Imma's pov;
I was already in my usual home clothes, Just watching an interesting series on Netflix. Then I heard a knock on my door, uncle C entered and he joined me sitting on the bed.
"What are you watching?" He asked.
"Purple hearts." I answered after pausing the movie.
He then sighed. " Are you alright sweetheart?" He asked then pushed some strand of hair off my face.
" Yes, I'm fine." I answered. " Things are going to be better now Uncle C." I added.
" But I never thought you would ever be the solution,I never even pictured it_ I'm so_ " He said but I cut him.
" It's fine,all I know is that he wouldn't hurt me,you shouldn't get stressed." I said.
" But what do you really want sweetie?" He asked.
I sighed then looked away from him and stared at the mirror before us. " I want to go to college, I just wanna be in med school_ I want to be a surgeon just like mom and dad." I told him and I started to feel emotional.
He then patted my back to comfort me. " And now I'll have to forget those dreams because they'll never come true." I concluded, then laid on his lap and he started strocking my hair.
" It's going to be fine,I'll make sure to help you go to med school." He said then bent to kiss my temple.
He then got a call, he said it was from work and told me had to pick it,so he left. I remembered I didn't tell Jennie about the marriage. I quickly took my phone from the the desk near my bed and texted her.
Instead of texting back, she video called me.
" What?! Tell me you're joking." she said when I pressed receive.
" I'm dead serious Jennie." I said having a serious expression on my face.
"Whoa, so what's gonna happen _ you know what, don't answer that,I'm on my way." She said. I just nodded and she hunged up.
Not for so long, she got inside my room,she is the only person who doesn't know the meaning of knocking when it comes to me.
She had a bag on her back. She closed the door,threw the bag on the floor and jumped on the bed, setting herself to hear the whole story. So I told her everything,even how I didn't utter a word to Damian.
"This is crazy_ is Damian even serious?" She asked rhetorically. " When's the wedding? " She asked.
"Tomorrow." I said calmly even though my heart pounded really hard in my ribcage.
"Whoa_ are you even ready?" She asked. "I mean do you even have the gown,the reception..." She added.
" He said he will take care of everything,we just had to do what we do best, look good." I said.
" Oh by the way I'm staying over." She said then took her bag into my closet.

Later after we had dinner,we went back to my room. Each of us dressed in to our sleeping attires. I just came from the bathroom from brushing my teeth, Jennie was texting someone but I couldn't see who it was.
Some how I felt unease, then I had this crazy idea. " Jennie we have to go somewhere."
I then opened my closet and chose a black mini dress and white chanel stilleto to match.
" Do I have to go?" She asked then stared at me wondering what is wrong with me.
"We're going to The Miller's Empire." I said as I had already zipped up my dress and was now wearing my shoes.
She suddenly got up,and chose the blue dress I told her to choose and she wored with a pair of black heels, we did a bit of make up. We grabbed our coats and phones ,and I took the car keys and we left.
***
We finally arrived and as always there was a party. I gave out my keys to the security and we got in. Jennie started walking towards the bar tender,but I pulled her.
" We didn't come here to drink." I told her.
" Huh!" Then why are we here Imma?" She asked
" I want to see Damian,I need to talk to him before we get married." I said.
" How are you going to find him,you don't even know the way to his office." She said reminding me.
" I'll look for any of his bodyguards, they'll tell me." I said confidently.
" If you're trying to sneak around especially at a crowded place,just blend in." She said then pulled me towards where so many people were dancing.
She was right, I didn't have to look suspicious, so I followed her and we danced. For a moment I even forgot that I was stressed out. I just let the vibe carry me and let my body sway the way it felt like. Still in the moment,I saw Jaden he came from the lift, I told Jennie and we headed towards him.
"Hey, Jaden." I greeted.
" Hey Ms Imma and Ms Jennie." He responded. " What can I do for you." He asked.
" I'm looking for Mr. Miller, where is he?" I asked.
" Oh I'll take you." He offered then we followed him into the lift.
We finally reached to the 12th floor and he showed us the office.
I stood before the door, feeling anxious.
"Hey, you got this Imma." She told me.
"Jaden take care of her for me." I said. He just nodded and they left after I promised to text her when I'm done.
I finally knocked and got in after the permission. When I stepped in, gosh I couldn't believe the sight before me,why does he have to be so devilishly handsome?
His three upper buttons of his shirt were open,and his black shirt fitted perfectly on his mascular chest and the biceps to. I could see his neck line and his huge Adams apple as he was speaking on the telephone. His hands were huge and veiny,I mean this guy is twice my size. And then his eyes,those cold grey eyes...his voice deep, I can't even imagine him shouting. His black silky smooth hair as some fell on his face making him look dangerously hot. [ Gosh Imma why are you admiring him,it's fucking weird] I told myself.
He hunged up and never took his eyes off me.
" What can I do for you Imma?" He asked giving me shivers.
Clearly I hated this feeling. I just cleared my throat.
