Chapter: Hundred and Twenty OneIsabelWe decided to get married at night in the garden he proposed to me in. I decided actually, and Desmond just went along with it. There is one thing I have wanted for the longest time and that was to dance with my husband beneath the night sky with the stars shining down on us.“You look so beautiful.” Cara said. She did my makeup for me and helped with every other thing, alongside Helen.They hadn't been surprised when we popped out and announced that we were going to have our wedding here in Maldives as well. They had been thrilled instead. They did the running round and all I had to do was decide from the choices they picked out.“You think?”“We know so,” Helen confirmed and my smile got wider. “Take a look at yourself and have some time, you'll soon need to walk down the aisle.” They brought the veil, then they left.Once I was alone, I exhaled softly and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I'd chosen an A line soft ivory wedding gown with very thin sleeves, it was exactly

Chapter: Hundred and TwentyIsabel“Has it shown yet??” I asked Desmond, who was keeping his eyes on the three pregnancy tests that I just peed on. He shook his head and I continued my pacing.We had snuck out in the middle of celebrating the wedding and my new engagement because he noticed how worried I was. He drove us to a convenience store and picked out three pregnancy kits for me to use.Now we were back in our hotel room and my mind was running amok.What would I do if it turns out that I'm actually pregnant? I placed my hand on my belly and rubbed it softly. Was I ready to be a mother? To carry a pregnancy to term? “What do you want the answer to be?” He leaned off the counter and faced me, “would you like it if it comes out positive?"“Do you want me to be completely honest?”“Always.”“I'm freaking terrified, Desmond. So very scared, I don't know if I'm ready for this… I really…” my throat began to burn from the unshed tears. “I don't know.”He pulled me in and just held me, quietly. I remained in his

Chapter: Hundred and NineteenIsabelWhen I heard Desmond call out for me, I stiffened, wishing I could just disappear and return to the wedding ground or maybe just have the ability to turn back time so I could go back when my mind was nudging at me to just go back inside, but I wanted to wait it out a bit more and see if I'd look and feel a bit better. That didn't turn out so well.“Isabel, what happened?” I forced myself to smile as I shook my head. “I'm fine, I just got a little emotional watching our new couple but I did not want to rain on their parade so I came out to calm down.He narrowed his eyes suspiciously at me then he shook his head. “You are not telling me everything, what happened? Why are you out here?”“I already …”“And don't lie to me, or insult how much I actually know you. Tell me what happened?”“It's ridiculous”"I still want to know”"But, I'm fine now”"Isabel, come on. Talk to me”My eyes searched his face trying to find a way to wiggle out of this. How do I tell him that I came out he

Chapter: Hundred and EighteenDesmondSubconsciously, my hand went to my pockets again where the ring has been in and where my hand has been reaching since the day started. Given Isabel's words yesterday, I didn't want her to accidentally stumble on it and start to feel guilty, so I decided to carry it around.The plan had been to propose after her birthday, I've had this ring for nearly a year now and it was funny now to think about.From the very beginning, even when things were unsure, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Isabel, and when she agreed to my girlfriend proposal, I went ahead and bought the engagement ring because I knew there was no way on Earth I was going to let her go.I searched 5 different stores before I finally decided to have one made from scratch for her, something I was sure she wouldn’t mind looking at every now and then.But ever since I purchased the ring, the timing never felt right and now, it feels like it will never be right.I was not going to let Isabel go,ever, but

Chapter: Hundred and SeventeenIsabel Cara made the most beautiful bride I'd seen in a while. It was clear that she was still a bit hungover, but it didn't cause even a dent on her.She walked down with aisle with grace I'd never seen before. And her eyes were pinned only on one person, Denzel, whose eyes have turned watery and a few teardrops manage to escape as well.They both looked so good.He immediately took her hand once she was close enough. The officiator began the proceedings and soon they were exchanging their vows.My eyes searched for and finally found Desmond across the room as they were exchanging the vows, and I found him already looking at me. His lips stretched into a smile as we made eye contact, and my cheeks heated up a bit.Last night, I said I was glad he didn't propose to me, but now, a huge part of me wished we were the ones before the altar right now exchanging our rings and vows.I was already certain he was the only one I wanted to do life with, so why did I say that?“...you may now ki

Chapter: Hundred and SixteenIsabel“The dress is beautiful, “ I said as I did a 360 spin in front of the mirror.We landed about 30 minutes ago in the Maldives and our first stop was at a boutique where I changed into one of the most gorgeous floral dresses I'd ever seen. Desmond already had it picked out.“How did you know I'd like this?” I asked Desnond who was looking at me and nodding his head in appreciation.“You are my woman, that should be enough explanation.” My belly fluttered at his response, getting on my tiptoes, I placed a very light kiss on his cheek.“Thank you.”“You don't have to thank me.” He wore the biggest smile on his face, “but you can kiss me a lot though.” “Don't be a tease.”He chuckled and gave me his arm. I quickly Intertwined it with mine and he led us outside, where the new Rolls Royce he purchased a few weeks ago was already waiting for us.“I'm guessing you're leading me to where the actual surprise is? what should I be expecting?”“How did you guess that?’”I rolled my eyes an
