Chapter 53 A Surprise
“Alexander, the breakfast is so yummy. It’s making my taste buds dance. You cook delicious food.” I praise him, savouring every bite of all the dishes he has prepared for me.
“But not more than you, my love.” He takes my hand in his and places a kiss on it, bringing a smile to my face.
After having breakfast, I stand up. “Alexander, let’s go to my room. I want to show you something.”
“What?” He asks, rising from the sofa.
“Just follow me, I’ll show you directly.” I command him and walk out of his room, and he follows me obediently. I never thought that one day this control freak man would comply with my orders. My heart fills with joy whenever I think he changed himself for me.
As we enter my room, I immediately lock the door because I don’t want anyone to catch us together.
“Alice, why don’t you shift to my room? I can’t let you stay in this small quarter.” He suggests, settling down on the bed while I take out my all the art files from the cupboard.
“Alexander, you know I can’t shift with you right now. And I’m fine with this small room.” As I walk over to him, struggling to hold all the files, he rushes towards me and takes them from me.
“Thank you.” As I stand on my toes and peck on his cheek, a smile touches his lips.
We settle down on the bed, keeping the files between us.
I hand him the file, brimming with excitement, and urge him to open it and see what I have created.
After opening the file, he looks at my artworks with a smile on his face.
“You’re so talented, Alice.” As he praises me, I just beam at him.
As he sees his portrait, a radiant smile graces his face, a smile that I have captured in my artwork. It has always held a special place in my heart. I have created this art for me, never thought that I would show it to him.
“You drew me?” He exclaims with a mixture of astonishment and joy on his face, admiring his portrait.
“Alice, you have a magic in your hands; it’s absolutely incredible.” He takes my hand in his and places a gentle kiss on it.
“And I look so charming in this portrait.” He adds, letting out a chuckle.
“I made this because I adore your captivating smile, Alexander. From the moment I first saw it, I became a devoted fan of it. I use to like it from the time when most of the time you remained like this.” I mimic his angry expression, and he bursts into laughter.
“Since I fell for you, my smile has never left my face, Alice. You are the reason for my constant happiness.” He confesses, placing his hand on my face and gazing into my eyes with profound love in his blue eyes.
“And I want to remain the constant reason for your smile, Alexander.” I stroke his cheek and place a soft kiss on his lips.

In the evening,
Alexander gifts me a dress and asks me to get ready.
“Alexander, where are we going?” I inquire, stepping out of his dressing room after getting ready.
“It’s a surprise, Alice.” He approaches me while admiring me with a smile on his face.
“Wow! I love surprises.” A grin flashes on my face.
“You look stunning, my girl.” He places a soft kiss on my cheek.
“Let’s go now.” He clasps my hand and walks over to the door.
“Alexander, we can’t go together.” He stops upon listening to my words.
“Oops, I forgot that. So I’m heading to the terrace now. Meet me there within five minutes. Okay?” He instructs me.
“Okay.” I give him a nod, and he leaves after kissing my hand.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
After five minutes,
Does he plan a date on the terrace? I wonder as I ascend upstairs.
As I step onto the luxurious terrace, the cool evening breeze gently caresses my skin. The twinkling lights of the city below create a mesmerizing view, but it’s Alexander’s presence that truly captivates me.
He stands at the edge of the terrace beside a copper, dressed in a sleek suit that highlights his handsome features. His eyes light up as he spots me, and a warm smile graces his lips.
He walks over to me and stands behind me. “You will love the surprise, Alice.” He tells me before blindfolding me, and my excitement intensifies.
I feel Alexander’s warm hand gently guiding me. We board a waiting helicopter, and he fastens my seatbelt securely. The sound of the rotors fills the air as we take off. My grip tightens around his hand with slight nervousness.
The sensation of flying fills me with exhilaration, and I wonder where he’s taking me, knowing that it will be something extraordinary.
“Are we there yet?” I ask after a few minutes, unable to contain my curiosity.
He chuckles softly, his voice barely audible over the noise of the chopper. “Not yet, Alice. Just a little longer.”
Time seems to stretch as we continue our journey. I try to imagine where he might be taking me, but my mind is filled with endless possibilities. The blindfold heightens my senses, making the anticipation almost palpable.
Finally, the chopper begins to descend, and I can sense a change in the atmosphere. The sound of the blades becomes muffled, and a gentle breeze brushes against my skin.
As he takes off my blindfold, my eyes flutter before fully opening. My eyes shimmer when I see the helicopter landing smoothly on the deck of a luxurious yacht.
Wow! The scenario is so breathtaking.
I shift my gaze to Alexander and grin at him. “Alexander, this is incredible! I can’t believe you planned this.”
“This is just the beginning, Alice. There’s more to come.” He gently brushes my hair away from my face and tucks it behind my ears, his touch filled with tenderness. I can see the excitement in his eyes, matching the joy that bubbles within me.
He takes my hand and leads me out of the copper.
“Welcome, Mam.” “Welcome, Sir.” The captain warmly greets us, shaking his hands with us. I just pass him a small smile.
As we head to the edge of the yacht, we feel the gentle spray of seawater on our faces. He wraps his arms around my waist from behind, holding me close as we admire the surrounding beauty.
“I wanted to create a special evening for us, away from the chaos of the world.” He utters, his voice filled with love. “Just you, me, and the endless sea.” He leans down and kisses my head.
I place my hand on his, a smile playing on my lips. “You make me feel like the luckiest woman in the world, Alexander.”
He steps in front of me and takes my hand, clasping it tightly. “I’m the luckiest man in the world to have such a caring and loving woman in my life.” He whispers, kissing my hand gently. A smile spreads across our faces, and our eyes lock, lost in the depths of our connection.
It’s hard to believe that he’s the same person I met at the beginning, a monster, the rudest man I’d ever met. Now, he’s the most romantic and loving man on the planet, and it makes all the hardships I endured worthwhile. I have witnessed a side of him he once concealed, and it fills me with a sense of joy and gratitude.
And now, this handsome man is mine and mine alone. The journey we have traveled, with all its ups and downs, has led us to this point of love and understanding.
Lost in my thoughts, I gaze at him, my heart overflowing with affection. I rise onto my tiptoes and press my lips against his. He kisses me with tenderness, his arms enveloping my waist as he draws me closer to him, igniting a fire in me.
I wish I could stop time and live this moment with him forever, just the two of us.
