Enchanted Heart.

CHAPTER 6: HER RAVISHING BEAUTY

Ariana got to the hospital as she ran straight to her mom's ward. The doctor and nurses were in the ward . It seemed like they were trying to revive her. She just stood transfixed at the doorway as her eyes almost bulged out of the socket.

No, it can't be right?? Her mom can't just die now right??.

"Miss Paige, if your mom isnt transferred now, she may loss her life . I'm sorry but the hospital can't help you this time. We've tried our best." The doctor said as soon as he noticed Ariana's presence.

"Transfer her right away". Ariana said as the doctor seemed shocked for a moment.

"You haven't paid the bills, you need to deposit some money before we can do that , miss" The doctor said.

" I said transfer her now, I'm with the money now. Let me go and meet with the cashier" Ariana said as she left afterwards. She literally ran .

Inwardly, she was praying to God to save her mom's life.

"Sir , you sent for me" Daphne, a female employee in Maxwell's hotel said .

"I need you to take my fiancee to the mall. I would give you a debit card . You are to get her a gorgeous dinner gown and any other stuffs she might need" Maxwell said swinging his seat slightly ftom side to side.

"Ok sir," Daphne muttered and bowed before leaving.

Maxwell sighed out as he relaxed on his seat. His life was about to take a new turn. Was he making a big mistake by getting married to a woman?? A crazy one at that . What if she finds out about his night mares and uses it against him??

Will he able to handle the pressure?? Was this actually going to really clear the rumors about him?? He wasn't going to spare whoever did this to him. And that guy in the picture as well.

All these thoughts ran through his mind as he called the guards he had assigned to look for the culprit .

The guard came in bowing slightly.

"Any updates?" Maxwell asked .

"I've looked into all your business rivals, none of them seems to be the culprit. Boss" The guard said.

Maxwell remained quiet for a while as he continously tapped his desk lightly.

"I will be going for a dinner date this evening with my fiancee so you know what to do?" Maxwell asked.

"Yes boss" .

Ariana sighed out ending a call. It was actually Lucas. He called to tell her to meet Daphne in a mall to get the dinner gown.

She was delighted that her mother has been transferred to another hospital and is now receiving treatment .

One problem in her life solved.

Now her life was about to take a new turn. She was going to get married to a billionaire. A billionaire who everyone assumes to be a gay. She was to help in clearing his name and in return she would get paid. Though, she felt she acted cheap but situations and circumstances surrounding her made her act rashly.

"That grumpy fool" She cursed under her breath as she left the hospital.

She hailed a cab as she got in . She got to the mall and Daphne recognized her. Lucas had actually sent a picture of Ariana to Daphne.

"You must be Ariana right??" Daphne asked as she walked towards Ariana offering her hands for an handshake.

"Yes, I am and you are Daphne" Ariana muttered and Daphne nodded.

"Yes , so let's get in and doll you up a little. Order from my boss". Daphne said as Ariana chuckled lightly.

They got in and they first went to the evening dress section of the mall. Ariana wowed at all the dresses. She felt like she should just purchase everything in the mall. They were all gorgeous.

Ariana selected a black sequence flay gown but Daphne felt it wasn't good enough.

She was actually looking for a gown that would showcase elegance as a billionaire's wife to be. A gown that would accentuate her curves. A gown that would leave her boss breathless when he sets his eyes on her.

Daphne glanced at Ariana as she chuckled at her cuteness. Ariana's face palmed as she starred at the dresses pointing to them and saying " Oh! I should buy that" every five seconds.

Daphne found this act of hers funny.

Ariana seemed to be in her own world as she was grinning from ear to ear . The dresses were really pretty.

Her eyes caught a figure who seemed to be starring at her suspiciously. She blinked to be sure that she wasnt hallucinating.

She returned her gaze back to where she saw the person but he wasn't any longer there. Her brows furrowеd in confusion. Was she really hallucinating? Why would someone be watching her? Who's was she anyway ? It seemed like the person disappeared into thin air.

Daphne flickered her forehead lightly thereby gaining her attention.

"What were you thinking, I've been calling your name". Daphne asked as she pointed to a gown.

It was a rich, jewel-toned emerald green, reminiscent of a luxurious velvet fabric made from a luxurious silk or satin material, with a subtle sheen that catches the light. It had a classic neck line, framing the face and accentuating the decotellage. It had long flowing sleeves with a slight bell shape, adding drama and movement to the overall design . The dress was indeed a stunning masterpiece.

Ariana's mouth hung open as she starred at the dress. She was lost in its beauty and elegance as she began imagining how she would look like in this dress. She would be breathtakingly hot in it , no doubt.

One more important thing about the dress is that it came with a matching silver heels and a silver handbag. It looked like the dress was specially made for her.

Daphne paid for the dress and other things Ariana bought . The attendant packaged it as they left the mall.

Ariana pushed the door knob as she entered her apartment with the stuffs she bought. Lucas texted her telling her to be ready by 7:30pm and a car would be sent to pick her up. She glanced at the wall clock, it was still 7:00pm.

Oh! gracious thirty minutes more. She thought as she got into the bathroom.

In few minutes, she came out of the bath as she dressed up and sat in front of her dressing mirror to apply makeup. She was naturally good at that.

When she was all through , she checked herself in the mirror. She seemed lost starring at her beauty. It seemed like a different person entirely. She stood up as she turned sideways posing like she was about to take a picture.

Well she wasn't going to waste this chance.

She thought as she took pictures with her phone keeping it in mind to post it on her IG blog later.

The night would be a long one.

The blaring of a horn could be heard outside as Ariana picked her hand bag and her phone heading outside.

Maxwell sat quietly at the back seat in the car as he went through his phone. He had actually ordered his guards to hint the paparazzi about the evening dinner in which he was planning to ask her to fake marry him.

The rumors about him were now leaving people confused. No one knew what to believe again. He had employed a lot of female workers today which had been the main reason why most people believed the rumor to be true.

Another rumor trending now was that Maxwell was about to get engaged . The news was mind blowing. This was really going to change a lot of people's mind about him.

At that moment, he looked up as he starred through the window . Ariana came out as she catwalked elegantly to the car.

Maxwell's breath hitched at that moment as he starred at her breathaking beauty. Time seemed to be slow at that moment as Maxwell beheld her ravishing sight.

Her dress was a breathaking floor length evening gown in a rich jewel-toned emerald green. The fitted bodice showcased her slender yet curvy figure as the dress accentuated her curves at the right places giving off a sexy vibe. Her beautiful poreclain skin shown with a subtle, golden glow, framed by long, luscious dark hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her eyes shown bright, sparkling sapphires that shown with warmth and intelligence.

She stands tall, with confident grace, her shoulders back and head held high. Her slender neck and shoulders are adorned with a delicate, sparkling necklace that adds a touch of whimsy to her overall elegance.

Maxwell stepped out of the car, he had to make this look real. His enemies could be lurking around wanting to find an evidence to jeopardize his plans.

He thought as he strolled to where Ariana stood. He couldn't deny the fact that he was also breathakingly hot due to the way Ariana starred at him.

He got to her as he stretched his hands "Shall we??".

Ariana starrred at him, her brows furrowing in confusion. She quickly got the message as she placed her hands on his as he led her carefully to the car.

He had wanted to tell her how dazzling hot she looked but on a second thought he dismissed the idea as soon as it popped on his head.

They got in as the driver drove to the restaurant where they were having the dinner outing.

The restaurant had been booked for private use by Maxwell which means, they were the only guests present. The restaurant had transformed into a romantic dinner date as a single couple dinner table was positioned at the centre with several rose petals placed on it. A romantic music was also playing on the stereo.
