Ep-10 Unexpected Arrival
Aurelia stepped through the front door, her mind still buzzing with thoughts of school and the events of the day. She looked around the grand foyer, only to notice an unfamiliar face standing beside her father, William.
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(smiling) "Ah, Aurelia, my dear. This is Arthur Harrington, a young man from a prominent family. We've been discussing your future, and I believe Arthur would make a suitable match for you."
Arthur Harrington
20 years old
Son of a successful and famous billionaire
he has a strict father who wants him to do whatever he want
Aurelia's heart skipped a beat as she absorbed her father's words. The mention of an arranged marriage took her by surprise, casting a shadow of uncertainty over her thoughts.
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(trying to process) "Father, an engagement? But I... I had no idea. Shouldn't I have a say in such matters?"
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(dismissively) "Aurelia, you are the heiress to our family legacy. It is my responsibility to secure your future, and I believe Arthur would be an excellent choice. He comes from a respected family, and his accomplishments are noteworthy."
Aurelia's mind raced with conflicting emotions. She had always imagined her future filled with love, not predetermined arrangements. She longed for a connection that went beyond societal expectations.
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(defiantly) "Father, I appreciate your concern for my well-being, but love cannot be forced or orchestrated. I believe that true happiness lies in finding someone who understands and supports me, not merely a name on a social registry."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(sternly) "Aurelia, this is not up for discussion. The engagement will proceed as planned, and you will fulfill your duty to this family."
Aurelia felt her voice tremble as she tried to articulate her inner turmoil.
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(with conviction) "Father, please understand that I desire a chance to find love on my own terms. I respect our family's traditions, but my heart yearns for something more than a contractual union."
William's expression hardened, and disappointment flickered in his eyes.
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(firmly) "Aurelia, I expect you to prioritize the family's reputation and legacy. Love will come in time, but for now, you must think of the bigger picture. Consider this an opportunity for both personal growth and our family's prosperity."
Aurelia's heart sank, realizing the weight of her father's expectations. She knew that defying him would come at a great cost, but she couldn't ignore the fire within her, yearning for freedom and the chance to discover her own path.
Aurelia then rushed to her room and Arthur wanted to talk Aurelia
Arthur hesitated for a moment before gathering the courage to ask Mr. Blake for permission to speak with Aurelia privately. He knew that winning her over would require more than just a formal introduction. With a determined expression, he approached Mr. Blake.
Arthur Harrington
(respectfully) "Mr. Blake, if I may request a moment of your time. I would like to speak with Aurelia in private, with your permission."
William Blake ( Aurelia's Father )
(thoughtfully) "Yes Why not. I will grant you permission to speak with Aurelia, but I must emphasize that her well-being and happiness are of utmost importance. Any intentions you have must be genuine, and you must treat her with the respect she deserves."
Arthur Harrington
(gratefully) "Thank you, Mr. Blake. I assure you that my intentions are sincere. I genuinely care about Aurelia's happiness and will do everything in my power to understand and support her."
With Mr. Blake's permission secured, Arthur made his way towards Aurelia's room, his heart filled with a mix of nerves and hope. He knew that this conversation would be crucial in shaping their future, and he was determined to approach it with honesty and an open mind.
As Arthur knocked softly on the door, he braced himself for what lay ahead, uncertain of what Aurelia's reaction would be. All he knew was that he wanted to give her a voice in this matter and discover if their connection could transcend the expectations placed upon them.
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(curiously) "Who is it?"
Arthur Harrington
(softly) "Aurelia, it's Arthur. May I come in?"
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(hesitant) "Yes, please come in."
As Arthur entered the room, he carefully closed the door behind him. He noticed the melancholy expression on Aurelia's face, and his heart went out to her.
Arthur Harrington
(gentle tone) "Aurelia, I couldn't help but notice that you seem upset. I wanted to talk to you privately, to see how you're feeling and offer my support."
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(sighing) "Arthur, I appreciate your concern, but I find myself trapped in a situation beyond my control. My father has arranged for our engagement, and I feel suffocated by the weight of expectations."
Arthur Harrington
(sympathetic) "I understand that this must be difficult for you. However, I want you to know that I genuinely care about your happiness. I don't want our connection to be defined solely by societal norms. I want to get to know you for who you truly are, beyond the confines of this arrangement."
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(looking at Arthur) "But how can we defy the expectations of our families? How can we find a way to be together when everything seems to be working against us?"
Arthur Harrington
(reassuringly) "Aurelia, true love has a way of defying even the strongest barriers. We have the power to shape our own destiny, to make choices that align with our hearts. It won't be easy, but if we're willing to fight for our love, we can find a way."
Arthur Harrington
(gently kissing Aurelia's hand) "Aurelia, I want you to know that I will be forever faithful to you and dedicated to your happiness. I promise to take care of you, protect you, and support you in every way I can."
Aurelia Blake ( Teen )
(forcing a smile) "Thank you, Arthur. Your words are kind, and I appreciate your sincerity. It means a lot to me that you're willing to give this relationship a chance."
Deep down, Aurelia felt a pang of conflict within her heart. While Arthur's gesture and words were genuine, she couldn't deny the lingering emotions she held for Ronan. Her heart longed for a connection that went beyond duty and obligation.
