"ah, Maria dear! Do come in!" my uncle says. "this is Jesse…"
I don't allow him to finish.
"I know who he is. And you better get the hell out of here!" I point to Jesse. I was told that the agreement was off.
"whoa. Calm down Maria. I am here because of the agreement. You are supposed to marry me tomorrow." He says calmly.
"well I am afraid the agreement is off. My father is dead, and you are leaving!" he can't do this to me, not today.
"well, Maria, I see no reason for it to be off. I have already made the arrangements and..." my uncle tries to get out.
"Robin proposed to me." I say it quickly, and don't even bother to hesitate. There is a split second of confusion on my uncle's face, and then realization, then anger. "I have already said yes."
"Well, too bad. Jesse is now your new husband to be. I won't allow you and robin, and I will never!"
I look to my uncle, then to Jesse. "I would like to see you try and marry me!"
"Listen hear Maria," he says. "I am a very powerful man, and your father promised you to me. I have men that will do my will! And let me just say, we wouldn't want Robin to take a slip off a peek now would we?"
I stare at him. He is threatening my loves life. But what really surprises me is that uncle is okay with it. Something is terribly wrong. I decide to do something unforgivable… "Fine... Don't expect me to like it though".
"Lock her up!" my uncle says, and to men come to take me to my room.
Something is wrong, and I will find out what.
Sorry about the wait guys. Had school and empire state youth orchestra. Promise to keep them coming! I didn't realize how many people liked my writing. Thanks a bunch!
