After I explained the surprise I'm planning for Michael to Eva, she thought it would be the best thing anyone would've ever given to him and that she'll help me set it up.

I spent maybe an hour or more helping her choose the decorations and talked with her a bit more after that, then left for Michaels room. She got an urgent call to treat someone. If not for that I would've stayed longer. She's a really nice lady and fun to talk to. She's knows how to persuade one to let them trust her. Because I already feel like I do.

I came back here because I didn't want to look at that lying b*tch with her sidekick. I would've been tempted to beat them.

The door flew open and I leaped upwards in fright.

"Ah".

Why don't you completely heal already?

"K bear?" Michael. I sit straight.

He walked in and a big smile appeared on his face when he laid eyes on me. He started moving towards me.

I got curious when I saw him with a garment bag in his hand.

"What's that?"

"Something for you?" He sit beside me as soon as he reached the bed, then lay it on my lap. I look down at it.

"Open it. Its nothing to bite". He chuckle. I smile and pulled the zipper down.

I gaped in surprise.

"You bought me a dress?" I stand holding it up, and high too because its so long. He bought me a fancy dress.

"Well don't get too attached to it because I rented it, so I'm gonna have to bring it back". I look at him.

"Just kidding". He chuckled.

"You'd eventually have to buy it because I'm already attached". I put the blue dress on my chest and slowly spin around like teenage girl who her teenage crush had told her that he likes her. Michael is just chuckling admiring me.

The dress doesn't have straps. The parts where my breasts are suppose to go has a very beautiful pattern and cuffs. I can see that the upper part is just a bit tighter, but the rest of it is just long and beautiful.

"Don't fall". He said and stand.

"Of course. I already have. I've fallen in love with this dress already".

"You know what I meant". He said and I giggled and continued to slowly spin around as if dancing with the dress.

"Maybe you love it so much because I'm the one who bought it. You always wear these things at your parties". I stopped in front of him.

"How do you know that? Were you spying on me?" I said and touched his nose smiling.

He smirked.

"I've been spying on you for a long time mia cara". Oh yes about that.

I walk to the bed and laid the dress there and smile a bit. Its really beautiful.

I look back at him.

"Your father said he trusted you to protect me. I don't get it". His smile faded then he sighed.

"Please sit". I did just that right after him.

"I'd...been watching over you every single day for the past five years". What?

So he saw every guy I'd been with? The way I flirt and everything? No wonder he was so mad at me. And also knew who to made disappear.

"After dad saw me on the media with those....women, he questioned me about it...about you and I. I told him that we weren't together. I told him we were still friends. According to him, he saw that we liked each other. Anyways I told him that, because I didn't want him to come to you and tried to glued broken pieces of glass...at least that's what I thought at the time. I thought you hated me so much I couldn't do anything to change your mind". Um...wow.

"When you walked out on the proposal at the office, I told him that we had a little fight. You know...friends fight? I just made something up. When you came back inside and agreed, he got convinced. Because in his mind if it was a minor fight, then it can easily be resolved. I told him that we still communicated over the years, because he felt that we seemed distant and asked me about it. He was skeptical but left it alone. Mom was the only one who knew what was really going on. She always does, but pretended as if she has no clue". He chuckled and I smile. Which also means she could know a lot of things that Nicolas doesn't want her to know.

"That day when we were speaking in Italian after you woke up.....she told me to be certain that your the one I want....". He leaned closer.

"But I don't want you bambino.....I need you". I look into his wonderful bright brown eyes as he gazed into mine.

"I need you Il mio amore". I replied. He smiled and we leaned closer to each other.

"Do you know how crazy you made me feel when you said that I'm worth dying for?" He softly said gazing at me with passion blazing from his eyes.

"I meant every word". I softly and honestly told him.

"Hmm". That's all he said before I leaned closer and kissed him. He part his lips and put a hand on the back of my head.

"Michael we've got to go!"

"Hmmm". I moaned and wrap my hands around his neck.

I got disappointed when he gently pulled away, having my lips quivering for more.

"I'm sorry Principessa. I need to go before we turned the heat up too much". He half smiled. I removed my hands from his firm neck.

"Where are you going?" I asked in a baby tone.

"Preparing for the party".

"Can't I come? I always feel lonely when your not around".

"Hmm. I know you do. But I don't think you should be moving around too much anymore. Your wound is not completely healed. So please lay down and whatever you want I'll have it delivered to you ok". I sigh.

"Yeah ok. I feel tired anyways". He smiled satisfyingly and pushed his hands in his pocket.

"Here's your phone". He handed it to me and I smiled.

"Took you long enough. I took one from the room but I'm not sure where I left it".

"Oh really. Did you call Lenoy?" How did he know that? Seems like I can't hide anything from this godforsaken Greek god.

"Um...I called to ask about my company. How did you know that I called him?" I frowned in curiosity.

"I didn't. My boy Leon taught me a lot about psychology". He chuckle.

"Hm so a gave myself away then?" He nod.

"Si. Pretty much". He said while he arc his eyebrow then set it back to normal.

"I knew you'd want to enquire about the management of your company".

I giggle.

"Ok whatever get out. I need some rest". He stand, then I lay and put my phone beside me, close to my dress.

"So much for someone who feels lonely when I'm not around". He smirked.

"Get out". I said smiling shyly. He chuckle and kneel at my bed.

"One more thing before I get out...". I rolled my eyes. He pulled something from his pocket and my eyes widen after a saw a small black suede box in his hand, holding it close to my face. It isn't as small as a ring box, its bigger but not too big. Is this what I think it is?

"Mr Isaac Perry get down here".

"This...is a token of my love... but don't open it until the party, capisci?" He seriously said.

"Si I do". He smile, put it in my hand that's on my belly then stand.

"Please do one more thing before your father chop your head off". He stopped and raised an eyebrow.

"Tell one of your trusted maids to bring me plenty food. I'm starving". I smiled sweetly without showing my teeth and batting my eyelashes. He chuckled.

"Coming right up, your highness". He smiled then bowed with one hand on his belly and pushed the other one sideways before he left. He's really sweet.

I sigh trying to relax my mind. I turned my head and look at the dress smiling.

He bought me a dress. Most men would just give their women the money for her to buy it herself. And that box, I wonder what's in it? But I won't break his trust. I'll just wait.

I've been here a couple days now and....

Wait I haven't seen mom, Monique or Leon. No one.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Monique's number.

What? I looked at the phone with a frown, after it cut off.

"She hang up on me?"

My ringtone rang my eardrums. Oh look she's calling back.

"So much of a friend you are". I answered. I'm upset.

"I can't believe I almost died and you didn't call me".

"I have now". But I did first- Did she just giggle?

"What! I'm not joking Monique. The both of you didn't show any care at all, not even my own mother!" What have I done to these people!

"Calm down Akei-".

"Oh hell I'm gonna calm down!" I hung up and throw the phone aside.

I can't believe them!

My message tone started coming in rapidly.

I hesitated but grabbed it and take a look.

"Twenty three missed calls from mom and thirteen from Monique".

My phone started to ring again. I can't believe I didn't remember that my phone was locked away in Michaels car. I feel so ashamed. I don't even wanna answer.  And she said I have now as if she didn't tried to call. That little....I slid the arrow to the right.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry Mon. I'm just so jumpy and...forgetful. I didn't remember that my phone was locked away in Michaels car". Good thing I bought one that wasn't so easy to run low on battery or it would've been dead by now.

"I'm not upset with you silly. Have you forgotten that I've been your friend for a very long time. I'm actually feeling...happy for you".

"I still feel guilty that I spoke to you like that for no reason. Um...what about me are you happy for?" She chuckle.

"The moment you answered my call the first time, you should've told me".

"Tell you what?"

"So...you already forgot that you gave it to Michael?" My eyes widen and my whole body heated. I swallowed.

"Girl how did you know that?" Unbelievable.

"Well...Leon was at a meeting that he was. Leon said he'd never seen him so happy in such a very long time. So it was just a guess. I can't believe you guys actually did it. O.M.G. Its about freaking time you little ass!" She said in excitement. I couldn't help but to smile and giggle at her excitement.

"He finally accepted his feelings for me and I um...I also...accepted to be his".

"Yes! Yes! Yes...!". I literally had to remove the phone from my ears to not go deaf.

"My hard work didn't go to waste".

"What hard work? All you did was woke me from my beauty sleep and tricked me".

"I used credit. Plus all those years of lecturing you to settle down. I'm happy you did it with the right guy". My excitement decline a bit.

"I'm just taking my chances. All those women I saw him with are still giving me doubts. He said that I'm the only one he need but I don't know". I put my hand on my forehead feeling a bit frustrated.

"Akeilia, Michael wasn't like that until you stopped talking to him-".

"Before I stopped talking to him I caught him in his office with another woman". I cut her off, starting to feel a bit angry.

"Please just focus on the future. Bad situations from the past can become a huge problem to your future". I remembered something.

"Do you remember what I told you that I caught him doing...or...her doing?"

"Crystal".

"He...he said he imagined that I was doing it". Monique gaped.

"He seriously told you that?"

"He also told me that he didn't go any further. I don't know if I should believe, but I'll have to take his word for it. Uhg! I really love him Monique. And I can't lose him. I already feel like I'm gonna go crazy".

"Leon and I went through worst and we still love each other and holding on to our marriage. You'll get through it. Just try not to make the mistakes we did because not every relationship can mend after that".

"Yeah I'll try".

"Akeilia do it. Don't try. Do it". I giggle.

"I know silly. I know how to control myself".

"Good, you guys took too long before you could have one good sex to just break part like that...". I giggle then she did.

"...By the way, the reason no one came to visit you, was because your man commanded everyone not to".

"What? Why?" I know how he is when commanding someone.

"Isn't it obvious? He wanted no distractions because he wanted time alone to admit his feelings". Hm, no wonder he took this long to give my phone back.

I giggle.

"Your coming to the party right?"

"Oh god don't even ask. I can't tell the last time I spent some good quality time with you". I smile.

"Yeah for real. I miss you".

"Awww me too. I need a break from my clingy husband. He's going crazy about the baby".

"Ok not interested". She chuckled.

"I've planned a surprise for him".

"What? wow. What is it?"

"No you'll see". She huffed.

"But I wanna know. What if your surprise gave me an instant heart attach because its too great of a surprise. I'm pregnant remember. You'll be taking two lives".

"Na uh. That's not gonna work on me. Do you think I'm Leon?" I smile. She huffed again.

"Fine".

"He bought me a dress".

"Your kidding right?"

"No and he also gave me something inside of a box. It resembles a ring box, but bigger".

"Ohwwww".

"What? Do you know what's in it?"

"Hmm I think I have an idea. Leon also bought me a dress and gave me one of those, but I already opened mine". I gasped. Ok so he wasn't proposing.

"Its obvious that both of them planned it".

"Forget about that. Tell me what it is". I would still keep my promise because I hadn't opened it.

"Haha nope".

"What? why not?"

"Tell me your surprise first. Exchange ain't no robberyyy".

"You know what? I think I'll wait. I don't think I'm so desperate". She giggle.

"Fine then".

I giggle.

"Hey Monique. This girl Sara had been trying to ruin our relationship even before it started". I informed.

"What? Who's Sara?"

"Some friends of Eva and Nicolas daughter. She lied that Michael's nephew was their son. She also told Michael that I couldn't conceive and told the both of us not to say anything to each other. So you know how that would've ended up".

"Wait wait wait...Michael has a nephew?"

"You didn't know?"

"Of course not silly or I would've told you. But I bet I know who does. I'll deal with him later".

"Let it be Monique. They are men, not everything they are gonna tell us. And I won't have a problem with that once its nothing to ruin us".

"Fine. But that b*tch must die. What the hell! Is she still there?"

"Yes Michael said we'll rub us in her face so I must not say anything to her. I was wondering if she was one of his sl*ts but I guess not because I asked him and he said no. Let me tell you how it all started....".

"I can't wait for the party". Monique said evilly after I explained every details to her. Even what Debra said to me at the dining table.

"You cant get into a fight. Remember that your pregnant". I giggle.

"Oh honey, I'm not gonna wrestle with no b*tch. I'll just use my husband shot gun". I can tell she has a smirk on her face and I couldn't help but to laugh out loud.

"Your so evil. I love that". I complemented. We both started laughing.

"Sooo...". Monique said after we finished laughing.

"...Tell me all about the sex".

What do you think is in that box?
