Meghan smiled with shyness in her eyes as she was still in shock of how Benjamin kissed her on the lips.
"Benjamin, do you love me?” she said after the kiss.
“Yes, and since I set my eyes on you, but I didn't want to mention it before we had become close” Benjamin replied.
Meghan was now intrigued by all of this and didn't know what to do, many thoughts were going through her mind so she asked him again, “That ring that you sent me along with other packages, what is it for?”
“That is a precious family ring that was passed on to my mom from her mom, her mom from my grandmother and so on. I sent it to you because I believe you are the perfect woman for me, but I did not want to force you to wear it until you had accepted to be mine forever.
“So, you want me to marry you?” inquired with joy in her lower voice.
“Yes, if you accept,” he replied.
Then Meghan approached him while saying: “I accept Benjamin”
Benjamin then took her in his arms and they both kissed passionately.
When a waiter brought them food and other drinks and interrupted their romance, they noticed it was already 4pm and they had been caught in the moment but they kept enjoying themselves as they danced to the slow music, waves and air breeze massaging their faces and they were kissing each other again and again.
Suddenly Benjamin pulled Meghan to the side to get away from the music and told her: “You know I am a very wealthy man, from a rich family, right? And because of that I need to get married as soon as I can, to get away from my family.
If you are willing to help me, can we get married next month and live far away from here, please?”
Meghan was again in shock from what Benjamin just told her, but she had grown in love with him due to all the attention he had shown her when she needed it the most and that was influencing her decisions.
“It is alright Ben, but first give me time to tell the rest of my family, then we can plan to get married” Meghan responded.
Their getaway revealed itself to be intense and beautiful, they got to navigate the sea, eat and drink some of the exclusive and expensive foods on the continent and many other things happened during that day which were pleasing to Meghan.
The sun went down and they had to head back home and on the way they were having a romantic conversation when Meghan said: "I hadn't had this fun in a moment", and then she leaned forward and kissed Benjamin on the lips.
Few minutes later, they got to Meghan's address and got out of the car. They said goodbye without wanting to and Benjamin watched Meghan close her door no matter how much he wanted to follow her.
The next morning Meghan woke up feeling a heavy headache. She had consumed too much champagne and slept late after calling her best friend Isabella to tell her she was now engaged.
She had no other plans for the day so she decided to stay indoors but at 4pm, the bell rang and she went to open the door and found a bouquet of flowers with a sticky note on top, showing "You deserve to have fun all the time and I really love you Meghan" , signed by Benjamin Harper but she couldn't see the person who deposited them so she grabbed them and took them inside, and put them in a vase.
By 7 pm Benjamin knocked on her door, she opened the door and when she saw that it was him, she smiled. She invited him inside, and by a sign of hands showed him where to sit. Then, she offered him cookies.
“What brings you here this late? Is everything okay?” Meghan asked
Benjamin laughed and replied: “Am I not allowed to come see my wife already?” Meghan felt shy thus she also started laughing.
“Please, bring the ring I offered you, I wish to put it on your finger now”, Benjamin asked politely. So, Meghan went to her room and brought the ring. Benjamin kneeled down and proposed to her again, then he leaned forward and they kissed passionately. They spent hours talking about their marriage, their future but when it started getting late in the night Benjamin decided to leave and she accompanied him to his car.
In the morning Meghan came up with a plan of how she is going to inform her family about the marriage so she started calling some of her aunts. One of them called Sarah was the only one who wasn't attracted to Benjamin’s money but was worried about the well being of her niece.
“Does he really love you Meghan? Or is it just for the wealth that you are getting married to him?” her aunt asked her.
“I know that he loves me aunty, he has been very generous and kind with me” Meghan responded.
“Just be certain Meghan, because these billionaires are having a lot of family troubles and when you get married to them it becomes uncontrollable” the aunt said.
“Yes aunty, and thanks for the advice” Meghan said.
After informing her family, she texted Benjamin to tell him that it was done and that they can start preparing for the wedding.
Benjamin, who was very happy about this information, replied to her saying that he is going to tell their family wedding planner to start the preparations.
Since then, everyday became a busy day as there were a lot of things to be done and the time they had set for their wedding was due soon but, even though the wedding preparations were exhaustive, Meghan and Benjamin managed to allocate time to spend together and they grew more in love with each other.
The night before the wedding, the bride and bridegroom are not supposed to see each other so they talked over the phone before each went to sleep. But before Meghan goes to sleep her house’s bell rang and she imagines that it is Benjamin so she happily goes to open but she sees a woman instead.
The woman did not greet Meghan, instead she said: “Pay attention little one, you do not know what you are involving yourself into” and the woman ran away.
Meghan was scared so she called Benjamin to tell him what happened but when he picked the call he didn't speak instead Meghan could hear voices of Benjamin and another person having a conversation, saying “How will you manage her? Do you think you are ready to marry her?” and other hurtful things until she decided to hang up the call.
