The Arranged Bride

Nick's POV

I was pissed , super pissed with this stupid engagement party.

I was conversing with some important business men when I saw mom and dad rush towards the gate to receive someone I guess..

I saw Mr. And Mrs. Jones enter and greet my parents.

And then I saw her...

I felt like I was knocked out of breath.

She was in a blush pink dress making her look almost angelic. Her hair was done in a messy yet gorgeous updo. Her eyes , lips , everything seemed just perfect. She looked so fucking beautiful.

"Beautiful , isn't she ?" , Caleb raised his eyebrow suggestively.

I tore away my gaze and rolled my eyes at him.

" I have seen way better."

"Oh then why were you checking her out for so long ? "

"Bull shit. I wasn't checking her out .", I tried playing off.

" Sure you weren't" , he smirked .

Caleb has been my best friend since we were in our diapers . Our moms are best friends so it's only justified.

He had inherited Parker enterprises from his Dad and is the CEO. He is one of the few people who knows me inside out. I had told him about this forced marriage and he told me to wait before judging Sophia but I knew better.

I saw Mom pull Sophia to introduce her to some guests. She still didn't notice me. She smiled at everyone and after a while excused herself to a brunette in a red dress and a man ?

Who is he ? Friend maybe ..
