Yours Sincerely

CHAPTER 34: YES TO YOU...

SAPPHIRE’S POV:

I looked at my man who looked at me with love and admiration in his eyes. He looked at the velvet box in my hand and then back at me with his shining bright blue eyes.

“You didn't have to.” I shook my head instantly and opened the box. I knew he would propose me before today's function and got an idea of why not I can propose him too. It came to my mind last week when I saw a girl proposing to her boyfriend in Italy. I was there for a business meeting but it didn't take long for me to realize that I need to take advantage of the opportunity and get a promise wrong for Adam. Of course, Tony helped me to get the size of Adam’s finger so that I can not make a complete fool out of myself in front of him.

The ring I chose for him was nothing fancy. It was a simple platinum band with a 55.23 carat, shield-shaped Diamond in it. The platinum band had extremely  delicate designs of plant vines around the band. It was the simplest yet the most eye-catching one. 

“It is really beautiful, Angel.” he put out his left hand for me to put on the wrong over his finger but I shook my head.

“ I want these rings to be our promise rings. The engagement and wedding rings will be on our left hand. I want to wear these rings on our right hands.” I whispered and he nodded smiling as he offered me his right hand.

“It is always a yes to you, Adam.” I put the ring on his finger and smiled as it was of perfect size.

“It is always a yes for you too, Angel.” I didn't even notice when he managed to take the ring out of his box and my hand to put it on.

I saw the very beautiful ring and somehow, I have a feeling that I'v seen a similar one like this. I widened my eyes in surprise as I realized that it is indeed Aunt Amy's ring.

The ring had a cushion-shaped diamond in a platinum band with leafs vines around the whole band. Everyone knows, this ring is passed down through the generations to the new daughter-in-law by the mother-in law. Aunt Amy got it from her mother-in-law and now it is my turn.

I usually don't follow the family traditions in a blind way but Adam making an attempt to show that everyone has accepted me as a part of BLACK family makes me feel more and more content every single time.

The ring was of my fitting which made me smile. Another Black tradition. Only the rightful daughter-in-law fits into this beautiful piece of  art.

"It fits you perfectly, soon to be MRS BLACK..." Adam whispered in my ears making a pleasurable shiver run down my spine and kissed the crown of my head.

"I'm glad it does MR BLACK." I whispered back and turned around.
