Get Me Married

Chapter 9: Pre_wedding drama

he asked and I rolled my eyes at him. He only used the name “Bluey” with me when he wanted to trick me into doing something for him but this time, I wasn’t so sure why he had called me that. He walked further into the room and T_squad immediately sensed we needed a father_daughter time and left the room. When they left, dad sat really close to me and cleared his throat. “What is it?” he asked worriedly and I sighed again, it seemed that was the only thing I could do. “Do you think I will make a good wife?” I asked instead, not knowing where I could start the conversation from. “You have been an amazing daughter to us for as long as I could remember. Being a wife won’t make you different, I am sure you will be a perfect wife” he said comfortingly. “But what is the problem?” he added, sensing that my problem was deeper than just being worried about being a perfect wife. “Everything is happening so fast, I am just scared” I confessed and it was his turn to sigh. “You know…each time I think about the situation that led to this marriage of yours I feel completely useless and guilty……” “Dad….” I interrupted, my heart breaking at his word “I feel guilty, I wasn’t a good enough father. Maybe if I had worked harder and made more money, then your life wouldn’t have turned out this way. It hurts so much but I can’t do a thing about it” he said and a tear slipped away from my eyes, his words made my heart heavy with sadness. “It’s not true..” I tried saying but I knew he was suffering and he acted like he wasn’t and no amount of words could change what he thought of himself. “Dad..don’t ever feel that way. You did all you could and that alone made you the best husband and father any one would ask of” I tried comforting him in the least way I could think of. “Let’s call this fate, there was no way you could have changed it” I added and wrapped my hands around him, hugging him as tightly as I could. He reciprocated and kissed my head. “We can stop all this Bluey…just say the word and I will look for a different way to pay the debt, I can stop…..” “Noo…..” I interrupted and pulled away from the hug We were living a better life because of the wedding and our new relationship with the chase. Mom and dad had never been happier and Ava, my little Ava was going to live as a normal kid without having to suffer as I did. She didn’t have to remain in the street or be exposed to things she shouldn’t. She could laugh and have friend’s who wouldn’t look down on her because she was poor, she could have lunch, dinner and breakfast respectively. I wasn’t going to let her suffer as I did and there was no way I could take away this life of luxury from my family. I loved them too much to do that. At that point I decided, if sacrificing my dreams, my goals, my freedom, my happiness was the only way to keep my family happy and away from poverty, then I was going to do it and more. “Are you sure?” he asked and looked into my eyes so I wouldn’t lie. “Yes… I am” I said boldly and smiled at him “I love you a lot you know….” I said and he grinned at me. “Actually I don’t know..” he teased “Dad…..” I called outrageouslyand I pouted. He chuckled and pulled me into another hug. “I love you too Bluey….” He said and placed a kiss on my head. “The car is here…they have been outside for an hour now” he said and I pulled away. “What car?” I asked and he grinned at me. “Mrs Chase had so much to do. So she sent two cars with escorts that will take us to the hotel” he explained and an ‘oohh’ escaped my lips. That was my queue to get ready. I got up and took note of my bag that had been packed up already. I quickly had my bath and ate my breakfast, there was no way I was going to leave without eating, I knew that leaving the house that day was going to change everything for me. I knew that I was not going to return to that house as a single girl anymore and I had to eat my mom’s food because I didn’t know when I was going to have a taste of it again. It wasn’t like I was going to die, neither was it like I was traveling far away.  I was just emotional and such thought didn’t leave me. After eating, I came out of the house, there were four cars and I saw men on Black suit bowing down to me. It felt weird and completely off, seeing them that way reminded me of how powerful the family I was getting married to was. My sister already hopped into the first car, followed by my mom and dad. One of the guards opened the door of the second car and bowed while I hopped in followed by Tiana and Tiffany who didn’t stop shrieking out of excitement. During the ride, I felt I was going to have a panic attack. The news about Jordan’s wedding was everywhere and I was still nervous. I made up my mind to actually go through with the marriage but that didn’t stop me from being scared. Being a chase was like a burden on my shoulders. The attention, the media, I knew my life was not going to remain the same after the wedding. And though Jordan had assured he wasn’t going to force me into doing anything, I was still nervous about our wedding night. I wasn’t so sure he could keep to his words. Hours later, we were in one of the prestigious and luxurious hotels in the state. It was a two hours drive to the hotel and I was slowly feeling a cramp on my butt before we arrived. I watched as Ava jumped out from the other car and shrieked and that alone gave me enough joy to push through with the marriage. I alighted from my car and get pretty weird with all the security guards around. They escorted us in, my parents and sister has a different room, Tiana and Tiffany
