Chapter 119 - Stella 1 (2/2)

But someone informed my dad about it. I never imagined that he will get agitated since I was an ȧduŀt now. When I retuned home, I was welcomed with a hard slap. It was the first time my dad hit me.

After that day our relationship deteriorated bit by bit. We have practically become strangers.

My loner days started from my college. All my friends went outside for the colleges. Only I stayed here since my dad didn't wanted me to live far away from home. I became a reserved person unlike my high school days.

As soon my college was over I decided to get a job. But dad didn't let me do it. Of course why would he do that when he earn so much money. I had no right to object. My days became quite miserable. I spent my time watching and reading stuffs. There was no purpose of my life.

As I become twenty two, my dad started to fine suitable marriage partner for me. He kept on bringing guys. I was not ready for marriage.

People don't always get married for love or have a happy ending. My parents are the great example of it.

Marriage was something I hated most. I don't want to end up like my mother. I wanted to live my life all by myself without relying on someone else.

Is that too much to ask for ?

I rejected the proposal and sometimes my brother would make fake rumours about them to make my dad reject those proposals.

But for how long? I was tired of all this.

Then suddenly I thought of an idea. Just like me, there must be other people who have the same problem. Most of the rich families pressured their kids to get into a political marriage which will benefit them. But what if we do a fake marriage?

The idea was not crazy at all. Many people chose to live separate lives despite of being in a marriage. I just need to make sure that we live our own live without bothering each other.

The next guy who came to be my marriage partner was the son of my dad's friend, Theo Lester.

We went to talk in private even though I was feeling nervous and anxious about the plan. Both of us were quite.

” I'm Theo Lester, which you probably know by now.” He said smiling at me, breaking off the silence between us. He's quite well known in the city. I felt bit embarrassed for not being aware of it. Although he didn't got mad at me. He just laughed.

He was twenty seven years old, two years older than me. Taller than me, with a manly structure. My first impression of him was not that high. He seemed to be a quite guy who really minds his own business.

He told me about his situation which is also similar to mine. So, both of us agreed to do the fake marriage. I was happy that I succeeded on my first try.

Although I had no idea that this very man is going to change my life.
