Just say it

Her heart was pounding in her chest. He wants her to marry him, he was begging her to be his wife? Chase Hudson?

He said he loves her and would never make her cry anymore. He promised not to cheat on her or make her regret marrying him?

Is that how much he loves her now? She had only thought of giving him a second chance and watching how his feelings grow and mature towards her. She wants them to nurture their feelings first.

She hadn’t for once expected a marriage proposal so soon. Was he obliged to it simply because of what her family did to her?

What is he thinking, to impress or show off that he will marry her to make them ashamed? Is Chase sure of what he is doing?

“Just say yes, my love. And we would become a couple by dawn. Just say it and make me the happiest man on earth. Just say it!” Chase kept coaxing her.

“No Chase. Don’t make hasty decisions because of the way my family treated me. They’re my family and they will eventually come around and accept what I want.

But marriage, you should think it through before making such a decision to spend the rest of your life with me. Please do think about it twice” Rosalinda nudged.

“Do you love me at all?” Chase asked. How can she call it a hasty decision? She doesn’t believe him when he said he loves her for several months now?

“Yes. I love you and you know it?” Rosalinda responded. She pulled him up on his feet and cupped his cute face in her palm as she raised her chin to glare up at him.

“I know that you love me. But do you also know that I love you and that my heart beats for you. I am saying this to you, because you are the first woman I have ever loved.

I don’t know what love is or what falling in love means except towards you. I am confessing my feelings to a woman for the first time and the woman is you.

Why don’t you want to marry me and let’s live the rest of our lives together basking in the euphoria of our feelings for each other?

You think I am making a hasty decision? Why would I do that? You knew me in the past, right. Do I look like someone who is interested in being committed to a woman in the past?

I want to make you mine forever and build a family with you and my daughter Bella. We’ll have more babies and we will be happy. But if you think you are not emotionally ready for it, then I will have no option but to wait until you are ready” Chase responded helplessly.

Rosalinda sighed and asked “What about your parents and your elder brother? What about your daughter? Shouldn’t we seek their consent first and make our intentions known?” She suggested.

“Everyone you mentioned has been expecting me to bring home a bride. The challenge here is not them but my bride to be.

She’s not ready to walk the aisle with me just yet. But I wish you will be mine, not just in your heart, but in your soul and body. Because I am entirely yours, just waiting for a ‘yes’ from you…” Chase was saying when Rosalinda tiptoed and kissed him briefly.

“Let the preparation begin” Rosalinda declared and Chase beamed with a megawatt smile. He scooped her off her feet suddenly and swirled her around.

“I love you baby” Chase Hudson chimed that Rosalinda was now giggling. She was amused and was caught off guard when he scooped her.

Chase placed her on the bed and kissed her sweetly. He kept kissing her and only pausing at intervals to take a breath. His body was tense, it’s been a long time since he made love.

But he applied his entire restraint and suddenly pulled away. “I will wait until we become a couple. I will never take advantage of you anymore forever.

Meanwhile, you need to rest now, it’s past midnight and today is our wedding” Chase declared and kissed her temple before excusing himself from the room.

He won’t be seeing her again until the next morning at the marriage registry. And after that, she will become his wife.

When Chase stepped out, Rosalinda sighed softly. So this is how everything is going to end. She will become the newest Mrs Hudson.

Next morning, Arianna woke up with a text from Chase. She’s invited to witness his union with Miss Rosalinda Black at the Marriage registry by 10:am.

Happily, she got out of bed and read the message again. She called Jace to inform him but before she could say a word, he told her to get ready, he would be picking her up to attend Chase’s wedding.

Everything went so quickly, Arianna thought. It’s amazing that Chase eventually got his woman back. She called him and the latter was talking excitedly.

Arianna congratulated him and when she came downstairs, Eli had gone off with Chase to the hotel. He will be the little groom and of course, Bella would be the little bride.

Rosalinda woke up the next morning to find herself surrounded by servants who were already set to dress her up. It doesn’t seem to her like she had a cold the previous evening.

She was getting dressed when she got a phone and sent a text to her Mom that she was getting married and it would be great if she can walk her down the aisle to her husband to be.

She waited for an hour and got no response. It only implies that her family has decided to shut her out of their lives. While she was still thinking of who would walk her down the aisle, Alexander Hamilton arrived.

Her wedding dress was brought out of its box, it was the prettiest wedding dress that Rosalinda had ever seen. It’s so beautiful and attractive.

Pieces of diamonds were attached that made it glitters. It’s the newest designer wedding dress in town and it costs millions of dollars.

This should have just been a simple wedding. She didn’t know nor expect that Chase would make it something so elaborate and expensive.

But then, she’s happy. It’s her wedding after all. She is the most important person that day and it’s her happiest day.

A makeup artist had just finished with her makeup and her veil was pulled over her face. Alexander Hamilton walked in and said “It’s fifteen minutes left, we need to leave now” he chimed.

He stared at Rosalinda with a broad smile. He had never seen her so beautiful. She’s a beautiful woman but that morning, she looked like an angel that just descended from the sky.

Who knows that she would eventually become Chase’s wife that day? That dude pulled a fast one on him and they immediately put their differences aside and he assigned her to walk his fiance down the aisle.

Rosalinda smiled. The last person she expected to see standing before her on a day like this was Alexander Hamilton. Chase has proven himself a smart and intelligent guy again.

She stood up and a bouquet of flowers was handed over to her. She descended the stairs right after Alexander Hamilton and he walked her over to the car.

Bella was dressed in an exact type of dress with Rosalinda. The little girl held a bouquet of flowers as well. She appeared as a little version of Rosalinda.

Mrs Pricillia Black just returned from making a police report on the disappearance of her daughter when she went to get her phone. She was so scared of what might have happened to Rosalinda that she didn’t remember to take her phone along with her to the police station.

She saw a notification of a text message blinking on her phone but from an unknown contact…
