Chapter 1 Katrinas POV My grip on my flower tightened as I stared straight ahead . Today was meant to be the happiest day of my life , yet still , I remained the unhappiest in the room , a stiff smile on my face . Smile properly , you make it seem as if youre being Forced . Marcos , my father cautioned me and I shifted my gaze to him . But I was getting forced . I didnt dare say this in front of him though , I could walk down the aisle with a bruise on my face and no one would bother . After all , this was the mafia and anything could happen . His arm was linked through mine as we waited for the procession to start . Please , Lord , I need a miracle to help me escape this wedding . The door was pushed open and we started our walk down the aisle , Chris , my supposed fiance , stood right next to the priest with a sickening smile on his face . Marcos was the son of a business partner , he had been charged with millions of sex offenses , but he managed to escape the law each time Why ? Because of his father . I felt disgusted by the thought of spending the rest of my life with him , but I did my best to control it . Marcos handed me over to Chris , and I immediately pushed his sweaty hands off my waist Wed get rid of this attitude after were married , Chris whispered to me and my face blanched . I swallowed thickly , my heart beating wildly in my chest . This was the exact definition of going from the frying pan to the fire I needed to do something to stop this wedding , but what ? It was already too late to try anything and if I dared to turn around to run , my back would be riddled with bullets . Forcing a smile on my face , I zoned out of the priest talking not wanting to be here . Do you Chris , take Katrina to be your lawfully wedded wife , to have and to protect from this day forward , for better , for worse , for richer , for poorer , in sickness and in health , to love and to cherish , till death do you part , according to Gods holy law . I do Chriss reply was immediate , a jolt to reality and a reminder that this was happening .. Do you Katrina , take Chris to be your lawfully wedded husband , to have and to obey from this day forward , for better , for worse , for richer , for poores , in sickness and in health , to love and to cherish , till death do you part , according to Gods holy Lavy A lump formed by my throat as I stared at Chris silently . He had a smirk on his face as he waited for what my answer would bc .. ||| 11:30 Thu , Nov 21 BG- Chapter 1 I fought the tears that threatened to spill , finding it hard to speak Katrina The priest asked after a few seconds of my silence . A tear slipped down my eyes as I stared at him . He knew I was being forced to do this , every one of them did . But they all watched for their sick amusement , staring at me in fake pity . Katrina … Father called from where he sat , I could hear the threat in his voice . T LI found it hard to say those words . I couldnt live my whole life this way . At that moment , the door pushed open and everyone turned to look at who had interrupted the wedding . A man with shoulder length salt and pepper hair walks slowly into the church , his presence immediately drawing attention . His hair , a striking mix of black and grey , was packed into a low ponytail , his grey eyes staring coldly ahead He held two guns in his hands , the metallic glint of the weapon adding to the tension in the room . Each step he takes echoes softly in the quiet church , heightening the sense of uncase I felt. Before any words could be said , he raised his hands opening fire in the church . His arrival was soon followed by the presence of many more and bodies dropped to the floor immediately . Father and his men immediately brought their guns out , letting out fire . Seeing the bodies littered on the floor and the unending bullets , Chris immediately pushed me away from him , running off to save his life . To protect huh ? I asked sarcastically , watching him run out of sight . Using the commotion to my advantage . I pulled off the heels I was wearing and sought a way to escape . My dress ripped as I started to run but that didnt bother me . A bullet whizzed past and I turned around to see who had shot . The man who walked in earlier stared at me coldly , the gun in his hands pointed at me . I picked up my pace as I ran out of the church , another bullet whizzing past . 1 heard footsteps behind me as I ran into the parking lot . What do I do ? What do I do ? I looked around me , confused about what to do next and where to hide I wouldnt do anything stupid if I were you , A deep voice said and I whirled around immediately . It was the man that walked into the church earlier . I watched in fear as he reloaded his gun while walking , keeping his eye on me the entire time . Turning around to run , I gasped when I tripped over my gown , falling to my knees . 11:30 Thu. Nov 21 BG Chapter 1 I tried not to cry as something pierced into my palm , my eyes watering . I told you not to do anything stupid , Inching back as he walked closer to me , my back came in contact with a car tire and I knew then that I was fucked. Who who are you ? I stuttered staring up at him . I felt stupid for even asking that , but I was terrified . He stopped in front of me , pointing his gun at me . Is this how I die ? Good night Princess , he said coldly , cocking the gun . I closed my eyes , bracing myself for death . When a few seconds passed and it didnt come come , I opened my eyes to look at him . Something connects with the side of my head , and my vision blurred . The last thing I remembered was his dark eyes on me and then nothing 34
