I returned and walked in on Riyas's heated conversation on the phone and I guess it's her boyfriend, David. 
Our eyes meet.
"What?" Riya says in a pissed
I left to avoid getting her aggravated mood past on me.
The following morning, I slept like a baby, not until Riya decided to get everyone up and run out to her, at the living room.
"Riya, what is it?"
Elena asked
Riya turns and the reason why she shouted was that the entire mansion was decorated.
Urgh! What a drama queen.
"Mom, why is everywhere decorated?" She asked
" What do you mean why? Did you forget that you getting engaged with David, this evening?".
Elena replied.
She puts on the next drama.
However it made no difference to Elena, both knew how to be overly dramatic.
Riya was like, she doesn't want to get married, Elena gets upset and shattered a glass placed on the table.
Sorry, just kidding.
But on a serious note, Riya wasn't pleased by her mom's decision to get married.
If Riya doesn't want to get married, why then does she act like the perfect girlfriend and wife to be.
Elena makes her decision final, she left a sad Riya and returned to her room.
Everyone else did, leaving just the two of us.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
Riya rushed and hugged me.
She snobs softly.
"It's okay don't cry anymore!" I said being a gentleman.
However, the demon in her plunges out and she pushed me away.
"How dare you touch me, huh!"
She yelled.
Urgh, seriously, it was either she's crazy or most likely to be possessed by an evil spirit.
"Oh don't make me laugh Riya! I do not get pleasure touching you, and if I want to touch anyone, it would never be an angry, resentful woman like you".   I asserted out her crazy attitude.
She gasps out surprised.
" A resentful like me? You don't know what I have through okay or what I am about to pass through right now, so Mr. Baltimore doesn't come here and tell me this rubbish okay because you don't know me".
She tells. Riya's eyes teared up.
it felt like she was trying to send a piece of coded information, or trying to transfer her aggression on me.
An hour passed, I still couldn't stop feeling guilty for saying such words to her, I know I might be rude, hot-tempered sometimes but I haven't been rude to a girl before, it's just that Riya just has a way of bringing the demon in me,  to sum up, everything, she's annoying as hell, wonder how David keeps up with her.
The next morning, I woke up and the preparation of Riya's' engagement had begun.
Speak of the devil, she hissed the moment she took a glance at me.
Drama queen!.
Elena was pleased about the whole celebration, whereas the lady who is supposed to be her daughter wasn't, Riya for some reason tried earlier to back down from the alliance.
(8:00 pm)
The subsequent day, precisely eight in the evening, the whole mansion was filled with lots of guests who came in and out with gifts.
I watched by the side and saw the whole family smile and welcome everyone in, in the eyes of society, they were one happy family but behind, all danced in shadows.
A call came through my phone,  I rushed upstairs to answer it, on my way to my bedroom, I walked past Riya's room and caught her crying alone, I know it wasn't my business, I just cannot stand seeing her in tears, and before you think anything, no! I am in no way falling in love with her.
Riya? Are you okay?".
I stepped in
Immediately she tried to stop the tears from falling.
"What are doing here, why can't you leave me alone?". She says turning her back at me.
Urgh! Riya has a way of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, I still don't understand, how her brain works, evidently if we use the right side of our brain to think, Riya uses her left, because she can't possibly say something good.
The call comes in again.
And as much as I'll love to cheer Riya up, it's important I answer.
I walked past and stumbled on a conversation that was meant to be a secret.
David was talking to a lady, in a dark corner.
"Please don't tell me that, you do know why I am marrying Riya, and pretending all day acting stupid".
David says, aggravated.
Their conversations were golden and might be the only way to stop Riya's wedding.
I picked up my hand and recorded everything.
I tried to go a little further, but a vase falls on the ground, gaining David's attention.
"Who is it?" He says moving in my direction.
I moved back and left before he gets me found out.
Afterward, Riya walked downstairs wearing a royal blue gown and a crown on her head, she looked like a princess going to meet her prince but in this case, her prince was two-faced.
Elena walked beside her and brought her to her soon-to-be husband.
The rings were sent out and given to them, with a frown, she pushed a hurtful Riya, who veered and slowly placed  the ring on David's fingers
I had two options, it was either I get Riya to get engaged to a man like David or stop this alliance. However  Riya the job done by tossing the ring to the floor.
"I am sorry ma! I am not going to get engaged to David".
She announced.
Everyone at the party went quiet.
I know Elena won't just quietly listen to her without doing anything.
In a fit of rage, she raised her hand to whack her, I came out and held her.
