"He said, 'Wear a red dress,' Why would he ask me to wear a red dress specifically?" I said as I did my hair.

"He must be taking you to a ball or something." Chloe replied.

Darius asked me out on a date again but this time he wants me to specifically wear a red dress. I'm on a FaceTime call with Chloe who's helping me out with my dress and hair.

"He knows I'm not a ball-going type of person. I barely attend parties even. If it's not in the family, it's not worth attending." I said, pinning a strand of my hair with a bobby pin.

"Maybe he's taking you to see an opera." Chloe suggested.

"If I don't got to parties, I don't go to operas either, Chlo." I said in a 'duh' voice.

"Fuck that. I'm sorry. I'm just stressed about Adam's reaction when I tell him." She said, running a hand in her hair.

Chloe's pregnant.

"I understand that it's new for you guys but trust me, you guys will be great parents." I assured her.

"That's not the point. We have a whole family to help us with the baby and when it comes, no one else will be as happy as the both of us." Chloe said.

"Then what's the problem?" I asked as I slipped into my dress.

"Courtney's due date is in two weeks but it's different. Both her and Adan are out of the Mafia mess for good. On the other, Adam is the head of Pericoloso and I'm the first lady. It's going to put all of us in danger." Chloe said and suddenly Aunt Katherine's voice replied her.

"Chloe, can I talk to you?"

She appeared on the screen and I waved at her.

"Hi, Aunt Kath." I said.

"Hie baby. Can Chloe call you later? I need to have a talk with her." She said.

"Sure." I said and after bidding goodbye to them, I cut the call.

I continued getting ready by my own for the next 30 minutes after which I took off to meet Darius at the restaurant he asked me to come at.

"The view is beautiful." I said as I saw the Budapest's night view from the top floor of this restaurant tower.

"Not more than you. You look gorgeous." Darius complimented me and kissed my cheek.

"Thanks. So, what's the occasion? What's with this sudden dinner date?" I asked as I turned around, resting my back on the railing, wrapping my hands around his neck.

He bought me closer to him by his hands on my waist. He dipped and kissed my lips before fishing out a ring box from his pocket.

My eyes widened at that and my thoughts ran wild. Wtf?!

"Darius, what're you doing?" I asked in a serious voice.

"Diletto, calm down I'm not proposing a marriage." He said and I heard him mumble a, "yet." I decided to ignore it, for now.

"This is a promise ring. I want you to think of me all the time and hence I'm gifting you this ring. You know how I said, you need to fulfil 3 wishes of mine. Well, this is my second wish." He said and kneeled before me.

"Sara Woodwords, the day I met you roughly 17.5 months back, you stunned me with your beauty and wit. You are the most intelligent woman I've crossed, the most loving person I know and the most affectionate girl that I've ever met. The past 6 weeks that I've know you were the best 6 weeks of my life. You are the first woman ever to entice me, the first woman ever to enchant me and the first woman ever to endear me. Your smile, your silly jokes, your carefree nature, your stupid tv shows and your beautiful heart. I want to cherish everything about you and I want you to allow me to give you as much happiness and you've given me. I like you Sara Woodwords. With this ring I want myself to be officially yours.

Will you be my girlfriend?"

He asked and I vigorously nodded my head.

He broke into a smile and got up, sliding the ring on my right ring-finger.

"It's beautiful." I said and he kissed my hand, agreeing.

I cupped his face and kissed his lips.

"And, I've got a gift for you." He walked towards our table and bought a jewellery box with him.

He opened it to reveal a ruby-diamond necklace.

"For my girlfriend." He said and I opened my mouth to deny it but he cut me off.

"Don't you dare deny it." He warned and turned me around. He swept my hair to one side and made me wear it.

"You look even better than I imagined." He said as I turned to look at him.

"Thank you." I said and kissed him again.

"You're welcome, baby." He said and I wrapped my arms around him, giving him a kiss but pulled away shortly.

"Darius, we're not from the same background. It's gonna be intricate." I said as I looked at my promise ring.

"I don't care how complicated things get, I want to be with you. Deal with it." He growled in my ear.

"Oh, I will." I said throwing my arms around him.

World can suck it! I wanna be with this amazing man right here and I will be. I don't care about them.
