Chapter 1.
There it was....
Marriage papers!!
She gritted her teeth....
"....how.....???"
The words got stuck halfway.
"You have to get married Amm.... For the sake of your father..... You have to..."
Mrs Cheng said, calmly.
The tears around the corner of Amelia's eyes were threatening to fall any second from then.
The papers were on the table... Waiting for her signature...
".... Please!!! Sign them...."
The voice came in a whisper.
It was james, her elder brother. He was standing by the door, dressed in black suit.
He looked tired... Tired of trying... Tired of struggling to keep the family company going.
"...no"
She growled.
She wasn't going to get married at 21...
Not to that ruthless CEO... Her greatest nightmare...
Raymond Wang.
All she had in her heart for him was hate... Just hate...
"... Amm please... You have to..."
Before her mother could finish talking, she was already by the hall way. With the papers in her hands, clutching them.
*******
"Ma'am you can't go in... You don't have an appointment..."
Amelia kept forcing her way into the company despite the struggles of the receptionist to stop her from entering.
She found the office she was looking for...
... The CEO's office
"Ma'am no!! He's in busy!! Ma'am...."
She flung the doors open and stood gallantly by the doorway.
Raymond raised his head up and stared at the angry girl by the door.
"Um... I tried to stop her but...."
Raymond dismissed the receptionist by the wave of his finger.
"I've been expecting you... Have a..."
She threw the papers to him on his desk.
"... You planned this huh??? This is your plan right!!!"
She screamed.
"Miss Cheng... I think you should...."
"You wretch... You're after my family. What has my family ever done to you??"
The tears were flowing freely now... Tears of hatred... Anger... Pains...
"Amelia..."
"I'm not gonna marry you!! Even if you're the only option left.... I won't. Get your hands off my family and leave us alone!!!!"
She stormed off.
He gave a soft laugh.
" you have no option little chic"
******
"Hey... What are you doing here at this late hour?"
Bella queried.
One of the housemaids had informed her earlier that she had a visitor and it turned out to be Amelia.
"... Can i sleep here tonight?"
Amelia asked, ignoring Bella's question.
"Why? Is something wrong? Are you sick?"
Bella questioned, eyebrows furrowed.
"Did you cook? I'm really hungry!!"
Bella knew something was wrong, but she wasn't going to question her further.
"I'm just about to have dinner... wanna join me?"
"Gladly"
Amelia responded with a grin.
..... Later that night....
The laid on the bed, resting on their backs.
"...i don't wanna get married.. Not to him"
Amelia whispered.
"I've met him in person once, and he wasn't that bad... But the rumours..."
Yes!!
The damn rumours...
Amelia wouldn't love to be married to a man rumoured to be a killer...
It was heard in the rumours that all the ladies he had dated all ended up dying tragically few days after breaking up with him.
"... I'm never gonna marry him.. Never"
Amelia mumbled.
"What if the rumours were lies? Most rumours aren't true you know."
"I'm still not gonna marry him."
Amelia smirked.
"Miss!! Miss!!"
A maid rushed in.
"What's wrong Zila?"
Bella sat up.
"... There are some guys outside... They seem to be searching for Miss Amelia."
"Me? Why?"
Amelia stood up.
"Bring her down now!!"
A masculine voice roared from downstairs.
Danger...
Amelia could sense danger...
"W-who did they say they were?"
Bella stammered.
"... I have no idea..."
The door was opened with force and three hefty men marched into the room.
"W-who are you? How dare you-"
"Miss Cheng please come with us"
One of the men said.
"Who are you guys? Who sent you?"
Amelia questioned, fearfully.
The men showed their ID cards at once.
"...Wang?"
Amelia lost her balance and fell to the floor.
"Yes ma'am, Mr Wang asked us to bring you home."
"H-home?"
"Yes, home. Please ma'am come with us."
"No!! Never!!"
Amelia screamed.
She couldn't imagine herself getting married to that animal... An animal who murders women...
Never!!!
The leader of the three men received a call.
Raymond was on the line.
"I don't care how you do it! Just bring her here!!!"
