Description

Betrayed by her fiance and her family, Ellie thought, for a fleeting moment, that being tied down to a ghost she had never known was the only option. But that was until a wild thought banged her head. "Run, Ellie!" Her mind screamed. The heart is always right, they say, and at that point in her life, Ellie had no one to trust but her shattered heart. She ran into a new city, and as if fate had chosen to compensate her for all the sufferings she had gone through, she crashed with someone who swept her off her feet on their very first encounter. But months later, a call came through from home: "Ellie, my child. You need to come ASAP! Your father has been seriously ill. Your father needs you now more than ever." The voice of her nanny echoed through the line. The following morning, Ellie was once again packing her bags and saying goodbye to the love she had found. Finding her father on his sick bed and with a swam of doctors surrounding him broke Ellie's heart into a million pieces. And then came her father's plea in his sick bed. "My dear, I am giving you a choice out of this, but on one condition: that you have to meet your betrothed even just this once. Whatever you decide after that, I, your father, will respect your decision." This was what Ellie had always wished for, but given the situation, she knew she could not upset her father. She had to concede. But the moment her supposed ghost betrothed walked in, Ellie realized one thing: she had never known the face of betrayal until that particular moment!

Romance

Chapitre 1

Nov 29, 2024

"Holly mother of workaholics!" I rest my heavy head on my chair after parking in my . If shit was a person, huh!

I would love to rest even just a bit more, but not here. As I step out of my car in the driveway of my humble abode, I let out a deep sigh. Did I say humble? Sigh!

What an understatement!

For heaven's sake, let me say that I live up to the weight of my title as Riccaford.

Riccarford is a household name that rings a bell in each and every soul in this whole . We are one of the owners of this country. A name that goes down from way in time, in the times of our great ancestors. We are the gurus of money and . I reek of wealth to the heavens, and I am not sorry to brag about it. I have both entitlement and my sweat on this wealth. Yes, because I work my ass off from morning until late at night beside my father to oversee the smooth and running of our businesses.

Ooh, by the way, I am Ellie Marrie Riccaford. The one and only child of my father late mother!

People think that with this title, I am the luckiest soul in the world. I have it all. Well,

I do money-wise. There is nothing in this world that money can buy that I can’t afford.

I won’t even sweat over it. But is life all about money?

Bitter sigh!

Living lavishly and serving as my father's assistant as the head of the marketing at his extensive hotel chain are the only benefits I get to enjoy as the who has this title. Of course, this was far from my ideal profession, but I had choice but to accede to my father's requests and demands since, as they say, who challenge Richard Riccaford? No one! No one dared, and I was just a naive kid could not even look her daring father straight in the eye. His was to command, mine was to obey, as an obedient child.

I have consistently complied with his requests, even when my mom was still living.

Nothing has ever changed. Following commands is an obligation of being a Riccaford, I think being the only child contributed much to my being this disadvantaged.

Everything that my father sees as advantageous for him and his businesses is what are required to do. And that too, without questioning his decisions. Whether I am with his choices or not, in the end, it’s his way that you will follow. My were never taken into consideration from the outset. I am the living of my father. I am all that he wanted me to become. I am more of him than . I even forgot about having my own dreams along the way. What was the point?

He is the remote of my life, pointing me in whatever direction he wants me to take.

And this sucks! So very much!

I have fulfilled all of his requests, obeyed all his damned orders, but the bomb that is to go off tomorrow will jeopardize our relationship in ways which I have no . The picture of our lives from tomorrow is so vague that I can’t even picture it!

Curious to know what I am ranting about?

Well, tomorrow marks my twentieth birthday. Birthdays, huh? They ought to be the that I always go out of my way and have a taste of life outside work. It has been only day that I get to sample some enjoyment. Go out. Have fun. Shop like I am for the entire world. Spoil my small circle of buddies like it’s the last day of together. Yeah, I do all that, but not tomorrow.

Tomorrow is so different. And if only I could, I would halt time in its tracks. I would the sun to remain still. I would ask for one thing—to remain in this moment —if I could have just one wish at this precise moment, it would be to always as the nineteen-year-old I am. To never face tomorrow. I would ask for time to still forever. Because tomorrow is the auspicious day when I am supposed to my betrothed—some shitty jerk that I don’t even know his name. But then, hell , there is no way I will trade my life and happiness for that. I have obliged ! I have been ordered around enough.

I have been a good daughter, and I still will continue to be. But if this will label me , then so be it! I have had enough of being controlled like an object that not have a mind of its own or a say in its life. I say enough is enough. This time,

I am daring to do what I have never even dreamed of doing—fight for my happiness my rights. I have the right to choose who to marry. The person with whom I will my life should be my own choice.

I toss my life's sad tale to the side and begin stumbling inside. I'm worn out and . The weight of what awaits me tomorrow is not doing any justice to my tired either. Before I read over the prose for my presentation for tomorrow's meetings, I might need to get some forty winks.

Yeah, yeah! I know. I need a good rest. A good sleep. A vacation would do given how I have worked of late. But do I have time? Talk of workaholics!

I leap inside in excitement after realizing the door is not secured.

Sherry and Rose, two of my friends, told me they would see me tomorrow, of course, the dreadful birthday celebration as I had just spoken to them on the way here. As I want to celebrate! Bitter sigh! Give me a break, please! I am passing on their , but I just did not have the courage to turn them down physically. Hopefully, I come up with a sweet believable excuse by sunrise. Perhaps, tell them that Leo to celebrate with me?

Speaking of Leo Theodore, my boyfriend, he is the only one with a spare key to this . We have been dating for two years and frankly, it's high time we settle down.

He is all that I could possibly want in a man, and I am the apple of his eye. Well, I been wanting to be married for almost four months, but he is scared of the same that scares me.

Tomorrow! Damned tomorrow! This cursed day!
