Chapter 1
My mother sold me for money.
That's the only way I can explain it.
My father's best friend came to our house with a proposal.
His family has everything - the biggest mansion in the city, cars, companies. He offered my parents a fortune that would clear all their debts and set up life.
The price was me.
They want me to marry one of their sons.
My parents said yes before I even got home from school. They didn't ask me if I was in love with someone else.
They just told me I have two days to pack.
My name is Aloura .
In two days, I become a valemont
The valemont family has two sons.
The first one is Azran valemont. He is twenty, the oldest and the heir to everything. He is cold , rude , and looks at me like I am a problem he has to deal with. He never smiles.
When we first met at their mansion, he looked me up and down and said " so you're her"
Later that night, he cornered me in the hallway and whispered in my ear " Don't get comfortable, Aloura this is just business. Don't expect anything from me"
I hate him.
The second son is Kael valemont. He is the opposite. He is warm , kind , and his smile makes the whole room feel lighter.
He was the one who opened the door for me . He was the one who said " Don't worry, you'll be safe here ."
He is the one I find myself looking for when I walk in a room .
If i had a choice, I would marry Kael.
Their mother, Seraphine, is the only reason I can breathe in that house.
She hugged me when I arrived and said " Welcome home , sweetheart." She is the only one who makes it feels like a home and not a prison.
Yesterday we were at the beach for a family Photoshoot. A little boy came up to me and Azran and asked " Are you two friends?"
We both said " No" at the exact same time. Too fast. Too angry
The boy ran away scared.
We are definitely not friends we are enemies.
But in two days , we will be husband and wife.
And I have no way out.
