Valencia , Spain
Florence Cathedral Church

"You 're embarking on a new path , letting go of past connections to form new bond . Today marks the beginning of your new life . Once you say ' I Do ' , your ties with this family will cease and you 'll be responsible for navigating life challenges also,"My dad Theron Kingsley snapped at me outside the church with a scowl on his face , avoiding eye contact .

My eyes brimmed with tears , and I bowed my head . I whispered a tearful ' YES ' , unable to muster up the strength to raise my head . He held my hand tightly and started walking down the aisle . I approached my groom and my father to let go my hand . He stepped back as my groom about whom I knew nothing , but I had still faith in my father's decision , took my hand .

The ceremony started . We exchanged the vows , promising to love and cherish each other , with exchanged of rings as a symbol of commitment . The entire ceremony , which lasted 30 minutes . All I could think about was the two words ' I Do ' which means accepting the marriage , would change my entire life. But I hadn't thought it would change so much .

After the ceremony , when I approached my father , he showed me his hand and stopped me . My stepmother Dorthea Kingsley and stepsister Mabel Kingsley had twisted smile on their face . Standing behind my father , they spoke with fake sympathetic expression " Forgave her , her upbringing hasn't been good . That's why she has become like this . Just leave and let's go home . " She grabbed my father's hand and went to house with my step - sister .

After 3 days of marriage ,

I haven't seen my husband again apart from wedding day . He left me at home and went out somewhere for work , but hasn't returned . When I asked servant , they just say he 's busy . I didn't even had his number to contact him . Though, I only knew his name Kaidan Brier,vrest nothing else.

I thought of going somewhere for a day out . After 2 hours of shopping . I decided to visit my father's house despite having not a good relationship .

As I entered , I heard my stepmother voice saying something " just two more days and all the property will be ours . After that we will kill her and his father . Then , we 'll fly to another country and there you can marry my daughter , your first love . "

" Just two days , please ! " Mabel said in fake melody tone .

" Ok , just for two more days , After that I am divorcing her . I don't care about money."

That was the voice of my so called husband . They were taking about me and my father . Tears welled up in my eyes . I was totally broken after hearing the truth . I didn't have the courage to confront them . I slowly made my way to my father's room looking carefully not to make sound .

" What are you doing here ? I told you not to come " . My father yelled .

" Dad , your wife , his daughter and my husband are planning to kill us . They have married us for money ." I said in panic .

" It's good that the truth is out . Now we don't have to wait for two days .The property will transfer go ahead in two anyway . So , Kill them . " My stepsister said with wry smile , entering the room .

" What's going on " My father yelled .

" Nothing happened yet , but it will now," Kaidan said hurriedly .

They grabbed our hand . " Now , it's time to die ," Mabel said .

" No , please don't kill my dad . Please," I said .

But stepmother ignored me and slit my father's throat right before my eyes . I fell on my knees with tears in my eyes .

" Now , it's your turn " Kaidan said .

Just as he was reaching for me , I pushed him ran away from them ." She's escaping , catch her ," My stepmother yelled . I came out the house . I sprinted to the forest road . They were still chasing me . A car came out of nowhere and collided with me . I bumped my head slightly . I saw that the person driving the car wasn't the stranger , he was my dad's friend Rowan Edward . I ran towards him .

" Uncle , he .. he .. my dad . " I stammerd .

"Sorry , I am late and I couldn't save your father . Your dad knew it all , so he began to act like he hated you but he didn't . He was just protecting you that's why he always listen to your stepmother . He told me to come here and told everything to me . He sent me all the proof of your stepmother and stepsister's evil act . They will reap ,what they have sown . Officer arrested them .

My husband , My stepsister and My stepmother started pleading " No ,No please don't arest me . Have mercy! " But I didn't showed any mercy. They took them to jail .

Canterbury , Uk
After 7 years ,

Before there death penalty punishment , I divorced him and started living with my uncle . I fulfilled my all unfulfilled dreams and became a famous fashion designer . I dated a person named Zephyr Finn whom I met at beach and later became Amalia finn .

He changed my life completely and helped me to forget everything . Now , I have a son and I named his middle name of my father's name - Erwin Theron Finn . But still, those memories haven't faded from my mind .
