CHAPTER 42

NADIA'S POV

Thursday,
Three weeks later...

What was I dreading the most. The decision making, all the choices. One thing I was eagerly anticipating but low-key never wanted to be apart of.

Wedding planning.

We had initially wanted It to be small tight nit, family and close friend's but both our mother's thought otherwise. It was only the beginning but I was already waking up and going to sleep exhausted. It had gotten to the point where Raheem said I should take the next couple of months off from work. But in all honesty all the event planning for before the actual wedding had turned into a full time job in itself.

We had decided- I had decided that we were going to have a spring wedding, so that gave us nine months. More than enough time for me to plan and to be ready to spend the rest of my life with this man.

"Baby, I think yo-" I glared at Raheem from where I was laying on the sofa in his office "we should get a wedding planner,"

"You think I can't do it in my own?"

"I think all the planning is draining you, and you could use a little extra help, is all"

"I'll think about it" I thought about it for a moment. He was right, I did need the help. I would still have the final say in everything, she or he would just be doing all the harder work. "Rara, I just had an idea! That obviously came from my mind and nowhere else"

The nickname had definitely grown on me and he hated it, so I naturally liked it even more.

"Yea, what is it?"

I quickly sat up straight on the sofa "I'm going to hire a wedding planner!"

"That's a great idea love, you're so smart"

"That sounded sarcastic." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"It was."

The door to the office burst open making me jump a little. "I hear congratulations are in order"

Oh God forbid

"No, sir I can't let you go in-" Samantha came stumbling in with a worried look on her face "there... I'm sorry Sir, he wouldn't take no for an answer and-"

"It's alright Samantha, you can go" Raheem nodded to her and she closed the door on the way out. "What do you want Lee?"

"I believe my invitation got lost in the mail, Sunshine" he said ignoring Raheems question.

"I haven't sent them out yet but I'll make sure it does" I smiled.

"...Anyways, Raheem I have an update on our  Mr. Anonymous"

Raheem glanced at me his face calculating. For some reason he didn't want me to hear what this update was and he definitely wasn't going to kick me out. So I sat comfortably with a small smile on my face ready to eavesdrop "Va bene, vai avanti (Okay, go on)"

Damn it!

My smile dropped into a frown and I slid down in my seat a bit. Lee looked at me then at Raheem confused but quickly got the message and continued in Italian. "Come sapete Dover non ha rinunciato molto dopo di voi... ha fatto le tue cose- (As you know Dover didn't give up much after you...did your thing-)"
