Along the way, with my eyes blindfold, I just thinking, what the hell is going on. I feel the car slowly stop. The driver open the door, then helping me out. I hear a women said "mam, I'll help you to the place" I just nodded my head, stay silent, she holding my hand and we walking together. She help me giving the direction so that I don't fall.

I feel we take elevator, then when the elevator open, she let me go then said " Mam, you can open the blindfold after count to 10"

I take a deep breath count slowly into 10 then open my blindfold. When I open my eyes, I see the light is dim, I walking forward, candles spread all over the place. I see Arthur standing in there. he wear black suit. He look incredible as usual. I smile at him, he hug me tight, then kiss my neck.

"Baby, you stunning as always, have dinner with me tonight" he murmured.

He help me sit in the chair, I look around, it seems like this is private room. I see a waiter come and bring wine and a glass of strawberry shakes. Still speechless and completely confused with everything what happen  today, I take a sip of my drink.

All the time Arthur staring at me, his eyes full of lust and passion emotion. He scoot his chair next to me, put his hand on my tight.

"Arthur, do we celebrate something ?" I said to him confused.

He smile but full passionate, "Baby, since the first time I laid my eyes on you, I know I love you already. I don't believe in love at the first sight, I never thought I will be able to love some one like this. When I see you and Mia, I know how precious both of you. At that time I swear I will make you mine, and only mine. I know I'm not your first, but I swear to god I'll be your last. I will cherish you, I will love and make you happy, and if you sad I will be there wipe your tear. I know ahead on our journey there will be a lot of problems. But I hope we will facing it together, and I wish you will always be there with me. Melanie Edison, will you marry me?" he pull out the diamond ring from his pocket, and kneel in front of me

I start crying, I know I love him so much, and I know how his affection to me, especially after his accident, I know I can't loosing him. He is the one and only I want. Still crying "Yes .. yes Arthur ... Oh god"

He stand then hug me tight, kissing me "baby, I love you"

I can't believe that I will going to be his wife. That night we dancing slowly, kissing passionately, just the two of us.

When we back home, I see Mia having conversation with Pierre. She turn her head to me and Arthur, Arthur just give signal to her nodded. She jumping then smiling widely "Come on Uncle Pierre, I won the bet, finally I'm going to have a completely family, I will be a big sister, and I have mom and dad who love me so much" her voice sound happy.

Pierre looking at Arthur "congratulated Sir, finally you found your love, Ms Edison is a wonderful women, I'm happy for you"

Arthur smiling "thank you Pierre, don't forget to give my wife a proper meal, she need strength for our baby" said sternly

Pierre just smiling and asking Mia to join him to the kitchen.

Arthur take me to our room, he help me get out from the dress, then he set the hot tub for me. Inside the bathroom, he ordered me to step into the tub. I sit in the tub, feeling relax, closing my eyes. I don't know when he open this suit, suddenly I feel Arthur come into the tub, join me. He sat behind me, massage my back slowly, kissing my back, then my neck, bite my ear lobe, I moan when he hit my sensitive spot.

"Baby, I will arrange with the wedding planner. You just give them the detail, let them doing their job. I don't want you tired." still kissing my sensitive spot. Can't bear with his assault, I moan and said yes to him. He know when to make me say yes to him without resistance. That night ended with we make love. He sleeping next to me, holding me tight, our feet strangled.

When I woke up, I see Arthur still sleeping, his hand in my belly. I kiss his forehead, he move a little, still hold me tight. "Morning baby, sleep okay?" his voice still sounded sleepy. He caressing my baby bump. I put my hand above his hand. He kiss my belly "morning little one, don't make mommy hard today okay". It become his habit when he seeing my baby bumps.

I get up from the bed, slip my clothes, then doing my morning business, then taking to shower. I get out from the bathroom, I see Arthur holding laptop in his lap, looking seriously, taking his shirt then wear it. I love wearing his shirt, always smells with his scent.

I walking down stairs, Pierre is making breakfast. Mia, sit in the chair eat her breakfast. I kiss the top of her head, take a seat beside her. She's finish her breakfast, then say goodbye to me. Take a sip of my drink, I see Arthur walking to the dining room. He told me that today I have meeting with the wedding planner.

"Eager so much don't you? I teasing him

He smile seductive "Hm, if I could, I marry you today, but I want a wonderful wedding for you, I willing to wait".

I laughter, after eat our breakfast I change my clothes, then waiting Arthur in the living room. Today the first time I accompany him to the office. Actually, since I meet him I never see and care about his work. Not because I don't care, I just don't feel pleasant with other opinion. Since he is billionaire, everyone know and respect him. I don't like when people staring at me, speak confidentially about me.

Sometimes when we going out to dinner or in the park, I see people looking at us like that. At first I felt so uncomfortable, but along the time I try to ignore, even sometimes I still feels scared. Checking my clothes,  I hope my appearance don't humiliating him. I don't notice he standing there watching me.

"Baby, you always fascinating, don't be scare will you. I guess today is the right time to introduction you to everyone as my soon to be wife" he tempt me

Walking straight to him, I punch his chest. He just laughter harder then kiss me slowly. Living with him is like roller coaster, I take a deep breath, then we walking to his car.
