“It is because I got to know I love you, and I would not regret for doing anything for you.” Aaron watches Aileen tenderly and touches her hairs softly.
Both of them stare at each other with full of love in their eyes.
Suddenly, some strong voice stops their emotional talk, “What are you doing here?”
The moment Aileen hears it, she rushes backwards to keep some distance from Aaron.
She says with unease, “Richard, are you here?”
Richard says in an irony, “My fiancée is a little bit nervous. But what are you doing just now?”
Aaron cannot be silent anymore and walks to Richard with anger, to say, “It is like what you see. We truly love each other. You, please stay away from her.”
“Ah!” Richard laughs and says in contempt, “That is what I would like to tell you. Anyway, you are so smart to come inside, very good.”
Aaron keeps aggressive to say, “You should know well she never loves you.”
Richard turns to watch and talk with Aileen, “Today we have the engagement ceremony. Right?”
Aileen is still nervous and says, “I…”
She has a lot of feelings in her mind but does not know what to do in front of the two men who almost start to fight.
Richard says, “As you are my fiancée with difficulties to make an option, I am willing to do it for you.”
As before, Aileen should regard every word he talks about to be the most touching one in the world; but now, it is totally different to her.
She tends to love Aaron within her heart. However, she neither would like to be so cruel to leave Richard alone at present. This is really a dilemma.
Aaron asks Aileen with expectation, “Is it so tough for you to tell the truth?”
She is so forced by the expectation from Aaron and Richard to make the option that she only holds her head and says nervously, “I don’t know! I don’t know!”
Then Aileen walks out. She cannot deal with it now with her mind going much messy.
Aaron tries to follow her but stopped by the body guards.
Richard warns him, “Aaron, here is nothing to do with you.”
Aaron is furious and says, “You…”
Richard continues to say with a poker face, “You’d better think it carefully. Who are you?”
“What did you say?” Aaron looks at him with caution. He never considers that Richard is such a despicable man before, “Why are you treating Aileen like that?”
“I don’t explain it to you.” Richard sneers and then orders the guards, “Arrest him.”
“You…” before Aaron finishes, he is arrested by the guards.
Richard says, “Some opponent will go with you if you would not like to stop the war.”
Then he left.
