Chapter 4 The Other wife.

Aria POV

I sat on the kitchen stool , my palm on my cheek as I stared at nothing in particular.

Ugh! , why do I feel this way , I can't get Mr stranger out of my head , the way he touched my skin , it gave me tingles .

My cheeks became hot , I'm sure they are red by now .

"Huh , what's got you all dreamy?" Becca Smiled at me .

Becca is the niece of Ma'am Serena , she went away for a little while but now she's back , she's my bestfriend and well my only friend , she's so playful.

I blushed harder , "nothing."

"Don't Tell me nothing girl , your cheeks are all red , and your eyes are so dreamy." She smirked at me now .

"Come on , spill."

I huffed , she won't let this go until I tell .

"Uhm ... I met a man." I said playing with my fingers .

"Really?... when , how?!." She squealed .

"Shh , they might hear you." I warned her .

"Alright fine fine , but tell me everything."

"Uhm ... I met him one day when I went to the swing ..."

Yea , she knows about the swing , she partly helped me discover the place .

"I realised I was late and I was rushing back to the mansion, when suddenly I lost control and fell off silvia , he helped me and dropped me at home." I explained .

"What?, he came into the Mansion?"

"No no , I pleaded with him to drop me before the mansion gate." I replied .

"Awwn , that must have been so nice ... so tell me is he hot?" She asked.

I blushed.

"Yea , he is definitely hot." She winked at me.

"Stop it Becca." I whined.

"But he came here yesterday night."

"Really?"

"Yea , he is Dad's business partner."

"Wow , hot and rich." She said fanning herself dramatically.

I chuckled .

"He ... he also said he would see me soon when he gave me back my necklace." I said .

"Oh my! , it means he likes you too!" She squealed again.

"No Becca , that doesn't prove anything , he is Dad's business partner , he will probably be here for another meeting sometime , that was what he meant."

"Yea , you believe that." She scoffed.

Then Martina walked in .

She smirked at me , "now you look like the real servant you are, you thought putting on nice dresses would make that change." She laughed.

"Your plan to woe Theodore didn't even work , you slut , he chose me of course." She flipped her hair .

What?

"Watch what you say." Becca charged at her.

"He chose me Aria , he chose me to be his Wife and I'm warning you now , stay far away from him , he's mine." She flashed me a wicked look before she walked out.

"What?" I murmured.

"Don't listen to her Aria , you know she's a snake , she's definitely lying , I would ask my aunt." Becca said .

Ma'am Serena walked in .

"Aunt , is it true , is Martina getting married to Mr De'leon?" Becca asked .

Ma'am Serena looked at me with somewhat pity and then looked away .

"Yes , he's coming today with his family . Now come on , you girls eat." She said looking at me again before she walked out .

"Ugh! , I'm sure that snake seduced him , slut!." Becca hissed .

I sighed , it's fine , I mean , I don't even know him , I shouldn't feel this way.

"I will just head to the stables." I said and left .

I brushed Silvia's hair gently.

"Oh Silvia , I can't help but feel sad , he's getting married to Martina , I guess he likes her , I should really stop thinking about him now." I said sadly.

She neighed.

"Yes , it's for the best."

Theodore POV.

I stared at nothing in particular as I remembered every detail of her face , the feel of her skin .

I wanted to see her again , to touch her .

I groaned and stood up .

"Get your head right Theodore , she's the daughter of your enemy , a pawn in your revenge." I clenched my fist .

Then Noni walked in .

"Theodore." She called and walked up to me .

"I heard The Romanos' have agreed to the marriage ... its time." She said with her hands behind her back.

"Don't have any space for pity in your heart , let your heart be in accordance with your mind , one goal one thought , Revenge .

Avenging the death of your innocent father and mother .

Restoring the honor of your mother , and avenging your little sister who didn't have the chance to even know the world." She said as a tear dropped from her eyes.

I clenched my fist harder , the voices in my head started speaking to me again.

"every drop of their bloods , every tear they shed , I promise to avenge till my dying breath." I said through gritted teeth.

"That's good. Reneè and her mother will be accompanying you." She said .

"What?... no , it's impossible Noni."

"I don't trust any other people on this , who else to accompany you than them."

"Mother Elsa and Pancho can."

"They are both workers , Reneè and her mother is family."

"Reneè wouldn't agree to this Noni."

"She has , I already talked to her , get ready Theodore."

With that she left the room.

I sighed and rubbed my temple.

I got ready , I took out the bracelet I bought for her , Aria.

I smiled and kept it in my pocket , then I walked out .

The cars were ready , Reneè and aunt Salma stood at the front door .

"Let's get this over with already." Aunt Salam said and got into the car .

"Reneè , you don't have to do this if you don't want to." I said .

She looked up at me , her eyes teary , she let out a small smile.

"It's fine , I mean it takes a lot of courage for a wife to accompany her husband to ask for the hand of another woman , but if this is what I have to do , then so be it , maybe then you can finally acknowledge me as your wife and look at me with love , come on let's go."

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

We got into the car and headed to the Romanos' mansion.
