Chapter 78: Chapter 78

Ariel stood in front of the mirror, not believing her eyes.

She was wearing the dress she saw inside the box and she was currently staring down at the letter she found inside the box too.

It was in Aiden's handwriting, and it was a short message; "I love you, Ariel."

Ariel blushed as she read it out loud.

Could she be falling for Aiden? What if she did? How was she going to go about it? What now happens to their contract if they'd both fallen in love with each other?

She sighed and stared at herself in the mirror. Aiden had chosen a deep, rich blue (almost purple) silk, reminiscent of a clear night sky.

It was a floor-length, fitted, mermaid-cut gown with a daring, plunging neckline showcasing subtle cleavage.

A cinched, curbed waistline accentuated her figure, and a dramatic, flared train flowed behind her.

The back was a low, sweeping curve, exposing a hint of skin.
