Chapter 17
What was the scariest thing that I've come across in my twenty years of life? I've asked those questions when I went to sleep or either when I couldn't concentrate on my economics classes, it wasn't a random question and there was no hell in need to think of those things but I had never stopped thinking even in my mind. Yeah, I know I am that talkative(mentally)
Till ten minutes ago, I didn't have any clue but now, I did. It was my father's death glare at Ethan and myself. Ethan resembled a teenager who got caught making out with his first girlfriend by his mother and I resembled a shaking leaf.
Fun facts; 1. Ethan is a CEO of one of the biggest companies in the whole of New york.
Chapter 18I pulled the sheets over my head trying to block out the voices and unwanted feelings especially for the billionaires that live down the street. It has been four freaking days since the night he asked me to marry him, the Memories were still fresh as new. I thought that marriage wasn't supposed to make me happy, No. The thought of getting married scares me a lot, but Ethan proved me wrong, yet, again. How am I supposed to feel good when all I wanted was to jump and shout YES?I did the only rational thing that was appropriate for such situations, I fled and haven't stepped out of the world ever since. Of course, I was exaggerating a bit,I do visit peyton daily and went to work by avoiding the street where he lives.Safe to say, I took the abandoned road.
Chapter 19When I had stepped my foot on the bar, Never in my life would I have thought that I would be meeting Ethan Knight who was supposedly the person who went on a date with me for one night, Who was invited by my parents and who had asked me to marry him!The embarrassment flooded through my soul and it continued to spread till my toes. I wish the ground would swallow me up when Ethan strode over towards my direction with confidence and power radiating off his body.What are the odds of us meeting in a strip club after that night? What was he even doing here? I tried to dismiss the jealousy seeping through my heart and forced myself to remind myself that now isn't the time to get jealous.“Winter
Chapter 20I sat on the stool waiting for Ethan to whip me breakfast. My day started beautifully eventful with Ethan waking me up by peppering a feathery kisses all over my face. Who would have thought that I, Winter Fox would wake up with a man on his bed. Apparently, I, the same Winter Fox did that this morning. But did I regret it? No.I still need to figure out why Ethan out of all people wanted me to marry him but his proposal was far too good to turn down.Besides, he wanted to help with Peyton's treatment if I were to marry him. Fifty thousand dollars for the treatment was a huge sum of money and dancing or striping amongst the crowd of drunken town people can't earn that much money so I did the only rational t
Chapter 21Ethan rubbed my hand in a comforting way, I fiddled with my diamond ring which lay on my left finger which Ethan had put it on my finger at the last moment. Mom and dad sat across from Ethan and I oblivious to the turmoil rising inside my chest. However, Ethan was expectantly calm and very understanding with his gentle touch and reassuring looks.Now that I think about it,Ethan has always been gentle and easy to approach since the first date we went. He was different from any other Rich people my dad introduced to me. With that thought, I concluded that he's one of a kind. His extremely gorgeous and exotic look added to his polite and great personality reminded me that he was out of my reach yet here he was asking me to marry me. A smile lit up my face, Albeit my conscience telling me that I agreed to his propo
Chapter 22Ethan drives us through a dark tunnel which Ethan explains we were on the Hudson River and suddenly I am reminded of the fact that I’m passing the city of New York. It almost felt surreal and I had to ask Ethan to pinch me to which he laughed and pinched my cheeks.The car stopped in front of the most expensive looking penthouse. My jaw almost dropped in amazement when the sight of the most beautiful building stood in front of us. Ethan chuckled at my reaction but I was far too wonderstruck to care about him.“Welcome to my humble abode!” Ethan stretched his arms out in a dramatic way and grinned widely, might I add rather looking so unworldly.We walked up the el
Chapter 23 “My God, Are you sure she's your fiance?” Ethan's mom gasped audibly and peered over me, where I stood awkwardly with my knees crossed.“Yes,Mom I am sorry for not telling you earlier,” He sounded anything but sorry? Not so.“Goodness, Is heaven answering my prayers this time! Let me see my darling” Suddenly she was in front of me cupping my cheeks and inspecting me like I was some sort of science project led out for an experiment.“Look at you, So sweet and beautiful, I love her,son” Ethan's mom grinned at him to which he returned with an equally bright grin. Am I the only one who doesn't feel like grinning?&n
Chapter 24Ethan, and I walked through the massive, sparkling door that resembled a mansion. If I thought that Ethan's penthouse was the most amazing place I’ve ever seen, it was totally wrong because his family house is more like a castle and the walk to the staircases with Ethan on my side was nerve wrecking and I felt like a beggar that isn't deemed worthy to be his fiance. Just why would he want to marry me when he lived in a castle?“Winter! Welcome” it was his mother who greeted me with open arms and warm embrace.“Thank you for inviting us, Daisy,” I greeted, rather awkwardly, my gaze swimming around the marble walls and floor, that I was sure would catch my reflection.
Chapter 25Gwen gave me a tight smile and walked away leaving me with Ethan and my awkward self.“Can we leave now?” I approached him, looking away from the looks people were giving me.“Sure. Let's say goodbye to mom” he dragged me away from the spectators including Gwen who eyed us from the corner.Daisy was conversing with one of their relatives when we came to say our goodbyes. After exchanging promises to visit her again soon, Ethan and I left his huge mansion. Only when I landed in his apartment did I feel relaxed and breathe normally. Who knew meeting your soon to be in-laws could be so tiring and intimidating? If Ethan came from a humble, middle age class family, I&r
