Chapter 37
His Replaced Bride
Crystal's pov
After our little moment we both parted a little and looked at each other.
Dante had a teasing smile on his face which made me blush to which I looked away from him.
"Why are you looking away from me, hm?" Dante asked and suddenly pulled me closer to him to which I gasped in shock.
He smirked at my reaction and kissed my left cheek teasingly.
"You're beautiful" Dante said dreamily causing me to look away from him.
"Crystal" Dante chirped and pulled my face towards him.
"Crystal I wanted to confess something from a very long time but was waiting for the right time but since it will take two weeks for that right time to come, I think I can't wait anymore now. So-" He stopped and sighed heavily.
"Crystal. I love you. I really, really, really love you. I didn't know when did I fell in love with you but here I am, madly and deeply in love with you" He said to which my eyes widened in shock.
Everything around me stopped. Everything became blurry. The only thing which wasn't blur is Dante.
"And I want to give this marriage a chance. I want you in my future, always and forever" Dante completed and looked at me, waiting for my response but I was too shocked to response at this moment.
I instantly pulled myself from his arms and looked at him surprisingly. I tried to say something but i couldn't. Atlast I pinched my wrist to believe everything.
"Seriously?" Dante chuckled at me. "That's your response after my confession?" He asked, amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Y-you love me? Like really?" I asked not believing his words.
"Yep" He replied with a small smile.
"Why?" I asked shockingly.
I can't believe this. Dante, the dashing billionaire loves me. Me?
"Because you're amazing. You make me feel things. You make me feel lively. Before meeting you, I never felt anything for any girl which I feel for you. I'm not going to lie but I had few flings before you but with them I never felt anything but with you, I can't describe my feelings in correct words" Dante chirped and came near me.
"Before you, I never thought that I will fall in love with someone. But now I'm in love with you and I'm so fucking happy and proud of myself for loving you. You're the best thing happened to me. I want to live with you, make memories with you, fight with you, romance with you, visit different places with you, have kids with you, grow old with you. In short I want to be with you for the rest of my life" Dante said to which my eyes filled with tears.
"Crystal, you're beautiful, sweet, cheerful, intelligent, brave, smart, clumsy. Overall you're perfect and I love you" Dante said with a smile.
And this time I decided to not to hide my emotions. I tightly hugged him and sobbed in his arms. Dante kept on smoothing my hairs.
After breaking the hug I wiped my tears and smiled at him.
"Say something" Dante whined.
"You just gave me a shock, you know that, right? Atleast give me little time to process things" I scolded him to which he rolled his eyes.
I looked at him and shook my head in amusement.
"Dante, I'm not going to lie but I'm not in love with you, yet" I said and saw his eyes turned sad.
Oh no.
"But I have strong feelings for you, like really strong feelings" I said to which he smiled a little.
"Dante you make me feel special. Your mere presence makes my day" I said softly.
"You know, my parents were in toxic relationship. Because of my father, my mom suffered too much. Somehow her story caused a strong impact in my life and I never wanted to marry, neither I wanted to date. But when you came in my life, I realised that maybe I won't be unlucky like my mom. You gave me hopes that I can be happy in a relationship, Dante" I said and smiled softly at him.
"Yes, I am not in love with you as of now but I know that you're hard to resist. I know that soon I will fall in love with you, deeply and madly" I smiled when I saw his smile grew wider.
"And yes, like you even I want to live my whole life with so yes Dante, I'll give chance to this marriage, to us" I said to which Dante hugged me tightly.
"I love you. I love you so fucking much Crystal" Dante yelled happily and broke the hug.
Later he wiped my tears and kissed my forehead softly.
"I can't believe that it's happening" I giggled happily.
"Me too. But I'm happy that it's happening" Dante chuckled and side hugged me.
Finally.
I can't believe that few minutes back I was crying, thinking that I'll have to leave Dante and he will never return feelings to me but now we have decided to give us a chance and Dante fucking love me.
Though I feel bad that I am still not in love with him but I know that soon I will love him and the day I'll realise that I love him, I'll make it up everything for him. And that's my promise to you Dante.
Suddenly he squeezed my arms a little and turned towards me.
"I think it's time to leave" Dante said to which I rolled my eyes at him.
"You're such a spoilsport" I complained hitting his chest a little.
But still we both made our way inside his mansion.
"Dante, your family won't be mad at you for choosing me, right?" I asked feeling scared.
"You really think that?" Dante looked at me and shook his head in disbelief.
"Our family loves you, Crystal. Especially my Mom. You think they will be mad at me for choosing you as my life partner? Then let me tell you one thing, they will be the happiest tomorrow morning when I'll confess them about us" Dante said to which I smiled.
His 'Our family' touched my heart. This man is gem of a person.
"And guess what, my mom was shipping both of us from day one" Dante said with a chuckle to which I widened my eyes in shock.
"Really?" I asked surprisingly to which he nodded.
"You have impressed mom just by being you. My mom loves you" Dante smiled a little.
I giggled at this and remembered the time when Mrs knight showered me with her immense love. Seriously, she is a very kind woman.
I smiled at Dante's confession when something clicked in my mind.
"Hey wait, before you said that you were waiting for the right time which is after two weeks. Why is that?" I asked and frowned.
"You don't knows what's after two week?" He asked to which I shook my head.
"Your birthday" He said shaking his head to which I became shocked.
"You know my birth date?" I asked to which he nodded.
"And you were planning to confess your feelings to me on my birthday?" I asked to which he once again nodded.
I was shocked at this point. I didn't expected that. Oh my god.
I once again hugged him and "Dante, I don't know how to react at this information" said.
I broke our hug and kissed his both cheeks happily.
Seems like I have already started to fall in love with him.
"Now that I have already confessed my feelings, I have to think of something else" He chuckled and kissing my knuckles.
"And knowing you, I know that dinner at some expensive place is not your dream gift so I'll definitely do something which will touch your heart" He said with a charming smile.
"So now you're planning to make me emotional on my birthday?" I asked faking shock.
"Maybe" He said laughing to which I joined him.
"You don't have to do anything special. Just be with and I'd be happy" I said softly.
"I know but I want to make your birthday special. Already I spoiled everything by confessing my feelings today itself" Dante said shaking his head.
"You didn't spoiled anything. Whatever you did today was perfect. You proposing me in garden full of flowers, under moon and stars, is the best and I'll always cherish that moment" I smiled at him.
"Those natural decorations were perfect for me" I said and suddenly his eyes turned with amazement.
"You never fail to amuse me, Crystal" Dante said giving me a heart warming smile.
God please always protect our bond with evils around.
Soon we were now infront of my room when Dante suddenly leaned closer to me.
"Now that we have decided to give each other a chance, don't you think that you should join me in my room?" Dante chirped in teasing voice to which I glared him.
But instead of looking scared, he smirked at me gave me a flying kiss.
"What?" He asked innocently.
I rolled my eyes at him and slapped his chest again.
"Oh God, relax. I was just teasing you. I won't do anything against your wish except-" He stopped and again gave me a teasing look.
"Except?" I asked raising my eyebrows at him.
"Except-" Instead of completing his sentence, Dante leaned closer to me and kissed me, hard.
"-kissing you, anywhere, anytime" He finished his sentence after breaking the kiss and winked at me.
I blushed hard at him and ran inside my room and locked the door from inside.
Oh my God.
I breathed heavily and closed my eyes in happiness.
What are you doing to me Dante?
