The weeks following Martinus's public confirmation of their relationship were a whirlwind of media buzz, fan reactions, and a few overwhelming moments. But through it all, Y/N and Martinus grew stronger together, finding ways to support each other amid the chaos.
Now, they stood on the cusp of something new—a quiet getaway Martinus had planned to escape the frenzy of his world. It was a surprise destination, one he refused to reveal until they were nearly there.
As their car pulled up to a stunning lakefront cabin nestled in the mountains, Y/N gasped. The glass-walled structure overlooked a shimmering lake surrounded by towering pines, the late afternoon sun casting a golden glow across the water.
"Martinus," she breathed, turning to him. "This is... incredible."
He grinned, taking her hand as they stepped out of the car. "I wanted to bring you somewhere where we could just... be us. No cameras, no pressure. Just you and me."
Her heart swelled as she followed him inside. The cabin was cozy yet modern, with a crackling fireplace, plush furniture, and a balcony that opened up to a breathtaking view of the lake. Tico, Martinus's loyal dog, trotted in excitedly, already exploring the space.
Martinus led her to the balcony, where a small table was set for two with candles and a bouquet of wildflowers. "Dinner's already handled," he said, his smile soft. "I wanted tonight to be special."
Y/N laughed, shaking her head in disbelief. "You're amazing, you know that?"
He wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder as they both gazed out at the water. "I just want to show you how much you mean to me," he murmured. "You've given up so much to be with me, and I don't take that lightly."
"You're worth it," she said simply, turning to face him. "Every single moment."
Dinner was filled with laughter, easy conversation, and the kind of connection that felt effortless. Martinus shared stories from his childhood, memories of growing up with Marcus and their journey in music. Y/N shared her own dreams and how meeting him had changed her life in ways she hadn't expected.
As the stars began to fill the sky, Martinus stood and extended his hand. "Come with me."
Curious, Y/N let him lead her down a small trail that wound toward the lake. The moonlight reflected off the water, and the cool night air was filled with the sounds of crickets and the gentle lapping of the waves.
At the edge of the dock, Martinus stopped and turned to her, his expression serious. Her heart raced as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.
"Y/N," he began, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "I've thought about this moment for a long time. From the day I met you, my life hasn't been the same. You've shown me what it means to truly love and be loved, and I can't imagine my future without you."
Her breath hitched as he dropped to one knee, opening the box to reveal a delicate ring—a simple yet stunning design that reflected everything she loved about him.
"Will you marry me?" he asked, his eyes shining with hope.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she nodded, unable to speak. "Yes," she finally whispered, her voice trembling. "A thousand times, yes."
Martinus slipped the ring onto her finger before standing and pulling her into his arms. They kissed under the stars, the world around them fading into nothingness as they held onto each other.
The next morning, as the sun rose over the lake, Y/N woke to find Martinus already awake, sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee. She joined him, her hand instinctively resting on the new ring that now graced her finger.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked softly.
He turned to her, his smile warm and filled with love. "How lucky I am," he said simply. "How much I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."
She leaned into him, her head resting on his shoulder as they watched the sunrise together. It was a new beginning, a promise of forever, and for the first time, Y/N felt truly at peace.
No matter what challenges lay ahead, they knew they could face them together. Their love was strong, resilient, and ready to take on the world.
And with that, their story began a new chapter—one filled with hope, love, and the promise of forever.
