"Here, sorry I take longer time to prepare the meal." Riley apologizes as he looks at the time, the lunch break will soon be over"It's nothing, let me taste the delicious meal." She commented then grabbed her spoon, the first spoon was mind-blowing, she wasn't expecting him to cook so well, he looked at her, she didn't say a word about the meal, he tried to read her facial expressions, so he could tell she was enjoying it but it was blank."How did it taste?" She looks at him and then goes back to the meal. "Sorry, I didn't know it would not come out well, let's just eat outside..."She bursts into laughter, he looks at her. "Stop staring, you should eat too, it tastes delicious even better than mine if I were your wife, I would always ask you to cook...""Then be my wife." Aria choked on her food, and he rushed to her. "Sorry, I am sorry." She gulped on the water he stretched to her, he cursed inwardly. "Father is right, I am terrible when it comes to romance."Aria watches his facia
The next morning, Dante was surprised to know that Barbara had already quit her job the very next day even when she promised to stay for a week."What happened?" He asked Sally, he wasn't expecting it to happen so fast especially now that she might be too stupid looking for a worthless husband."She said she is going to be very busy in the next 48 hours, so she decided to quit.""Busy doing what?" He yelled in frustration, Sally looked at him. "Sorry, go get me, Shirley.""I am sorry bro, she had to accompany her father to the hospital, she is not available for now, but she said she will be coming later In the day.""Annoying people!" Dante echoed, he had been trying to reach Barbara but the number wasn't going through, he hit the phone on the table in frustration, if it was just her resigning, it would have been better, not now that she is looking for a husband, he might drop dead if someone else gets his woman, he places a call to Kathleen."Hey Kathleen, I have been trying to reach

"Let's get married... Let's get married." Were the only words echoing in the car, he tried to compose himself, he needed to be sure, those words were from Barbara, he wanted reassurance that, he was not hallucinating again.Dante blinks several times and to think he is not the only one caught off-guard, James too, he is too excited that he will get a reward from Gordon, who told him to make sure, Barbara ends up with Dante and no one else.Dante moves his gaze to Barbara with his mouth agape, he is aware of her search for a husband but never had he thought that Barbara would end up picking him.Dante inhaled and exhaled loudly before he finally spoke. "Are you sure about this?" He tried to control his feelings, he was not going to let her know, he was more desperate than her, he faked a serious notable face."Yes, don't worry, I will not tie you done for long and I will not have to act unprofessional after..." Barbara is going to start saying rubbish, Dante doesn't want her to give mo
Barbara and Dante arrived at the hospital, but she wasn't able to shoo him away, after the publicity that Dante had made, she knew that in the next few hours, people would keep calling her nonstop."I told you, you don't have to come with me.""Stop it, it's only right for a son-in-law to visit his father-in-law when he is sick.""Fine just behave yourself.""Yes, Love!" Barbara's face went dim, and she was shocked, what happened to Barbara or Babs? Those are the names he calls her, despite the sudden change."Stop frowning, your dad will think I am bullying you, right these very few hours of marriage, you don't want your dad to think I am a bad son-in-law, love.""Shut up!" Barbara said as she pushed the door of the VIP ward, Calvin smiled, seeing Dante beside Barbara, which means his daughter ended up with Dante. He doesn't care if his daughter forces him to marry her, he is happy because he knows the two are in love with each other."Good day, sir!" He greeted him, but Calvin only n
Sir Harold had called earlier that he would be visiting his kids, since he does not have his little playthings, he wants to spend time with his kids.Now everyone is seated in the dining, Dante's space is the only one available."Where is that brat of a boy? Didn't you tell him, I am joining the dinner today?""I did inform him early but I don't know the reason he is not back." Jayden defends himself, Harold moves his gaze to Sally and Shirley, who work in the same office as him."Oh! I left the office early to meet up with my dad's appointment, so I didn't return to the office." Now it's left for Sally to also defend herself since all eyes are on her now."Oh! The only thing I know is that Barbara stopped by the office and then dragged him before noon and he didn't return to the office nor give details about his whereabouts.""What?" Harold yelled."Not too worried, I will give him a call." Jayden grabbed his phone and then placed a call to Dante, he didn't take Jayden's call."He is
Barbara didn't wake up through the night, she only woke up from her deep slumber the next morning, she was surprised to see it was morning when she checked the time."Ah! It's morning already." Barbara jumped from the bed, she couldn't believe she slept through the night. She yawned and then tried to stand up from the bed only to see Dante on a towel walking into her room"Holy shit! What am I doing here and why are you on the towel?"'Stop asking silly questions, you should take your bath, I figure, you must be very tired, so I decided to let you sleep, you might need a good bath, I made a hot bath for you, all you need do is go into the tub, I will be off to the kitchen, I will fix what we eat.""I can do that myself, don't fix it for me and why didn't you use the other room?" Dante turned and looked at her, as she held her head like she was having a headache."Stop acting like you don't need anyone when you need everyone and for the other question, I love this bed and I remember you

You know I can't stay a day without you." Barbara grimaces at him as he keeps complaining.She grabbed his hand out around her waist, then tiptoed and circled her hand on his neck then gave him a passionate kiss.Dante seems lost but he still moves with the pace, Barbara smiled, she loves this husband of hers, he doesn't argue too much, he only follows what she wants, he kissed her from the doorstep while carrying her to their room through the stairs, he was in hurry to move to the next level when his eyes caught the beautiful decorations and a card with the arrow sign was paste in the wall."What is this?"

Barbara couldn't help but smile as she watched their first wedding photos, she remembers their past as she scanned through the album.She recall their first encounter, how she had punched the man's face and then rented him to save her ass from her overbearing sister. Even when she had begged him publicly to love her and the last when she dragged him to marry herStill in her dream world when a strong hand pulled her into a hug from behind against his body. She was so preoccupied that she didn't notice when Dante joined her in the room, he pulled her to the bed and sat beside her."Hey love, why are you smiling? Don't tell me, you are falling hopelessly in love with this handsome man again." As days go by, Dante's shamelessness knows no limit, he could tease her openly.He pecks her cheeks and then rests on her shoulder with his chin, she pushes him slightly, he is acting too shameless for her liken."You will get spank."

For nine long months, they had been expecting the little pretty thing who looked so much like his lovely wife, it's a girl, Barbara called her Hazel, for some reason, she felt that Hazel was a good mother to her, if she wasn't hard on her, she wouldn't have turned out to be this independent woman, having her own family and a CEO of a big establishment."Love, we are going on vacation on the island.""Really?"

She ceased her forehead as she watched the man snoring loudly on the couchClaudia stared at him, she realized that the man was very handsome and he was probably cold, with the way he folded his body, Claudia pulled the IV drip from herself and grabbed a blanket to make her way back to the couch to cover him.
