Forced Marriage To The Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 4

AUTHOR'S POV

Standing in front of the huge mirror, Sara stared at herself blankly. She was wearing a princess white wedding dress that was trailing behind her. Its sparkling upper part hugged her body perfectly and flowed at the end. When she moved, it felt like tiny stars were moving behind her.-

Slowly, her eyes met hers in the reflection and she noticed the emotion in them.

Helplessness - It was pure helplessness and hate.

Hate for herself, her family and the man she was going to marry today.

A week ago, when Grandfather Magnus announced that she would have to marry that man, she protested her best internally, as she was unable to say anything to him.

Her father looked defeated, as she stared in his eyes with hope. A hope that he would save her from such a cruel decision, but as usual, he didn't say anything.

He didn't protect her like any father was supposed to do.

He didn't raise his voice for her as any father was supposed to do.

But, Sara was not angry at him, because she was the same.

If she was not standing against Grandfather Magnus's decision herself, then how could she expect anyone else to do it for her?

She recalled the look on everyone’s faces. It was mockery and taunt. They were mocking her for what was about to become of her life. They were secretly taunting her for her mistake that would push her out of the line of succession.

Sara sighed out and dragged her palms against the dress with her heart feeling heavier, than it had ever felt before.

She didn't know how that man, named Silas, even agreed to this shitty marriage. As for his name, she found it out when she met him five days ago, following Grandfather Magnus's order.

~FIVE DAYS AGO

She walked inside the cafe, that was vacant, indicating that her Grandfather Magnus, must have booked all of it to keep this meeting a secret.

As Sara raised her head, her eyes met with the same man, who became the reason of her misery. He was sipping on the cup of coffee, like there was nothing more important than this in his life.

According to the background check, he really had nothing to do in his life. He was an orphan raised in an orphanage with no reputation, no status and no job. Thankfully, he had basic education. But his features didn't match with his reality at all. If he was dirt poor, what was he even doing in that VIP Club. This was the question that was bugging Sara's mind from forever.

Gritting her teeth, she walked to him and placed her bag on the table, making a clear thud sound. At the sudden noise, he raised his eyes and gave her a once over look, that irked her out.

“ I have been waiting for half an hour now. ” Complaining in a normal tone, he placed the mug down leisurely.

“ It's not like you have anything important to do anyway. ” Shrugging her shoulders, Sara sat down in front of him and the waitress rushed to them to get her order.

Irritated, Sara waved her hand in a dismiss gesture and the waitress disappeared behind the counter again.

“ Why did you agree to this marriage, Silas?! ” Sara came to the point, getting uncomfortable with his piercing gaze. His eyes screamed power, which he didn't have at all. He was a nobody, yet he carried himself like he was a king.

“ Who would refuse to marry such a beauty? ” He threw her a bitter smile and Sara bit her tongue to not start cursing at him.
