Mia stood in front of her dad with tears rolling down her eyes as she yelled, "I will not get married to a stranger! Do I like some kind of commodity that can be easily traded?"
"You have to do this, Mia," Mr. Coleman Mia's father spoke calmly.
"Josh will propose to me soon. I will not marry a stranger, and that is final!" Mia cried out.
Mr. Coleman stood there as he listened to Mia. With the look on his face, he is certain about his decision. All he wanted now was to convince Mia to get married to Mr. Dawson Kings.
"Mia, you know how important this is for the family. The company is bankrupt. This is what Dawson Kings wants before he offers help to the company, and we have agreed to it," Mr. Coleman explained calmly.
"Where is Sarah? Isn't she your favourite and the heir to your company? She is supposed to be the one getting married to him, not me," Mia yelled.
"Mia, you know Sarah just got engaged and is planning her wedding. We can't ruin that for her already."
"I don't care. She just got engaged two days ago to a mysterious man nobody knows about. She should get married to Mr. King as the heir to your company, not me. What sort of a man decides to get married to another man's daughter because he wants to offer help anyway?"
Mrs. Coleman, Mia's stepmother, stood across the room with her hands on her waist as she listened to Mia's outburst.
"Don't push me to the wall, Mia. Your father and I have already made arrangements. If you don't get married to Dawson Kings this weekend, we are going to lose everything we have worked hard for. Our house, our company, and also our lives," Victoria yelled.
Mia chuckled, "You mean your house, your company, and your life because nothing here belongs to me."
"Mia, I know you don't like me much, but I am your stepmother, and I raised you. My husband is also your father. We have no one else to help us except you," Victoria said calmly.
"Marriage is a lifetime decision. Do you mean I should be with a complete stranger for the rest of my life?" She paused, and there was silence in the room. "I have a boyfriend whom I know will propose to me soon. If you consider me as a daughter, then you won't demand much from me and not demand the same from Sarah."
"Mia," Victoria yelled as she approached Mia and stood in front of her.
Mia had already made up her mind this time around. She had always done all her parents asked of her since she was a little girl, but this time around, she wouldn't sacrifice her happiness for the sake of her family again.
"I won't be part of an arranged, or should I say a forced, marriage. I will not marry Dawson Kings." Just as she said these final words, Victoria slapped her hard on the cheeks.
"You should consider this an honour that you are getting the chance to marry a wealthy billionaire. If Sarah wasn't engaged already, she would have gotten married to him and become a very powerful woman. You should consider yourself lucky," Victoria spoke sternly.
Mia's mother left when she was six months old after finding out another woman gave birth for Coleman. After a few days, Coleman married Victoria and brought her in with their child. Since then, Mia grew up not knowing what a mother's love felt like. All the parental love and care went straight to Sarah. Mia had already accepted her fate. She tried to be a good daughter and respectful towards her family members. But Victoria had always considered Mia an outcast. She made sure Mia was never happy, and life was a living hell.
Her dad always supported Victoria and Sarah even in times when he knew that they were wrong. Victoria and Sarah had taken away everything from her, including the joy of a happy family, and now Victoria is talking about being lucky to go into a loveless marriage.
"Don't be selfish. We have done so much more for you. We raised you properly and gave you everything you needed.
"Both of you had always made me feel like an outcast. You have done nothing for me. You sent me to a boarding school and never cared to check on me. You gave me leftover food and also old clothes of Sarah to wear-"
"You stupid girl!" Victoria spoke sternly as she raised her hand again to hit Mia again, but Mia held her hand.
"I won't give you that chance anymore." Mia replied.
Victoria removed her hand from Mia's grip and chuckled sarcastically, "It's a good thing you stopped me. I would not like to ruin your face and leave marks on it. You need a good face for the wedding and not a bruised one."
Mia had always known that her father's company had always been their priority, but she always had her doubts. Now she is so sure about it.
"Mia," her father called, "think of what would happen if Mr. Kings doesn't help us. He is our only hope. I will end up going to jail. This house and all the memories in it will be gone, and all of our employees will be left jobless."
Mia knew her father was trying to manipulate her because he knew she was softhearted, but she wasn't ready to give in.
"Well, the house had always held bad memories for me," Mia replied.
"How do you think Josh will feel if he finds out I'm leaving him to get married to another man?" Mia asked, her voice trembling.
Victoria gave a sarcastic laugh. "Josh? Hasn't he told you yet?" she asked.
Mia furrowed her brows. "Told me what?"
"Josh, your beloved boyfriend whom you have kept your body for, is getting married to your sister Sarah and not you!" Victoria chuckled.
