Crystalline Nicole Quinn, the step daughter of Giovanni and Louisa Quinn. She has secrets that she never tell anyone. Her heart is surrounded by big walls that she promises will never open for someone or so she thought. One day, her personal lawyer...
Crystalline's POV I sigh before walking in with Ace by my side. "Where did you two go? When we ask your friends, they told us that they didn't know" I gulp before sitting down. "I have a good news" I announced. I look at them and instantly their expression change, "What is it?" I caress my stomach then announce, "I'm pregnant"
My mom squeal so loud, "oh my gosh! Did you already told your parents?" She ask. "No, we have not" she sigh and get her phone. After a minutes I heard Amirah's voice to the line. "Hey, what's going on? What's with the smiling face?" I heard her ask. "Well my daughter and your son have an announcement..." then she turn the phone to us. "Hello, Amirah. We have something to tell you" I smile then turn to Ace. "We're having a baby" I continued. I heard another squeal coming from Amirah. "Yes!! Finally! Did you hear that, Louisa?" Then they keep talking. While me and Ace go up to my room. As we enter we plop down and turn the TV on. "Tomorrow is the hearing, I'll be gone but I promise, I'll be back as soon as possible" i just hum and nuzzle my head to his chest. I was about to fall asleep when he speak, "Yesterday, when you saw your ex and hyperventilate. What's the cause of it?" I sigh and look up at him, "When he grab me, I remembered the day that...Phoenix grab me" I tear up thinking about it.
"Don't cry, what if I'm the one who grab you, do you feel the same?" I shake my head no. "I feel secure and safe when it comes to you. You're different" I tell him. He sit up and pull me to his lap. "Okay, Now sleep. Don't worry about everything, I'll be the one to handle it. Stress is not good for you and the baby" he kiss my forehead and whispered, "I love you both" then hold my nonexistent belly. "We love you too" with that I fall to a deep slumber.
After 3 weeks Everything is going smoothly, my pregnancy and the case. Ace told me that, we are winning and I shouldn't be worried. My mom and his mom keep spoiling me, they keep giving me everything I craved, the food that I want, for short I'm spoiled. Ace don't like it but he can't do anything, he just remind me to eat healthy and limit my salty and sweet food. I obeyed, I want him to not worry about me too. I can handle myself! Plus he's handling the house that we planned. He's doing everything and I'm worried. I always tell him to rest, eat and drink water. He assured me that he will if I follow his orders.
I was interrupted when my mother shouted, "Lina, dress up. We're going somewhere" I take a bath and wear an over-size sweater and baggy pants. Then get a black shoulder bag and put on some accessories. I get my white rubber shoes and tie my hair into a high ponytail before going down. I don't bother putting on makeup, I just put on a lipstick and mascara.

"Where are we going, mom?" I ask curiously. "We're going to eat outside" I make an ohh face then go with them. The car starts moving and after a while I fall asleep.
I wake up when I heard my phone ringing, I look around and it's already close to night time. What? I answer the call, "Who's this?" They didn't even wake me up. "It's me baby, come on out and follow the candles" with eyebrows furrowed, I step out and saw a path with candles at the side. I slowly follow it and talk, "what's happening?" I ask. "You'll see, bye!" With that he hang up. I continue following the candles and stop when I heard the sound of the beach. Where are at the beach? What? I must've been asleep for a long time for me not to notice this. I look up and saw a gazebo with a familiar man standing on it. I curiously walk towards it and saw Ace. "Ace!" I called. I rush to him and hug him.
I pull away and look around, we are the only ones there and the place it's decorated with small fairy lights. There's a table for two in the middle with 2 plates that are covered. "Why are we here?" I look at him and he look nervous. "I want to have a date with you" he told me not looking straight to my eyes. "Ace, I know you're lying. It's not just a date, if you want us to date we could to it at home. Watch movies and cuddle" I stated.
He sigh, "okay fine...the reason why we're here because...of this" then he kneel down in front of me. "Baby, since the day that I met you, you intrigued me. The feistiness and bravery that you have, it makes me want to know you more. When I heard your mom talking about you not eating properly at work, I volunteered to always remind you and make you eat, just to get know you. As the day goes by, I was slowly falling in love. I love you, Lina" I tear up, he actually do that just to get to know me. "Crystalline Nicole Quinn, would you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" Then he open a small velvet box. I gasp at how beautiful it is, it's a princess tiara rose gold ring with little diamonds on it.
I look up at him and make him stand up. "Just..."
