~candice P.O.V~
Finally !!we took the christmas breake!!so no school for 15days!! I got out of bed and showered. Then i ate pancake my favorite food. I went to the living room and the lights were turned off. weird. I thought mom and dad were up . I turned the lights on and "surprise"people shouted and jumped out of their hiding place. Then it hit me .ITS MY BIRTHDAY!! I scaned the room to see who came. I saw lily alessandra mirenda adriana behati elsa matha sara stella and taylor. There was a cake at the middle of the room. Its was 3 layers long with me wearing the white angel wings .
"Happy birthday honey"my mom said approaching me with a gift her hand.
I thanked her and took the gift. All the others wished me a happy birthday and gave my gifts.
After 2 hrs many  people had left. Only lily sara taylor and elsa hadnt left. I didnt open the presents cz mom wanted me to open them alone or with my best friends.
"Okay candice time to open the presents"mom said as she entered the room
"C'mon"taylor said pushing me gently towards the pile of gifts .
"Leave my gift till the end"mom said
I took the first gift and opened it . It was a shinny earing from alessandra. I opened the rest of the gifts . Some of them were necklaces some were earings and some were bracelets.
The last one was my mothers gift. It was flat. I took it from the edge and noticed that it bent. I looked at my mother and she nodded mentioning for me to open it. I slowly began  unwrapping the gift. The gift was a card. I opened the card . It said:
Happy birthday honey!! Im so happy that youre 20. Now you can make good decisions in your life. Now you know what your father and i made and  will make is for your benifit. Now you know how to accept stuff.
Ive waited so long to tell you this and now i think that youre ready to accept this fact .
Honey you will ne getting married to a handsome well-raised guy. His name is zach late. You will marry him next month . You have no choice but to marry him. I hope that you will love him and that  you will accept that positively. You will marry this guy cz we made a deal with his family before you were born. His age is 23 so he is 3years older than you . You will start dating him tommorrow . He will visit us tonight and you two will get along wether you like it or not. And i want grandchildren after 1 month of your marriage.
                                                                                                            with love your mom
I read the card 2 times to understand it. I stood up and looked at my smiling mother. How could she be smiling after what she did? I throwed the card om the ground.
"Whats wrong?"lily asked
"Ask her whats wrong"i said rudly and looked at my mother
"What did she do?she wrote you  a card wishing you a happy birthday  and how much she loves you and this is how you repay her?"taylor said
"You dont know what she wrote . You dont know what she planned . You dont know thaty ill be getting married"i yelled
"Married?"they all said shocked while looking at my mother
"Is this true?"lily asked with an angry tone in her voice
My mom nodded still smiling
"How  could you?you planned this marriage before i was even born. What if you had 3 sons ?what made you so sure that youll have a girl?"i yelled at my mom 
"We made this deal when i knew that i will be having a girl.the deal was made when i was 8 months holding you."my mom said calmly
"So you expect  me to marry a total stanger because of a stupid deal you made with his family? Well guess  what im not going to marry this  zach guy and no one will make me "i yelled . My mothers smile faded as i said those words .
"Listen candice this  deal was made 20 years ago so its too late to end it . And you will do as i say ."mom said
"Im 20. I think i know what to do with my life now . Im not under your control anymore . Im an adult now. And what if this guy doesnt like me?what will you do then?"i said
"Everyone likes candice swanepoel . And he already agreed  on the deal . Your reacting negativly and i think that your friends think the same."mom said and looked at my friends .
They looked at each other and nodded . They walked towards me and stood Behind me.
"I think youre wrong mrs swanelpoel" said elsa
"Yeah you cant force candice to marry a stranger"lily said
"So your taking her side? How cant you see that waht i did was for her benefit? Zach is a handsome well-raised guy that will be perfect for her. Hes also a model . A very well known model." Mom said
"Its not about his job. Its about who i want to marry. Who knows? Maybe im not planning on getting married anytime soon. And if i want to marry it will be who i love and want. Maybe he is poor. Who cares? If i love him ill marry him . End of discussion."i said and ran to my room
~lily P.O.V~
I cant believe that candice mom will make her marry a stranger Someone who she doesnt love Someone who she doesnt care about just because of a deal. I would die if my mother did that. Candice mom is such a bitch. Like who will force their kids to marry someone they dont even know?? Candice is so brave for not crying.
"....i think your friends think the same"her mother said and looked at us
She cant be serious!! Did she just say that we will take her side? Shes crazy!!
We looked at each other and nodded . We went and stood behind candice
"Yeah you cant force candice to marry a stranger "i said agreeying with what elsa said.
When candice went to her room ,i guess,i turned to the angels.
"Go check on candice ill be up soon" i said and they nodded their heads and went upstairs.
When they left i looked at her mother with hatred in my eyes
"What?"she snapped
"How could you? You ruined her 20th birthday. She was talking for weeks about how she wanted she stay up all night at club partying because shell finally be an adult like the rest of us. Shell finally be free. Yesterday we were talking about our dream boy. She wanted a blonde guy with blue eyes . She wanted a guy with a nice personality. She wanted a guy well-raised and his family will be her 2nd family. I have a feeling that this zach guy wont be her dream guy. And all the angels and me will be by candice side forever. And ill be here when candice meet him and maybe sara taylor and elsa too. I hope your happy that you ruined not just her birthday but her life"i said as calmly as possible before going upstaires leaving a shocked mother behind me.
~candice P.O.V~
I went to my room and plopped on my bed. I hugged my favorite teddy bear and cryed. After sometime there was a knock on the door. I knew it was the angels
"Come in" i said
The door openned and their stood the angels with sympathetic eyes
"Im sorry" elsa said
"Your mom is a very very very very very horrible person"taylor said
"Shes a bitch. Taylor your so polite. How did you even become a vs angel?" sara said and i chuckled
I really love these girls . They can make me feel happy when im sad and they arent even trying.
"I dont want to meet him alone ." I said
"You wont. We will all stay here with you. Dont worry youll be just fine. If you hated him we will help you out of this mess.im sure youll hate him so we will start planning soon. And besides you love rayan"lily said entering the room and sitting on my bed
"Ewww . Who will love rayan?"i said and made a face
"Who will love me huh?"i jumped when a voice said that.
Rayan! But how did he get here?the door bell didnt ring .i turned around and there he was at the window. I walked towards the window and openned it.
"What do you want?"i snapped
"Wow! Someone is in a mood"he said chuckling and entering my room. I rolled me eyes at him.
"Of course shell be in a mood when shes forced to get married" taylor said as a matter of fact
I started hitting my head with a doll. Taylor really doesnt know how to shut up!
"What?married?"he said looking at me with sad eyes
Sad eyes ? No my mind playing tricks on me
~rayans P.O.V~
I never thought that candice swanepoel will be forced to get married. I never thought that she has so many problems and im one of them. I couldnt believe my ears when taylor said that she is forced to get married.
"What? Married? "I said and looked at her with sad eyes but i quickly looked away. I hope she didnt notice but by the look on her face i know she did.
"Yes rayan im getting married to a guy named zach i think. And ill meet him tonight"candice said and i could tell that she isnt happy about it.
"Can i meet him too?"i asked
"I dont  know. My mom doesnt even know your here"she said
"Candice she is forcing you to get married to a stranger. Think about what you want. Do you want rayan to meet zach?"lily asked
"I dont know"she said
"If you dont have to agree. Just remember that ill always be here for you" i said and sat down next to her
She put her head on my shoulder which surprised me and took me a moment to put my hand over her shoulder .
"Thank you rayan. And i want you to meet zach. I might need a shoulder to cry on"i said and he chuckled
