Chapter 35: BIGGEST SHOCK OF HER LIFE
ISABELLA POV:
Mom don't worry I will reach their timely, let me finish my work, please.
"Baby it's already 4.30 and you haven't dressed up yet, please just leave your work for now, you can come home and finish your pending work".
Mom, I am not marrying that guy today, I don't even know his name, I just have his phone number. I don't need to dress like a princess for him, it's just a meeting mom, so don't take so much stress, I will be ready on time.
"Ok as you wish baby, but please dress properly today, you know right your seat is booked in The Marlins, it's the most famous hotel here, so I am just saying, take your time to look good."
Ok mom, now go I will be ready.
Really this marriage fixing is irritating me, I just hope this meeting ends fast, and I will be able to return home soon. Ok then let's get ready.
I chose an emerald lace top with a deep neck and combined it with my tight jeans. I don't want to wear a fancy gown, I mean I don't know who I am meeting then why should I dress up like a real bride?
Ok, the dress is done, now some accessories, I chose a simple bracelet and put on my green diamond studs, I loved this pair of earrings, my mom gave this to me when I passed high school, it was a gift from my dad, he wished to give it to me, but when I passed my high school he left us already, so mom gave me this.
I put on some minimal makeup and red lipstick, curled my front hair, and left the back ones, finally, I was done. I checked myself last time and took my purse.
Mom, granny I am ready, I will leave soon.
"Oh my God Bella you are looking so beautiful, I am sure the gentleman will be surprised to see you".
Oh, granny, I am just meeting him, for your sake, let's see what happens.
"Bella why didn't you wear a gown or dress, you simply wore jeans and a top, baby you are going to Marlins, what will people think."
Mom, I don't care what others think, I am comfortable with this so I wore this, plus it's just a meeting mom, not a date.
Ok, then I am leaving now.
"Best of luck baby, I hope you like him."
Ya, we will see granny.
By mom, by granny.
AT 6 PM: THE MARLINS:
This hotel is a really big thing, so many branded cars were outside, now I am feeling a bit nervous,
Hello I have a seat book under my name
"What is your name Ma'am"
Ya Isabella Miller.
"Yes we have your booking, please come with me"
As I was walking inside, I saw the interiors of the hotel, it was really beautiful.
Some girls who were seated inside were giving me disgusted looks, what the hell, am I dressed that bad?
"Ma'am please take your seat, Sir has not arrived till now, so do you want to place any orders, I mean your dinner is already paid for, so you can eat whatever you like."
What the hell, who has paid my bill, I mean they have booked as well as paid for my dinner also, this is too much, I will pay him back part of my share, I can't eat like this.
Ya, can you please bring me a lemon mojito?
"Yes sure ma'am".
I sat down and looked around, so many people were seating, some were laughing, and some were doing important meetings. This place is happening, mom was right, I think I wore something very simple, but this is me I can't change for someone else.
It's already 6.15, when will this man come, now I am getting angry.
Suddenly my cell phone rang, whose number is this,
Hello
"Hi, actually my grandpa has asked me to meet you at Marlins today, I don't even know your name, they just gave me your number, so may I know your name, I am already here, and what color dress are you wearing".
Why do I feel I have heard this voice before,
Hi, my name is Isabella, I am already sitting at our table, and I have worn an emerald dress today.
"No way this can not be," I heard him mutter.
I stood up and turned and to my horror, Aiden Williams was standing with the phone in his hands and looking straight at me. He wore the same dress, which he told me, I mean the man I was supposed to meet. No way this can't be true, is this happening?
He came in front of me and gave me his infamous smirk.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Miller", he spoke and held his hand out for me to shake.
I was shocked, how can this be true, no way granny can't know him, how can she select him as my husband?
"Hello Miss Miller, are you in this world or somewhere else,". He spoke sarcastically.
No, I am fine Sir, I mean Mr. Williams.
"Let's sit down then and talk, what you say".
Ok, let's seat down,
"I am really surprised or rather shocked to find you here Miss Miller, I mean my grandpa forced me to meet the girl he chose for me to marry, but I don't understand how come he knows you and your family."
I don't know anything about this Sir, but my granny also forced me to meet you, I am really confused now, but I know one thing I can't marry you, I am sorry to say that I can't marry someone who hates the word LOVE, so I hope you will understand my situation and speak with your grandpa, regarding this arrangement. I will speak with my granny and I am sure she will consider my situation.
He was looking at me again with those bright blue orbs and I saw his face become stone cold, without any emotion, his face held so much anger.
"Do you think I am dying to marry someone like you, I mean all the film stars, and models, are dying to become my wife, and my grandpa chose you, it's really funny, what did he see in you, only he knows. But let me clear out some things Miss Miller, I do not believe in marriage or love, but I love my grandpa very much so I am willing to do anything for him. If by marrying you, my grandpa becomes happy, I will do that, but never think I am dying to marry you. Secondly, you can tell your grandma anything, and you can reject this proposal, but I will not reject it, because I know if I do it, my grandpa will be very hurt and I can't hurt him, Miss Miller, so it's up to you, what you decide."
No way how can he agree to this arrangement, he announced that he doesn't believe in love, then why the hell is he not saying anything to his grandpa?
He was going on clenching his teeth, what is wrong with him,
The waiter came and served me my mojito, and was smiling at me, he wrote something in a tissue and gave it to me.
As soon as he left, Aiden snatched the tissue from me, what is wrong with him?
"That bastard I will kill him, " he shouted.
What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this
"Are you so stupid Isabella, that jerk was eye fucking you the whole time and he gave his phone number at the back of this tissue paper, I will teach him a good lesson".
No, you don't have to, listen you order something and then we will leave.
"I have lost my appetite, and I am leaving now, but let me tell you one thing, I will not deny my grandpa's wish, it's your decision entirely, so you do what you have to"
He stood up and left, what the hell, what is this happening to me?
I stood up slowly and went out, suddenly I saw a black Audi, and it stopped right in front of me.
"Get in Isabella, my grandpa had booked everything, so it's my duty to drop you back home".
The way he pronounced my name, gave me goosebumps, no way what the hell I am thinking?
No Sir, you go, I can manage.
"Should I come outside and drag you in my car, or you will come fast".
Who the hell does he think he is, I don't want any more problems, so I went and sat down in his car.
He is driving himself, where is his driver,
I gave him my address and we drove in complete silence, suddenly his fingers brushed my legs and I looked at him, he was driving without giving me any attention. Why these stupid butterflies are again fluttering in my stomach, I want to forget all those feelings I had for this man, but Why I am drowning again?
Finally, we reached my home, and I got down. He didn't speak anything the whole ride and as soon as I came out of his car, he rode back fast without even giving me a small glance. Why is this affecting me so much, he just ignored me, I am no one for him, I don't belong to his class, why will he waste his time on a girl like me? I have to make granny understand, that we two can't marry each other, we don't belong together. I just hope she understands.
