Emily's Pov It was the next day. I got up and my whole body was in pain. Yeah, the couch wasn't comfortable at all! I went into the kitchen and saw the maid from yesterday, making breakfast. Upon seeing me she looked at me with scorn and continued her cooking. I, on the other hand, didn't give a shit about her. I took out a pan and fried some eggs and made toast. I also made coffee to drink. I sat on the table and eat. After eating breakfast, I took a bath and got ready. I'm going home. Even though I don't wanna go there, I'm still going because I don't have any other place to go. I wore some black leggings and a sweater with a snow coat over me, since it's snowing and some snowshoe. I tied my hair into a ponytail and did nothing to my face except for adding some lips gloss to my lips. After I was finished, I went back into the living room to collect my bag, which had my stuff inside. As I enter the living room, I saw Xavier sitting on the couch and Vanessa sitting across the other side with both mom and dad. "Good morning honey" Dad greeted me with a fake smile on his face. I ignore him and grab my stuff, which was beside Xavier. "Goodbye" I said and walked to the door. As soon as I open the door I was greeted by two strong bodyguards blocking the doorway. "Umm....please excuse me," I said politely but they didn't move. "I said please excuse me!" I spoke a little louder but again the didn't move. "Just give me a pass!" I shouted but again..... I decided that I'll run through them but that didn't quite work out because when I tried it, they were too strong and they grab ahold of me and took me to a black car. "Where are you guys taking me?!! Help! HELP!!!" I shouted but no one came to my rescue. Opening the door, they put me inside and lock the door. "Help!!! Someone's kidnapping me!!!" I shouted. "Keep quiet!" A masculine voice said and I jumped. I turned in the direction the voice was coming from and saw Xavier sitting beside me. How the hell did he get in here? "Drive," he told a man, who I'm assuming is the driver and the car started. "Where are you taking me?" I asked. "To shop for your dress" "I don't want to marry you," I said annoyed at him. "Yeah, I know but you don't have a choice" I sigh and lay back in the seat. "Why me?" I mumble. Why does all the bad stuff always happen to me? What have I done to deserve this? He looked at my face for some time before asking "who slapped you?" "Huh....no....no one" I lied. "Then why is your face swollen and red?" "It is?" I asked and took out my phone to take a look at my face. Shit! I should've put ice on it last night. "Who slapped you?" He repeated. "Umm...I fell yesterday" I lied again. "Are you sure? Because I don't like people lying to me" he said in a serious tone that made me shiver in fear. "Yea----no" "Then?" "Well, it was my....my...D...da---" I hesitate. "Your dad?" He cut me off and I nodded. "But please don't tell him it was me who said that," I begged. I don't want any more trouble with those people. "Boss, we're here," the driver said and the car stopped at a huge wedding dress store. "Come on," he said and I hopped out of the car and enter the store with him. "Ah, Mr. Stephano. It nice to see you. What can I help you with?" The old man, who I'm assuming is the boss of the store, asked. "I'm here to find a dress for my fiancé" he replied. "Hi!" I waved at him and he came over to me and shook my hands. "Hello there. I'm Mr. Brown, the owner of the store. I'll try my best to help you with finding the perfect wedding dress fit for you" "Thank you" I smiled and he took me to the dress section, with Xavier following from behind. "I'm sorry Mr. Xavier but you cannot see your fiancé's dress until the wedding, so why don't you sit down over here and wait, huh?" He asked and Xavier nodded and took a seat. ... "How about this?" He asked. "I already told you, anything will work," I said. It's been 2 hours. 2 whole hours and I haven't found my dress as yet. Well, I don't care what dress. I told Mr. Brown that any dress will do but he kept saying, I need to choose one. "Fine. Then I'll choose one for you then" he said and brought back a beautiful dress with him. "Try it on," he said and I went into the changing room and put the dress on. Wow. It was pretty. "Are you done?" Mr. Brown asked and I replied with a yes. I came out and looked in the mirror. "Beautiful! Magnificent! You look very beautiful in this dress!" He complimented me. "Okay. Then I choose this one" I smiled and I went to change. ... "I'm done," I said to Xavier who looks like he was sitting patiently waiting for me. "Great, let's go and pay for it well," he said we went to the counter. "How much?" I asked. "$100,000" she replied and my mouth dropped open. That much much? Xavier went into the wallet to take out the money. I stopped and pulled him to a corner. "You don't have to pay. I'll....I'll choose a cheaper----" "I don't buy cheap stuff," he said sternly. "But.....but isn't that too much?" I asked. "Not for a billionaire" he replied and went back to the cashier. Dang, he must really be one. "Give me the dress" And so the dress was bought.
