Sparkles : Shine (Book #3) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 14

"Where's Naomi?" Alana asks as soon as the car stops and each of the Russo walks out.

"Good to see you too mom" Richard smiles as he makes his way towards his mother.

"Richie?" she asks her husband.

"Her parents want us to ask Naomi's hand in marriage and then plan a real wedding" Richie explains.

"The what are you all doing here? We should go and ask her hand that is it actually is done" Alana points eyeing Ricardo who clears his throat before he makes his way towards Gabby as she runs out of the house.

"Where's Naomi?" Gabby asks as she looks behind her husband.

"Missed you too, Precious" Ricardo smiles as he cups her face to drop a kiss but she pushes his face away moving to where Alana was.

"She is not here?"

"They want a real wedding" Alana points and Gabby pouts before she eyes Richard walking his way she pats on his shoulder.

"I even put flower petals on your bed but guess no use" she sympathizes.

"Her mother wants a prenup" Richard announces and Alana gasps along with Gabby.

"What's prenup?" Gabby asks turning towards her husband.

"This is so fabulous, oh Rich you have a perfect wife, so responsible" Alana gushes and Gabby moves towards her husband.

"What's prenup?" she asks him and he sighs.

"Nothing for you to worry" he points.

"You are happy?" Richard frowns and Alana nods her head.

"Did her mother demand dowry as well, tell her I will give them anything" Alana smiles.

"How come your mother is giving dowry while my father did not even get the offer?" Gabby whispers to Ricardo who stands quiet.

"Mom, men don't give dowry they take it" Richard sighs as he puts his arms around his mother turning her towards the home.

"Who cares, let's offer them dowry, what if they change their mind and decide to not give their daughter to you?" she worries.

"I am sure they won't do that" he sighs as they walk in.

"But you may never know, give me Naomi's number I will talk with her mother, how about we give Naomi's parents some shares of our company?"

"You want to bribe them?" he chuckles.

"It's called caring for your in-laws" Alana smiles.

"I am sure the prenup will be more than enough, mom" Richard chuckles.

"Oh, how about, we invest on their company? We can ask Ricardo to look in to it, let's do something that they do not even have to think of the option no?" Alana states.

"Mom, let's just focus on my healing for now" he asks and Alana sighs as she pats on his chest.

"Yes, your healing is a must, so we can hurry to fly at her place and ask her hand. Don't you worry, we will have a wedding that everyone will remember for decades, no not decades, centuries" Alana grins and Richard just smiles and nods as they walk in.

"Let's have a prenup?" Gabby asks Ricardo who wraps his arms around his wife and pulls her away from the house.

"Prenup? You did not even give me a welcome home kiss" he points and laughs as she grabs his face and drop a kiss.

"There, now about our prenup" she points.
