everyone become speechless by old Hamilton's decision what does he saw on her? what's wrong with him ? from all of girls in the world why did he chose her?
this was everyone's question including Lionel. to be honest he was so so angry. how could his own grandpa did him something like this? first he decide the woman he is going to marry without his will and now he is marrying him off to some woman who refused him. he is such a terrible man.
Lionel scowled. his oh so handsome face was darkened, paled with anger. he clenched his fists and bump on the dinning table so hard, his hand become white.
everyone in the table looked him with shocked, feared and pity eyes. this doesn't give Lionel any comfort so he stood and stormed off. nobody says nothing coz they know how terribly tough man he is.

Ariel can't stop recalling the words that Amy said to her as she goes to the kitchen to get some water for her, she heads in and heard whispering voices as she takes step more closer she realized that the maids were the one who are talking.
" sister Sara is amazing woman" the one murmured.
"she is. she is working without any payment besides she is treating Tris more better than before, she said that stress and anxiety are really bad to his state since he on critical time" the other one added whose name is Maddy .
"yes she is much better than his sister " the first one continued.
"what did she did? poor thing she doesn't know any thing that's going on here" madam marina the oldest and the senior maid said in pity tone.
"no! she is wicked girl . she know what is happening on the family and how hard it is for her sick and poor brother yet she refused to accept the proposal. "
"what if she doesn't want?" another maid said.
"there is no want at this time only willing, because of her we are going to lose our job, the family is going to lose their wealth and Tris . but she is still talking about her want, need. what a jerk" Maddy was furious.
"shut up and take the breakfast to Tris " madam marina ordered. Maddy takes the breakfast and was about to leave she saw Ariel her face become white with shock.
Ariel gets in with broken and darkened face." give it to me" she stretched her arms to take the dishes from her.
Maddy swallowed and give it to her without saying anything. Ariel take it and left with bitter face.
Ariel feel like crying. why is everyone accusing her? what does she did to make this family miserable ? she was always hard working, in order to proud her father. she was well-known for her good personality, her amazing behavior. why does the world turn on her?
she reached to Tris's room and she collect herself then She faked a smile and press the door knob then she get in holding the breakfast.
"good morning " she try to look good in front of him since he is not in a good situation stress and anxiety will worse his poor state.
"good morning sis" he accept her with warm smile and it somewhat touched her.
"ummm! you look good today. and when you have your breakfast ..." she put the dishes aside and "you will be more good" she pinches his cheeks.
"yes, I will" he said confidently.
suddenly his face reaction changed to serious "sis" he grabbed her hands and make her to sit.
" I have heard about everything ,sis" he paused.
Ariel don't know what to do. is he also think that she is careless for this family ? does he also think that she is the one who darkened his bright dreams?
he continued " and you're not responsible for any of this. it's their own problem. and about my situation it will be God's decision whether I die or live, okay" he take his hands to her face and rubbed it.
"my dear I always want you to smile, don't forget you're my strength and power"
Ariel eyes welled she gather her sense fighting not to cry and
"who is the old one you or me ? when did you grown?!!"
both of them smiled and she fed him repeating the words "I will do anything for this guy" in her mind.
"good boy" she said stroking his head like a baby.
she didn't stay any longer after she fed him, she takes the tray and left from his room. Ariel looked like she was ready to face everything that came against her deary brother even that thing is herself.
she called one of the maid and hand her the tray and she asked her about father.
"he is in his study room, I think he is leaving soon" the maid replied honestly.
"okay then" Ariel heads to her father's study room, to accept her life statement.
she knocks the door without any hesitation. "come in" her dad's voice come along.
she opened the door and showed her neck first. her father's eyes brightened upon seeing her.
"Ariel my dear, what brought you here?" he asked in soft tone that touches her he said as she gets in.
without rounding the bush she exclaimed "I have accepted the proposal dad!" she was completely avoiding his eyes.
"why so suddenly ? yesterday you didn't agree how that come today? did your mother or your sisters talk you? I mean were they harsh on you ?" with out knowing it Sebastian asked many questions out of worry.
"no!! you know me dad, nobody can change my mind unless I want " Ariel was confident.
"but my dear ..." before he could finished she butted in
" announce them too and let's get married as soon as possible " she left the room.
when Ariel got out from the study room she bump to her mother. "oh! my dear daughter!
