Listen to your heart only

That evening Alexa's parents started yet another conversation she was sick of having. Her mom told her that it was time for them to think about her marriage. She at once said, "Why you?" because she thought it was her life and it was up to her to make such decisions. She forbade them to get her started. Her daddy got angry and irritated and forbade her to talk back. He added that she had to know her marriage could turn into an investment into their family's business. She also got angry and told him that she was not an investment, she was a person. And without giving them a chance to reply, she left.

The next afternoon Alexa was lying and browsing her phone. That time her mom came to her and said, "Sweetie, stop running away from this conversation." She told her to think about what she wanted and also informed her that the next day their partner's son was going to meet her. She told her to be nice to him. Alexa was bored and told her mom that she was not getting her way on that. However, at the next night's dinner, he arrived. Alexa immediately let everyone know that the attempt at matchmaking was a terrible idea.

When their business partner's son asked her if she had any hobbies, she replied that she liked knitting but didn't like people, especially the people like him. Everyone was shocked by her behavior but she was feeling good to express her actual feelings. After he left, her mom and dad scolded her. Her mom told her that no one would marry a girl who acted so rudely. She also had her answers that she didn't want to marry any of her mom's golden boys. Her dad told her that a girl from a decent family could not marry a random guy. She replied that that was exactly what she was going to do.

She immediately left the mansion and walked through the road. She thought she would marry the first guy she would run into. And she would do it just to spite her parents. It was late at night and there were not many people there. She walked about half of a mile and then found a homeless man sitting on a bench. She thought this one would do and happily went to him. She directly told him that she would pay him if he agreed to marry her. The homeless man didn't expect this kind of word from her and was shocked literally. She told him that it was a long story and asked him if it was a "yes".

She took him to an apartment and told him that she had rented that for them. She gave him a towel and told him to take a shower. She added that she would buy some new clothes for him. Then she asked him his name. "Ethan", the confused homeless man replied.

The following day, he was not looking like a hobo anymore. And she took him to her parents' home to introduce him. She told her parents that it was Ethan and she had found him on the street. She also added that they were getting married. Her parents were shocked and took her to another room. Her mom was crying and asked if she had lost her mind and added that it was a great disgrace for the family. Her dad got angry and told her not to play those games and to stop joking. She smiled and said that she was not joking; in fact, she was serious.

Soon the whole town was gossiping about the mesalliance. They were confused if the girl was seriously marrying a homeless guy. But they got married and in the meantime, Alexa and her new husband, Ethan were getting to know each other. Ethan told her about his stories. He said that he had got a degree and even started his own business, but it had gone bankrupt. And the rest of the story was known to Alexa.

The more time they spent together, the closer they grew. And soon they realized they really cared for each other. She told him that she never had thought that it would end up like that; that she would fall in love with him. He told her that he had fallen in love with her the moment they met. Soon Ethan found a job he loved, and also they got some happy news. They were going to be parents and Ethan was over the moon.

And then her parents showed up. They told Alexa to stop pretending and trick them. They also told her to get a divorce. She replied that she could not because they were expecting a baby and they loved each other. Her parents got shocked and angry. They told her that she would not get a penny from them if she didn't make it right. She also told them that they didn't need their money.

Soon the family welcomed a baby girl. They didn't care about being judged by others because they were genuinely happy together. But sometimes Alexa missed her parents' care and eventually, they came to her with an apology. Her dad said, "Sweetie, forgive us." Her mom said, "May we come in?" When her parents realized that their daughter had the right to make her own bliss, the relationship finally improved.

So, listen only to your heart!
