Maxine’s Pov:
My eyes dilated in shock as I stared at the tiny glittering ring in front of me.
At that moment, I felt numb and couldn’t comprehend what was going on.
What was happening? Was I dreaming or something?
Is Noah actually…
No; this is probably a dream.
“Maxine” his cold voice broke into my thoughts and i shivered.
My legs wo-bbled as I suddenly felt a strong energy surge into me.
I was confused and perplexed.
What’s happening? How can Noah ask me to marry him?
I mean…how? Why?
“What do you think?” He asked as he turned the ring properly to face me, but I still couldn’t find the right words to say.
I was overly shocked.
“I…” I tried speaking out but shut myl-ips out of confusion.
He sighed and held my hand.
“I un-derstand how you feel, Maxine. And I completely un-derstand if its coming as a shock to you. Its just that…the nee-d is kinda urgent. My dad – he wants me to get married urgently in order to claim the company and…the truth is – I’m not in any relationsh!pat the moment. And there isn’t a single lady on earth that’s on my mind right now for marriage.
“But, I’ve got just a few days left and…I’ve observed you for some days now and gotten to know you’re a nice lady. So…I was hoping you’d want to…you know? Marry me” he said and I scoffed ruefully.
“Anyway, I un-derstand if you nee-d some time to think about it. I mean, definitely, you should nee-d some time. You ba-rely know me. So…I’ll just wait for your response” he concluded and closed the box, fixing it back into his trou-ser pocket.
Oh, goodness!
A tear threatened to drop but I batted it back, not wanting to weep at that moment. I couldn’t un-derstand what was going on.
Did Noah really ask me to marry him? Like…become his wife?
But…its just because of the company?
Oh, God!
“I um…I’ll just see the doctor” he said as he stood on his feet and I just muttered an “okay” before he left.

ru-by’s Pov:
Tammy and I waited anxiously in the dark unkempt room and not long after, the door opened and mum was brou-ght in, chained like criminals.
Oh my God!
“Mum!” Tammy called immediately and sprang on her feet, but the policemen beside us didn’t let her to go any closer.
I tapped her to sit and she did.
“Mom” she winced as they were made to sit in front of us, a table separating us.
“My babies” she cooed and t©uçhed our cheeks.
“How’re you doing?”
“Where’s dad?” I asked, looking behind.
“He’s still in his cell – I guess. They couldn’t bring both of us out of the cell” she replied and Tammy covered her mouth with her palm and wept.
“What the hell happened, mum? Why are you locked here? Are the rumors true?” I asked tearfully but she couldn’t reply as she just bent her head in sombre.
Oh God!
“Did you really do it? D..did you really kill Maxine’s parents?” I asked again and she sniffed and lifted her head to look at me.
“Don’t worry, dear. All your question will be answered in court. But for now, I just nee-d you two to take care of yourself. And don’t worry, we’ll definitely get out of this” she said.
“But how…?” Tammy squealed and busted into more tears.
“What if you’re unable to win the case, mum? You might get stuck in jail”.
“Don’t worry, ru-by. It won’t get to that”.
“Your time is up” one of the policemen said in a ha-rd voice and I shut him a stare.
“Come on, officer. It isn’t like she’s going back to the cell to cook or something. Let’s just spend a little more time together” Tammy pouted and held mum’s hand.
“That’s enough. Come on” another officer said as he c@m£ close and gr!pp£dmum’s hand.
“Don’t worry, girls. Everything will be fine. I promise” she said ruefully as the policemen took her away.
“Mum! No!” Tammy cried and hvgged me.

She kept crying all throu-gh the way home – on the streets, in the cab and the rest of the walk down home.
I was holding her the whole time and kept consoling her. I mean, that was all I could do at that moment – being her eldest.
Surprisingly, when we got to the gate of the house, we found the gateman sitting on the floor.
Huh? What’s going on?
We fastened our steps and got to where he was.
“Hey; what’s wrong? Why are you here?” I asked immediately and he shook his head and stood up.
‘Some authorities had showed up while you were away and locked up the house. They said its now in Maxine’s possession” he explained and I flin-ched.
What??

Maxine’s Pov:
Hours later, I returned home with Noah since the doctor said I was good to go and I didn’t really like the idea of staying in the hospital after all.
“Maxine!” Charlene called and ran to me as soon as we stepped into the house.
“Hey”,I chuckled and exchanged a brief hvg with her.
“It worked, didn’t it?” She asked with a smile and I nodded.
Then, she embr@ced me again.
“Sorry about this.. And sorry I couldn’t make it to the hospital. You know my condition”, she said.
“Yes, yes. Its fine. You don’t nee-d to worry about it”.
“Come on, Maxine” Noah said and accompanied me to my room.
“You know what the doctor said. You nee-d a lot of rest” he told me as he helped me sit on the be-d.
“Yeah…thanks”.
I sat up and leaned my back on the wall.
“I’ll get you some coffee” he further said and I nodded before he left the room.
I took in a de-ep breath and stared up at the ceiling.
Oh, God!
Finally, it’s almost getting over. And all that’ll be left to do is getting them kicked in jail for the rest of their miserable life.
But Oscar…
I just pray the police finds him soon.
After a while, Noah returned with the cu-p of h0t coffee and sat in front of me on the be-d.
“Here. If its too h0t, you let me know”, he said as he handed it carefully to me and I sipped from it.
Ouch! It was quite hurt.
I blew air into it and in a short time, it was moderate.
“So…what would you want for dinner?” He asked and I quic-kly thought about it.
Am I even having appetite?
“Um….I don’t know for now. Maybe I’ll decide after this coffee” I replied and he nodded and watched me gulp down the rest of the coffee.
When I was done, he collected the cu-p form me and was about standing up when I suddenly held him back.
His lashy eyes bored into mine.
“Is…there a problem?” He asked and I nodded, then shook my head afterwards.
“I just…”
I paused and bit my lowerl-ip.
“About your proposal, its urgent, right?”
“Um…yeah. It is. I’ve got just a few days left” he replied, now seeming interested.
Oh! Maxine.
“Do you have something to say?”, he j£rked me out of my thoughts and I bit my l!pagain.
“Actually, I…
“I just wanted to say…I’ll do it. I mean…I’ll marry you”. I replied nervously.

Maxine’s Pov;
I saw sparkles in his eyes as soon as I said that.
I also felt my heart skip in accordance, feeling so shy and nervous.
“Um…are you sure about it?” He asked and all I could do was nod.
Then, he smiled and di-pped his hand into his trou-ser pocket, bringing out the ring box and opening it in front of me.
He pu-ll-ed out the ring, took my hand and sli-pped it throu-gh my engagement f!nger.
Oh God!
“Thank you, Maxine” he said with a smile and did away with the empty box.
But somehow, I felt bad because he was actually getting married to me for the company alone.
Because he urgently nee-ded a wife.
“Um…so, have you decided on what to eat?” He asked as he took hold of the mug again.
“Uh…not really. I think I just nee-d some rest for now” I replied and moved dee-per into the be-d.
“Sorry, Maxine. Can I…get a k!ssfrom you?” He asked and my eyes beamed.
Huh?
I stared at him – speechless and surprised – and he smiled and drew closer, planting a soft k!sson myl-ips.
Oh my Gosh!
“Goodnight. I’ll come check up on you later” he replied and stood up after covering me up with the duvet.
I didn’t say a word and watched him leave.

Noah’s Pov:
Yes! Yes! I knew she was gonna do it!
Perfect!
I chuckled as I walked into my room and fell on the be-d, beaming with smiles.
Ahhh
Finally; everything’s falling into place.
I reached for my phone and put a call throu-gh to dad. And thankfully, he picked up at the right time.
☎Noah” he called immediately like he was expecting my call or something.
☎Hey, pupsy. Wats up?” I asked cheerfully and could tell he was definitely surprised.
☎I’m….fine. Is everything okay?”
☎Yes, yes of course. Everything’s perfectly fine. I um…just called to remind you of the dinner tomorrow. I hope everything’s still in place?” I asked.
☎Well…of course. We’re waiting. You seem pretty excited, Noah. Who’s She?” He asked and I laughed.
☎Don’t worry, dad. You’ll get to know her tomorrow” I replied and dropped the call.
Hmm.
‘By weekend, we should be married’ i thought with a smile.

Audrey’s Pov:
I was helping Ella out with her as-signments when my phone awakened with a ring.
“Hold on, baby” I told her as reached for the phone and received the call.
It was Rex.
☎Hello?” I said tiredly.
☎Hi, Audrey. What’s up?” He replied breezily.
☎Yeah, I’m fine and you?”
☎I”m great. I uh…just wanted to remind you of the dinner tomorrow. Hope you’re gonna show up?” He asked and I sighed and t©uçhed my head.
☎But Rex.. Is it really necessary for me to come? I…”
☎Come on, Audrey. Its just for fun. It’s just a house stuff – having dinner with me, my parents and…”
He suddenly paused and I scoffed.
☎And Noah? Will Noah be there?” I asked and he muttered a “yeah”.
☎Well, I don’t really see it as a big deal because its just Noah. Besides, you used to be the best couples. So, it’s no big deal dropping by to say hi to him. Come on, Audrey. Its been years now”.
I exhaled de-eply and stared up at the ceiling.
Oh, God!
Noah…
☎Okay..fine. I’ll be there” I replied and felt him smile.
☎Awesome. Thank you, Audrey. I’ll check up on you later”.
☎Okay. Bye”
And I dropped the call.
Gosh! Am I really re-ady to see Noah?
Its been over 5 years alre-ady now.
Although…I wouldn’t deny missing him.
I itched my head and cogitated for a while.
Well…I guess I’ll just go for it anyway.
