Chapter 1
It's 7:00pm.
"Hello,how are you?"I greeted James my fiance as he waltzed into the restaurant we booked for our dinner tonight. He didn't spare me a glance and only grumbled some words beneath his breath. No apologies, nothing despite he was almost an hour late. I wasn't going to let this slide like other times.
"James, you are late again", I asked him, calmly. "And what's that supposed to mean?, do you know who I am? Do you even know the family you are getting into? You don't question me as the man, you dare not". James fired back.
"But....". "But what?, You have nothing to say, you can't question my authority it actions, I will act as I want. Moreover you and your family doesn't fit my standard. Marrying you is me doing you and your family a life time favour".
"You know what James? It is over" I told
him, as I fling his ring off and walked away with my shoulders high and chin in the air.

I got to the parking lot with a confidence I never knew I had, located my car and drove home.
"Hello mum, hello Dad" I greeted my parents quickly. I wasn't ready for any discussion tonight, I just want to sleep and forget the heart wrenching pains I was feeling now.
"Welcome dear, how was the date?" my mum asked.
"It was fine ma," I replied with a facade smile.
"Angela! What's wrong? I know that smile"
"Mum, dad," I called them. There will be no need prolonging this, I have ended things with James."
"What do you mean by, you have ended things with James?" My mum asked.
Dad tried calming her. "Go and rest sweetheart, we would talk of all these tomorrow." My dad instructed.
I walked to my room and lay on my bed sleep was far away, I had a lot to discuss with my parents tomorrow. Gosh! I feel so free being away from James.
I need rest now, you will get to know I and James story soon, how we met, and how our relationship was the envy of friends and family.
But for now good night. On my way to wonderland.
