CHAPTER 70

THREE DAYS LATER
~NIGHT~
Mark’s POV
For the past three days, I have been planning to profuse my love towards Madison but I don’t know if she really likes me or not.
Even if she turns me down, I’ll accept I made an attempt on her.
Alex and Rosy have been really helpful, giving me advice and how to confess to her. They were more than happy when I told them my plan of asking Madison out.
“Alex, how do I look?” I asked Alex who was busy with his laptop.
“Wow man! You look cool like a groom who is about to be wedded.” He uttered, jokingly.
“You dickhead, you dared joke with me?” I snarled.
“Cool man. I was only teasing you a bit just like you always do to me. Anyway, I have booked the restaurant only for you both.”
“You’re only a dickhead. Thank you by the way. Having you as a best friend is one of my greatest assets.”
“You can always count on me for anything. Go get her buddy, you can do it.”
“Thanks bro.”
“Hold on brother, let me fix your tie properly.” Rosy stopped me halfway to the living room.
“The tie is well fixed, little sis. I know it's just an excuse to say something to me. So, tell me what do you want to say?”
“I just want to wish you luck. I know she’s going to accept you but I still wish you the very best.”
“Thank you Rosy. Let me get going before it gets late.”
“Sure brother.” She hummed and gave me a peck on the cheek before I made my way out of the living room.
I matched outside and met the bodyguards waiting for me as the head among them reported to me.
“The chauffeur has gone to pick ma’am just as you instructed.”
“Good!” I hummed and hopped inside the car as we all drove out to Winter Garden Restaurant where I booked the restaurant for the day just for Madison and I.
Casabella’s POV
Mum pecked me once more on the forehead before I got into the car Mark sent to pick me up.
He said he has something he wants to tell me which I am really curious about.
In the last three days I have been trying really hard to keep myself from
I was far more than lost in my thought as I kept hearing a voice calling out, ‘ma’am’ before I realised it was the chauffeur calling to me.
“We’re here ma’am.” He announced and got out of the car and opened the door for me.
I stepped out and saw about five to six bodyguards standing outside the restaurant as everywhere was looking empty.
“This way ma’am, sir is already waiting for you.” He said, leading me towards the entrance.
The bodyguards bowed to me and opened up the door for me. I walked in and found the place so empty but saw signs of direction and rose petals on the floor.
I looked around to be sure I wasn’t in the wrong place when I saw Mark approaching me with a bouquet of rose flowers in his hand with a wild smile plastered on his face.
Am I dreaming or is this what I am really thinking? Mark really did all these for me but for what reason?
“You look glamorous and beautiful.” He uttered in a cool tone and handed the flowers to me.
“Thank you.” I smiled, lightly taking the flowers from him.
“You’re welcome. I’ve been waiting for you. Come, let's go to our table.” He took my left hand as we trooped to a centre table filled with different kinds of dishes.
He pulled out a chair for me as I took my seat before taking his seat opposite me.
“Shall we eat?” He avowed and dishes out the meal on a tray and places it on my side.
"Eat up." He added and I nodded and began to eat slowly.
Mark’s POV
I kept stealing glances at her as she ate slowly. I think it's the perfect time to say the words to her.
"I've something I want to tell you Madison and it's more like a confession."
"I'm listening." She answered, looking down to her food.
"In the few weeks we have spent together you have taught me a lot of things and part of it is your kind, and warm heart which you have used to trap me. I have fallen madly in love with you and I would like to spend the rest of my life with such a caring, kindhearted and calm angel like you. Madison, will you do me the honour of becoming my girlfriend." I revealed everything by holding on to her left hand.
She stared at me with tears in her eyes and quietly got up and stood in front before sitting on my lap which got me really shocked.
"I also feel that way towards you. I wanted to confess it to you earlier but I felt you didn't like me." She burst out in tears again.
"I would never do that to you. It's okay, stop crying." I consoled her, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"I love you Madison. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, I do and I love you too." She nods her head as I crush our lips together in a fierce kiss.
We pulled away to catch our breath for a while, staring into each other's eyes before engaging into another heartwarming kiss.
I'm finally happy she feels the same way I feel for her. She's really my woman and I will make sure she doesn't leave my side even for a minute.
Casabella's POV
I'm really glad my dream came true. Who could have ever imagined Mark has an eye on me in the last three weeks.
I'm so happy we're officially lovers and I'm sure he will make a great boyfriend just like we acted like a couple for the contract. I wish our love remains eternal and leads to marriage because he simply exhibits what I need in a man.
But I feel bad I can't open up and tell him, I'm not Madison but a different person. I know he will hate me for keeping such a thing away from him but I hope he sees a reason I had to keep it away from him for now.
"I don't want you to leave my sight for even a second. I wish you could spend the night at my place?" He uttered as I pulled away from his lap.
"Well, I'll have to inform my parents."
"I'm sure they won't mind since we are a thing now."
"Yes but I still need to tell them so they won't be so worried about me like last time." I convinced him.
"Okay." He answered and pulled me close to his body as I dialled dad's number on my phone, putting it on speaker.
He didn't pick up the call at first which made me try again and on the second ring, he picked up.
"Princess, is your dinner date over with Mark?"
"Yes dad but I want to announce something to you. Is mum there with you?'
"Yes, tell us. We're listening."
"Mark and I are a thing now." I announced feeling shy to look at Mark in the face.
"Wow! Congratulations princess."
"Thanks dad."
"I'm so happy for you baby. I'd told you Mark loves you as well. I'm really glad, you both are officially together." Mum
"Thanks mum. One more thing, I want to spend the night at his place." I said in a whisper.
"Oh my goodness!" She giggles while dad only cleared his throat before saying a word.
"Okay princess but I hope he doesn't try anything funny with you just because you both are a thing now."
"Dad!"
"I'm just kidding, I know Mark isn't that type of man. You both can have a lovely time together."
"You guys are the best. I love you both." I smiled resting my head on Mark's shoulder.
"We love you too honey." Mum responded and disconnected the call.
"I don't know you're really this shy around me."
"Stop teasing me already." I uttered shyly, hiding my face on his chest.
"I'm sorry about that." He chuckled and pulled my face closer to his before slamming our lips together.
***
We arrived at his mansion as he insisted on carrying me in a bridal style inside.
"We're spending the night together in my room." He whispered to me as we walked inside the living room.
"And what will happen?" I asked, innocently knowing he was only teasing me.
"You will know soon enough." He smiled as we made for the same bedroom I stayed in the last time I spent the night.
We finally walked into his room as he placed me on the bed and got on the top.
"Don't worry sweetheart, it isn't what you're thinking I want to do. I want to give you pleasure and nothing more." He smirked and crushed his lips on mine.
