Chapter 1
After the death of Ethan, I was very lonely, I didn’t have anyone around until he came into my life. You must be wondering who I am. I am Leah Smith, I am 18 years old and soon to be getting married to someone I don’t even know or have never met. My marriage was fixed on the day I was born and trust me it’s not good. My parents are very rich but they don’t love each other neither do they love me. I don’t have any hard feelings, just saying. I am not allowed to make any friends or to talk to anyone. Even if my parents don’t care about me they still have a lot of rules like I am not allowed to meet anyone or to have any friends, not to go to parties or drink. I only had a boyfriend till now that also I had to keep a secret until he got into that accident.
2 months before.....
After 2 years of dating Ethan, he finally proposed to me on my 18th birthday. It was like a dream come true. I believed in love but never saw one because of my parents (uk they hate each other). He was a perfect boyfriend, perfect best friend and would have been a perfect husband too until he died. His death was a shock to me, it still is but I think that this is how we were supposed to end.
Back in the present.....
As I said I am getting married so, today my parents told me who I am getting married to and I am shocked. I am getting married to Lorenzo Salerno, the most dangerous, powerful and feared man in the US. He is 31 years old, yes he is 13 years elder than me. I am just curious why does he want to get married to me. I know that it would benefit my parents as he can protect them but how it is beneficial to him. I don’t know what’s going to happen and to be honest I am pretty scared I think he will get rid of me or kill me.
