Hold The Horses, Daddy

Alyssa Collins's pov

I pretended to take a shower by turning on the water and standing there. My head was spinning as the warm water from the shower steamed up the bathroom. I reached for the phone, nervously wondering why Asdin Capell hadn't called yet. Sweat was pouring down my forehead.

Wayne Capell, heir to the Capell fortune, had been a vegetative in the past three years due to an unexpected accident and would be still so for the next hour and a half, but we would still be married.

This marriage was arranged by my amazing stepmother, Aubrey Collins. My sick father racked up massive medical bills, and my family was on the point of bankruptcy when Beatrice informed me I was our last chance.

I couldn't just sit and wait.

My eyes flashed a glimmer of hope. Being in the presence of Asdin Capell's car was like being in a movie plot.

"Now that you've arrived, Asdin Capell, my prince, I would never ever set foot in this wretched metropolis again. We're going to pack up and go to the middle of nowhere and live out our days in peace and quiet. "

When I went to unlock the rear door, something stopped me.

My stepsister Arlene Collins's upbeat laughter carried to me through the glass.

An open window serves as a screen, allowing me to remain unseen for the time being.

"Perhaps my innocent sibling is still holding out hope that you will come see her. If you go calm her down a little, it could be for the best. In the event that
