Chapter 5 Butterflies.

Theodore POV

"Ah , Mr De'leon , you are here , let's go to the garden." Mr Giovanni Romano welcomed us .

"This is my aunt Salma and my cousin , Reneè." I introduced aunt Salma and Reneè.

"You are welcome."

I looked around but didn't see Aria.

"Honestly I have to say , this union will definitely be the best for our families." Mr Romano said grinned.

I mentally rolled my eyes , lets just get this over with .

Aunt Salma cleared her throat , "Uhm , so where is our bride?"

"Ah , Yes ... Celine dear , call her in." He said to his wife .

The door opened , but it wasn't Aria , it was Martina , their second daughter .

What is he up to , this dog!.

"What is this Mr Romano?" I asked coldly.

Aunt Salma and Reneè looked at me .

"This isn't the daughter I chose , I chose Aria , your first daughter." I said trying to control the rage I was feeling.

"Yea , I know ..but ..Aria , she ..she .."

"She said she isn't interested." Mrs Celine butted in.

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at the both of them , then I stood and adjusted my suit .

"I clearly stated my condition to you Mr Romano, I don't know what these games are .

If your daughter isn't interested, then you make her interested , or this partnership is bye bye." I said sternly and Walked out.

"What was that Theodore?" Reneè questioned when we got out of the mansion.

"That wasn't the girl I chose." I simply said .

"But wasn't the plan just to marry one of the Romanos' daughters , why are you so hell bent on the first daughter?" She yelled a little this time .

"Yes , that is the plan , but if we are going to hit them , we have to hit them where it hurts the most , it's obvious they don't want to give Aria out because she's their princess and that is just perfect." I replied.

She walked closer to me , "I hope that's the only reason , don't ever forget you have only one woman in your life , one wife and that's me." She warned before she got into the car with her mom and left.

I groaned.

Everything would have been so much easier if grandmother didn't insist on me marrying her.

Yea , the truth is I don't love Reneè .

She happens to be the granddaughter of My grandfather's closest friend before he died , my Noni always treated her like her family .

One day , Noni suggested we get married , and Reneè , having feelings for me , totally agreed , now here we are.

I sighed rubbing my temple .

I turned around to get into my car , then I saw Aria .

She was heading towards the Ranch.

I signalled my chauffeur to close the car door and wait , I followed her.

Aria POV

I hummed a song as i walked through the ranch , my hair was blowing wildly as a result of the wind .

I walked into the stables , Silvia neighed.

I chuckled lightly , "I will sing you a song , yea."

Then I began singing the song my Grandma always sang to me whenever I cried , I miss her so much.

I sang as I brushed her hair .

"Nice voice." I heard somebody say .

"Oh my God!." I jumped startled as I turned around to see Theodore.

He chuckled , "I'm sorry if I startled you Bella." He said in his deep manly voice .

I blushed , then I remembered he's probably already engaged to Martina , my face immediately turns into a frown as i looked away from him .

"What are you doing here?" I asked .

"Followed you." He replied .

"Why?"

"Well I wanted to see where my future wife was headed." He said smiling and walking closer to me .

I scowled at him and turned to leave but He held my arm stopping me.

"Let me go." I grumbled .

"Is something wrong?." He asked

"I'm not your wife." I hissed at him .

"I heard you rejected me , why?" He suddenly asked.

What?

"What are you saying?" I asked confused.

"Your sister was presented to me today instead of you , they said you didn't want to marry me , is that true Bella?" He asked staring intently at me , I shifted backwards a little .

"What.. what are you saying? , you chose my sister , not me."

"I picked you , I mentioned only one name from the beginning and it's you , Aria." He said softly , I loved the way my name rolled off this tongue so smoothly .

I blushed again , I really need to stop blushing.

He smirked walking closer to me again , I shifted backwards, then I remembered last time how I was caged in between him.

I gulped as his eyes roamed all over me , then he smiled and brought out a box , he opened it , it was a very beautiful bracelet.

I smiled , "it's so beautiful."

"Just like you." He said as he placed it on my wrist and kissed my knuckles.

I blushed again , I know at this point, I probably look like a tomato but I don't care , he's so charming , could he be the one? , my saviour? , my Prince Charming?

"See you soon my beloved." He whispered in my ear softly, it sent tingles all over my body.

He smiled at me before he walked out , leaving me blushing like a fool.

I looked at the bracelet and giggled, "so beautiful."

"Oh Silvia, I can feel it , he's the one , why else will I feel this much butterflies when he is around? , why does my heart swell so much when he looks at me with those eyes?, I ... I think I'm in love." I said dreamily.

Martina POV

I leaned my ear closer to the door to hear their conversation.

"Are you just going to let this go Gio?!" Mom yelled.

"I really don't have a choice Celine , this partnership is so important, if he says he want Aria , then we just have to give her to him." Dad said

"Gio , that can't.."

"Enough Celine! , this is my final decision .

Maybe it's best we don't even give our precious daughter to such an arrogant man." Dad said.

"But she's in love with him , Martina is in love with him."

"It's just a crush , she will get over it , I will find a good wealthy potential suitor for her when the time is right , come on let's go to bed."

I clenched my fist.

"No no no, this can't be possible , Aria can't marry the man of my dreams."

"Nooo" I screamed as I scattered my dressing table.

Theodore De'Leon is mine and if Dad won't do anything about it then I would , I smirked .
