OUR SERENDIPITY

Isabella watches, her expression gives nothing away, but her heart is hammering in her rib cage , “so, he is a boxer. An alpha-” Her mother stops her, “a pure blooded alpha.” She grits his teeth, “right.” “So, he is a boxer,” Bella starts again, “that's his job.” Her mother nods, grins wide, “for now. He is to take over his family business.

He is unbeatable.” Amelia her best friend turned sister hides her face in her palms, “so this marriage,” she coughs to break the tension between mother and daughter , “he knows and agreed to it?” Isabella prays to whoever is listening for the answer to be negative. “Yes.” “He knows I am a singer right ?” Isabella leans against the chair, “knows about my career?” Her mother nods again, “his family find you very suitable for him.” Isabella would curse, but her mother will probably still ground her , “I see,” she stares at Amelia. Amelia looks like she is in pain for her, Isabella knows her face shows the exact emotion, she sighs and asks “when can I meet him?” Her mother smiles, “I gave him your number. He will call you.” Isabella snaps, “you gave away my number to a random stranger?!” Her mother frowns, “he is your fiancé?!” Isabella bites back a curse, rubs her temple, “so do I at least have the last say in this?” His mother's face twitches, “o-of course. Your father prefers him, though.” Isabella knows what that means. She glares at her mother. Her mother stares back at her as if she doesn’t know what is going on” "I will take her away now," Amelia tugs at her friend and smiles widely at Isabella’s mother, "she has a photoshoot.she will call you, aunty." She nods, sips her tea that is Bella hopes she chokes on, "sure, my dear Amelia. Remind her to call soon! She never calls home or comes home unless we call her” Isabella keeps glaring at her on her way out. “Tell me this is the most terrible hour of your life!" Bella hisses, leaning against the elevator, “Tell me I am not freaking out for nothing!" “Amelia, they arranged my marriage without asking me to tell me I'm dreaming!” Amelia leans on the wall, "my life aside, this is a situation you need to handle very maturely. So, stop panicking!" "I am going to throw up," Isabella throws her hands up in frustration, glaring at her friend, “Pureblood alpha, lia! He is a pure blood alpha. He will be so prudish. Would never understand my choices or care for them just like everyone in my family I don't need this right now! Oh, My God!" "First of , you need to calm down!" Amelia hisses, grabbing at her hands, "we will find a way. You can ask Oliver and you two can decide-" Isabella blinks, "I am dating! Oh, my God, I forgot that I am dating!" Amelia stares at her friend, "Girl? you… forgot that you are dating?" Bella waves her off, "I will just talk to the alpha and tell him to go away." Amelia rubs at her temple as they walk out of the elevator, "just be nice. Don't bring trouble on yourself." Isabella shrugs, "Whatever. This wedding is not happening. I am not letting it!".
