Aria's POV
As expected, there were murmurs everywhere. Every camera was facing towards me and more pictures were taken. It took everything in me not to breakdown and start crying, and tell everyone the truth, but I couldn't do that. Even though my father and I had our differences, I could never humiliate him in front of everyone.
"Aria, what are you saying? You do love me, right? This is all just a joke, right?" Axel said as he took my hands in his.
I swallowed the huge lump that was in my throat before answering. "No! I don't love you and I won't marry you!" I said as I snatched my hands from his.
"No Aria please, enough with the jokes. I get it, this is just a wedding prank." Axel said as he started to laugh nervously.
"No Axel, this is not a joke. I can't marry you."
"No. No. This can't be." Axel said as tears started to fall down his cheeks. It really broke me to see him like that but I had no choice.
"Axel, calm down." Aiden said as he held Axel's shoulder.
