Chapter 2 - I can't marry him

She's a total betrayal".

I stared at everyone, My eyes brimmed with tears,which then spilled over.

Just then my mom leaned Closer to me with a mischievous tone.

"Don't Worry I will bail you out,just do it for the family remember I raised".

I quickly ran out of the company without letting her finishe what she had to say.

I couldn't digest the millions of hurt and betrayal in a day, I ran into my car and drove trying to escape the shame.

I speed out of the parking lot and into the main road.

The city lights blurred as I drove faster, ignoring the angry honks. I didn't see the car until its headlights blinded me. I swerved hard, but it was too late. Metal shrieked, glass exploded, and then came a sickening crash. The airbag hit my face, hot and suffocating.

Everything went dark. That was when I realised that I died trying to escape from my family.

PRESENT DAY

My pain grew even more,as I floated out the hospital and went to Gavins house and saw him in tears with his mom.

My heart ripped apart seeing him in tears . not until I heard the words coming from him.

"Mom, you and I know the only reason I married Ivy was for her family to help us clear up the debt father is owing, and...also be close to Tracy".

His words felt like a punch in the guts, I couldn't believe the man I was in love with married me just to be close to my sister.

"I'm disappointed, but more surprised".his mom Countered."What do you intend to do right now?" his mom asked, holding his hands".

"Well… I will pay my last tribute to her and then move to the love of my life", he said putting up a bright Smile I have never Seen before.

Then it dawned on me that I have always been a pawn in their game.the only thing they wished for a petty loser like me was death.

I looked at the life I have lived past years, it was nothing to be proud of,at that moment the only thing I prayed for was a second for a broken soul and nothing will stop me from having my revenge.

Not a person or pain. I will make sure they get exactly what they deserve. Then, I am going to let them die slowly as they watch me destroy the world they fought so hard to build.

Just then my eye moved towards Gavin he was already packing out my belongings from his house like was always waiting for this Day to come.

I sobbed uncontrollably.

I closed my eyes shouted

"Gavin! you will pay for this".

And because i was already a shadow he didn't hears me.

When I opened my eyes I found myself on the bed and when I looked around I saw my sister staring at me.

"Ivy it's past 8am remember we need to get you ready for your wedding".

I jolted up from my bed,with surprise filled in my.

"wait did you say wedding".

I quickly grabbed my phone and looked at my calendar and then it was dawn on me that I went back to a year ago before I married Gavin

Tracy stared at me with confusion, "what do you mean by wedding, did you have some memory lose last night".

She hissed and went out of the room.

I got up from my bed and looked at the mirror with range burning in my heart.

"I lived a pitiful life in my past and I just can't let that happen again for the second time, I need to fight back even if it means tearing this family down".

As the adopted daughter of the Rowlands family I never had what my younger sister had I was never given a chance to do what I like.

I was too blinded with love for my family, that I couldn't see through their deceptive act.

Immediately I brought my phone and dropped a text for my friend Natalie. "What is your director's schedule like I want to see him today".

"ma'am please it's time to dress you up".one of the servants gestured.

"Alright please start". And then I sat down on the chair and she started to apply make-up on me.

At that moment I felt a slight pain on my ankle, when I looked at it I realised I had a calendar on my hand indicating the year, which only I can see.

And then my phone buzzed "Yes he will be at the Bank's hotel by 2pm to meet with his bride to be your sister".

"perfect!, This is just getting interesting".

""""""""

As time flew by, I was already standing at the altar with Gavin facing me.

And I remembered this was the kind of look he had the day we were getting married with no sign of excitement.

"Ivy Rowlands, do you take Gavin as your lawfully wedded husband to love and to cherish, until death do you both apart".

My eyes expressions wandered,unfocused around the hall with everyone staring and waiting for my replies.

Doubts began to creep in,I wondered if I am making the mistakes for the second time in my life.

"Miss Ivy". The reverend called my attention."Do you take Gavin here I as your lawfully wedded…

"No!". I shouted with my face pinned to the ground."No sir I can't marry a man who doesn't feel anything for"

All hell let loose, the crowd went berserk.

"What … babe… what are you blabbing out".Gavin asked and grabbed my hand."you know I love you,what do you mean by I don't love".

I pulled away from him. With no sign of regrets I shouted.

"Everyone listen my husband is marrying me for his selfish reasons, I… I… tears rolled down my eyes.

I quickly dragged out the ring on my finger,and threw it on him and ran out of the hall.
