ARAYA'S POV～
Even before I learnt how to talk properly I could already tell somethings,Although I come from a very wealthy family it did not push out the strange way everybody looks at me or turn careful around me.
There were whispers of'She belongs to the king'and I always wondered what they meant as I am not from any royal family.
When I got furstrated I decided to ask my mother about it and after sometime she finally explained everything to me.
Turns out from the moment I was born I was already bethroted to a man.
Learning all these things did not help me as at that time I put up a fight,cursed at everybody and even refused to eat for days simply because I wanted a way out of this so called bethrotal.
I had never even ever met my groom and all I've heard about the man is seriously scary, the media labels him as a private man,but it says that he is ruthless and as far as I know about his family they are royals.
So that explains the'she belongs to the king' what king of royals tho I don't know,heck I've never even looked at the man's picture and I just pray and hope he is not some old dude.
''You have to get ready Ara''My best friend Nikitta says.
Nikitta has been my friend since ever since and I shared everything with her,she is also from a wealthy family and bacause of the close relationship between my family and hers she knows about my bethrotal.
''I don't want to Niki''I tell her furstrated and sit on my bed while starring at her with my blue eyes,She rolls her beautiful emerald green eyes before moving closer to sit close to me.
Her blonde hair which is almost identical to mine moves slightly only that mine is curlier and also whiter almost a silver colour.
''Look Niki,everybody is getting ready downstairs to meet your future husband,all you have to do is show up''She says and looks at me''Then when you have time to talk to him you can express how you feel properly ok'' She finishes and I groan lying back down on my bed.
A knock on the door pulls our attention towards the door'What'I call out to whoever is at the other side.
''Miss your mother has asked me to tell you to get ready''The voice of a maid rings out from the other side and I almost yell and tell her to go tell them'I ain't going nowhere'.
''I'll be down soon''I just tell her and turn to look at the stupid dress my mother has 'Specifically'picked out for me.
According to her'I don't want you to dress and give the guests a heartattack''she says reffering to the amount of thigh length dresses I have.
This one is an emerald green dress that stops above the knee,modest,with a little dip neck to show just a decent amount of cleavage and I roll my eyes throwing back the dress on the bed before walking towards my walk in closet.
''Is this not the dress you are meant to wear'' Nikkita says behind me and she even brings the dress along with her.
She is already dressed for the so called 'meeting' with her blonde hair straightened and the tip curled,her emerald green dress bringing out the colour of her eyes and a simple makeup to go with.
Overall she looks like a lady from the upper class family and I tell youthis is why my mom loves Niki.
''Fuck that dress''I say and walk towards my sweethearts a smile on my face''This is my dress for the evening''I tell her before bringing out an ankle length red dress.
''Looks absolutely divine''Nikitta says but opens her mouth when I open the dress further to show her the slit.
The dress has a very long slit,an off shoulder straps as hands..
''Let's get this party started''I yell and move to my makeup,after some disturbance from Niki not to go over the board I end up with beautiful nude eye make up,a nicely contoured face and a bold red lipstick.
Smiling at myself I look at my reflection in the mirror'Perfect'I mumble and stand up before turning to grab my dress.
After getting dressed I walk to the huge mirror in the room and Niki whistles which makes me laugh.
Grabbing a pair of red colored heels I tern myself ready to go after grabbing my phone.
''Your mother is going to have a heart attack'' Nikitta says reffering to the slit on my dress and I laugh at her words which is true.
We link arms and start heading downstairs and that is when I start feeling it.
The nerves,I felt like pucking and there again running back to my room to just put all this behind me and term it a bad dream.
''Calm down Ara''Nikitta says and passes me a reassuring smile.
We walk down the left side of the stairs and I see my family,Nikitta's family and an unfamiliar family there.
They all had their backs to us and when my mother turns to look at us I can see her smile about to fall and I almost laugh at her expression.
Her blonde hair is put in a perfect bun while she is adorning a blue dress that hugs her figure,her makeup kept light and elegant,her silver coloured heels glisten against the shinning marbled floor.
Her hand is linked around Father who is wearing a navy blue suit and my eyes move towards my siblings who stand close to them.
''Marcello,Vivian this is my daughter Araya'' Mother says and the couple standing close to them turns.
The woman has the softest pair of brown eyes I have ever seen her hair put in a side sweep and the gold coloured dress complimemts her skin,she looks absolutely beautiful like those women you see from books and although her eyes are kind something tells me you don't want to mess with her.
Her husband has a pair of steel grey eyes,black hair and a small smile on his handsome face,they all look like they are from some sort of painting.
''Hello dear''Vivian says and I unlink my arms from Nikkitta to step closer to shake her hand when she pulls me into a hug.
''Oh Rose she gets prettier everytime''The woman says and I just smile at her while my mother lets out a small laugh.
I swear my mother has laughed too much today and I wonder if she is tipsy.
''Araya''The man Vivian's husband calls out his voice deep and screams power,he has this aura around him that wants to force people to bend and bow.
He pulls me into a hug of his own and I smile.
'Sugar daddy vibes'
''Oh dear this is my son Daniel king,his twin sister Daniella''She says and gestures to the two behind her who look about my age.
I eye the Daniel and he seems to be getting the hint as he raises his hand.
''Oh I am not your groom''He says raising his hand in surrender and we all burst out laughing at his words.
Though I am curious where the suppose groom is.
''Where is the groom''I ask and turn to Vivian for answers when a voice suddenly booms behind us.
''He is here''
