The beginning of The Story.

An ugly duckling became the most beautiful swan that every duck in the pond envied. But no one knew what the swan had to go through to get to where she is now.

Arian is the ugly duckling in this story but will she ever become the swan she wishes to be?

Being fat isn't what Arian wanted to be all her life. But what happens when two families try to bring two incomparable people together?

She was overweight because of the way she used to eat. It all started with a small bite then it turned into a big one.

Arranged marriage is common among families who know that their kids will never disappoint them.

Arian was madly in love with her father's best friend's son Theo. Cliche right?

Ever wondered what would it feel like to marry the love of your life? Arian looked like a princess even though she didn't feel like one.

The question is why?

Well, Arian isn't the typical girl you see on Instagram or even Snapchat.

She hated the way she looked. Being fat made her an easy target for bullies in school and even at home. Having a sister who looked like a model while she looked homeless wasn't something that any girl would want to have.

When it came down to who was marrying Theo Walcott, Arian was the perfect candidate for him. Being in the same business as he is and knowing the family business made her a perfect wife for Theo.

Today was the wedding of Theo and Arian. But instead of a lavish wedding that their parents wanted, Theo didn't want to get embarrassed by the fact that he married a fat woman whom he didn't love.

Arian's sister Veronica looked like a model with every man looking at her but what's beauty without brains?

Being a top model, she knew that she would get any man she would want to have but she wanted Theo.

"Do You Theodore Christopher Walcott take Arian Mariana Foster to be your loyal wedded wife?".

The judge asked Theo who couldn't even look at his bride as he was ashamed of the way she was.

Fat.

Arian knew that Theo might never love her or even look at her as a husband looked at his wife. She also knew that Theo married her to please his family.

"I do".

Behind them were their parents who were happy to have their kids married and the two companies emerged as one. But Veronica hated Arian because of getting married to someone that she fell in love with.

She fell in love with him because of how rich he was. And all the money he is to inherit.

"Do You Arian Mariana Foster take Theodore as your loyal wedded husband?".

"I do".

Arian replied with a huge smile on her face but it became a frown when she saw Theo looking at her disgustingly.

"I now pronounce you Man and Wife. You may kiss your bride".

Kissing wasn't something that I wanted especially the way she is. Unlike her sister who looks like a hot model.

Theo turned to his wife and kissed her. He felt something in that kiss but in Theo's mind, he will never love someone who looks like a pig.

Why did I even say yes to this marriage when she isn't someone I want to spend the rest of my life with? She isn't someone you could take on business dinners and introduce to your friends as your wife. These were the thoughts running through Theo's mind as they walked towards their parents waiting for them.

When it was Veronica's turn to congratulate them, she faked her smile and hugged her sister, Arian.

They had a small reception but no press was invited this was what Theo wanted. It wasn't something he wanted to share with the world that he was marrying a woman like Arian.

Their parents gifted them a big and beautiful house that had four bedrooms and baths. A master bedroom and Arian's dream garden at the back of the house.

"This is for you from all four of us. We hope to have grandkids..."

"There will always be time for that", interrupted Theo who looked uncomfortable talking about it when the woman he married looked like a huge balloon that was about to explode.

There were smiles, and laughter from their families but the atmosphere between Arian and Theo didn't look so happy.

As time passed by, Arian grew to know everything about Theo including what he likes to eat every day.

This was the start of a new married life at least that was what Arian thought. But that changed during the coming weeks of being married to Theo.

Arian knew that something was happening between her sister and her husband but when one is in love they usually turn blind to what is right in front of them.

He became someone who didn't care if he hurt her or even wanted to share a room with her. Arian being the patient and loving wife, tries everything just to keep Theo happy but that doesn't work as Theo sees her as nothing but a waste of space.

"What are you wearing? Go and change that. I don't want my friends to see how awful you look and how fat you are", he insults her when he sees that she is wearing a dress that isn't too tight and loose for her. But what Theo wants Theo gets.

Arian hated it but the love she has for him overlooked the fact that he keeps on insulting her every chance he gets. This was normal for her.

"Okay, let me change." She went into her room trying to stop tears from coming out of her eyes but that was an impossible thing to do.

Theodore didn't care about her feelings, he didn't want the marriage in the first place. He liked being a playboy who slept with every girl he met at the club.

Arian didn't want to embarrass him so she just told the maid to tell him that she wasn't feeling well.

Happiness comes from inside you, bestie. Don't let a man or even anyone tell you otherwise. Be the person you want to be. Don't let fear hold you back. These were her best friend's words before she left for Spain.

As Theo was having fun with his friends, he noticed that Veronica was there with her friends. His eyes scanned her from top to bottom.

Theo noticed that she was wearing a very tight red dress that made her look sexy.

"Damn, she is hot".

One of Theo's friends started talking about Veronica. This made Theo stand up and walk towards her.

"Fancy seeing you here".

Veronica turned around as soon as she heard his voice. She has been watching him for the past thirty minutes. She was just waiting to make a move on Theo.

"I'm here having fun just like you", She then looked behind him to see if Arian was there. "I don't see her...."

"Let's forget about her. Let me buy you a drink and go dance". Theo interrupts her as he doesn't want to ruin his evening talking about Arian.

Meanwhile, Arian is at home trying to keep herself from breaking down as it was something she thought wasn't going to happen.

She had to be strong for herself and for the sake of her parents who wanted the best for her future. But they didn't think that Theo would be someone who bullied and belittled her.

"You should get some rest. You know how he is, he will be late as usual", one of the maids tells her as she knows that Arian would stay awake the entire night just to wait up for Theo.

The sun was rising but Arian was still in the living room curled up sleeping.

"Poor girl, she doesn't deserve this, " says Mary, sadly shaking her head.

Theo spends the entire night with Veronica without having to feel guilty that he has a wife waiting for him at home.

"Morning, beautiful", he says as he turns to kiss Veronica.

I finally have you where I want you and there's no way I am letting you go now. Not for anyone. These were Veronica's thoughts as she knew that he would have to divorce Arian.

Veronica continues to seduce Theo to get what she wants even if it is at the cost of her sister's marriage and happiness. Arian has always been the fatty one in her eyes, the one who had her father's attention, and his affection.

Arian could smell her sister's perfume on her husband's clothes but to Theo, she had no right to question him or anything he did. It is his life.

Then it happened after a few months of being married Theo got his wish and so did Veronica.

Arian had finally had enough of the mistreatment she received from Theo and her sister.

"Hey, Mandy. Can I come and live with you and Mark?", she asks her childhood best friend who lived in Spain with her husband.

Mandy and Arian have been friends from the first day they met in kindergarten.

"What happened? Did that douche bag do something to you?", Mandy asks her.

Arian explained to her everything that was happening and what she found out about her sister and her husband. Mandy knew that Veronica would try and take Theo away from Arian as she always did with any other guy.

"Well, sweetheart you can come and stay with us forever if you want. Besides I miss you a lot. I will ask Mark to book a ticket for you just let me know the date and I will let him know".

Arian thanked her and started preparing everything for her to leave. First, she needed the divorce papers and she needed a few things before leaving the hell hole she knew for almost a year.

A few weeks had passed, and everything she planned was ready the only thing she needed was her plane ticket.

"Mandy, Could Mark book a ticket for Wednesday?", Arian asks her best friend.

"I have a better Idea. I will ask Liam. He is Mark's business partner to lend you his private plane...."

"Mandy, no don't do that. Besides, I don't want anyone to know where I am going, please".

"Okay, the ticket will be booked for Wednesday afternoon. Is that okay with you?", Mandy asks Arian.

"Yes and Mandy thank you for being there and for everything".

Arian knew that it wouldn't matter to them if she was there or if she left.

She was running away from them but she needed to get away from them to be with the people who would lift her instead of putting her down.

The pictures in her hands were the pictures that someone sent her. The pictures contained her husband and sister in bed.

She felt the need to cry but cry for who? Herself?

The pushover Arian doesn't exist anymore.

The day came for her to leave, she placed the divorce papers along with pictures in Theo's study where he could easily find them.

"I will miss you, Maa'm", Mary tells her.

"I know and I will miss you too. And you can call me Arian", she tells her hugging her.

"I have to go now. I guess this is goodbye".

Arian walked out of the house with her head held up high. She waved at the maids who helped her when she needed it.

"To the airport, please. Thank you", she told the taxi driver.

"You need to learn to love yourself to have a better future and a better life for yourself".
