At the Neils' Villa, 19 years old Stacy stood at the balcony looking at the people discussing about her and a man she knows nothing about. She hated that fact, the scene before her and even began to despise her parents. She wondered what she was that her parents were so ready to sell her just for the name of being associated with the Neils. She thought to herself "who the fuck is Damien Neils or should I say my future husband".
. . . . .
The discussion was over and seeing the smile on her mother's face, Stacy knew that it went as planned. Her mother, Deyna Wand is a woman all about her status and if being associated with the Neils will uplift her, she is so ready to give everything. Thinking about this, she felt disgusted. Mr Wand on the other hand had a simple smile on his face. He was worried about what he was getting his only daughter into. He knew an arranged marriage never favours the bride and he feared for his beloved daughter. If not for the fact that the Wand family badly needed financial assistance from the Neils, he would never marry his daughter off to that demon..... well demon is a perfect name for Damien Neils.
. . . . .
It was time for Stacy to meet her future inlaws. Meeting her father-in- law, Stacy Made a good impression of herself and Mr Neils Sr as addressed seem to like Stacy. On the other hand, Mrs Rexxone Neils didn't like Stacy, she could tell that from the way the woman glared at her. Her looks alone made Stacy feel uncomfortable. Noticing this, Mr Francis Neils draged his daughter-in-law to his side with the excuse of wanting to know more about her. Stacy exchanged a knowing glance with her dad. She thought to herself " what am I getting into??". Mrs wand on the other hand didn't notice anything as she couldn't get enough of the luxury around her.
. . . . .
It was a few minutes past six when the Wand family decided to return to their mansion after a long talk over dinner about the marriage preparations.
Stacy was exhausted and fed up with her mother's embarrassing talks. As they were about to leave , Mrs Deyna suddenly asked of Damien's phone number so she can contact her son-in-law but to everyone's surprise Mrs Rexxone refused bluntly saying "my son despises being call by strangers so just wait for his return" She let out a disgusting sneer after her statement which made Stacy furrowed her brow as she thought within her "why can't she just be nice, I know mother is a bit pocknosy, but she shouldn't be that arrogant. Moreover, he is my future husband, I have the right to want to speak to him".Stacy felt she should stand up for her mother but was stopped by her father's hand brushing over her shoulders. She turned her gaze towards him and he nodded signalling that they should be leaving already. For a moment she felt her father read her mind. She grabbed her mother's hand and they said their last goodbyes and left the villa.
. . . . .
It was eight o'clock at the Wand mansion, in a luxurious big masters bedroom Deyna was speaking to her husband "why did she have to reply so rudely?, I just wanted my son-in-laws contact and nothing more" Deyna said in a low tone but got no reply. For a moment she thought her husband was asleep, turning her head, she realized he was awake and in deep thought that he couldn't even hear her. "Just what are you thinking about?" She said this time in a higher tone which brought him back to his senses "ermmm... Just today and nothing more" he replied while in true sense worry for his daughter had occupied his mind "Thomas??" Deyna stared at him not sure about his reply but decided to let it go "what were you saying?" Thomas Wand asked "uhmm ... Nevermind. Good night" Deyna said and they went to sleep.
. . . . .
In a simple but luxurious room, Stacy had a sleepless night. It was a few past four when she glanced at her wall clock hanging on the wall just above her reading table. She was lost in thought of what her new life with the Neils will be like. She remembered her encounter with Mrs Rexxone and began having a second thought about the marriage. Mrs Rexxone is actually an averaged height woman. Seeing her you would know that she's an affluent woman. The way she speaks and her exquisite makeup distinguish her feature. As for Mr Neils Sr, he is an affluent well mannered man. His scanty gray hair signified he was in his mid sixties. Throughout the night she couldn't get this two people off her mind. At a point she compared them to her parents. Mrs Deyna was a little taller than Mrs Rexxone, she isn't so rich but she can communicate in a well mannered way. Apart from her silly acts sometimes, she was a woman who can be described as beautiful and well mannered. After much deliberation, Stacy concluded that they are both in their mid fourties. As for Mr Wand, he was in his late fifties. He was a pretty tall man with clear bright eyes. He could charm anybody with his cheerfree aura and that was something Stacy could boast she got from her dad.
