" Lydia there's something I need to tell you " Ethan stared into my eyes his blue eyes filled with something I couldn't describe .
I set my rag down starring up at him "What is it ? " I ask and he licks his pink lips starring down at the floor then peering up at me through his lashes .
" I —"
" Lydia ! Is it true that your marrying Seth Madden?!" Flashes and flashes explode making me blind .
After minutes of trying to get the paparazzi's out my manager managed to call the cops and they sorted it out .
Ethan was quiet as we headed back to the kitchen to make some orders .
" Hey what were you going to say ?—"
" It's nothing " be brushed off coldly leaving the kitchen area .

" How does the paparazzi's know my name ?" I snapped at Seth as he appeared at my door step .
He sighs heavily " My mother may had slipped your name during and interview " he says .
I groaned and leave the house closing the door not wanting Olivia to hear since she's asleep .
Ever since her and Andrew's break up she's been coped up in her room all week .
From what I heard Andrew went off to London to Maryann's other fashion company and deiced to work there from now on.
" We have a PhotoShoot tomorrow at 8PM sharp be there "
" I can't I have work tomorrow " I crossed my arms as he leans against the door way his face blank .
" Well cancel " he orders and I gawked .
" If you excuse me not everyone is wiping there ass with millions of dollars , I have bills to pay if you've noticed —"
" Fine I'll reschedule what time you get off work "

" Five—"
" I'll send my driver to you " he fixed his tie .
" What are we doing a snoot for anyways ?" I ask as he was about to turn to leave .
" For the vogue magazine , then we go to an interview and announce our engagement "
I placed my hand on my forehead
" This is all to much for me to handle right now " I say taking deep breaths .
" We made a deal Lydia " he says and turns to leave .
What have I gotten myself into . .

" Ethan talk to me " I say as I entered his apartment .
He ignored me and went to the kitchen pulling out a carton of milk .
" What did I do ?" I ask and he shrugs .
" Nothing " he sips his milk averting his eyes .
After Seth left the apartment 20 minuets ago I decided to head to Ethan's house because he's been MIA and it's been bothering me .
" Ethan talk to me " I ask desperately , Ethan was always close to me ever since I worked at Bristro . He helped me around when no one was there to help , and he was always nice to me .
He walked to the coffee table and picked up a magazine where there was a picture of me and Seth .
" How come you didn't tell me you were engaged to Seth Madden ? " he says a hint of anger in his voice as pain flashed across his baby blue eyes
I sighed sitting on the sofa , I ran my hands through my hair " It's a long complicated story " I say and he sits down starring at me .
" I've got all day "

" Are you ready ?" The woman asks me as the make up artist does finishing touches .

I sighed heavily " Ready as I'll ever be" I tell her and she speaks into the little mic and leaves .
The make artist leaves and I stand in front of the mirror looking at myself .
I was wearing a dark green off the shoulder Calvin Klein skin tight dress it had green jewels going across the chest area .
My makeup was done in a smoky color making my green eyes vibrant , and my hair was done in curly waves .
I leave the dressing room heading towards the backstage where I see Seth talking to some producers .
We were going to have an interview with The Robbin Show , the top m show host in the U.S.
" Hello ladies and gentlemen " I hear Robbins voice as the crowd cheers .
" You guys all know Seth Madden the billionaire heartthrob " she tells the crowd and I hear a ear piercing cheer from girls .
" Well he's here today ! With a special lady friend who's name is Lydia Cruz " the crowd cheers again and I hear my heart thump in my chest .
I'm not a fan of being the center of attention .
" Were going to announce our engagement " Seth whispers in my ear and I swallowed the lump in my throat .
" Please welcome Seth Madden and his Cinderella Lydia Cruz!" The crowd goes wild as we walk out backstage .
As we reached on stage sweat began to form as I watched the crowd .
I suddenly felt like I needed to puke .
" Hey guys " Robbins gives us each a hug and we sit down on the leather love seat .
" How are you guys ?" She smiles flashing her pearly whites .
" Were fine and you ?" Seth flashed her a fake wide smile .
" I'm good , so this is what the fans wanna know and I wanna know to so . . Is there something going on between you two ?" Robbin smirked it glanced at Seth seeing him giving me a reassuring look .
" To answer your answer yes " I grinned and the crowd went wild .
" Wow ! Never to this day would I imagine Seth settling down , so how did it started ?" Robbin ask totally interested .
After talking for a while Seth cleared his throat " We have something to tell to the fans and family " Seth says he turns to me holding my hands and looks back at Robbin .
Seth gave me a little nod as he slipped the ring on my finger .
The crowd screams and Robbin gasp .
" Is that a ring I just saw ?" Robbin asks and I smiled . . Well attempted to .
" Were engaged "
