46. Epilogue: Zelo Grey Hemmings

> One Year Later <
> Zelo Grey,
For some unknown reason I was called home immediately after the proposal of Ashton. I had a fear what it was that my mother wanted to discuss with me. It felt even worse when she told me to come without Sion.

I was currently sitting on the couch waiting for her to come back from her book signing.

"Zelo Grey, I'm so glad that my first son still listens to his mother" she says as she takes a seat on the chair across of me. "I suppose you already know why I summoned you here".

I just nod quietly, the day has finally come.

"Speak up dear" she says and motions our house elf to get her some tea. "As you know, our family has had arranged marriages for ages and I'm proud to say that it's finally your turn son. I am sure you are going to love her, she's from Beauxbatons" mother says and thank the house elf for her tea. "However you do know what this means. I heard from Sion that you have a girlfriend and I'm sorry to say you have to break up with her".

I nod once again before I remember her words. "Yes mother".

-x-x-x-

The following month had been painful seeing how happy Ashton and Jordyn were while I broke up with Aerith. I always made sure that I didn't run into her since I still had feelings for her. I wish I could turn back time and enjoy the moments I had with her once again.

Today was the day that I was going to meet her, the girl I have to get married to. I wish I was from a normal family that didn't do arranged marriages, doesn't make any sense anyway.

"Hyung, you look- eh not so bad" Sion says as he's laying on my bed.

The past four weeks he has been acting pretty mysterious and well more odd then normally. However I had better things to worry about then his behaviour. I straighten the fabric of the suit before turning around.

"Let's meet the lady who made me break up with Aerith" I mutter as I turn to Sion.

"Yes that lady" he snickers before walking out of my room. He's really starting to get on my nerves.

We slowly walk down the staircase towards the living room where I get the biggest surprise of my life. Jackson, yes Aerith's twin brother Jackson is standing in the middle of the living room while chatting with my mother. She seems to be charmed by his charms, I never knew he had charms though.

"Ah there are my sons, but suppose you already know them" she says as Sion gives him an excited fist bump.

"Jack" Sion grins.

"Yes I'm here, and I brought someone with me" he says with a cheeky smile.

I want to ask my mother what the meaning of all of this is- until I notice Aerith enter the room. She's wearing a beautiful white dress that hugs her body and flows behind her with every step she takes. Her mouth drops slightly when she notices me.

"Aerith" I whisper almost inaudible.

"There she is. Zelo dear, this is your fiance Miss Aerith Yael Delaroux" mother says as she lightly grabs Aerith to put her hand on mine. "Finally you two meet".

"This is so ironic" I say with a grin as I look at Aerith. "Mother this is the girl I had to break up with from you".

Her eyes widen in surprise as she looks at Sion. He starts to laugh loudly until mother hits him softly on the shoulder.

"Sion Gray, how dare you. Why didn't you tell your own mother that your brother was already dating his fiance".

"Sorry".

I turn back to Aerith who's smiling at me.

"This is pretty ironic".

She nods while my other hand brushes the strains of hair out of her face. It is pretty ironic that I was dating my fiance from the start. This was the main reason why I was playing around with her in the beginning, because I was afraid that I would have to let her go again.

"I really missed you" I softly say and peck her softly on her lips.

I missed her lips on mine, her soft touch and how she used to sass me.

Suddenly I feel a hand on my back, causing me to break the kiss and see a smiling Ashton next to me. I notice Jordyn and Sion hugging each other as a greeting which makes me smile as well.

"You asshole, you knew and didn't tell me huh".

This time I feel the slap of my mother as she gives me a warning look. "Zelo Grey, language".

"Actually I heard it last week from Sion. Here we were thinking what kind of jerk you were for not telling Aerith the reason of the break up, we never heard about your arranged marriage".

"It's because it's so weird to have an arranged marriage nowadays. However I'm glad with my mother's choice".

I look at Aerith who's now talking to Jordyn, showing off her ring. The ring I did pick out when mother forced me to go out with her, I was thinking about giving it to her while picking it out and now she does have it. Although it does bother me that I wasn't able to slide it on her finger.

"Yes you're right about the arranged marriage part, but you are one of the few who is lucky enough to marry the person he wants to. But be prepared of a lot of wedding talk from now on, now you know who she is".

I slap his shoulder with an annoyed sigh. "Oh shut up". I turn to see Sion chat with Jackson near the window and I have to supress the feeling of pushing him out of the window. "That little derp face did know about. However when this happens to him I will not tell him a thing about her".

Ashton smirks. "That's sounds a lot like you".

I grin and look at Aerith. At least she's going to be my wife.
