no idea whats going on.

Kate has gone off the deep end. From what I heard she looks like she hasn't slept in days and has been practicing non stop.

Im not saying shes acting childish. Which I think she is. I know we hate each other but she acts as if I would be a horrible person to marry. Im not that bad. Am I?

Well now I just pissed myself off great.

Im not a horrible person. At least I don't think so...

I have to talk to her. We have to figure this out one way or another. I planned to marry someone id be in love with.

Kate

Come on just hype yourself up. I jump up and down shaking myself as I stop outside her door. Why am I so nervous? Maybe because your being forced by your father to get married at such a young age to someone you absolutely loathe? I may be wrong though.

"You look like your on crack. What are you doing outside of my home like a creep anyways?" Chloe says opening the door with grocery bags in her hand.

"I was just..." God I need to leave now. Fuck. Never mind. Shes already seen me. Im completely frozen and the papers drop out of my hand.

She looks down at them and back at me. Both of us silent. Chloe breaks it "Whats up with you two?"

She picks up a paper reading it. "Holy shit."

I shut her up with my finger. "Shh just don't say anything okay? I want no one out of this room knowing about none of this. Ill explain it to you right now. But Vic you have to sign it okay?"

"Fuck no im not signing that shit. I was just about to talk to you on getting out of it and you come here telling me to marry you?" She raises her hands up in disbelief.

"Listen I don't want to fight you on this. Believe me I don't want it as much as you do but you know how my father is. He wont stop until he gets what he wants. I believe your father is the same isn't he?"

Both men with high authority. Believing nothing can stop them. I despise people like them. Which is why im trying to surpass him.

I can only do this if I marry her. Once the media finds out everyone will be talking about it. And I mean everyone.

I motion my hand towards her bedroom and surprisingly she walks without protest. "Your father and mine came to an agreement. I heard his business has been going to shit but he has a huge fortune dear daddy of mine is trying to get. Marriage was the only way. At least from what I understand."

She nods her head slowly yet I can tell its not passing through her. "I want to take the fortune before my dad can. Thats what im trying to say-"

"Yeah no. Who do you think you are butting your head into my family business." She says crossing her arms.

"Fine you can have all of it. I just need to appear that I have it. Deal?" I stick my hand out. "Nope. I need rules." I roll my eyes at her request.

"Ill make a list of them until then no signature."

"Just make a list now for gods sake you can add them as we go."

"Question. What do I get in result?" She says raising her eyebrow like a goddamn nerd. "Anything you want. Just sign the damn paper already."

I take my words back now that I think about it. "You do anything I want?" She sticks her hand out as I do the same shaking it. "Deal." We both say simultaneously.

She raises the pen towards the blank space and my heart speeds up. Im basically signing my life away.

"Wait!" I grab her wrist and her eyes widen. "What?"

"S-sorry just go on." I bite my nail getting up as I hear her write on the paper. Then the next. Then the next one after that. I think I might faint.

"Done." She says handing me the sheets. "Cool." I say awkwardly as we both stand there. "Get out now." She shoos me away.

"Bitch." I whisper.

"What was that?"

"Nothing." I murmur now afraid. "Thats what I thought." I want to strangle her with my bare hands.

"Now be a good girl and leave." I take my words back on doing anything she wants. Because I know she'll take advantage of me anytime she gets.

"Actually can you get me sushi from that place in the corner. Thanks." She slams the door on my face and I kick the beanbag on the floor. "Hey! My favorite chair."

"My bad."

"Are you gonna explain to me what happened?"

"Are you gonna come with me to pick up sushi?" I respond back and she shrugs following me out as I explain to her as best as I can without putting in the most important details of my plan. I want no one to know. How I will ruin my father.
