Sasha pulled over in her parents garage, she had received a call from her mom that she should come home and that there is something they want to tell her. She had already had a really stressful day at the office and is definitely not ready to listen to their complain about her not being married. She had already told them times without number that she will get married when the time is right, even she herself don't know when will be the right time. At twenty six, she is not even in any serious relationship, well blame it on the guys, none of them seems to be what they were at first and she is definitely not going to get into a marriage of convenience.

She stepped out of the car and walked around it to the porch, she pressed the doorbell and know her mother will complain once she opens the door to find her, she will be like 'what in the world? How many times will I tell you to step ringing the bell once you arrive here? For crying out loud Sasha you are not a stranger' she smiled and waited for it.

The door opened to reveal her mother's face, a bright blonde with light gray eyes, she is just identical to her except that she took her father's golden brown eyes, she smiled to the already frowning woman "hi mom."

"Sasha White, how many times will I tell you, stop ringing the bell, the door is always open to you" Angelica White cautioned her daughter for the one hundredth time.

Sasha smiled, she knew that was coming "can I come in?"

Angelica looked frustrated as if she was about to claw her face before hissing and walking into the house, leaving the door open for her to follow "is dad home?" Sasha asked.

"Will be soon, called to say he was delayed at the meeting. How is the company going now?"

"Great, taking everything nice and slow."

Angelica turned to look at her and Sasha sighed, she knows that look "please don't start now mom" she groaned.

"Don't start what? I'm not going to say anything. You just sit there and wait for your dad to come home" she said and walked into the kitchen.

Sasha dropped her bag on the sofa before walking into the kitchen to meet her "so, about what you want to tell me, what could that be that you can't tell me over the phone?"

"I said, wait for your dad to come home young lady. Don't put words in my mouth."

Sasha nodded and looked around the kitchen before grabbing the chopping board to cut the vegetables for her.

Nicholas settled with his family after dinner, he looked at his daughter and smiled "Sasha darling, great news."

Sasha couldn't help but smile "what news dad?"

"We received a very interesting proposal" he replied.

Sasha furrowed her brows "what proposal?"

"Now listen to me young lady, we have thought about this for a very long time and realized that you are really going to benefit from it" Angelica put in.

Sasha furrowed her brows more tightly, what are they talking about? "I don't understand."

"I know you don't" Nicolas smiled "we received a marriage proposal from the family you least expect."

Sasha frowned "marriage proposal? For who?"

"What do you mean for who? How many daughter do we have?" Angelica asked with a frown.

Sasha gave a desperate sigh "I can't believe you guys, do you really want me to get married that much that you have to accept a proposal? Mom, I have told you I will get married when the time comes."

"Well the time is now. Sweetheart believe me, if it's anybody else, I wouldn't even accept it but the young man is a man to die for. He is reliable, handsome, respected, and every inch of what you want. Trust me, I know a guy you will like when I see one and you are definitely going to like this one" Angelica smiled brightly.

Sasha gave an exasperated sigh, if there is one thing her mom can do, is to praise boys and you will end up being disappointed when you eventually meet them "I can't believe you guys."

"Honey listen to me, you do know we will always have your best interest at heart. We have already calculated everything and the odds are not against you. You will be well taken care of, you will lack nothing" Nicholas was saying.

"I don't lack anything now dad" she interrupted.

"I know, you are capable of taking care of yourself and you have made your stand in the company, I know and I'm proud of you but this, this is an opportunity to rise higher, you don't know who we are talking about here."

"Who?" She asked.

Angelica smiled "you will know when you see him" and Sasha rolled her eyes, he is even a mystery guy.

"Sweetheart listen to me, do you know that Jack and Jones contract you have had your eyes on for months?" Nicolas asked and Sasha's eyes brightened at the mention of the contract "they will get you that and more."

What the hell? Which family can get her that contract and more "dad, don't play games with me."

Nicholas chuckled "will I deceive you my daughter? I'm telling you the honest truth."

Sasha furrowed her brows "if they can get me that and more, why did they choose me to be their wife?"

"Well, according to the mother, she said they had given the son three marriage proposals and he rejected them but immediately they brought yours to him, he accepted" Angelica smiled that her daughter was chosen above all else.

He chose her at first glance? Did he know her? Or perhaps an old acquaintance? She thought.

"So, what do you say? Think about the good part sweetheart" Nicholas added.

Sasha sighed, she had always been against marriage of convenience and this here now, what is it? "First of all, I need to meet this mysterious guy, if I like him, then I will accept, and if I don't, you better forget about it."

Angelica smiled "and I tell you, you will like him."

Nicholas nodded "that's good, that's very good. I have always known I have an intelligent daughter."

Of course, he will try to praise her now, boot licker, she smiled. After a few more small talks, Sasha went back home thinking about the mysterious guy that is soon to be her husband.

    “Happy Anniversary,” Michael whispered to Sasha in the ear and she turned to him, staring at the small box he was handing her.“What is this?” she asked with a smile, taking the box from him.“Open it, who else asks what was given to them for anniversary?” Michael rolled his eyes, then kissed her forehead.Sasha chuckled and opened the box, she was surprised to see a key and she looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, “I don’t understand.”“Let’s go,” he smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the house.“Where to?” Sasha asked, getting into the car.“To see your anniversary present, duh,” he laughed softly, getting into the car.They drove for twenty minutes and seeing the neighborhood they were driving through, Sasha frowned. “Are we going over to your parents’ house?”Michael chuckled but said nothing.

    Two weeks gone by, Sasha knew she has no grievances against Michael anymore, if even asked, she just wants them to be a family again but for some reason, she didn’t want to bring it up and was prepared to wait for him to do so.

    Michael entered the restaurant where he hoped to see Sasha according to her text message. He scanned the room and saw her sitting and sipping a glass of what appeared to be Robert Mondavi, he smiled and walked up to her. “Excuse me ma’am, can I join you?”She glanced up at him and smiled, “I’m sorry but I’m waiting for someone.”“Is that so, could it be your husband?”“No, just some douche-bag that wants to have lunch with me,” she grinned.Michael placed a hand on his chest, feigning hurt. “I’m sure if you give him time that you will discover that he is not a douche-bag.”“Oh really, you must be a Good Samaritan if you are speaking well of him without even knowing him,” she placed her hand under her chin and stared up at him, a smile playing on her lips.Michael couldn’t help but notice how angelic she looked in her casual white top and blue jeans, her platinum wavy hair was falling down her shoulders like waterfall and he was gripped by the urge to lean down and kiss her, but instea

He already made orders in the restaurant and he hoped it would be ready by the time they got there. He heaved a sigh and knocked on her door softly, but after waiting for some seconds and there was no answer, he had to knock again, louder this time. Few seconds later, the door was thrown open by a really sleepy Sasha. He chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “late night?”Sasha yawned in a really not lady like manner and she showed that she didn’t give a damn what he thought, “some of us found it hard sleeping even after turning in. I Face timed with the kids and mom can be you know, something else.”Michael smiled, “well, since clearly you still need sleep, I will leave you to it.”“You are living already?”“Not till the next hour.”“I guess I really slept in didn’t I?”“It doesn’t matter, I will let them know to

    Sasha opened the door to the man standing outside dressed in a black blazer and white polo underneath and blank pants. He looked so different from the always in suit businessman she has come to know and she couldn’t not notice how handsome he looked.Michael was struck by the beauty of the lady in white in front of him; the gown she was wearing was among the recent things he bought for her during the time he got something for the kids. Never in his life had he imagined that she would wear anything from there anytime soon. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with few tendrils dropping at her cheeks, she smiled at his perusal, slowly biting her lower lip. “Wow,” was all he could say.“Wow what?” Sasha asked, feeling all giddy inside.
