Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

The floor was tiled with celadon. Dolores felt like she was walking on cotton, she felt light and didn’t feel safe. She didn’t know what was waiting for her.

The more she got closer to the truth she was looking for, the more nervous she got.

She didn’t know if this was a good or bad thing.

They walked into a large yard and their footsteps echoed all around.

The echoes bombarded their heart. A woman was standing in front of a long narrow table. Her back was facing them. Her hands were together and she looked like she was praying.

A big red door with engraving was wide open.

Kevin patted Dolores’ shoulder as they reached the door, signaling her to wait by the door. Dolores nodded as she understood what he meant. She stood there and didn’t go forward.

Kevin walked past the tall threshold and walked into the house.

“How dare you come to see me?” The woman sounded slightly angry.

Dolores trembled upon hearing her voice, this woman was indeed Victoria.

Dolores clenched her fists that were on her sides.

Who Victoria exactly was?

Her head was filled with questions and nobody was giving her answers right now.

Kevin stood behind Victoria and looked at the centre. The memorial plates of the Forbis family’s ancestors were placed in a row on the long narrow table.

“I cannot let the craft-manship that has been passed on for generations in the Forbis family to die like that…”

“You’re wrong!” yelled Victoria. She turned around and said, “Did you know that we were the ones who made the promise in the first place…”

She then noticed Dolores standing by the door. She paused.
