Loveless

Chapter 8

Celia's POV

I can't believe that my father forced me into an arranged marriage! I don't want to marry someone I don't love! I remember what father said to me.

Flashback

"Father, why did you put me in an arranged marriage?" I asked.

"You need someone to love in your life, and your fiancé is also rich. I'm you don't love him, then divorce him after a year."

"Is that it? You're just doing this so you can inherit some of the money?" I tried to sound as nice as I could.

"Well of course! What other reason would I have to do thi-, I mean of course not darling! It's all for you."

"Goodbye father." I said in an irritated voice.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

"You're going to meet him tomorrow."

That's it! I couldn't talk to him anymore! I could've sworn I heard him laughing when I hung up the phone.

End Flashback

All he wanted was money! He didn't care about my happiness at all! What kind of parent is he?!

"Celia! He's here!" Vesta said.

"Okay!" When I got downstairs, I saw a man in a very expensive looking suit. He was looking around the room in disgust. Vesta started talking.

"I'll be going with Marlin to Mineral Town for a while Celia." She turned to look at the man. "So please make yourself at home. I'm off now!" Then she left. Next, I heard a 'hmph'.

"Why hello. I'm Celia." I said, trying to be very polite. I think I even did a courtesy.

"Don't talk to me you country wench! Never speak before I do!" He screamed.

I already hated him. He was so rude, and father wanted me to divorce him after a year!?

"Oh, I am very sorry." I bowed. I hated bowing down to the likes of him!

"If you're going to live with me, you'll call me Lord Victor."

So his name was Victor. What made him so arrogant?

"Yes, Vic--, Lord Victor." I said.

"How dare you make a mistake in my presence!" He raised his hand like he was about to hit me.

"No, better not hit you now. You might tell that big man who just left." He said.

Was he talking about Vesta? I just noticed that neither Vesta nor Marlin were here. So I was all alone…..with this guy.

I couldn't hold it back anymore. The next thing you heard was

SLAP

I couldn't believe it! I slapped him!

"You little bitch!" He spat out the last word.

He grabbed my wrist and swung me into a corner. Then he started walking towards me slowly.

"How dare you hit me! I'll teach you a lesson you wench!" Then he slapped me. He was about to hurt me even worse until a voice interrupted him.

"What the hell are you doing!?" It was Jack! What was he doing here?

He ran over to Victor and punched him straight in the jaw. That caused Victor to stumble back. There was blood coming out of his mouth.

"Don't you dare touch her again! Or you'll get more where that came from!" Jack was seriously mad. His eyes were red and he had this frightening expression on his face. I bet Victor was so afraid.

"Hmph. I can fight you know; I just didn't want use all of my strength." Victor said while wiping his mouth.

"Yeah right." Jack simply said.

"But if that wench over there ever touches me again, let's just say…. very bad things will happen." Victor looked over in my direction and had this evil smile on his face.

"Like that will happen." Jack said.

"Hmph. Whatever. Oh, and wench?" He looked at me. "You better not behave like that when you're living with me. If you do, I'll straighten you up like I just did." And with that, he left out the door.

"What did he mean by 'living with him'? Don't tell me you're going to live with that guy!" Jack said.

"He's my…..fiancé."

"What! When did you get engaged? I would be happy for you, but in this case I can't, because--," Jack just kept ranting and ranting.

"Jack?"

"He such an idiot!"

"Jack?"

"I really hate that guy!"

"JACK!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

"Huh? What is it?"

"Why are you here?"

He appeared to be thinking over something.

"I guess I came because," he looked like he was thinking again. "because I had a feeling that something was wrong. That's the reason!"

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. Oh! Are you okay Celia? Did he hurt you?" He asked. (A/N: you just now ask this question?)

"Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for worrying!"

"Why did you get engaged to that guy anyway?" He said in a low voice.

"It's an arranged marriage. My father arranged it."

"Why'd he do that?"

"Because that guy is rich and my father wants to inherit some of the money."

"Another rich guy huh." Jack said.

"Yeah. I really don't want to marry that Victor guy." I said.

"Wait. Did you just say Victor?"

"Uh, yeah. That's his name."

Jack got this really weird expression on his face and said in a very quiet voice

"Victor."

Jack's POV

I was at my farm watering my plants thinking about the last few days.

'I really had a lot of interaction with Celia haven't I?'

'Yeah, cause you're supposed to be together.'

'Not this again…'

'Don't give me that crap! Just admit you like her!'

'I will not, because I don't like her like that.'

'Why don't we go see her then? I have a strange feeling anyway.'

'Yeah, I feel something strange too.'

So, I decided to go to Vesta's farm. For some reason, I felt like something terrible was happening. I ran there just in case something was happening. When I got to the door, I heard

"How dare you hit me! I'll teach you a lesson you wench!" That was a man's voice.

'Who was he talking to? Was that Marlin talking to Celia or something?'

But my thoughts got interrupted with the sound of a slap.

'I'm heading in there!'

When I opened the door, I saw a very horrible scene indeed. Celia was standing in a corner with a red cheek and some man was in front of her. It looked like he was about to hit her again. I couldn't stand this scene that was before me. I felt my anger rising.

"What the hell are you doing?" I yelled to the man.

I ran over to him and punched him straight in the jaw. He stumbled back and his mouth started bleeding.

"Don't you dare touch her again! Or you'll get more where that came from!" I said. I couldn't hold in my anger.

"Hmph. I can fight you know; I just didn't want to use all of my strength." He wiped his mouth off.

That was a bunch of bull. He 'didn't want to use all his strength'?

"Yeah right." I said.

"But if that wench over there ever touches me again, let's just say…. very bad things will happen." He looked at Celia with an evil smile on his face.

'Wench? Celia was not a wench! Who is this guy? He really pisses me off.'

"Like that will happen." I said.

"Hmph. Whatever. Oh, and wench?" He looked at Celia. "You better not behave like that when you're living with me. If you do, I'll straighten you up like I just did." And with that, he left out the door.

"What did he mean by 'living with him'? Don't tell me you're to live with that guy!" Celia was going to live with him? I can't believe it!

Celia was hesitating to say something.

"He's my…..fiancé." Fiancé? Okay, what's happening here?

"What! When did you get engaged? I would be happy for you, but in this case I can't, because he's an abuser!" I couldn't control myself, this was just a shock to me.

"He's such an idiot!" I kept going on and on. I didn't notice anything around me.

"I really hate that guy!"

"JACK!"

Why did she yell at me? She had no reason to do that, I was right here.

"Huh? What is it?"

"Why are you here?" She asked.

'Yeah, why did I come?'

'Because you wanted to help her.'

"I guess I came because,"

'How did I know she was in trouble though?'

'I don't know. We just…. felt like something was wrong.'

'Yeah! That's right!'

"because I had a feeling that something was wrong. That's the reason!" I said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah. Oh! Are you okay Celia? Did he hurt you?"

"Yeah I'm okay. Thanks for worrying!" She said with a smile.

"Why'd you get engaged to that guy anyway?" I was curious as to why someone like Celia would want to marry someone like that.

"It's an arranged marriage. My father arranged it." She seemed bitter.

Why would her father do something that terrible!?

"Why'd he do that?" I asked.

"Because that guy is rich and he wants to inherit some of the money." She said in an angry tone.

What kind of parent was he? Sending your daughter off to some bastard for money? That's just heartless!

"Another rich guy huh." Was all I could say.

"Yeah. I really don't want to marry that Victor guy." She said.

Wait. What did she just say?

"Wait. Did you just say Victor?"

"Uh, yeah. That's his name." She said in a matter-of-fact tone.

What! His name is Victor? All I could say was

"Victor."

Could it be?
