Andy and Aiden got to the room, and Andy shut the door behind them. "Karlie called, she wanted me to arrange a meeting between you two," Aiden smiled. "Where? When?" "Well," she asked that you pick her up by the lake at midnight tonight." "Thank you so much, brother. I appreciate you," he hugged his brother. "Aiden, I hate to say it, but you need to get married so I can. I want to ask Amber to marry me.
I want to start my future with her. I love her." "I know, brother. I'm going to. What about Miss Winters?" "I told her I can't marry her. Today I can't pretend anymore. She's not my type. Aiden, we both know love isn't the foundation of our marriages. It's about duty and honor. While I do understand that you love her, there is no guarantee that you can get a happy ending with her. Karlie is what I want, even if Father disowned me.
I am in love with her, brother. I'm sorry, but you may have to come to the realization that you may have to give up Karlie. Brother, I can't without her. I don't think I can survive." "I know you, but I'm just saying be prepared for the worst. Brother, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but just know you may not be able to have her," he hugged Aiden and put the car keys in his hand.
"I think it's time you keep this close. I mean, it's your car," he smiled. "We are spoiled too much with Carlos taking us everywhere. You are going to have to get used to driving yourself." "I did drive overseas in college for four years, but I get the picture," Aiden stated. "Thank you, brother." Aiden was excited. He couldn't wait for it to be midnight. He lay in bed just smiling. Karlie wanted to see him. It was about time. It's been four long weeks without her.
He lay in bed thinking about the meeting he had with his trust fund manager. He was surprised as to how much money his mother left in this trust.
It was more than enough for him and Karlie to leave their society and start over wherever she wanted to go. He was hopeful in two days they could leave if Karlie was willing after Cole's wedding. He wanted to leave now, but he wouldn't let his friend down.
