Riley's p.o.v
As I arrived home I slumped myself against the front door and let out a sigh of stress I can't believe he is making me marry a man I haven't talked to in a very long time and to think it's an arrogant rich one I had met him before yes but last I checked he's changed...
Before I could get lost in my thoughts more my mother called me into the kitchen I quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen door "did he tell you dear" she shot my a smile mine however faded "did you know I'm to be married to Brody Delores" I let out enraged my mother too seemed shocked about this news, she quickly picked up her phone and called my father before my father had any time to speak her voice let out an enraged screech "marriage Luca? When? More so why?" She flung questions at him her angered face seemed to disappear and a reluctant smile appeared on her face "well that's amazing" she said leaving me completely shocked she ended the call "I suppose you'll have to get to know him very quickly" she said smiling "you agree to this" I stated as she turned to wash up the cups in the sink "yes I do I mean it works well for all of us..." before she could finishing I cut in "no it works for father and that's the only reason you agree" I maintained a calm voice trying not to show my anger towards my father to my mother, she turned to face me "what's so wrong with your father trying to look out for you Riley" she said her voice saddening I gave her a fake smile and walked out the kitchen and into my room my eyes welled with tears and I cuddled into my pillow crying myself to sleep.
* 2 hours later *
I woke up to the sound of my father slamming the car door my eyes were red and my hair was a mess before I could even try to make myself slightly presentable my father barged into my room "be dressed and ready for 7" he said leaving my room I'm glad he hadn't noticed how much of a mess I was I walk over to grab my phone off of the bedside cabinet to check the time it was 5 I had two hours to prepare myself mentally and physically.
Once we were all ready to go to dinner we got in the car and drove to the Delores We had arrived about 40 minutes after we had left. My father helped my mother climb out the car and then me before he let go of my hand he pulled me close to his chest " don't mess this up for me Riley" he stated through gritted teeth he let go and walked towards the door where there was two security guards they both sent my father a stern look and a nod that motioned for my father to open the door. We stepped inside it beautiful my eyes widened in awe at the beautiful architecture and paintings let's not forget the marble flooring this house must be worth millions, sending a glance to my father which he returned with a slight smile I hear a very welcoming voice from behind "welcome to our home...Anderson's" he greeted graciously I could already feel myself getting nervous...
