Chapter 36 - Engaged

The following weekend.....

I went to court and filed a restraining order against James and finally there was a feeling of freedom in my life.

It was something i always wanted to do.

When I got home I went straight to my room and

My mind wandered to Damien. He forbade me from going to work. Claiming that stress could harm the baby.

I rubbed my belly and smiled. I'm going to have a family soon. My own blood.

My phone vibrated beside me and I checked the caller id. It was none other than my beloved.

Hey babes, how you doing? where are you? I'm fine and so is the baby. I'm at home.

I made a reservation for us at a restaurant today at 2pm, he said.

I checked the time and it was already half an hour past one.

Okay, I'll be right there soon, i replied and hung up.

I stood up and went to take a quick bath.

I wore a black gown with a long slit in the front and I did a simple makeup and curled my hair. I checked my reflection and was satisfied.

I arrived at the venue and looked around for Damien. I saw him sitting at the VIP side and went to him.

He spotted me and his mouth fell wide open.

He stared at me for a long while, i felt self conscious.

Is there something wrong? I asked.

No, you look amazing, he said.

He stood up and pull out my chair. The waiter gave me the menu.

I choosed a simple dish he also ordered the same thing as mine.

When we finished eating and was on dessert when damien stood up, got down on one knee and pulled out a red box.

He opened it and I saw a huge diamond ring.

Will you marry me, Ivory?

My eyes welled up as everyone started recording us.

My knees hurt, he said and i burst into laughter.

Yes, I will marry you, i replied, still crying.

He slid the ring on my finger and I couldn't stop crying.

He stood up and kissed me and everyone in the restaurant cheered for us.
