The Plan


Before i get on with the story,i would like everyone to know that i am not a pro and so i cannot get everything right-because it is the first time i have written anything.I would like everyone to enjoy it and accept a few mistakes here and there,oh and please feel free to comment because i need all the advise i can get.Oh and you can be my follower if you want but you have to make an account.


2.THE PLAN


"Cassandra i would like to introduce you to my lawyer Carson Grey",the name rang a bell in my head.Where have i seen this person?
"You know well that it is not polite to stare! Apologize at once young lady!".
"I apologize, i didn't mean to offend you-its just that i have seen you somewhere before".
"I bet you would",the young man said.
"I am Cassandra,15 years of age-and you?"
"Please to meet you Cassandra,its been a while-have you forgotten me?
"I don't quite recall,but you do seem familiar in a way".
"Aww.......come on we used to play together in the garden when we were kids".
"Oh,now i remember-i used to call you caen when i was little".
"Finally,now stop acting like a stranger and sit next to me",is what he said and i thought it was ok and so i did sit next to him.

His perfume was breath-taking but i wondered how had he become a lawyer at the age of 19?He was only 4 years older to me and yet he was practicing as a lawyer,unlike myself.It was silent for a moment.........then i had noticed father was gone and he had left me all alone with this person who claimed to be my childhood friend.The silence was broken when he started talking.

"So...how have you been?"
"Good,and you?"
"Well there were times when i wanted to come home but-yeah i am fine".
"Where have you been all these years?"
"I went to study law while traveling around Europe, what have you been doing?"
"I am being forced to study history and become the first historian at the age of 15!"
"Whoa.........that's quite a lot of pressure,for a pretty little lady like you".
"You do know that flattery will get you no where"
"I expect you know why i am here-right?"
"I don't have a single clue"
"Cassandra,he is here because when you were small- both the Grey's and Vacent's made an agreement.Which is that you are to be married to him at the age of 18 and inherit the Vacent fortune".

I froze,unable to speak and the person beside me was not as shocked as i was.I new that this was going to happen to me someday,a prince in shining amour coming to take his princess away and live happily ever after.Unfortunately i was not interested in such fantasies and i don't want to be a historian-i want to be a famous writer!Not get married to this flashy snob and have kids who will have the same fate as mine!I breathed deeper and said"I refuse to marry someone who only cares about my money and i have no intention to be a house wife at such an early age!".

Bewildered by my answer my father collapsed,stunned as i was the person next to me ran to him and asked someone to call the doctor immediately.
