Cruel World
Chapter 1: Prologue
Sarah
''Be nice to him and don't spill your guts and made a fool of yourself in front of him. Theo is very important for our business so you should impress him so that he can marry you''
Mrs. Blake brushed Sarah's long hair and gives her a long list of instruction of what to do or not.
But Sarah was nervous as hell and she knew when she is nervous she does all of that stuff which her mother prominently told her not to do.
She has no idea why Theo Grey, the most beautiful man with an intimidating personality, wanted to marry her. She was sure he never even properly saw her in the recent get together's he used to have with her father regarding business issues her family is going through and one day out of the blue he asks her hand from her parent which shock the hell out of her.
Sarah put a chocolate on her mouth to relax her inner turmoil but all she got her mother strain look on why she is eating such stuff which will make her fat but she doesn't care at the moment.
''Mom I don't get it, it's still so confusing. I'm more amazed by how even Daddy agrees to this without asking me. He always put my consent first so what happens now. He was ignoring me, mom, whenever I try to talk to him he just excuses himself and gone from that place. What happen mom" Sarah asked in a suspicious tone
Mr.'s Blake eyes looked worried for a second but the cold mask was again replaced and she shrugs
''You are just making all this stuff in your mind, of course, your father knows what's best for you and for us and he is distant to everyone nowadays can't you see how our business is going through a tough phase. By the grace of God, he sends us an angel in the face of Theo Grey, who is willing to save our business and also marrying you''
Sarah chewed her nails, she has a feeling there is more to the story that her mother is hiding.
Mr.'s Blake hit her hands ''Sarah Blake stay focus and act like a proper lady don't put our family name in shame, again'' her mother said the last word very slowly.
Sarah gives her a puzzled look and shrugs, her mother is never happy with her and it gets worse when her older brother Simon died, apparently, she was with him when Simon crashed the car and unfortunately he died on the spot and she survived.
Sarah stands and picks her phone ''I have no idea why you keep saying this and you will never tell me so right now I'm super nervous to get into this argument with you but can I ask one thing why I'm getting married to someone I hardly know. I don't want to be a part of some sort of marriage of convenience where we don't even love each other''
Mr.'s Blake glared at her ''Stop your nonsense right now; you should consider yourself lucky that a man like Theo shows his interest in you. And for getting to know each other part you guys are meeting today isn't it, to know each other. Your father and I also involved in arranged marriage and look it's much stronger than any other marriage in our society. Come put some lipstick on your lips it looks so dry like your personality'' Her mother jabbed her again
Sarah pouts in anger but Mrs. Blake one strain look made her face straight.
