"Oh, Nancy, come look at this!" Lilian said with a very big smile.She stopped what she was doing in the living room and went to answer her Boss."Isn't this sweet? Connor proposed to her with his Grandmother's ring. I never knew my Son could be this sweet. I'm so proud of him."Nancy felt a sharp pain in her heart the moment she set her eyes on the phone. It was a picture of Diane's hand, showing off the priceless ring."What do you think dear?""It's so sweet of Mr. Martin." She said with a smile that was not reaching her eyes.Nancy had no idea why she was feeling bad about the whole thing when she told him earlier that she had forgiven him.A part of her felt even more angry that he had the nerve to drag her to his car after proposing to the love of his life.Once again, She felt used and foolish."I feel they are going to make really cute Babies. I honestly can't wait."Nancy nodded with a fake smile, trying so much to control her itchy eyes."Where's Sadie?""She has this weeken
Connor stood still as he watched Nancy walk out of his room as fast as her legs could carry her. He felt a pang in his chest the moment she slammed the door, but he didn't move an inch from where he stood for a few minutes as he kept on wondering what went wrong.He was brought out of his thoughts by his ringtone. Connor sighed, then headed over to his bed where he placed his phone earlier.As much as he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, he still wanted to know who it was.He rolled his eyes in exhaustion when he picked up his phone and saw that it was Diane calling.He reluctantly picked up."Hey babe," Her cheerful voice came through."Hi.""Is anything the matter? You sound disturbed."I'm fine, why did you call?""Oh, I just wanted to thank you for the gifts. They are so beautiful! I love them so much. Thank you."Connor frowned, "The flowers? Cynthia brought them already?""Yes, the flowers are so beautiful. But I'm not just talking about the flowers. The other gifts too. The
"Definitely! A party filled with men without sexy chicks is like a gay party.""Whatever! Don't forget to text me the address.""Of course! There will be no party without the celebrant.""Is that all? I've got work to do.""Maybe! See you tonight.""Tonight? Not sure I'll be coming to the club. I'm attending dinner at Diane's parents' place.""Yeah, that's what I meant. See you there.""You were invited? I thought it was a close family thing?""Diane's best friend was invited so she invited me as her date. I couldn't say NO to a free home-cooked meal.""Do you mean free meal or free pussy?""Stop being a hater, Dude!""Whatever! I'm a bit relieved you are going to be there though!"Ivan chuckled."From what I know, Diane's parents are really chilled. They've got the same vibes as their daughter. I wouldn't worry a bit if I were you.""Whatever! See you tonight."Ending the call with his best friend, Connor went back to his desk where he occupied himself with work for a couple of hours
Diane chuckled. "You all were so engrossed in yourselves that you forgot that there are cameras everywhere."Bessie blushed while Ivan smiled."Just look, don't I have the most handsome son-in-law ever?"Connor put on a polite smile. Diane's mom was as energetic as her daughter, filled with the same bright energy, and reminded him so much of his mother.Despite their age, they were still looking so radiant and classy, and good-looking."Hi, Trisha." He wanted to offer a handshake but she beat him to it by pulling him into a hug."I'm glad you came, dear. Been wanting to see you so we can discuss proper about the wedding."Connor had no idea what to say so he kept smiling."Let's go in. Charles is waiting." Trisha commanded as she led the way into the house which was similar to Connor's parents' mansion in terms of space and amazing furniture as well as modern technologies.Trisha led them to the main living room where Diane's father, Charles was. They all exchanged pleasantries, settl
Lilian literally didn't have any sleep last night. She was way too excited about today being her only Son's engagement party. She had worked hand in hand with the event planner to make sure everything turned out as the beautiful image she had in her head.They eventually settled to use the Martin's mansion for the outdoor event because of security as well as privacy as Connor had instructed."I wouldn't do too much if I were you, Mama." Nadia graced the dressing room with her presence along with her 5-year-old daughter."Grandma!!!!!" Lenora ran as fast as her legs could carry her towards Lilian who was seated by the vanity table. She was all dressed up and the make-up artist just finished working on her face."Hi, my love." She eventually picked her granddaughter up and pulled her into a warm hug.As the little girl got acquainted with her Grandmother, Nadia exchanged greetings with the makeup artist, as well as Nancy."You look so pretty, Grandma.""Thank you, my love, and so do you
"It's good to see you after a very long time of you avoiding me." Aaron said."I'm not avoiding you," Connor mumbled, looking away from his father as he approached him and Ivan."Good day, sir."Aaron smiled, giving Ivan a side hug."I hope to get an invitation from you soon for the same gathering like this.""Oh, I don't think so, Sir.""You have no idea how much of a lucky bastard you are," Connor mumbled."Why, my Son?" Aaron asked Ivan."Does he need to have a reason?" Connor spilled before he could stop himself.Ivan chuckled, seeing Aaron throw a glare at his son."I don't know. I just think marriage is not for me.""Who told you that?"Ivan shrugged, his eyes meeting with that of a blondie in red dress. He instantly smiled at her."Don't shut your mind against it because it's a beautiful thing. Especially with the right person.""Excuse me, Sir but this is important too." Without waiting for Aaron to give consent or permission, Ivan made his way to where the blondie was standin
"Is.....is this me?" She was finally able to speak after a couple of seconds of staring at her reflection in the mirror."Now you know why we are both stunned." Gloria approached her, standing to her right, and Nikky approached her, standing to her left."Oh my, are those tears I see in your eyes?""Girl, you better don't let them fall. You're a masterpiece and I don't want you to ruin what I just did." Nikky said sternly, making Gloria chuckle."Cheer up, honey. So this is the beauty you've been hiding behind your work clothes? This dress looks perfect on you. You look so much like a goddess.""I..." She sniffled, trying to shift back the tears that were forming in her eyes."I...don't know what to say.""You don't have to say anything, Darling and if you must know, you're one of the best clients I've had to work with. Your skin is really good so I didn't have to break a bone to do too much. This is all YOU girl! You're a natural beauty and you need to be proud of it.""I agree with
As the Celebrity of the night, it was normal for all attention to be on him and he had already prepared his mind ahead for it. But this was different. At that moment Connor excused himself from his lover and business partner, he had no idea what was controlling him as he made steps toward her.One thing was certain; the fact that he needed to be with her right now without giving a fuck if people were staring.Seeing that She was soon going to escape from him, he took longer strides so he could reach her on time.He grabbed her hand, then put himself in front of her, blocking her way."Let go of me, Connor."She stylishly tried to wriggle her hand away from him, not looking into his eyes. She wanted to do it forcefully but knowing people might be watching, She didn't want to create a show.""Look at me.""Let go of me.""I want to see those eyes, look at me.""Please Connor, let me go." She still didn't look at him. Her voice was as though she wanted to cry."You should know me by now
