Aria looked at the mirror in front of her and she didn't know whether she should smile happily or sadly when she saw herself.The stylists and make-up artists had just finished polishing her and left her in front of this large mirror to see their final work.Aria could barely recognize herself. The soft makeup that polishes her face is not too thick and looks very natural and flawless. The scars on her forehead and the wound on her cheeks were completely covered.Not only that, it was her dress that impressed her the most. This dress was almost exactly the same as the one she had drawn in her little book. It's a beautiful A-line dress. With beautiful embroidery from diamonds, embedded neatly and with great care. Aria looked at it carefully and realized that all her favorite beautiful flowers were there.She turned slightly left and right. This dress really made her feel like a princess. The sparkling light of the diamonds in the embroidery makes it look even more beautiful and charmin
Aria held back her tears. They are liars. They never considered her as a family."I don't know, I just used what was given to me." She answered. She hoped they would be satisfied with her answer and leave from here quickly. However, it turned out that this only piqued Jasmine's curiosity."Impossible! Look at all this." Jasmine pointed around her, she whined at her mother who was also amazed at the flower-filled decorations in the bridal room.“Mom! There's no way Dad would want to spend a lot of money on this bum?!" Jasmine didn't even bother to lower her voice.Meanwhile, Susan Wellbert gulped as she became nervous. She glared at Jasmine. There was another person here and it was clear that this young woman was Mr. Grissham’s subordinate. They must not speak carelessly. They also have to maintain their image as the mayor's family who are loving and gentle."And who are you?" Jasmine lifted her chin when she saw Zia."I am Miss Aria's assistant, Zia." She answered shortly."You are he
The expression on Alexander's face didn't change even though he really wanted to pinch her adorable cheeks. He could see behind her transparent veil. Her face was so sad and resigned to everything that happened around her right now.But when she heard his voice, Alex could see her sparkling eyes. Of course, she looked confused, in disbelief, her lips parted but she didn't say anything more.“Hm.” He nodded to her.Oh, how he knew, she must have lots of questions that of course he was willing to answer.But not now, they will have plenty of time later.How Alex actually blew the trumpet of victory in his mind. He had been thinking hard for the past few weeks, trying to trap the little rabbit in front of him, but it turned out that the trap had been prepared by fate itself.That day, when Kiel told him such a ridiculous question on how to kill him, he realized that Aria was the person he was going to marry. He immediately read all the files that Kiel gave him. And he had to admit that a
Aria did not expect that this building would be filled with so many people. She thought, even no one would attend this business wedding. Her expectation was, that she came to say vows with the man that supposed to be her husband and be done. The wedding was only a formality of their agreement, and then she could go home, and then they could mind their own business.But the reality was beyond her expectations. The people, this building, and her husband…As now she was more aware of her surroundings, she could see that this building was spacious and magnificent, the ceilings were high and most of the walls were made of glass that curved outwards. Some pillars form like ribs from the bottom to the roof. She felt like she was in a capsized, transparent, giant ship. It’s beautiful. The rustic decoration also caught her eye. So many flowers, she felt like they were in the Blooms Garden.When they picked her up from the hospital, Aria was asleep and she didn’t know where they taking her. She
Alexander looked at her but didn’t say anything as he studied her face while she was busy munching her cupcakes. Now, he understands how Aria's true feelings about this marriage. He remembered her telling him that she didn’t want to marry this fast and all, but he wouldn't have thought that she would think this marriage would ruin her life.Alex was a human who no longer has sympathy. Since his mother died, Alex's sense of humanity and sympathy was buried along with her body mother to the grave.But now, when he was with Aria, he felt an overwhelming feeling of wanting to protect this fragile girl. He never cared about anyone. But anyone who dares to touch his wife will receive something more painful than death.From the guests' point of view, the newlyweds looked intimate and loving. The guests, apart from Aria’s so-called family, were Alex's men. They couldn’t hold the happy smile on their faces when they saw their boss, who was usually cold and cruel, calmer and gentler around his
Aria's eyes widened but Alex didn't seem to care to explain any longer because the meaning of his words was obvious.“Aria!” Someone interrupted her thoughts and stopped her steps.Alex's cold gaze fixed on the top five candidates of the most hated human list in his dictionary.Aria looked wary as her not-so-friendly step-sister walked closer, along with Susan and her father.They looked weird. Because they smiled at her.“Hi, Alexander, my name is Jasmine, I'm Aria's older sister, though we're just a year apart…” She giggled.Aria rolled her eyes almost to the back of her head. What is she trying to do now? Didn't she just giggle and act like a cheap woman in front of her husband?“Mr. Grissham.”Alexander's deep voice could be heard and he said it coldly. His grip on Aria's hand tightened but it didn't hurt her a bit.“Excuse me?” Jasmine didn't quite catch that. Or she did. It's just she's so stupid that she didn't realize the other party was clearly upset."My name is Mr. Grissham
Meanwhile, Aria was laughing and swinging her legs in Alex's arms.“Am I heavy?” She asked him, who walked casually as if he didn’t carry a thing. His strong grip on her waist and under her thighs didn’t hurt her.“No.” He answered. His eyes focused on his way ahead. They started going down the stairs leading to the parking lot."Then, you will carry me forever!" Aria laughed. Her hands wrapped around Alex's neck as a support. Of course, she was very nervous right now. She tried to relax so it wouldn’t turn into an awkward silence. Besides, Aria’s job was being noisy every time he was around her.So, she'd say something she thought was silly or funny and laugh. She’s that weird, maybe Alex thought so, but it seemed that he didn’t care if she talked too much.Make her like him even more.Their scene burned Jasmine's eyes as she looked at it. She had left the hall and saw Aria laughing and hugging the man who was supposed to be her husband.“Ari!” She called again, louder this time. She
Silence filled the car once again, the driver turned the engine on and drove slowly out of the parking lot. Alex didn't say anything. He could feel her gaze on him but he kept his eyes fixed on the window. Not that he didn't care. It's quite the opposite. From the way they looked at her, talked to her, and put her in this situation, already talking so much about it. Now, he was thinking about where to start with them. Aria leaned on her seat as she looked around. This was not the car Alex usually used. This one was bigger and spacious, even with her thick and big dress, she didn't feel cramped. This made her feel more relieved. “Alex,” Aria called him. Alex turned his head to her. “Hm.” "Do you know about this wedding?" She asked. She had been curious since earlier. “Yes,” Alex answered briefly. "Then, do you know I am the bride?" Alex looked at her closely. Aria would usually look away because her gaze was too intimidating. But this time she didn't want to lose. She wanted t
