forcefully arranged

Moving in

Ella's pov :

"He is a changed man, I promise you daddy." I assured once again

"But what if he changes back?" my dad stubbornly argued. I can clearly say that I inherited my stubbornness from him.

"He deserves a second chance." I strictly said

"Why?" my dad tiredly questioned

"Because I love him." I announced and saw the features of my dad softening.

"Princess, I am just trying to protect you. I already regret forcing you into marrying him. You suffered a lot and it is all because our rush and unwise choices. We married you both and never asked about your feelings." My dad regretfully said as his eyes filled with sadness

"So don't do the same mistake and ignore our love by keeping us apart" I pleaded

"But he is not the prince charming that I wanted you to marry." My dad persistently argued again

"Daddy, I am no princess too. I am stubborn and too independent. I don't need a prince daddy. I need a friend, a shoulder to lean on, and a loving protective heart. And Xander is all of those. I know that at first he didn't act like so but I forgave him because you and his parents caused his reactions." I defended my husband remembering the memories of our first date

"What if he hurts you again?" my dad questioned with a daring look

"Then I will ask for a reason because Xander won't do that out of the blue." I answered almost immediately. I truly do trust Xander.

"Why do you trust him so much?" my dad sounded so doubtful of Xander but a small smile was forming on his lips and I knew that his old respect for my husband is trying to erupt.

"Because he is protective of me, because when I cry I see pain in all his features and when I was sick he took care of me. Daddy he got in an accident because he wanted to reach me before Asher can steal a kiss from me. Dad you may not trust him, but I trust him with all my heart. I can see love and passion in his green orbs and whenever he looks at me I see pure happiness. I may sound like a love struck teenage girl but daddy I truly love him and I am sure that he loves me too." I ended my speech while a happy tear escaped and ran on my cheek as I remembered all my journey with Xander; all our ups and downs, our fights and make outs, our frienemies relations and all the sweet memories such as our first kiss.

"Go pack" my mum uttered and I just looked at her amazed waiting for a conformation

"Go Ella, Xander's mum already talked to me and begged me because he woke them up last night after your date and kept nagging and begging them to convince us. She told me that she never saw him in such a state he was acting like he finally found his saving grace. He was acting like a teenage boy who just had his first crush. Go to him Ella and I will deal with your dad." My mom promised and I felt joy overwhelming me so I ran to hug her and my dad

"Go and be happy princess but tell him that I am keeping an eye on him." my dad playfully threatened

"You are the best! Thank you guys so much! I love you." I exclaimed as I ran towards the stairs so I can pack my things.

I didn't tell Xander that my parents agreed to me moving in with him. I wanted to surprise him. He called me to check up on me while I was working and I just playfully/ stubbornly answered him as usual. I was daydreaming about his reaction all the day long. I couldn't wait to see how joy will fill his eyes.

He wanted to pick me up at 6:00pm from my house but I told him that I will come over because I need to talk to his mum about something and he agreed.
