LEILANI'S POV:
Serafina and I rummages through my closet searching for a perfect dress to wear.
I can't make mistakes.
Mrs Black is too classy for me to fuck this up. She is a high standard and classy woman, a very well respected individual in the society, meeting her is a blessing.
Serafina grabbed a red dress from my closet and placed it against my body.
"I think this color will suit you very well." She said.
Truly, the red dress was bought for me by Serafina on my birthday.
The dress was a knee-length gown, a deep v neck that shows just a hint of cleavage.
It was classy and sexy.
A perfect mix.
I loved it.
"I love it, it will go well with my black heels." I told her and she nodded. When that was done, I relaxed a little bit.
I know that she wants to see me because of the wedding, even though I anticipated her call
Dylan's POV:After Leilani left my office yesterday Asher looked at me quietly.I remember our conversation went like this;"You are really engaged to her? I didn't know you were dating." He said. I can feel it. He doesn't believe it.No one knows me so well like Asher. We have been friends since middle school. He knows everything about me, including what I don't want others to know."Yes, engaged." I mumbled."It is good. I am happy for you. Secretary Carter is good for you. She is smart and beautiful, very fitting. At least you can finally move on from....."" Stop." I said before he could finish saying what he wanted to say.I don't appreciate that and he knows it."Grandfather is threatening me if I don't get married. This is just business, King. A contract marriage." I told him. I didn't want to but I have to if I don't want him to t
LEILANI'S POV:"You didn't say anything wrong, Leilani." She said and wiped her tears with an handkerchief. " This is one of the rare times that I don't see people judging Dylan without truly knowing him. You are a gem and you are worth keeping. "I smiled at her and took her hand in mine." You don't have to worry. He is fine with me. "I assured her.I know it must hurt to know what the public see your only son as and also knowing that he doesn't give a fuck about it.Poor woman must be sad about how her only child is being portrayed by the public. That must be really sad.We talked for a while before she excused herself to go up to her room.Not long later she came back with a beautiful box in her hand. She dropped
DYLAN'S POV:Did I just told her to move in with me?Man, what the hell!Leilani is as delicate and innocent as a flower. She read meaning into everything that I do and say which I dislike so much.She might misunderstand the fact that I told her to move into my house so I quickly add another sentence."It wouldn't be nice to have your things here while you will be living in my house from this week." I added calmly. She nodded her head after sipping on her drink."I might put the house on sale," she said calmly, I glanced at my wrist watch before standing up."I j
LEILANI'S POV: I couldn't stop gaping at the stuff around us. Dylan literally rent out the whole restaurant for us. Flowers and red candle light were everywhere. I didn't even realize everything until the light was dimmed. Dylan went the fuck out for me. He.... I feel so emotional. "This.... This is so beautiful." I mumbled while staring around me in awe. I didn't peg Dylan as the romantic type, in fact I know that he have no love to give in his heart but I just kept wishing.
24LEILANI'S POV:As I dance with Dylan, the only thing on my mind was how his hand feels on my naked waist.I was wearing a long pink dress with a deep opening that stopped on my waist, my whole back was naked.Of course Serafina got it made for me.And is he beautiful? He looked so good in his black tux and his hair that was styled back perfectly.My husband.The thought alone caused me to shiver.I couldn't believe it. Dylan Black became my husband, me, a nobody.Yeah I wouldn't call myself a nobody, I was known as Dylan's secretary."Come back to me." I heard Dylan whisper and I looked up at him. "What?""Whenever we are together your eyes should always be on mine, baby." He said to me and I could feel my cheeks reddened. Why was he being so sweet all of a sudden?"Okay," i whispered.After dancing for a while with each other, his friend, Asher King came around and asked to dance with me.Dylan left me with Asher and went to dance with his mother who was already walking up to him
25LEILANI'S POV:Dylan led me inside the house and it feels like I just came here for the first time.The house wasn't decorated for people to fish after but to intimidate people.Everything was as hard as Dylan, starting from the painting to the couch. It was black and brown. Typically Dylan Black.When we got upstairs Dylan unlocked the master's bedroom and we walked inside.I have never came to his room before.It was his private sanctuary.But he can be felt more in this room than in every part of the house.Should I start from the huge King sized bed in the middle of the room? Or the painting hanging on the wall? The aura? The power oozing out of the room?It was phenomenal."Go and take your bath first," he said to me and I nodded my head. I could see my bags at the corner of the room so I walked towards it and opened the small bag that contained my nightwear.I grabbed the pink nightdress that Serafina bought for me and placed it on top of my bag before turning around and wal
26"Where is everyone?" Colt questioned immediately he walked inside the kitchen. " Why are you not with Mum and Dad? why are you here?" I asked him and he rolled his eyes."Brother in law let me stay in his house, you have no say in it." He responded and made to grab a cup of coffee from the one that I made, I slapped his hand off it and grabbed the two coffee mugs then started walking away."It belongs to my husband and I, you can leave after drinking that." I said to him before walking away.He must be really pissed.My husband. The word still sounds foreign to my ear. I walk inside the room but Dylan was not there, I heard the water splashing inside the bathroom and hummed. He was bathing.I walked towards the coffee table and dropped his coffee on it then sat down on the bed, sipping on my coffee.I don't know why I felt so sad that nothing happened yesterday when he literally told me that he wasn't going to touch me when he proposed the contracts to me, but I was hoping..... I
27Dylan's POV:I sat down inside my office after a long day at the meeting and grabbed the telephone from the table."Karrisa, come inside my office." Karrisa was my new secretary and even though she tried her best to make everything I needed available for me, I couldn't help but wish that it was Leilani.But having Karissa was definitely better than everyone else that came for the interview.She could learn a thing or two from Leilani when they meet.A soft knock came on the door and the door was pushed opened then Karissa walked in. According to her file, she was a young graduate from NYU, graduating with 4.5 GPA. She was intelligent and I prefer my employees intelligent and not stupid."You called me sir." She said and I nodded my head.I pushed a file towards her and glanced at my wrist watch. "Take the file to the accounting department, give it to the director there." "Okay, Sir." She grabbed the file and walked away.I checked the email that Karissa sent me in the morning,
