Chapter 50

It was Saturday and Aria was rushing out of the house when Alice sent her a message. It said she should come to a hall just near their office.

"It's a freaking Saturday!" Aria groaned. Saturdays were supposed to be her free days but she needed money for her father's treatment. Maybe Alice would lend her some.

She got to the hall and she was met with the shock of her life.

"Will you marry me Ariana?" Ethan asked as he stood on the cold Pavement.

The hall was beautifully decorated with lights and love balloons with a little bit of roses spread around the hall.

She couldn't believe him.

Ethan stared at her surprised face, he tried to decipher her emotions, it seemed chocked and confused at the same time, he searched for something else. He searched for happiness in her eyes but found none, maybe the other emotions masked them. It had always been hard to read her emotions.

Ariana looked at him as she moved back, the crowd had already gathered outside ready to congratulate them in the hall.

"Aria?" He called as tears started to flow from her eyes as she moved back from him.

"I can't believe you!" She said in tears.

"Yes baby it is true I want to marry you," Ethan. Said with a smile.

"No...." She whispered. "No....No No No!!!!" She yelled before she approached Him.

She grabbed the ring from his hands before she tossed it away across the room .

Ethan looked at her. It was his turn to be surprised, it was probably the shock that was getting to her.

"Ariana..." He called as he stood up.

He walked to the other side of the room and picked up the diamond ring.

"Why did you throw away the ring?" He asked already panicked.

"Ethan why did I throw away the ring? Are you asking me that question? " Ariana said as her teary eyes twitched.

"Is it because of the ring? I'll get you another one if you don't like the diamond ring?" He asked as he watched her at the corner of the room.

Another diamond ring —Ariana said to herself.

How much will a diamond cost, would it be enough to send to her mother for her father's treatment? Should she accept the ring and pay back when she had the money.

But it was a diamond ring, where was she going to find the money to pay back for it.

Questions started to flow through her head as she contemplated on whether to take the ring or leave it. If she did take the ring she would be able to sell it and pay for her father's bill.

But that would also mean she would have to marry Ethan in exchange for a diamond ring at some point it felt as if she was trading herself for a diamond ring. But if she looked at it on the bright side for her self she will get to save a soul.

But her dad will not be able be happy that she had to practically sell herself to save him. Then a thought popped up in her head, The work loan.

Since she had started working for Alice she had never taken a work loan. That was the only option she had if she wanted to help her mother where she was.

"I don't fucking want your ring, keep it to yourself. I don't want it because I won't marry you Ethan! Keep your money and your diamond ring!" She yelled in tears.

"But Aria I love you!" He replied as he approached her.

"I can't live without you! We are meant to be together! What happened to us?" He whispered the last part.

"Us? What happens to Us? Us, ended the day I walked out of your apartment while you were fucking witch that called herself my best friend Ethan!" She yelled before she pushed him away from her.

"Sofia? It ended immediately you left the room! She is a thing of the past I want you Ariana please don't do this to me! I promised I'll never do it again if it makes you unhappy," Ethan promised.

"Ha!" She exclaimed before she laughed.

"Why are you laughing baby," Ethan said as he tried to hold her.

"Don't fucking touch me," Ariana said as she pushed him away again.

"You won't do it again right?"

"Yes I promise I won't. Just take me back, accept my ring Aria!" He whispered desperately.

"The number of times you told me you won't do it again will by pass the numbers of letter in the sentence 'I won't do you it again', ever since we were young you cheated and cheated and I still forgave you but it seemed like it had grown on you... that I could just forgive you when you feel like I would, then three days later you cheat again on another girl in the same place every time, you didn't even care if I came in or not you didn't Even bother to do it in an hidden place!" Ariana yelled as she looked at him in the eyes.

"Why, Ethan why did you even do it in the first place? what did I not ever give you? If it was sex you wanted Ethan I would have given it to you!" Ariana yelled.

The people outside had started to retreat from the area. They all looked shocked and surprised at Ariana's words. It was better they didn't meddle deep into their business.

"I just wanted to prove that even if I slept with a dozen women I still want you every day every second and every hour!" Ethan said.

"Well Ethan that is a fucked up way to prove your love to a person! I loved you anyways no matter what you did but you Ethan! You went too far!" She said angrily as she poked him on the chest.

"Aria I love you!"

"Ethan I fucking hate you! Fuck you Ethan! I hope your car breaks down in a dark alley! I hope you never find love again! I hope they break your heart a million times over and you feel the way I felt each time I found you cheating! Remember karma is a bitch! I hope she bites your balls Ethan! I hate you, I freaking hate you!" Ariana yelled like a crazed person before she ran out of the hall.

Lisa was among the invited guests, so she waited for her friend. All the shouting had made Ariana drowsy, luckily for her Lisa had decided to wait for her at the corner.

Lisa hugged Ariana immediately she got close to her without even asking her what happened.

"Let's get you home first no need to explain," Lisa said before they hopped into the Uber that brought her there.
