Barbie, who was inside her dressing room, had watched Paige's performance with a smile on her face. Now that she saw Zach standing in front of Paige, although she could not hear what he was telling her, she instantly understood that Zach was trying to let everyone know that Paige belonged to him. She felt happy for both of them.Paige moved even closer to Zach, and although she wore heels, she still wasn't as tall as he was, so she had to stand on her tiptoes. Placing her hands on his shoulder, she moved her lips toward his cheek and kissed him.Afterward, she smiled and wanted to let go of him. However, Zach held her cheeks and crashed his lips on hers.The audience erupted in applause and cheered for the both of them.From where he sat, Williams felt a knot in his stomach. He tried so hard to maintain his composure but he could not bear to watch what was happening and turned his face away.His plans had been ruined, as he knew that with what had just happened now, he would not get
Zach dumped his phone on the chair, lifted Paige, and took her to the bed. He placed her on it and knelt over her as he crashed his lips against hers.When Paige opened her eyes in the morning, she turned and saw Zach sitting beside her and staring at her."Good morning, Darling," she said as she sat up."Good morning, Sunshine," he replied."Have you been awake for a while?" She asked.He nodded, "Yes.""And you've been staring at me ever since?"Zach nodded, "Yes.""For how long?""Two hours or thereabout," Zach replied."Why?" Paige asked him.He reached out his hand and caressed her cheek, "Isn't it obvious? It's because I'm in love with you. When I look at you, I still find it difficult to believe that you're mine; all mine. You don't know how much that means to me. Even if I had only you in this life, I would be content. Yes, I can stare at you forever."Paige moved closer to him and caressed his face as well as she said, "I feel the same way too."He continued staring at her
After Paige and Zach had their baths, they came out of their room so they could have breakfast. But then, Paige's phone began to ring again. When she stared at it, she said, "It's from my dad."She answered the call, and her father was so happy to speak to her. He congratulated her and told her how much he missed her. She also spoke to her mom, who told her that they watched her performance and she could not stop crying."Thank you both so much," Paige gushed."Sorry we didn't call you yesterday," Vanessa told her. "I knew it was going to be a very busy day for you, so your father and I decided to allow you to enjoy yourself. And Zach is so sweet, by the way. Tell him I said he's a wonderful prince charming."Paige laughed, "Well, he's here with me. We're just about to have breakfast.""Oh really? Your father and I just had breakfast. And also, we have some news to share, but I think your father would be happy to give you the news himself."Melvin took the phone and said, "Our wedding
The next morning, Paige drove her parents to the airport with Lina sitting beside her in front of the car, while her parents sat at the back. Once they arrived at the airport, Vanessa hugged Paige, and said, "I wish I didn't have to go. I feel so sad because we only just found each other again.""C'mon, Mom, what are you saying? Go have all the fun in the world. It's just one week. If I were in your shoes though, I'd have taken a month or even a year." Paige said smiling.Vanessa chuckled, "No, I cannot do that. How can I leave you to be all alone?""You keep forgetting I'm a big girl now, and besides, I have someone special in my life.""Yeah," Melvin chimed in. "That's why I'm not worried. I understand why your mom is worried, but, honey, Paige is going to be fine. She can take care of herself. Besides, it's just for a week, and like Paige said, I wish it could be longer."Lina stood by the side, staring at both of them. When Melvin turned to leave, she said, "Dad, Mom, you both sho
Paige drove to Zach's villa, but when she arrived, she noticed that his favorite car wasn't parked outside. However, she still went in. When the butler saw her, he welcomed her warmly and offered her a seat in the living room."What about Mr. Zach?" she asked."He's not back yet," the butler replied.She looked at her watch; it was a few minutes past 4 o'clock, and Zach had told her that he would be at home. She took out her phone and called his number. It rang, but there was no answer. She called him again and left him a message, but there was still no answer. So, she decided to give him some time and assumed that he probably still had work to do at the office. While she was waiting, Susan came in and saw her sitting in the living room; she snorted and rolled her eyes."Hey, Susan," Paige said.Susan ignored her and walked away without saying a word in reply. Paige shook her head and also rolled her eyes, "What a snob." She waited for Zach for a few hours, and no one offered her an
"Yes!" Paige exclaimed. "Oh my God! Yes, Darling. Yes, I will marry you."Zach chuckled, seeing her enthusiasm while she looked at him as she panted for breath because her heart was racing. She looked at her left hand and pulled out the promise ring Zach had given to her, which was sitting on her engagement finger.She wore the ring on her right engagement finger and extended her hand to Zach. Taking it, he slid the gold ring onto her engagement finger, afterwards, he kissed it and got up."I promise that I'll always give you a reason to be happy like this," Zach told her. "I will make you proud, I will cherish you and I will never give you a reason to regret being with me.""I believe you," Paige replied. "I also will never give you a reason to regret choosing me. I love you so much.""I love you too," Zach said and crashed his lips on hers. Afterward, he held her in his arms, hugging her tightly.When he let go of her hand, he said, "Come with me to the garden, I have a little somet
"What are you talking about?" Zach asked Hailey."Please, Zach, you cannot do this to me. You cannot break my heart in this way.""Break your heart? You're not making any sense. What... Wait... I should... Hold on. You have feelings for me?" Zach asked her.Hailey moved closer to him again and clutched his shirt, "Yes, Zach, I love you so much. I have always been in love with you. How could you not see it? For years, I did everything just so you could see me.I did everything to be by your side, and you promised me. You told me back then that you were never going to get married, you were never going to get involved with any woman in your life, and I believed you. I was content just being by your side because I thought there would be no one else. I thought you'd keep your promise, and now you want to get married to her?You can't do this to me, Zach. Tell me this is all not happening."Zach stared at her in surprise, "What? You have been in love with me all these years? Why did you nev
When Paige woke up in the morning, she stretched her body and looked all over the room, but Zach wasn't there. She went into the bathroom and freshened up.When she came out, she noticed that Zach had brought her luggage, which she had left in her car, into the room. She quickly got dressed.While dressing up, she recalled what had happened last night and how Zach had proposed to her. She smiled and quickly went online to see what was happening.She saw that not only had her followers increased drastically to millions of people, but her post of last night had garnered millions of reactions from people and thousands of shares. She smiled and left her phone on the bed as she went out of the room to look for Zach.When she got to the living room, she gasped in surprise. There were different boxes of wrapped gifts, and she counted more than a hundred. She began to wonder where they came from.She didn't think they were from her fans because they couldn't have known that she spent the nigh
