It's finally happening.
She's going to see Alexander Knights.
From the look on Harry's face, he was bothered, and she noticed it as it lingered on his face, about his uncertainty about allowing her to go meet him. Ariana didn't know the reason for that, afterall, he was the one that said that she still has a week of training to finish off, before he could consider her meeting Alexander.
So, what changed?
What's the rush?
Since morning, Harry has been on call, the few ones he was on he was having an argument with Caleb, which she had no idea what it was all about, until she heard her name.
They are arguing about her getting to meet Alexander. If he doesn't want her to meet him, he could call all of this off, but everything changed since yesterday that she saw him kill that guard.
It was made plain clear to her that Harry wasn't the one to call the shots over here. Meanwhile, after what happened last night, she took it upon herself to go research about the man she was getting engaged to, but all she could see was an impressive profile about him, there was no picture of him online.
It was like Alexander Knights was a ghost, no, after yesterday night, the young lady was convinced that she was dating a sick old man, that has power to kill someone and the police can't do anything about it.
The only thing about him that caught her interest, was the part where it started that he was an illegitimate son, born out of wedlock from the Knights family. Yet, that was all rumours since nothing yet has been said from the accused family over the issues.
So, basically Alexander has family issues, which was not her business to interfere in, neither, did it matter to her that Harry was panicking over her meeting him.
The only hope she has right now is that the moment she meets Alexander, let him see through her lies to know that she isn't the real Selina White, only then would she be able to leave here, without the problem coming from her side.
"I'm done,sir." The makeup artist, who was busy getting her ready to leave, said to Harry, who looked up from his phone to look at Ariana, trying to look for any flaws that should be fixed.
Ariana had her eyes closed, but the moment she opened it all she could see was a totally different person altogether. She has never been the makeup type of girl, but Selina is, whereas her red hair was dyed to Selina's blonde hair to balance the equation.
A gasp left her lips, was this a blessing or curse that she was Selina's doppelgänger? She had no idea, but at this moment where her life is on the line, and she had her hopes up that this won't work, she was brought out of her thoughts by Harry who came closer to drop a contact lens cover on the vanity.
"What a..re you doing?" Ariana stuttered, not liking the close proximity between the both of them, the moment he tilted her head up. She didn't want him to touch her with his bloody hands, he's a murderer, but he didn't look like he was affected by what happened yesterday.
The puppy in her hand barked at Harry, who looked down at it, where has he seen this puppy?
He wondered, but waved the thought aside since he had far more important things to worry about. "Don't worry, I'm not planning on harming you until you give me a reason to do that."
He said, before fixing the lens over her blue eyes. Selina had bewitching green eyes.
"I can't see. I heard that lens aren't good, it could make one go blind." Ariana said with her eyes closed, which made Harry chuckled at her naivety.
"You can see, you are just being scared. Open your eyes and you will see." He urged her, and slowly she opened her eyes, trying to adjust some mild irritating itch at the corner of her eyes, but he held back her hand.
"You can't rub at your eyes, Ariana, stop being a child, and look at the mirror." He childed her, which she did listen to him. Finally, the finishing touch is done.
"It's itching." She said in a childlike tone, although she's feeling her looks. Grace would have been so excited seeing her in this expensive dress, shoes and bag, but of course, Grace is nowhere to be found, even if she was here right now, she still won't like the fact that she's about to sell her soul to the devil in the hope of getting ten billion dollars out of it.
"You have to get used to it, on no account would you let Alexander see your real eyes. He's not stupid, he will know that you are a fake immediately." Harry warned her.
"But I'm not ready yet, it's only been two days since i trained and now, you are rushing things. Please, don't tell me he's an old man that's on the verge of death, that you are trying to pair me with?" She asked, turning to look at him.
Harry chuckled at her words, she was still on about this old man bullshit? Figures, none of Alexander's pictures were on the internet yet, so she couldn't have possibly seen the man that she was going to meet.
Ariana furrowed her brows at him bullying her with his laugh, he hasn't given her a straight answer about this Alexander, and it scares her.
Looking at Harry up close, it was unbelievable that someone like him could kill someone. He looked too innocent and the nerdy type to do that type of shit.
But human beings are scary, it only takes time to see one's true colours. She only hoped that Alexander wasn't worse, or like Harry.
If he wasn't, then she could tell Alexander about Harry killing someone, and he could help her…
Ofcourse, doing that would only warrant that she exposes her true self!
Ariana thought.
Stupid girl!
Her conscience attacked her.
The only thing she could do now is to observe the situation, since there's been no appearance of the police, it means that Harry wasn't planning on blaming her for the death of Leo.
Even if Alexander wasn't what she thinks of him to be, for the fact that Harry was carrying a gun and is a secretary to him. It only means one thing.
Alexander was way worse than him.
"No." She refused to believe her thoughts.
"No, about what exactly?" Harry asked, coming closer to give her the book that contained everything she needed to know about Selina, and her relationship with Alexander.
He made sure to document every important detail, which Alexander might question her about. He only hoped for her sake that she's done going through this document.
"Nothing." She said, smiling nervously at him.
"Go through this, while i answer a call. We leave in a few minutes." He said, leaving the room as Ariana let out a deep breath.
She has never been so scared like she is right now, in her entire life. Even while she was locked up with Grace, her fear then couldn't amount to that of right now.
She picked up the document and went through the ones she knew she was having a bad time to recall. But the door chose to open at that moment and Harry swiftly entered the room.
"Alright, we are ready to leave,"He announced.
All the young girl could do was to pray that she doesn't disgrace herself in front of Alexander. This was harder than she thought initially.
So, help me, God.
Ariana prayed.
