Mia's POV

I am currently at the dance studio in my school practicing for my dance competition with Ash. Both of us are doing a duet. But at the same time I am also doing a solo performance which is exciting yet tiring. We have been practicing for almost 2 hours. We took a break as Ash and I sat down. /"Gosh this is so tiring./"

Ash groaned while I laughed knowing how much of a complain queen he is. /"You are such a complain queen./" I said as he stuck his tongue. As he saw the time, /"Shit. I gotta go Mia. My mum wanted me to come home early./" He said as he start to pack. I bid him goodbye as he left.

I went back to train for my solo dance. After another 1 and half hour, I decided to head home.

I realized my phone was dead. I shrugged it off. As I was walking down the street, it suddenly start to rain.

If it was anyone else they would have run off. But I love the rain. I started to skip and hum random tunes while getting wet in the rain. When I reached our house gate, I realised there were 2 new cars outside.

Being confused I reached our porch as I knocked on the door. After some time my mum opened the door with a huge grin on her face. But when she saw me, she sighed in irritation, while I grinned cheekily at her. She hated when I play in the rain. She shook her head as she guide me in.

/"How many times should I tell you not to play in the rain?/" She scolded me as we walked inside. /"Mum whose car is outside?/" I asked in confusion. When I asked this she started to smile widely again.

She guided me inside. As we reached inside I got shocked. Actually shocked will be an understatement. /"Mia I would like you to meet Mr Mariano and his son./" My mum introduced. It was the guy from the café.

The fear for this man came back. I was just standing there frozen. What was he doing in here? Just then my father talked. /"Sweetheart how about you get changed and come back down? We will explain to you everything./" My dad said.

I just nod my head and scurried off. As I reached my room, I locked my room, as I quickly dried myself and changed into a sweatpants and hoodie considering I was shivering.

As I changed finish a thought came to my mind. /"I could be you worst nightmare./" the words he said came into my mind. With that I slowly made my way down. As I took my last step, /"There you are. Come and sit down. /" My dad told me. I went and sit beside my dad. My mum and sister were opposite us while the scary man and his father whom I'm assuming, is sitting at the couch between us.

/"Sweetheart, I know you are wondering what's going on in here. Well you see, Mr Mariano and I have been friends and business partners for quite some time. Hence we want to enhance our business. Therefore, we have thought of a marriage proposal. Olivia will marry Damien, the gentleman right there./" He said finish as he pointed at the scary man.

As I process through everything, I was having a headache. So I just nodded my head unable for use my words. As I looked up, I saw the scary man staring at me, the same way he was staring at me back at the cafe. Not able to handle his stare, I said to my dad that I was tired and going to skip dinner and head on to sleep first. As I bid both the man goodbye.

The scary man, Damien, was kept staring at me. He was literally burning holes at me. As soon I bid my goodbye, I rushed out to my room. Once I entered my room I locked my room. I lay down in my bed thinking about everything.

The man that I am so terrified of, is going to marry my sister. Wow fate has a funny way of playing with me. I just wish I can avoid him. I am not kidding when I say he terrifies me.

My plan is to avoid him as much as possible. Yap. That's my plan. I heard the front door shutting. Which means that the Mariano's should have left. I heard footsteps coming up. Just then my room door was being knocked. Olivia shouted from the other side stating she was not feeling well.

I got up from my seat as I went and open my door. She pushed me inside as she started to squeal that I had to close my ears. /"OMG. I can's believe that I am going to marry Damien Mariano. Gosh he is hot!/" she all but yelled. I just stand there staring at her.

Wow she really is excited. It looks like she already knows him. /"You already know him?/" I asked as I went back to my bed to lay. /"Of course I know him. Everyone knows him. He is the top successful bachelor businessman. Wait you don't know him?/" she asked as she sat at my bed.

I just shook my head embarrassed. Gosh I really need to start reading the news. Olivia just sat there shocked. /"How could you not know him?/" she asked bewildered. I just shrugged. She let out a sigh. /"Anyway, I am so happy that I am getting married to him./" she said. When she said that, I saw a glint in her eyes. /"I am very happy that you are happy, Olivia. Its really good to see you happy even though he is scary./" I said sincerely. /"Thank you Mia./" she said softly. My sister and me are quite close.

We talk for quite some time, and soon she was gone to sleep. As she went to sleep, I went to my laptop and typed in 'Damien Mariano' and waited for the result. What I saw made my eyes bulge. He really is the top businessman. Its is also said that he is a ruthless man. Its said he had took down many companies. Wow. That is so much of information.

I am sure as hell staying away from him. With that thought I went to sleep.
