Celeste's P.O.V✨🌟
(One week later)
Today is the day. My sisters and I are finally going to meet this Alexander. We have all been preparing for this day, especially Lilith.
The only thing she has been talking about is Alexander. Asking what he might like or what he might hate, wondering what his favorite color must be.
" Do you think that Alexander would find me more attractive if I tied my hair instead?" Lilith asks, looking in the mirror as Stella, Venus, Helen and I help her get ready.
" For the millionth time lilith, I do not know." Stella says, trying to style Lilith's hair.
" I think you should just try to look your best to make a good first impression." Venus suggests, trying to quickly style her own hair.
After arguing about which dress is prettier or what hairstyle is better, we finally agreed.
" Hurry up, girls. Alexander is just outside with your father." Mother whispers at the door.
" We are actually fi-" Venus says, but was interupted.
" How do I look?" Lilith asks.
" Like an angel, my dear." Mother gasps, walking in." Now, the rest of you go and greet Alexander. I will bring Lilith in later."
" Okay! Time to meet Alexander" Helen exclaims.
⭐⭐⭐
After walking out of Lilith's room, my three sisters and I went straight outside to finally meet Alexander.
But to our horror, he looks just like the other men our father had married our older sisters to.
" Greetings." Alexander greets, looking at all of us, especially me, as though he is trying to' take his pick'
" ...G-greetings." Stella bows," Please, come in."
" Stella, what are you doing." Venus asks after father and Alexander enter the house.
" Listen, I know what this looks like but we have to act like nothing is wrong here. Got it?" Stella says, with a firm tone before walking in.
" Okay..." Helen sighs walking in after Stella and Venus and I follow.
⭐⭐⭐
" So which one is Lilith?" Alexander asks, taking a sip of his tea." They all look the same to me."
" Says you." Venus hisses under her breathe.
" What was that?" Father asks, narrowing his eyes at her.
" Oh, I said let me call mother and Lilith. I think they are up stairs." Venus says walking out of the room.
" You are sure Lilith is not already in the room." Alexander asks, while staring at me.
Ugh! This man makes me feel so uncomfortable! When Lilith and mother finally walk into the room, I immediately notice the expression on her face. Lilith looks so heart broken.
" Ah, there she is!" Father exclaims, as mother and Lilith take there seats.
When the real conversation starts I do not really pay attention until I hear them talking about the date of the wedding.
" ...So how about a month?" Father asks, cheerfully.
" Hmm..."
" Three weeks?" He asks again, but Alexander remans silent.
" Okay, two wee-"
" What about ten days?" Alexander asks.
" Um... Yes! Yes, ten days sounds good." Father says, quickly agreeing.
" Ten days!" Lilith asks in disbelief.
" See even she cannot believe it." Father laughs .
" Good. Then you will receive the dowry tomorrow." Alexander says standing up from his seat. He almost seems disappointed." I will take my leave then. I hope to see you all soon."
" Let me escort you out. Right this way." Father says, quickly showing Alexander to the door and walking out with him.
The moment father and Alexander walk out, Lilith burst into tears.
" I thought father had truly changed his ways but he lied. He fooled us all!" Lilith sobbed and ran into her room.
" Now what?" Venus asks.
" I do not know." Says Stella.
