Emliys pov

After all the explaining and convincing ,finally everything was back to normal .The winner's was announced and of course we won . I was soo happy for the doctor and I guess even the boys where happy cause at the end of the day they did this to get our attention .I explained Drake the whole situation and about the doctor's sister's wish and everything. Drake did feel guilty for his actions and admitted that he had all this out of jealous .

His actions kinda made me feel special ,Cause he had done all this for me and to prove that he really loves me .Over all everything ended in a happy note and we came back to the bungalow. So today night was the last day of our stay and aunty had organized at party at the night. So me and Eva immediately went upstairs to get ready.

Drakes pov:

"Where are the girls ?Are they planning to take the whole night to get ready ?"James asked ,sipping his glass of wine .

"Don't know brother .I am all nervous  for tonight .Tonight's a big deal for me ." I said gulping down the whole glass of the wine in one go .I was restless and nervous for tonight .

"Don't worry .Keep calm and just be your usual self ." 

Ok ,So a little back story, You all know that forced Emliy into this marriage and she was not even ready for it nor did she love me .But now everything has changed ,I know she loves me .So this time I want to give her a proper proposal and break the contracted marriage to start a real one .

I was about 90% sure that she would agree to me .But I still had that 10 % fear .What if she rejects .I know she loves me ,but what is she is not ready for the whole real marriage thing .No No Drake don't worry about it .You have been able to convenience her in the past and you will be able to convenience her in the future as well. Trust you're self after all you are Drake KNIGHT .

I just nodded my head however I couldn't calm myself .I started glancing here and there to find the peace of my mind.Her.

I looked around and studied the environment .The Chang's Villa filled with hundreds of people. Mr.Chang and aunty suzie were dressed in their traditional Chinese cloths and were busy welcoming their guests whereas their other relatives were attending other guests .

I shifted my gaze from the lovebirds and started looking around .I found the three girls from yesterday's competition dancing on the dance floor on one of their Chinese traditional songs and few male guests were drooling over them.

I could see everyone in the party but the one person ,one particular girl who stole my heart from me ,the one person I was dying to see was nowhere to be seen .

where are you Emliy?

Calling her by her first name automatically brings smile on my face .It makes me feel that we have come one step closer .I smiled at that thought.

"Drake ,where's Emliy ? My sisters are dying to meet her ." Aunty suzie asked keeping her hand on my left shoulder .

"She 's in the room maybe -" I was cut off in the middle when I noticed aunty Suzie looking behind me through my shoulder with dilated eyes.

I slowly turned behind and suddenly I started feeling the lack of oxygen .I was unable to breathe properly .It was like my breathe got hitched .

"Drake ......" Aunty suzie started saying something but my mind wasn't in the state of processing any of her words.

I was busy admiring the breathtaking beauty descending the stairs in her red gown with her hair left down with lose curls with a flower wreath on her head and minimal makeup on her face .Can anyone be so beautiful? Can anyone be so mesmerizing that you even forget how to breath? My mind kept questioning.

And my mind answered on it's own when my eyes saw her coming closer to me .Yes, she is the answer to all my questions .

My legs automatically started moving towards her and stopped just an inch from her .She looked so gorgeous that I wanted to kiss the hell out of her but being a gentleman, I Took her right hand into mine and without averting my eyes from hers I held It to my mouth to kiss it ,But before my lips could make contact with her hand ,she took it away and walked past me leaving me hanging there.

What the heck?

She walked towards aunty suzie and hugged her and so did Eva ignoring James also.

"Why are they behaving like this ?" James came and stood beside on my right .

"If they are planning to this then I am not sure that this party is going to go well ." I said loosing my tie a little to  ease myself . 

*************************

"She is Emliy Knight ,the girl I was talking about .She is like a daughter to me ." Aunty Suzie said proudly which made Emliy look at her with shock followed by a genuine smile on her face.

That smile of yours is gonna take my life someday ,Emliy .

"Nice to meet you ,Honey And you look so handsome Drake .You're a lucky man." A lady in her late  60s said the former part to Emliy and the latter to me .I nodded my head proudly.

"Yes ,That I am .I am really lucky to have her as my women ." I said and pulled Emliy closer to me by her waist .The ladies giggled and Emliy blushed .

"You are making me insane today ".I huskily whispered into her ear brushing my lips on her ear .she looked at me with wide innocents eyes an then blushed harder making her cheeks grow dark shade of pink. "Go to the hidden garden ,I will meet you there 5 mins later .She looked at me curiously ,must she obeyed me excused her self and headed to the garden.

Drake smiled .

But what they did not know was someone was watching this the whole time and also headed to the garden with a big smile on their face .
