Peer pressure .
That's how I felt as we got ready to take photos of ourselves for the vogue magazine .
I was dressed in a silk sparkly red strap maxi dress . Seth also matched with me as we stood next to the photographer explaining us what to do .
" You'll do great " Olivia says . I had invited her to come over since Maryann gave her a day off .
I took a deep breath and shook my
Head " I can't do it " I whisper to her and she puts her hands on my bare shoulders " Yes you can — I know you can " . Me and Seth positioned ourselves in front of the camera . It was quite awkward because I didn't know what to do .
" Hold onto each other !" The photographer calls out and I cleared my throat as Seth put his hands on my waist his touch hot making my heart pound .
I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders and starred into his memorizing eyes . Today his eyes were a mix of grey and green .
" Good ! Awesome " he calls out again .
Music starts playing a slow upbeat song and I stood there not knowing what to do .
" Just dance around together !" Olivia shouts and I sighed .
Well here goes nothing .

I starred at the pictures of us . On one picture he was twirling me around my hair flaring out .
On one picture he had lifted me in the air smiling up at me , it's really did look like we were in love .
" Perfect !" The photographer smiled widely at the pictures . After the PhotoShoot I took off the dress seeing the red line down my shoulders from the strap .
" You did well " Seth says making me jump as I wipe makeup off my face .

" So did you " I say getting more makeup wipes as he stands there watching me . I turn in my seat glancing at him and he clears his throat fixing his tie , to come to know it I never seen him in a casual outfit .
" My mom is throwing us an engagement dinner this Saturday at 6pm " he tells me and I lean back in my chair closing my eyes and taking a deep breath .
" Sorry if this is to much for you " he puts his hands in his pockets .
I shrugged " It is what it is right ?" I twisted my mouth to the side as I stand picking up my bag.
" Look if you don't want to do this I can always find different girls for this role " Seth says crossing his arms and I sighed rolling my eyes .
" It's fine " he looks at me for a moment .
" Tomorrow We have dinner with my parents at six " Seth tells me as we leave the studio and head towards his car .
" Can't wait "

I opened the door and jumped in surprise as I spotted Olivia lip locking with . . Andrew .
My mouth gape open as they stood there like deer caught in headlights .
It was silent for a moment as we starred at each other .
Andrew cleared his throat picking up his shirt that was tossed on the floor .
" In just gonna . . Gonna leave " he coughs and rushed out the door .
I crossed my arms raising my brow at Olivia as she gave me a cheeky smile covering her bare chest .
" You have some explaining to do " I say and Olivia sighs .
" I know - I know " she turns away from me clasping her bra picking up her shirt .

" I thought you were done with him for good ?" I tell her pouring a glass of
Water .
" I was ! - but Maryann sent him here to get some packages from me and we . . Sort of had a moment " she averts her eyes and I shake my head .
" You have to stop this with him , he'll hurt you again " I say and she nods .
" But it's so hard " she whines.
" Well you have to deal with it " I sit on the couch beside her .
" Uhhh your not gonna want to sit on this couch " Olivia laughs nervously .
" Why ?" I slowly stood up raising my brow at her .
" We had sex on this couch ten minutes ago " she smiles sheepishly.
I shivered in disgust " Really ?! You could've took this in the bedroom —"
" I know but we were to intense to care" she bites her nails laughing nervously .
" Your going dispose this couch and get us a new one " I demand going to my room .

Leah a approached me as I type some information on my computer . I raised my brow as she stood there her arms crossed as she frowned .
" How come you never told me that you were Seth Madden's mystery girl " she plops down on my office chair .
" Sorry but I've been busy with this whole thing going on " I tell her stacking papers on my desk .
" And that your engaged ! " she shrieks her eyes wide .
I sighed rubbing my temples as Leah stand above me fumming .
" Leah I'm sorry for not telling you about all this stuff " I tell her honestly .
I don't know why she's upset were not exactly friends - I don't even have her number saved on my phone .
Leah rolls her eyes as she pulls out her phone typing a message " I'll see you later " she says leaving the my office .

There is no way that this was happening. Were they joking? Or was I having another nightmare? This made no sense.Tears welled up in my eyes at mom's statement. My eyes snapped to Adrian and he already was staring at me with intense eyes. I looked away from him and at my mom. I saw her slam the contract on the table. "Now sign this sweetheart." Her words dripped like rotten and tasteless honey. I spun my head towards the table and again gazed at an opened page of the contract. I read the page slowly as my eyes shifted between the words, not believing it. It was a contract, a small one that had no other information than it stated that I had to marry Adrian. It was signed by Mr and Mrs Hayes, Adrian and both of my parents. My eyes darted back to my mom and shook my head in disapproval. No way was I agreeing to this disaster. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• -WARNINGS-• This book contains strong scenes of abuse. • Please take caution as some scenes may be too harsh for the audience to read.• All rights are owned by @PurplezBubble.Cover by @the_vampgal
