Fall For Me

When he held my chin I felt my heart stop for a moment and I heard his voice uttering “Welcome to your new home”, Anger and disgust filled me as I pulled my chin away from his hand.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“You can’t do this to me,” I said angrily

“But for a matter of fact, I can and I will” Carson smirked and said with confidence

“What makes you think you can get away with this?” My dad flared up, Feeling helpless. He has never been put in such a position.

“Oh you don’t know that half of it, You will only be putting your family in danger if you leave now” Carson warned, “What in the world is he talking about, I asked this in my mind so as not to get an unwanted reaction from him.

“I will make sure you all suffer” Carson assured us in a low tone, This is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed, I’m certain he is not in his right senses.

“Carmen I know you work in my good pal, Jeff’s law firm, you want to be fired?” Carson asked Carmen and she scoffed.

“Gwen, yes?” Carson turned to ask Gwen, This time talking to her for the first time since we arrived

“Yeah” Gwen pushed her hair to the back of her ears and replied with a calm voice

“I know you’re a social media influencer, you don’t want to get canceled now, do you?” Gwen shook her head answering no to the question.

“I know where you live, imagine you find it burnt to the ground one day, hmm?” My eyes grew wide in shock, He was threatening to burn our house down, Just for a silly marriage proposal. He walked over to his previous seat and sat down on his chair, My Father tried to plead again.

“What can I do to stop this madness” This was the first time I ever saw my dad helpless and begging, I hated to see him this way and it was all my fault, I hated the fact that he was taking advantage of us, And I put us in this situation it is my fault.

“I’ve said all that I want, Give me my bride,” Carson said while looking at me, I was already scared of how serious this was getting, I only bumped into this strange man and now my life took a whole turn because of one incident.

“Take her to her room, wait let her say her goodbyes” I saw my family’s faces, filmed with disbelief and sadness, At this point I started tearing up, I knew it was unavoidable, I saw my dad walking towards me with a drooping, He felt defeated, He couldn’t look me in my eyes. He walked closer to me and hugged me so tight.

“I am so sorry,” He said with a sad voice, The tears in my eyes started drooping, I didn’t want to believe this was my fate. What about my life? My family? Andrew? oh my days, Andrew was the person I wanted to be with. I don’t even know this man. One after the other they came to hug me

“You’re going to be fine, We will find a way” My mom reassured me with tears in her eyes, Carmen and Gwen walked up to me to hug me at the same time.

“This is not the end, be safe,” Carmen said before pulling away from me.

“Walk them out and make sure they get home safely,” Carson told Benson, When I saw their backs turned to face me, I was met with the hard realization that this was real, This is my fate, This is my life now, I collapsed on the floor and cried, I begged and pleaded with him to let me go

“Please I can’t stay without my family, I can’t live like this” I pleaded, “if you truly love me you will let me go” I tried to play smart, I needed to find a way to leave here, I can not possibly be a prisoner forever.

“Tsk tsk tsk, that’s not how it works bunny,” Carson said while still sitting on the chair, He moved his leg, Signaling the bodyguard to take me to my room, Without any further protest he lifted me gently while I cried and struggled for him to let me go. “Wait, bring her phone to me, I don’t want any funny business” My phone was handed to him and he smiled, “This is just evil. What did I do to deserve such treatment? “Please don’t do this, please” I pleaded one last time.

“But I already am” Carson winked at me and smiled deviously

I was taken upstairs, The Hallway was big, and I couldn’t see the end of the hallway from the entrance, I had already tired myself out from the crying and the screaming, I was taken to a room with a red door When the bodyguard twisted the knob I met with the cold breeze of the Air conditioner, The room was as big as a house, The ceiling was too high and the chandelier hung beautifully at the center, The bed alone can occupy ten people, Then a sudden wave of sadness heat me, I won’t be able to see my sisters again, I will be here in this big room, Talking to myself, He dropped me down on the bed and exited the room, I laid there still and unable to comprehend what just happened to me.

I got up to see whether I would be able to see my family members through the window, But I couldn’t see anything at all, I guess they must have already left. A part of me didn’t want to believe this was happening to me. I went over to the bed and continued crying as I thought about my harsh reality, I heard footsteps from outside the room and I saw the knob of the door twisting, with my stomach twisting with it. The door opened and I instantly felt light and a trail of sweat went down my neck.
