Aria's POV
Today is the day I fulfill my parent's last wish for me, 'getting married to the man of their choice'. His father is my father's old time friend, when they were both business partners.
I look to the mirror at my pale skin dressed in a cute white weeding dress. Today is my wedding day. As a kid, I always look forward to my wedding, thinking it would be so perfect. I've always dreamed of a perfect beach wedding, with the waves of the sea blowing gently to soothe our skin. The marriage contract was signed yesterday and I've not met my soon-to-be-husband yet. I don't have any option, I have to get along with what my parents have planned. I know they want the best for me. I look into the mirror one more time before my younger sister came in. I have three siblings. Two elder brother and a younger sister. You would have known I was quite protected as a kid by my brothers. "Aria are you ready?" my sister asked. I rubbed my nervous hands together and forced a smile. I took the cute flower made of lilies. "Yes, I am" I said and we moved out together.
I am Aria Bennet, a medical doctor specialized in the ED meaning Emergency Department, my dad is a business man and deals with all kinds of textiles before he retired few months ago and my eldest brother took over and took the company to a whole new level. He is quite successful and knows what he does. I am 25 years old with a small body but nice curves in the necessary places. I'm 5'2, I can be described as kind, reserved and nice. I had a huge heartbreak at college, I don't want to dive into that because it left a huge scar on me. It's part of the reason I'm happy my parents found me a husband, I couldn't go through the process of falling in love all over again. That's all about me for now. I sucked in a breath and linked my arms with my dad's. My parents are strict but nice, I couldn't ask for a better ones. My dad and I walked slowly to the altar. The congregations were staring and amused. We got to the altar and my dad gave my hand to him. 'Alexander Manchester', he smiled brightly as if he's interested in the whole arrangement, I can't help but to think about that. We exchanged vows and the priest joined us together then we exchanged rings. "You may now kiss the bride" the priest spoke. My fuzzy brain came back to normal. "What?!" I said with my eyes widened in shock, I completely forget this part. I don't attend wedding parties much, but I usually hear people talk about it and I've seen it in movies. "Don't make this harder than it seems" Alex whispered as he drew me closer held my waist and gently grazed my lips. I felt light shocks from where his lips grazes mine and where his hands stayed at my waist. The crowd cheered in happiness. We went down from the altar and the party started. I was left alone by my husband as he went to welcome and converse with some his business partners. He built his tech company from the scratch on his own. He has an elder brother who inherited their father's business instead, who is already married and blessed with a twin. According to what I heard, he was allotted a share from their father's business which he rejected. I took a cup of wine from a bartender and went to have a sit. I and my younger sis doesn't talk much. She flew in for my wedding, she's based in paris where she does her fashion stuff. She has always been interested in fashion since she was young and our parents supported her passion, she's doing well currently as she is designing for a popular and successful company. I don't have many friend and I sure didn't invite my colleagues at work. I took an off today for a total different reason at work, I'll inform them when I resume work tomorrow. It's just marriage, it's not something special. I shrugged. I'll be staying at my husband's house starting from this night, my stuffs has been delivered there since yesterday after signing the contract. I watched how he was conversing with his partners or friends. He has quite the pleasant features. Looking at him, he's about 6'1 tall and that's okay, I guess. He's really attractive, his sharp jawline, green eyes and well shaped and thick eyebrows, well structured nose and tan skin, his muscular arms is slightly visible from the blazer of his black Armani suit. I take a sip from my wine as I continued observing him. His laugh radiates lightly. "He's fine man". I thought. "Like what you see?" someone asked amused behind me. "Ohh!" I exclaimed. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you like that. I'm Anthony, you can call me Tony" he said stretching out his arms for a handshake. "Ohh, nice to meet you. I know you already know my name" I said receiving the handshake. "I'm a friend of the groom and it wouldn't be bad to hear your name from you" he said twinkling his eyes. I smiled genuinely. "I'm Aria" I said. "A beautiful name for a beautiful lady" he said and mused. "Don't flatter me" I laughed. We've separated our hands now. "I'm not, I mean it. I heard you're a medical doctor?" he asked. "Yes, I work in a hospital" I replied. Alex looks to at his side to us and moves towards us. "Congratulations man" Tony said to Alex who has walked closer smiling brightly and tapping his shoulder. Alex's face was rigid now as if he were angry. I stood quietly looking between the two friends. "Maybe they're not close" I thought. Alex looked to his shoulder where Tony's hand still stays. He retracted his hand and whispered to me before he strolled away with his hand in his pocket. "Be careful of this one, he can be scary" he smirked. "So, how are you doing?" I asked "We're leaving now, I already bid everyone goodbye" he said emotionlessly. I didn't have the strength to argue, I nod and followed him. My parents faces us as we moved out and smiled at me. I smiled back and we left in his sport car as he drove us out.
I looked out through the window as we moved along. "Nothing's changed, just moving to a new house". I thought. We entered a very beautiful estate with enchanting flowers by the side of the road and then we reached a big gate and a huge mansion behind it. He punched in the security code and the gate opened wide, then he drove in and packed the other sport cars at his house's packing lot in which my chevrolet spark is packed. I came down following him. "Move along" he said. We reached the door and it was opened by a maid. "Welcome, Sir" she greeted him. "Hmmm" he replied moved further. "I'll get someone to show you where you'll be staying and show you around" he said and I looked at him dumbfounded. "I'll bring a contract for you to sign as you're staying in my house from now on, wait for me, I'm coming" he said while he climbed the stairs up. "A contract?" I thought asking myself and I wait for him to come back.
