Chapter 3
I was finally ready, Vicki picked out a red Dress with a lace around the neck area. It hugged my body from every part and has a slit from my knees downward, my hair was put in a low bun while allowing some strands to fall on my face, my red hair look more darker than ever. After the hair and makeup, which was nicely done, a Smokey eyes with a red lipstick making me daring, and ready to go.
" You definitely look hot, too bad I don't swing the other way but damn girl...." Vicki said smiling at me " I'm so sure you're going to blow his mind away".
" Thanks to you, thou I doubt I'll be blowing anyone's mind out ". I said smiling
" I'm definitely sure you would, you still haven't told me the name of the guy yet" she said, shoving me lightly " like seriously, you had an whole week to tell me about the marriage but decide to tell last night" she sighed dramatically.
" I know, I'm sorry. I just needed a moment to wrap my head around it and get use to the idea of getting married to a total stranger".
" I get it, but you need to tell me the details when you get back, love you babe " she said.
" love you too babe, thanks again for the transformation" I called back to her departing figure, stopping her on her track .
" No mention babe, you are a natural beauty" she said, throwing a kiss at my direction " talk to ya later".
I grabbed my phone and other necessities, I slipped into my silver stilettos and stopped to check myself on the mirror and I was pleased with what I saw before walking out of the room.
The ride to our destination was filled with uncomfortable silence and I refused to say a word even when my mom gushed about how beautiful I looked all I could manage to do was grumble out a "thank you". To say I was nervous was an understatement, I couldn't help but wonder who he is and how he looks like even when given his picture, I still couldn't bring myself to look at it.
I got interrupted with my internal battle when my dad announce our arrival, I turned to look out the window and I was wowed by what I saw. Calling it an house is an understatement, I know our house was more like a mansion but this tops it all. it's more of a castle as it stood tall, skinny and freakishly beautiful.
The chauffeur came to take my dad's car, we were directed towards the entrance of the house when the door was opened by a lady in her sixties, she had grey hair and a loving smile which was so welcoming.
" Hello, you must be the Dewitt's, I'm Selena please do come in. " She said as a smile grazed her face.
" Thank you so much Selena" my mum replied and my dad nodded at her in acknowledgement, while my brother and I smiled at her.
She directed us to a huge room, which I assume must be the sitting room, we sat declining her offer for any refreshment cause I might throw up due to nervousness.
We turned to the direction of the stairs when we heard lightly footsteps coming down, a woman almost the same age as Selena came to view, she looked kind of familiar but I couldn't pinpoint where I say her from and I shrug it off due to nervousness which kept on building up due to suspense
" Ariella, it's so nice to see you again" my mum said standing up to hug her like they were long lost friends.
"I missed you too" the woman who I assume to be Mrs. Reeves answer with a smile that reached her eyes, she turned to my dad pulling him also to a hug which he accepted with a smile also on his face that shocked me cause I've never seen my dad like this except with families, I turned to my brother just to know if he could also see what I was seeing or are my eyes playing tricks on me but my brother doesn't seem shock like I was instead he looked so Happy.
okay....hold up, what the hell is going on cause I seem to missing something here.
I couldn't help but think that they are keeping something from me and all I could do was wonder what it was.
I have never been this stunned before, after saying pleasantries with Ariella which consists of my brother get bone crushing hugs and Ariella complementing on how beautiful I looked, we were ushered to the dining room for dinner.
The dinner was awkward.
Well, at least for me because everyone seems to be having fun except for me as I battle with myself while picking on my food though delicious I still couldn't stop thinking about what this marriage might bring and how unprepared I am, only joining in on the conversation when directed to me.
" I'm so sorry that Giovanni couldn't attend Dinner with us, he had to attend a meeting in Italy and won't be back till three weeks from now, he sent his apology." Ariella said with an apology smile on her face.
" I understand, I'm sure the Meeting was important" my mum said softly smiling at her
" So let's talk about the wedding, when is it going be " my dad asked making my heart beat faster than I could ever imagine.
" Oh, I talked to Giovanni this morning since he couldn't be around and he was okay with it being on the 25th of this month, which is three weeks from now" Airline gushed " I'm a little sad that the two won't be able to meet before the wedding" she said with a little pout.
And the conversation continue after getting my confirmation like I have a choice, I just want this dinner to be over.
