I've actually been in the kind of situation where a GM forced a plot on us. In my case, my character was prophesied that the person she married would become the Herald of Pelor... and the villain we were trying to stop was a succubus sorcerer who was prophesied to gain great power if she married a holy-powered follower of Pelor. The GM's idea was that my character would marry this NPC queen who worshiped Pelor he kept forcing upon us, use the power gained from her buffing us, and defeat the succubus.
The GM didn't expect my character to resolve the issue at level 5 by proposing to the succubus.
Ultimately, it's better to just have multiple stories prepared. Prepare a few ahead of time, break one out if the one you want doesn't go through. Otherwise, you get weird things like a succubus ending up the Herald of Pelor just because the paladin's player proposed to her out of spite.
