Engagement Bliss
My engagement ring is simply amazing!
In the end, Aziel chose one himself when I was in doubt about so many in the display. Unaware of my previous experience, he took me to the same jeweler where Danner had bought my ring and Dordrich the Ruby. When the assistant saw the ring I bought for Aziel a few days ago on his finger, she raised her eyebrows questioningly but was smart enough to keep her mouth shut.
And when Aziel asked her to measure my ring size, she pursed her lips tightly. This bitch could hardly contain her laughter, the third man to buy me a ring of significance. Of course, my ring size is still the same. To make it clear to her that Aziel is my own conscious choice, I cuddle myself against his chest as he makes arrangements to collect the ring later. He kisses my forehead, takes my hand and we leave the shop, not before I give the assistant a triumphant look. “And don't lose this one!” I mimic with my lips, behind Aziel's back. The ambiguous look on her face disappears and she now looks beet red.
For today I have a meeting in my own company, Windrug&So.
Aziel doesn't want to show up there until we're married. He says he won't go back in there until he has a new higher status, which is my husband's. I had to laugh so hard about this comment, really, what a sentiment.
Talking about our marriage.
We have agreed to make final decisions about this when I am finished with my mission here. Then we make it public that we are engaged and also announce our wedding plans.
We registered our engagement this morning before going to the jeweler at the Civil Registry Office. Aziel was quite nervous, he could hardly believe that this is reality. Firmly with my hand in his, we entered the office with our announcement. Aziel proudly showed his ring. Photos were then taken of us and added to the file. With this registration we are close to married, we have almost the same rights as a married couple.
This is all a dream for me too.
Getting married was never a plan for the near future and Aziel was definitely not in the picture in this context. But I feel so happy with him, I'm sure I made the right choice now. Three times is a charm, isn't it?! After my failed relationships with Danner and Dordrich, I now feel like I've landed in calmer waters after a storm. And judging by Aziel's attitude, he is also deeply happy with me.
Alyssa has all the primes so far about my return. She has kept the agreement to only publish the business part, she also gets a scoop on my private members in a live interview on screen. I can see from everything that she is impatient, she wants to know more about my relationship with Dordrich, my activities over the past five years and how I see the future. Nobody realizes that Aziel and I are engaged and we want to keep it that way for the time being.
Other journalists also approach me through the company's PR department. But they are kindly told that as soon as I have things in order, there will be a press briefing where they can be familiar with me and ask all the questions they have. And with that, the rush in media land has calmed down.
Aziel now parks his car flawlessly in the special sorting compartment for the staff of my company. “Text me when you're ready and I'll come to get you. Think of me, my love. Know that I love you and wait for you," he whispers against my lips before we lose each other in a sweet kiss. I back away from him, only to notice a conspicuous red spot on his neck.
"Oooohhhh, Aziel!". My finger goes to the hickey I put on him in raw passion last night. He's been trying to keep it within his clothes, but every movement of his head makes this mark of mine pop out.
He grabs my finger and kisses it. “Yes, today my workers will really go crazy. I'll be bullied today until I confess where it came from and who is responsible for it," he sighs. “But I don't mind. I'm yours, you just branded me." Another big hug and a kiss and I get out of the car to enter the building without looking back.
When I'm in the elevator, I review last night. Aziel!
How did I not see before how perfectly we fit together? Did it really have to be five years before I realized that all those feelings inside me were just pure love and everything that comes with it. But I don't intend to make the same mistake now, this time I'm holding on tight.
What will his reaction be if I tell him about Lorrich and my plan to secure his rightful share in Fellogan's heritage? That the stock and everything Dordrich has ever given me now belongs to my son? I'm far from done in New York. There is still so much to do before my son makes his grand entrance here with Andre and shakes things up.
I sigh deeply. Lorrich will definitely feel at home here. He likes crowds and attention. I will have to prepare him for the media boom he will have as the biological son of Loraine Windrug and Dordrich Fellogan. And his stepfather is also not unknown.
But Lorrich has so many fathers now. A biological and stepfather, and two godfathers. I myself have to laugh at how privileged my son is. I had thought not to let him know about Dordrich until later in life. But now that circumstances changed, I have to change my plan. Fellogan Holding ran into trouble beyond expectations, so I had to step in to save the stock and Lorrich's legacy. In addition, I met Aziel again and I do not intend to let him go. With these new developments, I am forced to inform my son about his origin earlier. With the help of Aziel and Andre, I'm sure he will understand the situation and none of this will have a negative impact on his character.
How I’m looking forward to the end of it all, when I can retire with Aziel and my son and form our own family...
