Bethel’s Pov:
“How long does it have to take, Ryan?” I asked impatiently as he kept driving for what seemed like forever to me.
“Chill, Bethel. Come on” he grouse and I rolled my eyes.
Well, I couldn’t wait to see the surprise.
I sighed and brou-ght out my phone, going throu-gh the net.
Hm.
“This stuff is really trending online, Ryan: Gentle Aura caught hvgging a strange lady in front of an h0tel” I re-ad out the headline to him.
I couldn’t believe Nicole’s picture was all over the net.
“When will you be going to see your dad?” He suddenly asked and my countenance changed.
“I don’t know” I muttered.
“I don’t think I even wanna see him”.
“Bethel…”
“I’m just scared, Ryan” I cut him off, calmly tho.
“That man tried to kill me! He’d have consciously cut off every p@rt of my b©dy just to gain what?? The company?” I scoffed.
“Chill, Bethel. I’m not trying to ask you to forgive him” he said and I looked at him.
Huh?
“I was actually looking for a way to convince you to stay away from him, but thank goodness you’re ma-king it easy for me alre-ady.
“He doesn’t deserve to be called a father. He abandoned you for nineteen years and when he suddenly shows up, he f0rç£s your own brother to d@t£ you and in the end, he abducted you and tried to kill you all because of a fv¢king company. That’s bulls*it and I wouldn’t want the mother of my kids to have anything to do with him. He doesn’t even feel any remorse” he said bitterly.
I sighed and placed my hand on his cheek.
“Its okay. Let’s worry about something else, okay?” I told him.
“Well, we have nothing to worry about” he replied and almost immediately, st©pped the car.
I looked around and discovered we were in front of an estate.
Wow!
“Are we there?” I asked, wondering what the surprise could be.
He smiled and stepped out of the car before coming to open mine for me.
I c@m£ out as well and had a look around.
Wow! It was beautiful!
Just like half – heaven.
The estate was so beautiful and dreamy. There were so many houses on it and looked just the same!
But why are we here?
I kept looking around and didn’t even bother to ask Ryan again”
“Its yours, Bethel” he said and I g@sped.
Whaaaat?
I flin-ched and quic-kly turned to look at him.
What’s he talking about?
“The estate…is yours” he repeated himself, obviously noticing the perplexed look on me.
Huh?
“Mine?” I asked, pointing to my che-st.
He smiled and nodded.
What the…
But how? How can someb©dy actually buy an estate?? How possible?? An estate with so many houses on it??
How can Ryan buy something that expensive?
I g@sped and looked at him.
“Ryan!” I exclaimed, not knowing what to say.
I was overly shocked.
“The estate is mine?” I tried to find my words.
“Yes – from now on, you’ll be in charge of collecting the rents form of all the occu-p@n-ts. They’re all yours”. He explained
A tear escaped my eye.
This alone was enough to make me a billionaire.
Oh my God!
“Ryan!” I whimpered.
“Hey, come here” he cooed and pu-ll-ed me in a hvg.
I buried my face in his che-st and wept. This was just too much.
“You should know this, Bethel. What’s mine is yours. My wealth – they all belong to you now. Your just gained the heart of Ryan Winthrop and congratulations, you’ve made me insane – insane for you”. He said as he patted me on the Back while I remained speechless.
I love you, Ryan, I said in my heart.
I thank the heavens for bringing us together. I don’t think there could have been anyone more perfect for me. I promise to always love you to the very end…till we grow old and death do us p@rt

Authoress Chi Pov
5 year old Zach and Zoe ran around the sitting room as their mother climbe-d down the stairs with the heavily loaded baby’s bag.
“Give me back my phone!” Zach yelled at his sister as she kept giggling and running around the sitting room with him.
Bethel looked at them and shook her head.
They might just end up hurting themselves.
“Come on, Zoe. Give it back to him” she announced and Zoe st©pped running, breathing heavily.
“Fine! You can have your trash back” she rolled her eyes and returned the phone to him, pushing it to his che-st.
“You’re lucky” he mumbled.
“You nee-d to be careful this time around, Zach. You know, your daddy just got you this phone yesterday. I wonder why you had to misplace the previous one” Bethel said as she finally got to the sitting room and settled down on a seat.
“You’re looking beautiful, mum. Daddy said I look like you” Zoe complemented, revea-ling her dimpled smile.
“Oh! plea-se, you don’t look like mum. You’re not as pretty as mum” Zach tea-sed.
“That’s a lie?! My friends do tell me I’m more good looking than you” Zoe defended.
“Your friends? You mean Dwayne?” Zach scoffed and Bethel’s eyes beam.
“Dwayne?” She repeated.
That’s Shirley’s son.
“Yes, mum. Zoe has been crushing on Dwayne the entire time!” Zach replied.
“And guess what, mum? Zach never misplaced his phone! He actually gave it out to Ramona because he likes her!” Zoe retorted, ma-king Zach fume.
What the heck??
Bethel opened her mouth in amusement. Are these children serious???
“How long has this been going on, kiddies?” She asked, placing her hands on her w@!st.
“You’re crushing on Dwayne, you like Ramona. Who’s Ramona by the way?”
“She’s an ugly lady in school, mum…”
“She isn’t ugly!” Zach cut her off.
“Even her hair is prettier than your face” he added with a huff and Bethel was f0rç£d to laugh.
She could completely see Ryan in him.
“I’m gonna talk to dad. You’re leaving my school”Zoe fumed.
“Your school? In case you’re forgetting, little sis, the school belongs to both us! Daddy opened it in our name, okay? Zach and Zoe Day School. So, you’re not the only one in control” Zach tea-sed.
“Are you two fighting again?” His endearing voice was suddenly heard and Bethel turned to see him climbing down the stairs, holding the 4 weeks old little angel like an egg.
She smiled and watched him as he dr!pp£din gold. He wouldn’t let her t©uçh the baby.
“Daddy! You wouldn’t believe what Zach told me!” Zoe pouted and ran to him.
“She’s lying dad! Don’t believe a word from that insect.” Zach said after her as he ran to also defend himself.
They blocked Ryan on the stairs, both gibbering.
Ryan shook his head and sighed while Bethel laughed.
“Fine! Fine! Fine! I believe both of you, okay?” He managed to cut them off and they made way for him to pas-s, both not looking satiated.
“How’s Renee, dad?” Zach asked, referring to the slee-ping princess in his hands
“Oh! She’s perfectly fine with me…don’t you think?” He asked and looked at Bethel.
Bethel smiled and stood up and immediately, he k!$$£d her- a snogging k!ss.
“You look good” he said almost in a whisper and she blu-shed.
“Thanks. And you look…as charming as ever” she also said and he chuckles and pe-cked her on the cheek.
They turned and saw the kids staring at them.
Oh – no.
“Okay; come on, come on. We have a wedding to attend” Ryan said hastily and headed for the door and Bethel and the children chuckled and followed.

“Nicole Williams, do you take Michael Peterson to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold, for better for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do you p@rt?” The priest announced as Nicole stood face to face with her charming groom – Gentle Aura”.
“Yes, I do” she replied after taking a de-ep breath.
Smiles ran across the faces of the congregation as the priest moved onto the marriage rites, asking Nicole to repeat after him.
“I, Nicole, take you Michael to be my lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish. And I promise to be faithful till death do us p@rt”.
The priest moved onto Gentle Aura and he repeated the same thing, his eyes lost into Nicole’s the whole time.
And finally, they were done with the marriage rites.
They wore on their rings – sparkling diamond rings – and were joined by the priest.
“With the powers vested in me by God Almighty, I hereby pronounce you, Nicole Williams and Michael Peterson husband and wife from this day on!”
Immediately, the hall almost went down with ovation as the entire congregation stood up and congratulated them.
They couldn’t st©p.
“You may k!ssyour bride” the priest managed to announce amidst the ovation and Gentle Aura happily unveiled his wife.

“Happy married life, bestie” Bethel said to Nicole as they pu-ll-ed away from the hvg.
“Thanks girlfriend!” She beamed, revea-ling all her teeth as a result of the wi-de smile.
She was overjoyed.
“I’m so happy for you, Nicole. Finally, you’ll have your own family” Bethel further said.
“Thank you, Bethel. Take a look at the ring!” She said excitedly and showed the glittering ring to Bethel.
They chuckled together.
“You know, this is all possible because of you” she said and Bethel wondered what she meant.
“That day, I was on my way to get your clothes to the hospital when I ran into him. Our friendsh!pgave me this gift”.
And Bethel g@sped lightly when she realized what she meant.
“I love you, girlfriend!” She squeaked and hvgged her again.
“Hey! I’ve been looking for you” Gentle Aura showed up, disrupting the moment.
He pu-ll-ed Nicole by the w@!st and k!$$£d her.
“Hi” Nicole smiled after the k!ss.
“Come on, now. It isn’t wise to leave your groom on his special day” Gentle Aura said and Nicole laughed.
“Enjoy the p@rty, Nicole” she waved at Bethel and left with Gentle Aura, going to attend to the numerous celebrity guests around.
(Oh, God! I nee-d a best friend like Nicole )
Bethel heaved a hvge sigh of relief and turned around to surprisingly bu-mp into the run-away she devil – Lady K.
“Hey” she smiled at Bethel as they stood face to face.
She was putting on a long red go-wn which expo-sed her cleavages – giving her the perfect Se-xy look.
“Hm. Never knew you were back in Dallas” Bethel said with her hands crossed.
“Oh, plea-se! Not really. I just c@m£ over for Michael’s wedding. He’s a friend of mine. I’ll be returning to Washington first thing in the morning” .
“Well, better. I think the air is more conducive without you” Bethel said and she laughed.
“Chill, Bethel. You’re not my problem anymore. I alre-ady have someone to occu-py my mind with” she sm-irked.
“Wow! Congrats! I just hope you didn’t snatch him from someone”. Bethel replied and she laughed.
“I heard you were now a mother of three. Congrats”.
“Yeah – thanks”.
“Baby” she heard Ryan’s voice from behind and turned to see him coming towards her with the little baby – Renee.
Awwn! She was crying.
He paused when he noticed Lady K, but still proceeded to meet her
“Here. She’s been crying the whole time” he said as he carefully handed her to her.
“Ryan…hi” Lady K greeted nervously.
He sh0t her a glare and took his eyes back to Bethel.
“Come on, love. Let’s go somewhere else” he said and she nodded and followed him.
They got to a quiet p@rt of the reception – un-der a tree – where they were sure they wouldn’t be disturbe-d.
The baby was still whining in her hands, despite the way she tried to pet her.
“I don’t know why she’s crying. I tried brea-stfeeding her, but you know, she’s as stubborn as her mother” Ryan said as they sat next to each other and she laughed.
“You’re Crazy, Ryan” she stated and loos£ned the ti-p of her dress so she could have access to her bo*bs.
She pu-ll-ed out her left bre*st and fixed it into the baby’s tiny littlel-ips and she gr@bb£d them immediately, attacking like her entire life depended on it.
It was so adorable, Ryan had to laugh.
“So, this was your problem all along?” He t©uçhed her chin as she closed her tiny eyes and su-cked from Bethel’s n!pplewith so much satisfaction.
“I can’t believe this was once mine” Ryan said wistfully,looking at her brea-sts.
Oh my God!!
“Will you st©p being n@ûghty, Ryan??” She f!ngered him and he laughed.
“Anyway, I’m glad they were taken away by my kids.
“You know bae, I’ve been thinking. What will I open for Renee? I mean, since I alre-ady opened a pre school and high school for Zach and Zoe, what should I open for Renee?” He asked thoughtfully,placing his chin on his hand.
Bethel shook her head and looked down at the su-ckling baby. This guy has been spoiling her kids right from their tender age. As little as Zach and Zoe were, they alre-ady saw gold and silver as something with no value. Even the frame around their wall mirror is made of gold.
Both of them had two cars – each. She’s tried talking to Ryan to reduce the way he spends on them, but he keeps telling her “you haven’t seen anything yet”.
Her phone started ringing and she checked and discovered it was Jackson.
Oh!
She used my free hand to pick it up immediately.
Hey, Jackson
She beamed on the phone.
“plea-se, tell him you’re feeding my baby” Ryan rolled his eyes and she laughed.
Hello sis
Jackson called on the phone.
Where the hell are you? You told me you’ll be coming for the p@rty.
She grouch.
Yeah, I know. I got hooked up with something. But, I’m on my way now.
Hm. Got hooked up with something or someone?
She asked suspiciously and he laughed.
Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon.
Okay…bye.
And he dropped the call.
“He said he’ll be here soon” she told Ryan as she returned the phone.
“I heard that” he shrugged.
She smiled and stared into space
The little angel was beginning to fall asleep with her n!pplestuck in her mouth.
“Its beautiful, right?” Ryan asked, referring to the breath taking galaxies.
“Yeah – she muttered.
“Baby, do you remember the first time we met?” She asked.
“Huh? Um…in the restroom?” He replied and she laughed.
“Oh! plea-se, don’t remind me of that horrible incidence” he rolled his eyes.
“Really? I caught you ma-king out with a lady!!”
“You didn’t catch me, okay?? You only heard”
“Heard? And your m0@n s were loud enough to create visions in my head”.
“plea-se Bethel, st©p ma-king me feel guilty. I’m a good boy now, okay?”
“Fine! Whatever” she rolled her eyes.
“Anyway, that wasn’t the first day I actually met you” she continued.
“The first day I met you was at your concert – when your cars had almost knocked me down. Do you remember?”
“Oh!!! Of course! You were that lady! Geez! I didn’t even notice. Awwn” he exclaimed and wra-pped his hands around her.
“If only I’d known that same lady would be sitting next to me, feeding my little angel right now, I’d have stepped down from the car to apologize to her” he said and I laughed ha-rd .
“And if only I’d known that same grumpy boy ma-king out in the restroom, was going to be the father of my kids, I’d have barged into the room and pu-ll-ed that lady’s hair”.
“Oh my God!! Are you kidding me?”
“Of course, I’m not! I’d have given her the beating of her life!”
“Mmm” he hummed and held her closer.
“I’m glad it had to be you, Bethel” he said tenderly.
“Same here…and it’s funny to know the company that actually brou-ght us together isn’t yours anymore”.
“Yeah – all thanks to you”
Well, Bethel had convinced him to let go of the company so it could be handled by his step siblings.
Besides, they didn’t nee-d it anymore to stay together…and Ryan’s wealth could almost be compared with that of the company.
“I love you, Bethel. Thanks for coming into my life” Ryan smiled and made her rest her head on his che-st.
“I love you too, hon. I never thought my love life could be this perfect. I couldn’t believe I was so angry when I was asked to get married to you” she chuckled.
For a while, they were silent, just gazing into the stars.
“I think she’s asleep” Ryan whispered and they looked down at the baby together.
Bethel smiled and tried retrieving the bre*st from her, but as soon as she made a move, the little angel j£rked open and made a tiny sound.
Oh-oh.
She bec@m£ fully awake and resumed su-cking in ecstasy.
Ryan and Bethel looked at each other and laughed into it.
Nothing could be so adorable.
