[Amara Nicholas]
On the 31st of December, we were preparing for the crossover night celebration. I was in my room brushing my hair strands after having my bath. I donned a long blue sleeping gown and stood by my mirror.
When I heard a knock on my door, I walked up to it and pulled it open. I then saw my mother's maid, Agnes, standing there and smiling at me.
Agnes wore a similar long blue gown; she was light-skinned and of average height like me. I am 24 years old, and I asked her, "What do you want, Agnes?"
Smiling back at me, Agnes replied, "Good evening, Amara. Your father sent for you downstairs to see him before the crossover night begins."
"Why? But we just finished having our dinner now, and I am not interested in the fireworks," I replied.
"I don't know, but your dad is downstairs waiting to see you, and the guests had all gone outside, preparing for the fireworks," Agnes said.
"Hmm. That's fine. Inform my father that I will be with him shortly. I want to use the restroom." I told Agnes, and she nodded and left my corridor.
I sighed and went back to relieve myself. I then went downstairs to the living room of my father's enormous white mansion to see him.
We specifically reside in the countryside. My father is like a chief among others living there. He was into farming and agricultural stuff.
I am like a princess at home. My mother is the center of admiration, and my people love me too, as my parents taught me to be kind and helpful to those around us.
The time passed 11 pm, and I don't know how to feel about the new year's celebration. I am the only child of my parents, I don't lack anything, although I am still single.
My parents were Billionaires, and they weren't pressing for me to get married. Although my dad had rejected some bachelors, including my crush, Charles Wilfred.
My mother assured me that my father had my best interest at heart and wouldn't just discard me away to any random suitor. He wanted the best for me, and so, I am still single and waiting for my daddy's approval.
I took the spiral staircase, alighting it and walking down into the living room.
We live in a standard duplex house surrounded by many trees and gardens.
Although our mansion was fenced, with the ongoing celebration, we had many guests visiting us to celebrate the new year's festivities with us.
Even my dear cousins, aunties, and uncles were similarly around.
I entered the living room not seeing anyone, and Agnes emerged from the kitchen and informed me, "Your parents request to meet them in the office."
"Okay," I said, then went to my father's home office to see him. I suspected that what he wanted to tell me was private, so I made a beeline to my father's office on the lower floor.
I assumed he didn't want our relatives to eavesdrop on our conversation.
Upon arriving at the front door of my father's home office, I knocked and heard my father's respond in a calm voice, "Come inside."
Quietly, I pushed the office door open and walked into the enormous office, which had two guest seats and also a set of four blue couches.
There, my parents sat on a blue couch together, their love blossoming, and my father smiled at me, saying, "Come and sit down, Amara, let's hurry up before the fireworks start. Your mother and I have something important to share with you."
"Okay, Dad," I nervously walked into the office, closing the door behind me. I then sat across from my parents on a similar blue couch.
My mother was wearing a red nightgown, and my dad wore a white garment, smiling and sitting beside my mother.
"Amara, it has come to the point that your mother and I need to inform you about our arrangement," My father said. "We have been keeping it from you all these while, but now it's the right time to inform you about our decision for you to get married."
I gulped, listening to my father speaking, "Well, I am sure that you're familiar with my very good friend, Mr. Joshua Briggs."
Smiling, I replied, "Yes, Dad. I know the man who lives in the city with his family and occasionally visits here."
"Very correct. He's my dear friend, Amara. A business mogul and based with his wife and two children in the city. Now, you are married to his only son, Darlington Briggs, and you will have to go to the city tomorrow to start living with him," my father said.
"What? Daddy, I don't understand you. What do you mean by I am married to your best friend's son? When? How? I cannot remember getting married to any man, or did I have a memory loss or what?" I demanded, not remembering being sick.
"Calm down, Amara," my father said as I stared at the two of them seated on the couch in shock. Like, when did I get married without remembering about it, and yearning to settle down?
My parents smiled, while my father said, "Amara, this was an arrangement I made a long time ago with Mr. Joshua Briggs. You were only a baby then, and we wished for you to marry his only son, Darlington Briggs."
I gulped and continued looking at my father in shock as he said, "You are not fully married to Darlington Briggs, but you will have to live with him to see if you both can be compatible, at least, before finally completing the marriage rite."
"Daddy, I do not understand you. Do you mean, I will visit them and spend some vacation there to see them, or I am already married to the man you're saying is your best friend's son? And engaged in couple's activities with him?" I asked, wanting a better understanding from my father.
"Both. Amara, like I said before, you do not have to misbehave when you get there, you should be a good lady to Darlington Briggs as you're his wife now," My father said. "Mr. Joshua had paid everything in the past to have you become his son's wife and future daughter-in-law. So Darlington Briggs is your husband traditionally by our custom, while you're his wife. Also, Darlington may not be aware, the reason why you haven't seen him here, nor did either of you had to celebrate your wedding engagement in a grand style, but you're a married woman, and it's time for you to go to the city to be with your husband."
"What?? Daddy, I cannot marry a city-based man. I do not want to reside in the urban area, Mom?" I looked at my mother sadly, wanting her opinion regarding this shocking detail. My mother sighed and said, "Amara, calm down. It is for your good."
"How, Mom? I don't wish to go to the city to live with a man there, who I'm not familiar with. Daddy, I do not like the bustling lives of city people. I want to remain here, where there are no noise and the wild lifestyle," I pleaded, wanting my father to change his mind about all these sudden ridiculous arrangements.
"Amara, I can understand your complaint, but you have to get married, and I trust Mr. Joshua's son to take care of you. So, you will have to visit them in the city for the marriage continuation," my father said.

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage?
