AMELIA❤️

"What is wrong with you, Amelia?" Aunt's angry voice sent shivers down my spine.

My heart banged faster as everyone's eyes rested on me. There are strange people in our house. The worse are the men outside. They are unbelievably huge and scary. They are the reason why I nervously missed a step and fell on the door.

"Will you get up?" Aunt ordered.

I quickly got on my feet and comported myself.

"I am sor....sorry." i stuttered as my eyes moved to the man seated on our couch. He is looking at me. I dropped my gaze, wondering who he was. And their reason for being in our house?

Are they like, the government or something? What have we done? Uncle and aunt and cousins are standing in front of them. Are we in some kind of trouble? What is going.....

"What are you standing there for?" Aunt snapped and I almost jumped.

"Get inside!" She yelled.

I quickly walked towards them and headed towards the room.

"Hold on." A deep male voice ordered, making me stop on my track. I looked at my aunt.

"Um... please ignore her. She is just a clumsy child. It's best she stays inside while we discuss something important." Aunt said to the man seated on our couch.

I arched my brows a bit.

"Go inside, Amelia." Aunt ordered.

I took steps towards the room.

"I said, hold on." The man ordered again and I stopped on my track. I turned around and dropped my gaze.

"Who is she?" The female among the guests asked.

"She is my niece. My late brother's daughter." Uncle answered.

There was a little silence before the man broke it with a question.

"How old are you, Amelia?" His deep voice sent shivers down my spine.

I looked up. He is looking at me. I nervously looked at my cousins. They are scowling at me. I shuddered slightly.

"You have to answer, Amelia." The female among the guests said.

"I...i am twenty years old." I stuttered.

"Filthy wrench." I heard Blanca mutter.

My heart slightly sank. Why is she angry at me? What did I do? And why is this strange man asking me this?

He stood on his feet. I shifted nervously and dropped my gaze. He is very tall in a very intimidating way. He screams of power and wealth.

What does he want from us?

"Well, Mr Rodriquez," the man called.

"Yes, sir." Uncle answered.

"I have made a choice."

Choice on what? I have no idea what is going on.

"I would like to marry your niece, Amelia."

My jaw dropped.

"What?" I heard my cousins say.

Slowly, I looked up at the man. He is looking at me. I arched my brows in absolute confusion.

He smirked at me, making me drop my gaze. Did he just say marry?

My heart pounded.

I sensed my aunt persuading my uncle to speak up.
