chapter 1
Jessica sits in her dressing room, staring in the mirror, while her mind wanders off.
Jessica (fl)
(What the hell of a month...)
Jessica (fl)
(First, I lost my elder brother, James, in the war with the Donati family...)
Jessica (fl)
(Then, the Donatsi requires a marriage bounded two families together, which my parents agree!)
(*｀Д´)ノ！！！
Jessica let out a heavy sigh.
Jessica (fl)
(l feel so... Lost...)
Jessica (fl)
(I don't know what to do...)
Jessica (fl)
(My life is no longer up to my choices anymore...)
Jessica swallow hard. Now she needs to get ready for her future "husband."
Just when Jessica check her final makeup, her mother calls her from downstairs.
(fl mom)
Jessica, quickly! The Donati is just minutes away!
Her mother looks as worried as Jessica is.
She forces a smile on her face as she sees Jessica in her dress.
(fl mom)
You look lovely, sweetie. (⌒‐⌒)
Jessica (fl)
I guess so, given the circumstance...
(fl mom)
Oh, I am so sorry to put you in this mess!
Jessica (fl)
**hugs mother**
Jessica (fl)
it's okay, mother. I understand my duty.
Jessica (fl)
I want to do this for James, and you, and papa... (⌒‐⌒)
Just then, her uncle, Maximo, rushes back into the house.
maximo
Now you two, please look lively...
maximo
The Donati is here!
Jessica straighten yourself up as she hears footsteps approaching.
Jessica meets a middle-aged man, face to face.
He is a medium-built gentleman half a foot taller than Jessica.
A dashing gray hair with a receding hairline suggests he's about twice Jessica's age
Jessica (fl)
(I feel like I am gonna throw up!)
Jessica (fl)
Hi Affonso, is it? (⌒‐⌒)
affonso

But Jessica cannot help but notice a fine young man standing by his side.
He is tall and fit with a sharp jawline ready to cut through steel.
He meets Jessica gaze and nods at her.
Jessica (fl)
