So the wedding is in a week and i'm so not ready to get married, i haven't talked to my parents in three days. I just locked myself in my room, they haven't even came up to check on me, and they call themselves parents. Today Jennifer called telling me she will pick me up so we could go wedding shopping.

She wanted to have a mother in law and daughter in law time. I got up and got dressed Once i was done getting dressed, i grabbed my straightener and straightened my hair after that i did my makeup, i was finally done getting ready, i grabbed my stuff then went downstairs to see my mom and dad in the living room, i ignored and walked right out of the house.

I saw a car pull up and noticed Jennifer had came, the driver opened the door for her, she came out and ran towards me pulling me into a hug then kissed my cheek. "You look beautiful, come on let's go wedding shopping!" She said excitedly.

We both got into the car. "Can't wait." I faked my excitement, i sighed as we drove away from my house. "Where are we going?" I asked looking at Jennifer.

She smiled. "Well we are going to this wedding shop that i went to when i got married." She said, and i nodded with a smile. "It's going to be fun and you will look beautiful in the wedding dresses." She stated.

I smiled at her. "Thank you." I said and she shot me a wink.

I felt the car pulling over. "We are here!" She said, the driver opened the door and we got out, Jennifer wrapped her hand around my arm leading me inside. "Come on." We walked into the shop that looked beautiful because of the lights.

Once we walked in, i saw the workers dressed neatly and they all looked professional. "Welcome to my wedding dress." One of the workers said smiling politely once her eyes went on Jennifer her mouth dropped. "Jennifer your back! Oh my welcome again!" She said happily.

Jennifer smiled back. "Yes, this time i'm here with my future daughter in law Layla! she is going to me Toni's wife." She said, the girl looked at me and smiled.

"Congrats my name is lisa." She said sticking her hand out, i shyly took her hand shaking it. "Nice to meet you!" I smiled. "You look beautiful!"

"You too." I said shyly.

Jennifer laughed. "She is very shy." The workers looked at me in awe, I bit my lips shyly. "We need a beautiful wedding dress for her to make Toni's jaw drop!" She said.

The workers stopped looking at me and looked at Jennifer. "I know just the right dress!" All of them said as five workers ran around the room looking at the dresses making me laugh.

"This is going to be a long day." Jennifer said laughing, making me chuckle.

~~~~~~~~~

"Toni baby! I'm here!" I heard a squeaky annoying voice say, i sigh and turned around to see her entering my office.

I walked towards my desktop table, looking up at her. "What do you want Lore?" I asked, she is so fake! Her fake skin, fake hair, fake body, i mean is there anything else that's real?

She pout and swayed her hips coming towards me trying to seduce me which was not working. "Baby! What happened to the old you! I just left for 6 weeks and you have changed! I mean you haven't slept with me in like 6 weeks or any other girl what's wrong?" Her annoying self asked.

I rubbed my forehead. "That is none of your concern Lore." I said pissed.

I felt her come towards me. "I know you want me." I heard her whisper in my ear, i sighed. "Come on touch me! Touch me down there! I know how badly you want to be inside of me." She whispered seductively, putting her hand on my chest.

I rolled my eyes. "Leave my office before i call security." I said removing her hand off my chest.

She looked at me with wide eyes. "Don't be like that! I promise we can have it rough." She said making me want to punch her fake face.

"Don't make me repeat myself." I said clenching my jaw, she stayed put, does this girl not get it! She doesn't have a brain does she? "LEAVE!" I shouted making her flinch back, she looked at me with teary eyes then ran out.

I sighed and sat down on my chair, i looked at my computer going over some documents. I heard a knock on the door making me groan, i put my head in my hand. "Come in." I said, the person opened the door and came in.

I sighed and looked up to see my dad with a big smile. "Time to find you a suit for the wedding." He said making me groan, i forgot the weddings in a few days. "Come on! Son it's your wedding you are getting married to a beautiful woman! Don't tell your mom she would kill me." He said making me chuckle.

I got up and grabbed my suit jacket. "Let's go." I said as i walked past him. We both walked out of the company and into the car. "Where are we going?" I asked as the driver started driving.

"To the best suit shop." My dad said sending me a wink making me roll my eyes, after a few minutes the car stopped i noticed a big shop. "This was where i bought my suit when i married your mom." He said as we both got out of the car.

As we walked in everyone gasped and then ran towards us smiling politely. "Hello Mr.Mahfud how can we help you?" They asked my dad with a big smile.

My dad winked at them. "We need to find a suit for this groom, we need to make his fiance's mouth drop." He told them making them smirk at each other.

"I know just the right suit." They all said then ran to different directions.

My dad clapped his hands. "Well this is going to be a very long day." He said grabbing a water bottle and drank it.

I sighed i'am not ready for this wedding!

~~~~~~~~~~~

After trying on fifty dresses, i finally found one, it was a sweetheart neckline and at the bottom it was really puffy, it looked so beautiful and i felt really happy. But when i remembered i'm not getting married to someone i love and that we both are forced into this, it just made my happiness fade away. "Is this the one?" Jennifer asked.

I looked at her and nodded. "Yeah, this is." I said, turning around and admiring the dress one more time in the mirror.

I looked at her again and see her smiling with some tears in her eyes. I chuckled and pulled her into a hug. "You look beautiful!" She sniffed, as she hugged me back.

We both pulled away. "Don't cry." I said, with a smile.

She laughed and wiped her tears. "If only you and Toni really wanted this and wanted to actually get married, i would have been so happy." She said truthfully.

I bit my lip and pulled her into a hug again. "It's time to take this off." I said, pulling away walking towards the dressing room.

I got out of the dress and changed back to my clothes, i walked out of the dressing room to see Toni and Jordan, what is he doing here? I lowered my head and walked towards them. "Hello Layla." I heard Jordan, i looked up at him.

"Hi." I said shyly.

I heard Toni clearing his throat, once i looked at him, he nodded at me. "Hi." He said.

I nodded at him as a hello, Jennifer clapped her hands. "Well i guess it's time to go home! Sherena can we please have our bag so we could leave." She told Sherena who nodded and handed me the bag, She flashed me a smile then went back to her work.

We walked out of the shop. "Me and Jordan will go home, Toni please make sure Layla gets home safe." Jennifer said making me look at her in shock.

Is she kidding me? Why does he have to be the one taking me home, i would rather walk then ride with him, the driver opened the door for the both of us, Toni got in first, i looked at Jordan and Jennifer one last time and waved at them. I got into the car making sure to keep my distance from Toni.

The driver started driving and all i did was look at the window while Toni was on his phone, i hope i get home as soon as possible. Because this is so awkward.

I finally noticed we were in a familiar street, which lead towards my house, once the car came to a stop, the driver opened the door for me and i got out not even looking at Toni, but i noticed he came out of the car also, i looked at him confused then walked towards my front door, i knocked on the door waiting for my parents to open it but nothing.

i noticed a letter in front of the door, i sighed and bent down opening the letter, it said:

Layla Please stay with the Mahfud family for Tonight we will be back tomorrow.

xx Your parents xx

I sighed that means i have to be stuck with him for a day, i turned and looked at him to see him looking at me confused, i walked up to him and handed him the letter, he took it and read it, after he was done he nodded. "Come on let's go." He said getting into the car.

I silently got into the car, the driver reversed out of my house, after he was done he drove off to the mahfud mansion.

Me and Larry dashed out of the house after she sent us a message telling us to meet her, that bitch won't stop! These threats won't get to her will it? We made it to the diner, i looked at Larry. "Baby do you think the secret will come out?" I asked.

He sighed and shook his head. "No! I won't let that happen, This money means everything to me." He said, i bit my lip not sure because what if the truth does come out? What will we do then? We will lose everything! Starting from the money.

We entered the diner, to see her sitting there, looking miserable. "Hello Lori." I said sitting down, looking at her miserable face.

She looked at me with tears, Larry came and sat down next to me, i smirked at her. "Pleas-" She cut herself off, because of the crack in her voice.

"What do you want? Were the threats not good enough?" Larry asked her.

She looked at him with a teary eyes. "I-i just want to see my daughter." She said with a cracked voice.

I laughed. "Never she isn't your responsibility anymore she is ours!" I shouted.

She looked at us in disgust. "You only want her for money! That's not fair!" She yelled slamming her hands on the table. "How would you feel if someone took away your daughter and used her for money?!" She asked.

I smirked at her. "Raise your voice won't get your daughter back." Larry said smirking.

"Please let me see her please!" She begged with a tear slipping. "I'm begging you! For the love of god let me see my daughter." she said with tears running down her face, she slowly sunk on her knees, crying her eyes out.

I stood up and went towards her, grabbing her chin forcing her to look up at me. "She will never ever find out that you are her mom! She will never even think you exist! She will think i'm her mother! I will never let her find out." I said, then pushed her harshly grabbing Larry's hand and walking out of the diner.

He grabbed my waist and turned me over smashing his lips on mine. "You are hot when you are angry." He said picking me up making me wrap my legs around his waist.

I smirked. "Take me to the car! but the backseat." I whispered in his ear.

He smirked and took us to the car, he opened the car door as we both got in and shut the door, i undressed myself and so did he.

We were at the Mahfud household, everyone was in the living room, we walked in and saw everyone staring at us. "Layla will be staying tonight because her parents aren't home." Toni said.

Kat stood up and pulled me into a hug. "I missed you!" She said.

I laughed and hugged her back. "You too." I said.

Sara looked at me and rolled her eyes, while Anna was sitting there eyes raping Toni. Toni looked at me and grabbed my hand. "It's late we should get to bed." He said, everyone nodded standing up from their seats. "Let's go." He said coldly.

He lead us to his room, wait that means i'm sleeping next to him tonight? Oh god no! Don't they have guest rooms in this big mansion? He opened the bedroom door, he gestured me to come in. Once i entered i looked around then turned to him, he looked at the floor not looking at me. "I'll sleep on the couch." He said, making me look at the couch that looked very uncomfortable.

I shook my head. "No, i will sleep on the couch, you take the bed." I said making my way to the couch, but he grabbed my wrist stopping me.

"Don't." He said looking straight into my eyes making shivers go up my spine. "We will both sleep on the bed." He said making my eyes go wide. "Don't worry i won't touch you, i'm not like that." He said coldly before walking into the bathroom.

I sighed, what am i going to wear? I don't have my nightgowns. After a few minutes i heard the bathroom door open, i stood up and turned to Toni, to see him shirtless with his sweatpants on oh my god. I looked down and played with my hands feeling my cheeks burn. "Do you need something?" He asked coldly.

I bit my lip and looked up at him. "D-do yo-you have any clothes i could wear for tonight?" I asked shyly.

He nodded, and walked into his walk in closet. "Here." I heard him say, he carried one of his shirt and handed it to me. "Change in the bathroom." I nodded and walked into the bathroom.

I stripped out of my clothes, putting on his shirt that fell above my knees. This will be uncomfortable sleeping with a guy i don't love, but i have to get use to it anyways. I opened the bathroom door, to see Toni in bed sleeping, i quietly went to my side of the bed and got in.

I put the blanket around my body, making sure me and Toni have distance. I'm wondering what will happen in a few years? will anything happen to the both of us? Or are we gonna be stuck with each other for the rest of our lives? That stupid contract had to say we aren't allowed to get a divorce.

I felt the bed shuffle a little, i turned around to see Toni's face facing me. I hate to admit he is handsome and cute, but he is cold hearted there has to be a reason why he is cold hearted and why he doesn't believe in love, i want to find what the reasons are. I yawned and closed my eyes slowly drifting to sleep.

I groaned waking up, turning to see what time it is. 3:30 am, i sighed and rolled over to see Layla dead asleep, with a piece of hair on her face, i lifted my hand and slowly moved the piece of hair away from her face.

I can't believe we are forced to marry each other, and on top of that we can't get a divorce. I got up and went downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Once i made it i poured water into my cup drinking it.

I heard a knock on the door, who would come here at this time of night, i walked towards the door and opened it to see a blonde headed woman looking miserable, she looked up at me and smiled with her tired eyes, i gave her a confused look. "Ar-are you Toni?" She asked, i nodded and she smiled. "Nice to meet you i'm Lori." She introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you but what are you doing here at this time of night?" I asked, she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

She pulled out something from her bag. "Can you please give this to Layla, and make sure she reads it, please don't lose it. She needs to find out the truth about this whole situation, she deserves to know the truth." She said holding out the envelope. "Take care of her please, and if she looks for me after this letter, here is my number." She said handing me her number.

I took both of the piece of papers and nodded. "I will give this to her, i promise." I said, i never feel bad for people, but for this woman i feel weird like i want to comfort her.

"Take care of Layla, don't let those to get near her." She said making me look at her confused.

I nodded. "Who?" I asked.

She just looked at me one last time, then turned around and walked away. Who was she talking about? I slowly shut the door. Who is that woman? And how does she know Layla? This is so confusing...
