All Chapters of ENSNARED BY HIS STRANGE PROPOSAL: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

At the Female HostelWhat the ladies around Johnny were not aware of was that Ruby was good at making troubles like them, and she owed no one any apology. She looked fragile and innocent but, she is a mischief-maker. They walked back to the hostel slowly, looking out for any confrontation, especially that day that Johnny stepped up his love advance by placing his hand on her shoulder.“May be ten girls would come against you today, Ruby?” Carmine asked sarcastically. Then, to draw more attention to herself, Ruby cackled with laughter before she said, “I’m waiting.” To their surprise, no one harassed them until they got to their rooms. They took their rest for one hour and afterward, they were set for the basketball court.At Johnny’s ApartmentAfter they left the lecture hall, Johnny announced, “We need to visit the grocery for some foodstuff. We have run out of them.”“It is all right.”He drove to the grocer's shop and picked more than they needed, and Stanley demanded, "Why the exc

The MC was astounded by their opinions, and he clarified, “I'm glad to hear that. My boss will comment on that shortly.”Aurora and Julie could not wait to hear from Carson about the date of the next event. After the audience was calm, the MC called on Carson for his concluding remarks. He joyfully walked to the stage and collected the Mic, and greeted, “Long live my Kings. Long live my Queen, and long live my Prince. Ladies and gentlemen, I am overwhelmed with your show of love and support.”“Who is the organizer of this event?” Diane asked with worry in her voice. She got no response from Fanny because she was lost in thought. She turned and looked at her, and noticed that she was moody, and drifted off in memory. Furthermore, she was able to see her face clearly, and discovered that her makeup and lipstick were smudged. Then she whispered, “The client must have paid heavily for letting him do all these to you?”“Let's talk about it later, please,” Fanny responded curtly, and Diane

“Father, can't you have pity on me? Can't you see that I am dying?”“What was your plan B when you could not obey your husband and keep the family secret. For your information, you have been subpoenaed for treason by King Raphael Churchill VII. You are lucky that he is not as rigid as his father. You would have ended up in jail, and my kingdom would have been wiped away.”“Subpoenaed by the King?” She exclaimed, and her mother, who had been silent, spoke, “Are you just hearing it. You have to appear in court and defend yourself.”“Mother, you have to help me. I'm dying, and I have learned my mistakes.”“Go and settle with the King and your husband. You will expose my kingdom to the wrath of King Churchill VII if he knows that I am harboring you,” her father thundered. Nevertheless, she had no choice than to leave.Meanwhile, they were not aware that the King had let go of the summons, and she was on the run. She resolved to take refuge in Nassau, the only country that could come to he

“Stop crying, Carmine. Our ends shall be great,” Ruby pointed out. Thereafter, she placed her hand on her shoulder and continued, “If you are happy, I will be happy too. You have Stanley, and he would give you the kind of life that you desired.”At this point, Carmine, who had always played the role of a big sister to her, was touched. Then, she elucidated and promised, “How can I be happy and you are not? You loved Johnny so much, and with Stanley's assistance, I can help you to get him to be yours, if you work with me.”Now, Ruby dried her tears and looked at Carmine in wonderment. After a while, she inquired, “What are you trying to say?”“I am confident that he loves you too…”“Love me? What about his numerous girlfriends,” she cut in?Carmine overlooked her fears and pressed on, “Yes, he loves you and if you give him attention, he would turn a new leaf.”Now, Ruby's eye shone at the revelation. She had never thought of fighting for what she wanted, and Carmine’s idea thrilled her

“I apologize for not giving you attention, my dear,” he tendered, and took his seat beside her.“Consider it as nothing, dear. Are you through?”“Yes, for today.”“You need to rest.”“You are correct,” he admitted. Now, he held her left hand and squeezed it a bit. She smiled and looked at his handsome face and wished that he is also handsome in character, and giggled. Then she asked, “What is that for?”He smiled too and remarked, “To remind you that I am still waiting for the response to my proposal.”“We are friends already. Aren't we?”“Yes. But I need you to give me your heart. And I promised that I will make you the happiest woman on earth if you do that.”Likewise, they locked eyes and focused on each other for a while before Ruby inquired, “Will you give me yours if I give you mine?”At that point, he was touched by her innocence, for thinking that he had a heart. All the same, he must be himself. He must not love any woman. ‘I hope you are not playing with fire? I don’t even
