The Bride Of Choice
BOC CHAPTER 2 - Clarke Family
Aileen looked at herself in the mirror, looking at Helda who cut her long hair carelessly.
"You should look ugly tonight, I won't let the young master of the Braile family choose you" Helda explained with emotion inside her.
Whatever he would do to make one of his two biological children chosen to be the daughter-in-law in the wealthy family. Should Freya or Pharsa be chosen, not Aileen who is only her stepson.
And seeing one by one her hair fell to the floor, Aileen did not cry, rather the tears were all gone. He could only stare at the nanar and feel the tightness in his overwhelming chest.
Ma, I'm not gonna cry. I won't cry. Inner Aileen. His mouth had been silent for a long time, all he often did was talk to his mother from the heart.
Seeing Aileen's hair that was already like a man made Helda finally able to laugh.
"Well, like this is better for you," said Helda, she then threw the scissors away.
Then left Aileen in the smallest room in the house. Slamming the door so hard that Aileen was shocked.
Since his father died 5 years ago, Aileen's life has completely changed. She was no longer treated like the young mistress of the Clarke family, Aileen had even become like a servant in her own palace.
Shortly after Helda left, Rose entered the room. Rose is a loyal servant of the Clarke family, she always secretly meets Aileen and calms her young miss.
"Gosh miss, what's going on?" rose asked, she immediately cried when she saw Aileen's current appearance.
There was even a lot of hair on the floor.
Rose immediately approached and hugged Aileen tightly.
"It's okay Miss, it's okay. Everything will be fine" Rose explained, she cried profusely. Try to calm down but he himself who feels great sadness.
"Bi, why does Aunt Rose cry all the time? I just didn't cry" said Aileen, but the words provoked Rose's cry. He felt pity for Aileen who was already numb.
"Miss, at the end of this year you're 18. By then all of the Clarke family's possessions will fall into your hands. Then drive the bad guys out of this house."
Aileen nodded her head in response.
At the moment Helda is his guardian, which is why he can't do anything about it. Because whatever the defense, Helda will always turn the facts, say if Aileen's age is still a teenager can not make the right decision.
"Bi, will there be guests tonight?"
"Right Miss, Mrs Helda arranged an arranged marriage with the Braile family, but it will be the young master Braile who will choose his own bride, between you, Miss Freya and Miss Pharsa."
"Why should I come?"
"Because after all you are the daughter of the Clarke family and everyone knows it."
"But I don't want to go with Bi."
Rose shook her head, no matter how Aileen looked tonight but she would still make her young lady come to the dinner.
Rose was hopeful that young master Braile would choose Aileen. That marriage will get Aileen out of this hell.
"You must come Miss, whatever happens you must be present."
