CHAPTER ONE: The introduction

   Everybody is happy and cheerful today in the Landon's family, their eldest daughter is getting married. Scarlett walks into the room filled with giggling ladies, she spotted her sister in the midst of them as she walked closer.

   "You look beautiful" Scarlett said as she hugged her sister.

   "Thank you" Kiara hugged back. The ladies who were present at the room left, leaving two sisters to enjoy their moments.

   "I can't believe you are really getting married, back when we were little you would say how much you disliked been bound with someone and now" She looked at her sister smiling.

   "It happened unexpectedly" Kiara said at the verge of tears.

   The door pushes open as a woman in her mid-forties walks in, "Kiara dear don't ruin your make-up". She raised her hand and beats Scarlett at her shoulder "ow!" Scarlett cried. "Why are you making your sister cry?"

   "How is that my fault?!" Scarlett feigns anger.

   Kiara laughs. "Will you two ever stop fighting?" 

    Scarlett glared at her mother before hissing. "You see that, you will never change" Beatrice shakes her head. "Kiara help me convince your sister to have a talk with Tyler today" 

   "Tyler? Who is Tyler?" Scarlett asked, utterly confused as to what's going on.

   "Mom, not today please" Kiara pleads.

   "Then when! Your sister is getting old by the second, she needs to get married so she can give birth and still look young, haven't you met me" Beatrice turns around.

   "What's going on?" Scarlett looked at her sister for answers.

  "Mom wants to set you up" Kiara spills.

  "It's already finalized, after your wedding today we will start the preparation for hers" Beatrice said.

  As Scarlett was about to question her mom, they had a knock on the door. "It's time for the procession" The latter spoke.

  "Am so nervous" Kiara breathes fast.

  "Just remember to say I do, okay" 

  Scarlett rolls her eyes at her mother's statement. "Kiara everything will be fine, like mom said, say I do" Scarlett pulls her mom out of the room, as the ladies from before go back in.

  A week after Kiara's wedding, everything was set up for Scarlett's  introduction, Tyler's family were already seated at the living room.

  "They are already here, why aren't you dressed?" Beatrice said angrily.

  Scarlett was covered up in her duvet, "Mom I said am not going, I have a boyfriend whom I love" 

  "Boyfriends fade away, they are unreliable"

   "You are unreliable! You want me to get married to someone I haven't said hello to, just like how you forced Kiara right"

   "Come down now! Don't embarrass me" Beatrice slams the door.

    Scarlett got up from her bed and threw on a crazy jeans and t-shirt which printed "Fuck shit up!" wore her flip-flops as she went out to greet them.

   She sat next her mother who couldn't stop making a fuss about what she was wearing in an undertone.

   "Your daughter looks beautiful Beatrice" Tyler's mom Dame complimented.

   "Well she took it from me" Beatrice pride herself, "I am sorry at the way she's dressed".

  "It's no problem at all, I like that she's original" Dame replied, "I should be the one apologizing, my son can't make it today he left on a business trip this afternoon"

  "And you scold me for not coming" Scarlett whispers to her mother.

  "Well at least one half of the couple is here, we can still go on" Beatrice said.

  "Oh yes!" Dame brought out a case from bag which holds a 24 carat diamond ring. "This is your engagement ring" Dame offers it to Scarlett.

   "Wear it" Beatrice pushes her. Scarlett wore it on her finger. "You see it fits" Beatrice smiled.

   "I'm so glad it fits" Dame said, "So you'll be coming with me".

   Scarlett looked at her mother confused. "Is it for the wedding fitting?" Beatrice asked.

   "Of course no, the wedding will go on if the two party are comfortable living with each other, especially with Tyler's son he is peculiar about that"

   "Son?" Scarlett looked at Dame wide eyed, she turned to her mother, "when were you going to tell me?"

  "Your mom didn't know about...."

  "Heck yeah! What part didn't she know?, The part that I'll be living with your son for two months or that he has a son?" Scarlett storms off and leaves, she could hear her mom call out to her.

   "I hope I didn't stir up any trouble" Dame said concerned.

   "Oh no you didn't, infact she will be at his house tomorrow". She reassures.

   Indeed Scarlett left for his house but it wasn't tomorrow as Beatrice presumed. Kiara was the one who convinced her to give it a try after days of pestering. Yes Scarlett is going but she has a plan.
