Absolutely Love.

CHAPTER 4

~~Aria~~

The library is my comfort place, I got into reading because of my dad he is the reason Tory calls me a bookworm, I only show that side of me around her.

"The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo, good choice Honey" I heard my dad say behind me, "yeah Tory said it's a good book and I have to agree, for once she gave me a good book recommendation" dad chuckled.

I didn't take my eyes off of the book, he sits in front of me quietly, "Aria we have to talk about something important" I look at him setting my book down.

"What is it" I say with a smile on my face.

"Your mother wanted to talk to you about this, but it's better if I do it.... We have a marriage proposal for you and..." he looked so flustered and nervous, "what dad?".

"Cupcake, I said yes" I sat there trying to process what my dad just said "what?.." I say quietly, "they are a good family and there son is one of the most successful men known in our high society he would make your reputation bet-", "no dad he would make your better not mine" I say and I stand up, anger fills my heart, how could he do this he's my dad.

How could he just sell me off to this man I have never meet I am he's daughter, and he knows that he means a lot to me.

"You just need to sign some papers for the agreement to be made" he said as he handed me a paper, I roll my eyes, "please take it, I can't decline right now, it would only put a target behind my back, please just at least read it"I hated seeing my dad beg so I just took the paper.

I read through it but a name stops me Ace Vanderpool, the man I was fantasizing about last week, I continue reading, I grab a pen and sign.

I hand it to him, "here dad, I am doing this just for you but it doesn't mean I'm not upset"I said in a low tone, "Cupcake, you can take your time I don't mind, the Vanderpool's can wait trust me" I don't want him to know that I don't want them to wait.

I want that man.

"Dad just take it" he finally takes it quietly, and I walk out of the library with joy sparkling in me, I might be overjoyed , but who wouldn't be overjoyed to marry a rich, gang-leader (according to Tory), single dad in his 30s and the best looking body and face a man can have.

"Aria!" I hear my dad call, "the wedding is in 3 months, we will be hosting a party to meet his family and you two to meet next week".

I go to my room and starting jumping on the bed like it the best day of my life.

I sit down then call Tory, "Tory you wont believe it", "what?" She said.

"I am getting married to the man of my Dreams" I say excited, "who Jamie Dornan?", "no you stupid, I mean Ace... Ace Vanderpool".

"What?!?" She yells, "what, I told you I was interested in his and his body and face and-" I say, "okay I get it, but you accepted the proposal?".

"Of course I did"I say happy, "uh you stupid bitch"she replied, "thank you, anyway we have a party to host, I'm going shopping to find a dress so bye, love you", "bye you fucking stupid bi-" I hang up the phone and got really to go shopping.

I am getting fucking married to ACE VANDERPOOL, god I will be the best step mother.
