Do you love him? Leah eyes bulge, she wasn't expecting Alexia to ask her that, she could be crazy but she had never been with any man sexually, her boyfriend had breakup with her the day, she went missing because she had refused to give in to what he wanted which is her body.
You don't have to answer, I know you love him and he loves you.
he loves me? Leah asked, Alexia smiled, pulling her hair behind her ear.
Sweetheart, you are beautiful, sexy, and every man's dream, you don't expect every man not to fall hopelessly in love with you, the Lee's have two lovely daughters that every man, even the one with the heart of stone couldn't turn a blind eye to, I know Jesse loves you, he might just be scared if you might turn him down, but you have nothing to worry about, he will be at the dinner tomorrow, you and he could talk if you want, I could...
No, I will wait for him to ask me out first.
Perfect then. Leah stands to leave. Is that how to pay, someone for listening to you? She looks at her.
Thank you!!! She said.
Will you hop into the bed, I need someone to cuddle me.
What? Leah screamed.
Can't you see I am pregnant? Leah laughed as she pulled the duvet and get into the bed.

Everyone in Lee's mansion is excited and busy preparing for the dinner, the butler and the chef, work side by side, to put everything in place perfectly, it's like they are having a ceremony, to them it's just a dinner but to Lee, it's more than a dinner, he can't wait to finally announce to the world that, his first and only daughter is getting married to her dream man, this is different, it's not going to be like the last one.
The butler gather every one of the stuff, he told them that, Prime minister wanted it to be done perfectly, that he wanted to also tell everyone that he is expecting a grandchild, maybe two.
The dinner is held in the garden of the Lee. Lanterns are all lit up surrounding the whole area, to give light, and an orchestra playing a sweet melody not too far from where the proposal is going to take place because Beck had informed him that he want to use the opportunity to propose to his daughter, the only people that know about the plan, was just Beck, him, his grandfather, in fact all the male know about it except the females.
The two old men and the four young men had argued about where to place the ring and Bernard's idea finally sound better, it should be set on top of the desert, looking like part of the decorations.
The chef will bring out his special dessert, which will be when Beck will propose, it sounds all romantic.
After much time, the entire set, finally came to an end with a beautiful garden, like the Garden of Eden in the bible.
The butler looked at it and saw that it was beautiful but like God, he saw that something was missing, and that was the couple.
The maid picture the look on Alexia's face, when she will see all these beautiful creation made just to please her, only her and no one else.
The butler couldn't help but also admire the work that was lovely done, Beck had to lure Alexia out of the mansion, saying that, they have to do something at the Military base, when it was time, he asked her to wear a gown, if they were to attend the dinner, at first, Alexia had protested saying that, it's her place, seeing that Beck is not going to bulge, she finally agreed.
The man was humming all the way to the mansion, stepping out of the car, and after packing it at the garage, he open the door and offer his hand to her.
Hon! Did you trust me, enough to lead your step? Alexia looks at him. Please, let me blindfold you.
Why?
It's a surprise.
Come on tell me, what is it?
It's a surprise.
What kind of surprise? Beck pushed her head slightly have you ever heard anyone tell surprises out? Alexia shakes her head, then close her eyes, it means she trusted Beck and never thing, he blindfolds her.
Everyone's eyes were finally on the walkway, eagerly waiting for the couple to walk through that red carpet, the females had come to know about it, just Alexia that is left, they were surprised to see that Beck had blindfolded her and the stubborn Alexia didn't protest.
Everyone giggles in expectation. The butler beckon the orchestra to begin playing, as Beck guides her every step towards the garden.
Alexia become curious, hearing the sound of the music, that soothing sound had made her believe this is not just a dinner between her family and Becks. She wanted to bug the man till he tell her what is going on but it was too late.
They've reached the area, Beck take off her blind. Slowly she open her eyes, seeing the magnificent view, her mouth hang, her face lit up, and tears run down her chin, Beck look at her surprised.
Don't you...
Oh, handsome! This is sweet" she tipped on her toe and kissed Beck, everyone else bulge, prime minister Lee couldn't believe his daughter is kissing a man right in front of him.
The butler felt this is the right time to bring out the special dessert, so he sends it to the chef.
The orchestra was playing a very nice love song, Beck bowed and stretch out his hand. May, I have this dance, beauty. Alexia didn't think twice before dropping her hand on his.
The pleasure is all mine. As the dance goes on, Everyone stares at them, Beck signals the chef to bring the dessert, and Jesse stares at him, he was hoping that they will have dinner first before he proposed, but Beck is in a hurry, he wanted to get things done fast, if possible, he wanted tonight to be the wedding between the two of them.
Beck grabbed the dessert from the chef, thanked him then dismissed him, Alexia was too busy dancing and smiling at everyone that she didn't know Beck is holding something
Do you like it? Beck quizzed, his soothing voice distracted her, and she stared at it in admiration. It's lovely, I guess it will taste sweet. Alexia said.
Not that, I am not talking about the dessert. She stare blankly at the ring on the dessert, and suddenly her hand raised to it, she stared at the one, on her finger and the one, on the dessert.
What is going on? Beck didn't reply, he pick the ring from the dessert, right in front of everyone, he went down on his knees, and gaze into her eyes, like some kid begging for candy with love in his eyes. He raised the rings, not missing her gaze.
Beauty!!! Alexia, my only beauty, the mother of my babies, will you do me the honor to marry me for the second time? Beck's words were filled with sincerity.
It seems the time stop, and the only thing in the world, is Beck and Alexia, as everyone looks, they also anticipated the turn of events, waiting like a thousand years for her sweet reply
Alexia, face burned with blush and her face shone like the clear sky when it was raining at the same time sunning.
She wasn't expecting this, not that, she was, it's just that, she didn't think it was now and that, Beck wouldn't want to go through that stress, after their shotgun marriage and she is already wearing his ring on his finger
