“Princess”. he said and to my shock, he kneels on one knee in front of me. To my surprise, I froze in my seat and don't know what to do but I couldn't take my eyes off him. He holds my hand while he's still on one knee. "Princess, I'm a man with a broken past who escaped to his own world. Surrounded by the darkness and suddenly a beautiful woman who is smiling brightly piques my interest. I glimpse a light peeking into my dark world. The day you open the door when I knocked at yours, the darkness surrounding me started to crumble one by one and for the first time, you made me feel my heartbeat again. I thought to myself who's this girl, why she's affecting me this much? At first, I thought it was just a coincidence after I saw you at the restaurant and I'm still convincing myself but when I saw you at the company I started doubting myself once again. I think it's not just a coincidence anymore. Every time I saw your smile I felt very much alive and it says something more, each passin
Isaac POV I feel so out of myself from the morning, I felt so nervous about my proposal to Bettany. What if she said no and she is not yet ready, I don't know how would I feel or react if that's what's going to happen later. I even asked for Ryle's advice, he just finished his proposal to Hannah and I knew he would understand my dilemma at that moment. Evening time and Bettany was still asleep, I woke her up so we could go out for the dinner I arranged. I plan to propose to her in the Eiffel Tower, I know she's been dreaming of coming to Paris to see that tower but she doesn't want to come without a partner. She said it's called the City of Love for a reason so she's waiting for her other half before coming here. I took that opportunity to grant her one of her dreams. I chose a dress for her for the night that matched my suit. I know most women wanted this matching couple dress so I hope she would like it as well, I wanted this to be perfect for both of us. When she took a bath to p
Isaac POV Once I made sure that Bettany was deeply asleep I carefully got up from the bed and went outside onto the balcony. I made a call to Avery and other family members. “Bub, she said yes proceed with all the preparation we talked about for our engagement dinner.” “Really? Oh my god, I’m so happy for you Bub. Okay, I will start the preparation, it will be going a long day. I’m so excited to see both of you”. “Tell Mom I wanted it to be an intimate dinner with our family members only no exceptions. I don’t want Bettany to be uncomfortable with the presence of our business associates and others so make sure only family members are invited. I will call Jeff to give you a hand as well, tomorrow morning we will be flying there so exactly for the dinner time we will arrive.” I explained whispering to Avery, from time to time I glanced inside our room to make sure Bettany was still sleeping. “Don’t worry Bub, I will manage it. One of your private planes will be flying tonight to Ohi
Bettany POV "Princess, are you excited? Isaac asked, We were still on our way to New York and it would be a long flight again. "Yes, I'm so excited to see Avery but kinda nervous as well," I answered honestly. "Why are you feeling nervous? It is not your first time to meet Mom and Dad." "Yeah, but it's different this time I mean we're engaged now. What if your parents were not happy about it and did not agree to this? I said worriedly. "It's a nonsense princess. Don't overthink things. They already love you the moment they see you. My parents always urge me to propose to you but I always tell them that they don't need to push me, I told them I have a plan for everything. So you can be at ease they will be so happy to know that you said yes to my proposal". Isaac comforted me with his words, how could I be so lucky to this man? "Hmm, when we land in New York remind me, love, I will call my parents. I'm sure Mom and Dad will be happy with the good news". "When do you want to celeb
"SURPRISE". Everyone shouted and I saw my whole family and friends were present. My parents, cousins, Ryle, Hannah, Tamara, and Carl. What on earth is happening? I froze in my position and just looked at Isaac. "Congratulations sweetheart I'm so happy for the both of you". My mom walked towards me teary-eyed and hugged me. "Mom, why are you here? I thought you would be at home. I mean thank you I'm so happy that you are all here but can someone explain what is happening? I seem lost here." I said still surprised and processing what was happening. "Sweetheart, your man here asked your hand at Christmas, He said he will propose to you in Paris and he invited all of us to celebrate the new year here with you. He wanted to surprise you so we didn't say anything about it". My dad explained everything when he approached me. I looked up to Isaac to confirm if what my Dad says is true. "Yes, princess. I asked for their permission first before I proposed to you. I asked for their blessings
“Everyone, can I get your attention, please? I want to make a toast to my son and my future daughter-in-law." Isaac’s dad stands up from his seat holding a wine glass. The table becomes silent and focuses its attention on Mr. Jones. “First of all, I want to congratulate you both on your engagement. I and your Mom are so happy when we know that you’re finally taking an interest in someone. We were on a trip at that time when your sister told us and we couldn't believe what we heard that time so we flew back here to see with our own eyes. We’re so eager to meet the woman who brought our son back but your sister has not allowed us to fly to Ohio and meet her immediately. We waited till your birthday dinner and we were a bit shocked when we received an invitation from your sister. We know you’ve never celebrated your birthday after that incident. Honestly, I became nervous that time I thought you were going to be mad to all of us once again but I didn’t expect your reaction that time. For
"10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1". We do the countdown on the balcony of the party hall in Jones's residence to welcome another year of our life. “Happy New Year everyone”. The fireworks flared in the sky with beautiful colors in it. Everyone cheered to the fireworks and we greeted everyone with a smile on our lips, another year to count and share with everyone we love. “Happy New Year princess”. Isaac looked at me lovingly and kissed me which I returned fiercely. I wrapped my hands around his neck and enjoyed our kiss. “Happy New Year, love”. I greeted him when we parted with heavy breathing from our kiss. We continue to watch the beauty of fireworks with Isaac embracing me behind. I feel so contented at this moment. I couldn’t ask for anything more, I have my whole family with me and the man I wished for. This is the moment I've been wishing for and waiting for. It's all been worth it. We continue the party till 3 a.m. before we call it a day and back to our respective rooms. Yes,
Bettany POV I feel too weak and lazy to move, I feel so uncomfortable within my whole body. I rubbed my eyes and opened them slowly. I realized I was all alone in the bed; Isaac was nowhere to be found. I checked the time on my phone and saw it was already noon. F*ck I overslept; Isaac didn't wake me up. I'm sure everyone is up by now, but what I will say is that Isaac tired me out yesterday. What my future in-law will think about me now, is that I'm lazy coz it's already noon and I'm still asleep. I got up in bed and rushed to the bathroom to take a bath before I went down to see my family and friends. I went down but when I got out of our bedroom I didn't know where to go. It's a big place and I could get lost immediately, I wonder where's Isaac now and everyone. I followed my gut feelings and took the path to my right and I ended up in the garden. I saw no one but I was amazed by the garden, it is beautiful and full of flowers. I saw colorful butterflies flying on top of the beaut
Bettany POV It’s been four years since our lives changed completely. After I wake up in a coma, I focus on my rehabilitation to recover my strength easily. Isaac has been on my side every step of it. He didn’t leave me no matter how I assured him that I was already okay and I had fully recovered after two months of my rehabilitation. I come back home where my little bundles and our whole family waiting for me. They gave me a warm welcome once again. Tamara and Bryan are now married and have a 2-year-old daughter Amelie. Ryle and Hannah also have a 1 one-year-old daughter Ria and a 3-year-old son Matt. Avery and Dallin are now engaged and they will get married next year. Alice and Ian have another 3-year-old son Xander and Baby Zoe is 12 years old now. My family and friends are getting bigger and bigger now. We’re happy that everyone is happy with their own life. Everything is falling into its place and no one is behind. “Momma”. Aki ran towards me crying. “Hey, what’s wrong little
“Why are you crying like a baby, love? I suddenly heard a familiar and hoarse voice when I looked up at my wife. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife stared at me with pain on her face. She's trying to lift her hands but I can see how she's struggling. I woke up from my stupor and rang the bell to call the nurse and doctor. "How are you feeling, princess? Do you need anything? I asked and wiped my tears discreetly. I couldn't describe how I'm feeling right now. It's kind of overwhelming that finally, my wife came back to us. "Water, love". she uttered dryly and I got up for water and assisted her in drinking. I shifted our sleeping twins to their crib beside my wife's bed and Dr. Pierce arrived with his assistant in no time. "Mrs. Jones, finally you awake. How are you feeling at the moment? Dr. Pierce said to check up on my wife thoroughly while I'm standing and watching from the side. I couldn't even blink my eyes because I was afraid that if I closed my eyes and opened th
It’s been six months since my wife gave birth to our little bundles and it’s been six months that my wife is not on our side. She’s still in a coma at the hospital but she’s not in the ICU anymore we shifted her to the VIP room already. She can breathe now on her own without the machine’s help. Dr. Pierce said that all her vitals are getting good and all we can do now is to wait for her to wake up on her own. It’s been six months since my life changed totally I fight the battle where I’m not sure I could win. I can’t give up without a fight that's all I can tell myself. I handed the full authority to all my business temporarily to my sister. I needed to focus on my family, I couldn’t leave my wife’s side and our little bundles needed me. I need to be stronger for them. I will make sure that the time will come when my family will be complete and happy once again. Aki and Amell are very active now. They can crawl and start to babble some baby words. My family lives with me temporarily
Isaac POV The moment I heard the cry of our baby I couldn't explain how happy I felt inside. This is the moment my wife and I've been waiting for the few past months. Our little bundles can finally see the world. I’m so delighted to see both of them and hold them in my hands. But the happiness I’m feeling right now didn’t last long. I can feel something weird is happening to my wife from the way she’s talking to me. “Love, get our little bundles, make sure you will take care of both of them. Love them the way you love me. I’m tired now I think I need a rest. I love you always and forever, remember that”. my wife said and I realized her eyes were shutting slowly I panicked when I heard the unstable sound of the machine. I handed the twins to the nurse without care for anything else but my wife. “Princess, hey, Dr. what’s happening? I said trying to talk to my wife but she was not responding. The delivery room now is in chaos and I don’t know what’s exactly happening to my wife. “Mr.
“Ah, Ah”. We’re on our way to the hospital and I’m trying to endure the pain and hide it from Isaac but I can't, when the contractions hit me I can’t help but just scream in pain. I know Isaac must be worried right now but I can't help it. “Princess, inhale, exhale we’re near in the hospital now. Everything will be alright. I’m sorry I made you feel this way, we’re not going to have kids anymore after this just hold on, okay we’re near, we’re near now”. Isaac said, but in every word, he said now I don’t care about it anymore at this moment. All I care about now is the pain to go away I’m feeling and seeing my little bundles. Finally, we arrived at the hospital and Dr. Pierce was already on standby. They pushed me into the delivery room and I’m scared now. I hold tight to Isaac’s hand, I need him inside the room to be my strength. “Don’t worry, princess. I’m not going anywhere I will be with your side to welcome our little bundles. Don’t be scared I’m only here and any minute now we
It’s been a while since we knew we were having twins. From the day we revealed the gender of our little bundles our family didn’t stop giving us a gift for the twins. Isaac decided that we needed to shift to a bigger place since we were now having a kid. He bought a house near to my parent’s place and we already shifted thereafter a month after our gender reveal. We started decorating the rooms of the twins and being prepared for their birth. Yeah, finally anytime soon in this coming week, we can already meet our little bundles. Isaac decided to work from home again he doesn’t want to leave by my side especially anytime now I could give birth to our little bundles. “Good morning, princess”. he greeted me when I opened my eyes from sleeping. He has already freshened up and just waiting for me to wake up to have our breakfast and do our morning routine. “Hmm, good morning hubby”. I groaned greeting him. I couldn't move properly now because of how big my tummy is. I always need Isaac’s
“Love, are you excited? I asked Isaac coz today we’re going to my monthly check-up and we will find out the gender of our little bundles. “I am, princess. I couldn't wait to know it. Do you have gender preferences in your mind? He asked. “None exactly, all I wanted is for them to be healthy. I don’t even care if they’re both male or female coz I will love them both no matter what”. I said lovingly. “Hmm, me too, princess. All I wanted is for all of you to be healthy. That’s all that I've been praying for”. he said and he walked towards me and kissed me on my temples and he kneeled to kiss my big baby bump. “By the way love, we still need to wait till evening before we know the gender. Our families are throwing a party and they want it to be a surprise to all of us so we can’t directly ask Dr. Pierce to say it to us”. I said reminding him. Avery planned a gender reveal for our twins this evening so we have a family gathering once again. “Yes, princess. For the hundredth time, Mom a
Bettany POV It's been a month since Dr. Pierce advised me to have full bed rest for the stability of our little bundles. To make sure they become healthy I follow Dr. Pierce's advice. Every day of the past month I've only left our bed when I'm going to use the bathroom but with the help of my husband. He didn't make me walk and he was afraid that I was going to bleed again. I understand his worry so I didn't argue with him. It feels like we're both in House Arrest but mostly bed arrest. In this past month, he didn't go to the company as well. He instructed Jeff that if it was only an urgent matter that needed his attention, that was the only time he could report to him. He didn't leave on my side 24/7 so our life in the past month only revolved around our bed. He made sure I didn't get bored as hell, he entertained me as much as possible. He always talked to our little bundle and that made him more adorable. He's going to be the best father to our twins that I'm really sure of. "Lov
Isaac POV “Dr. Pierce, how’s my wife and my twins? I ran anxiously when I saw the door of the emergency room open and Dr. Pierce came out. I can hear my heart thumping loudly. Am I ready to hear what he will say? What if. No, don't think like that Isaac. My princess and our little bundles are stronger than I know. Nothing gonna happen to both of them." I said to myself. I'd never been scared of my life before but when I saw my wife had blood in her hands I felt someone tagging me once again in the dark. I repeated telling her that everything would be fine but the truth is I'm not actually sure of my words either. I need to be stronger for both of us. It's not the time for me to give in to the darkness. I have a wife who needed me to be her strength. No matter what happens I need to be stronger for both of us. "Mr. Jones, I'll be honest with you. It makes us have a hard time stopping the bleeding but we are lucky that you arrived on time. Mrs. Jones and your child are both safe and o
