Madison smiled as she dreamt of herself and Dave getting married.But suddenly, Jason showed up at the wedding and killed Dave.

She sat up vehemently. Her sweet dream just turned sour, she thought as she wiped the sweat off her brows.

"Does Jason have to spoil everything?" she muttered to herself.

She yawned and looked around her beautifully decorated pink room. She loved everything she saw, especially the pink colors. The curtains were pink, the rugs were pink and also the paint on the walls and the designs on them.

She stood up and separated the two curtains at the bedside which revealed the windows. The sun penetrated into the room immediately. She looked out of the window and smiled.

"It's morning already," she said.

She loved this view and she has missed it so much. The green grasses at the yard, the chirping of the beds, and sound of water from the beautiful water fountain behind.

She heaved a sigh and turned to her room. She could hear voices in the house already. She was about to go out when she saw a picture on the wall close to the door. She walked towards it and was baffled at what she saw.

In front of her was a picture of her and Jason while they were in college. That picture was taken at a prom they attended back then. She was about to go down memory lane when the door opened and Mrs Thompson walked in, dressed in a flowered nightie.

"Mom" Madison called uneasily

"O baby You're awake. How was your night?" Her mom asked

"It was fine, '' Madison said, trying to look away from the picture so her mom wouldn't notice.

"Hey you just saw that? Her mom asked, pointing to the picture on the wall.

"Who put it there mom?" Madison asked

"It was Jenny. She stumbled on it while preparing the room for your arrival. I can't believe you kept this picture till date baby" Her mom said, smiling at her

"Oh no mother, I didn't keep that picture. I only wanted..um.. forget it!" Madison said angrily as she dragged the picture off the wall.

"I hope he hasn't seen it?" She asked.

"Not yet baby" her mom said, smiling

"Did you guys even have to put it here for me to see?" She asked angrily

"Yeah, to remind you of the good times" her mom said

"There were no good times mother!!" Madison snapped.

"Anyways, you are getting married to him" her mom said

"Mother!!!!!!" Madison yelled, with her face turning red.

"He's coming to take you out so get prepared for tonight. Alex will come and get you dressed, ok baby? Breakfast is ready too, come quickly before it gets cold" Mrs Thomson said smiling, as she walked out of the room.

Madison couldn't utter a word. "Coming to take me out? He must be mad for even thinking about that," she said to herself as she walked back to her bed to sit down.

She looked at the picture in her hand. She wanted to tear it to pieces when the door opened showing Jenny. She quickly hid the picture under her pillow

"Good morning sis, dad requests for your presence" Jenny said

"Ok, I'm coming right away,'' she said and stood up at once.

Jason sipped his wine for the third time as he looked into space and wondered how life could be so unfair at times. He was standing at the balcony of his house wearing a white tank top and a black denim jean.

He couldn't believe what his parents were trying to make him do. He thought it was all a joke not until they pressured him to take Madison out tonight which in his wildest dream isn't going to happen.

He has never disobeyed his parents before and they have never demanded anything so big from him apart from him to be great and successful. Yes, he was successful today because of them. Despite him being a dullard at high school, they never gave up on him. They made sure he pursued his dreams of becoming a fashion designer and now he's one of the best in the whole country.

They were the best of parents to him. And now they are demanding of him to do something beyond his reach. He scratched his head as he thought about everything.

Just then, he felt a hand around his waist and a body pressing against him from behind.

"Baby, " he heard her call canorously.

He turned to face her and he kissed her deeply. He couldn't stop admiring the curvaceous creature standing in front of him. She was wearing a white transparent nightie which shows her undies underneath.

"You're so sweet," Jason whispered to her ears.

"You too baby," Emilia responded, resting her head on his chest. He wrapped his hands around her.

"I can't believe you're gonna take someone else out tonight" she said sadly. Jason kept silent and heaved a sigh.

"I don't know what to do baby, I'm so confused at the moment" he said sadly

"Why can't you disobey them for once baby! You don't owe them anything! " she flared, with her Bright eyes burning in anger.

"I do baby, I owe them a lot, '' he said and she kept mute.

"Well then, do what you like,'' she said angrily and walked away.

"Damn!" Jason cursed under his breath.

That night at the Thompson's mansion, Madison looked at the mirror disgustingly. She couldn't believe she was going out with someone else other than Dave. Her parents had talked her over into agreeing to go out with Jason tonight.

She wore a black short gown that goes down after her knees. Her hair was wrapped in a ponytail, and she decided not to apply any makeup on her face.

As she looked at the mirror again, She smiled knowing she wasn't looking anywhere close to a beauty that night. She knows how much Jason loves to move with the beautiful girls and she wasn't going to let that happen tonight.

The door opened showing Mrs Thomson and Alex holding a shopping bag.

"Baby come on, you are not even ready yet " Alex said as she walked into the room

"I'm done," Madison said, wearing her glasses.

"What?!!!" Mrs Thompson and Alex exclaimed in unison.

"What?" Madison asked as she searched for her bag in the wardrobe.

"No way, you can't go like this. See? We bought you a dress" Mrs Thompson said as Alex brought out a red velvet gown from the shopping bag she was holding.

Madison looked at them both and ignored them.

"Baby come on, you need to look good" Alex coerced, walking towards her.

"For who?" Madison asked

"For him of course," Mrs Thompson chipped in

"Ok at least let's see how the dress looks on you" Alex pressured.

Madison smiled. She took off the black gown she was wearing and wore the red dress.

"This thing is damn too skimpy!!" She exclaimed

Her mom smiled.

"Yeah, cause Jason likes it this way" she said

"No way mother!! I can't wear this kind of dress to please a man!!" Madison flared.

"But he's not just any man, he's the man you're getting married to" Alex cut in

"Hell no!!" Madison fumed as she took off the dress.

"That thing you're gonna wear is too shabby, it makes you look like an office girl and you need some makeup too!!" Her mom complained

"No mother, I like it this way," she said smiling

"You see, that's why he complains that you're too reserved and you have zero fashion taste!!" Her mom blurted

"What?!!" Madison yelled. "He said that?" she asked, looking at them both. Mrs Thompson looked at Alex who shook her head at once.

"No!" They both chorused

"Ok, I see. That scum has been gossiping behind me. This is so crazy mom, how could you watch him say such things about your daughter and you still want him to get married to me. That's so unfair mother!! Dave would never say such things to me!" She yelled

"No baby, he didn't say such. I was only mistaken..!!" Mrs Thompson said, trying to hold her. But she shoved her hands off her.

Jason hummed to the song he was playing in his car as he drove into the Thompsons' mansion. He was dressed in a white long sleeve dress which he rolled up it's sleeves and black chinos pants to match. His beards were well trimmed and his hair neatly cut. He likes to look good whenever he goes out for the sake of his reputation.

He drove inside the yard and parked in front of the Thompsons building.

It was dark already. He came out from the car and walked slowly to the door.His heart skipped a bit as he knocked on the door. After about ten seconds of waiting, the door opened showing Jerry.

"Hey boy," Jason said smiling.

"You're looking good big bro" Jerry remarked with a smile

"Come in," he ushered

Jason walked into the house smiling, as he saw Jenny running towards him.

"You look so big now, I can't play with you," he teased and she punched him on the shoulder. He laughed and pinched her neck.

"Hey don't stain his dress. Madison's gonna kill you," Jerry joked. Jason's facial expression changed on hearing the name "Madison". He quickly remembered that he was here to take her out. His heart skipped again. "Where is dad?" he asked Jenny

"He went to the club," she replied at once.

Mrs Thompson rushed down the stairs to meet Jason. "Hey son," she said, smiling

"Hey mother how are you doing?" He asked with a smile

"I'm fine. Don't worry, she's coming out already,'' Mrs Thompson said. Jason nodded without a reply.

He knew her to be the punctual type. So why this late today? He asked himself.

Not long after, he saw her walk down the stairs, dressed in a black gown and short black heels.

She wore no smile as she adjusted her glasses and walked down the stairs slowly.

Jason looked away from her direction and placed his gaze on the floor with his heart skipping fast.

She came down the stairs and walked towards him.

"Shall we?" She asked like one prepared for war.
