They finished eating, Mark took her home. “Mark, thanks I have a great time, I enjoyed your company, food was delicious, and I like your father,” said Victoria blushing. “It was the best day of my life,” said Mark. Victoria hesitated, “Mark will you marry me?” Mark was shocked but he quickly snapped back to his senses. “Yes, I will marry you.” Victoria was so happy she hugged him. “it seems like I’m dreaming, I’m so happy”, said Victoria with tears in her eyes. When Mark saw her tears, his heart ached. He kissed her tears and said, “I’m the lucky one, who knew that I’ll meet you when I was meeting my father, so grateful to the Lord,” said Mark sheepishly. “When do you want us to register our marriage?” asked Mark, he was hoping that Victoria will say soon. “Can we register our marriage this week or next week after you asked my father’s permission to marry me”
Mark was so happy and said, “I will visit my father-in-law after work to ask your hand in marriage.” Victoria was beaming, she cannot wait to be Mrs Anthony. They were sitting in the car kissing. Mark went out of the car and opened the door for Victoria, he wrapped his arms around Victoria’s waist and kissed her. “Goodbye my love, I will see you tomorrow when visiting my father-in-law.” Victoria nodded her head and went to her house. Mark didn’t drive away he waited until she was inside the house then he left. When Victoria arrived home, her dad was waiting for her in the living room. “Dad why are you still up?” asked Victoria. “I’m waiting for you; how did it go?” Victoria told her dad that it was great, and she met Mark’s father. “Dad, Mark will pay you a visit tomorrow after work to ask my hand in marriage, please dad don’t be hard on him.” Her father laughed and said, “How can I be hard to my son in law?” Victoria was happy when she heard those words and kissed her father.
Then she went to her bedroom, she took a shower, dried her hair, and wore her pajamas. She was sitting on her bed in a daze, she couldn’t believe that she asked Mark Anthony to marry her. She giggled and checked her phone. There was a text message from Mark, he told her that he arrived safely, and he missed her already. He told her that he loved her so much. Victoria said she love him more and send him kisses. Mark was smiling brightly when he read Victoria’s text.
Victoria woke up early in the morning to prepare for work, when she checked her phone she saw a text message, it was from Mark before she read the message her phone rang. “Hello” she heard Mark’s voice, “good morning my wife, did you sleep well?” Victoria beamed when she heard the way Mark addressed her, “Good morning my handsome husband, I slept well thank you. Did you sleep well?” Mark replied smiling, “I didn’t sleep at all it feels like a dream that you are mine, I was pinching myself” Victoria laughed then they bid goodbye to each other.
Victoria took a shower and wore her business suit; she went to the dining room for breakfast. Her father was in the living room reading a newspaper waiting for her. “Good morning dad, did you sleep well” asked Victoria. “Good morning my beautiful daughter I slept well thank you, let us eat breakfast.” They went to the dining room to eat together. Her father was smiling from ear to ear and said, “at what time is my son in law visiting me?” Victoria replied smiling, “around 7 pm dad, he will come after work.” Her father nodded his head and said, “I will ask the butler to prepare dinner around that time.” Victoria said, “I will cook dinner today dad, I will come back early.” Her father nodded his head. Then they followed each other to work, today they used separate cars.
Serene Logan was having lunch with her friends at His Wings, they were celebrating Serene for being accepted by James’s parents. Serene told them that she hated them, and she would never forgive them for delaying her and James. “I didn’t even pretend to like them when they were at my house. I couldn’t believe that Victoria Lewis will divorce James easily, she is so stupid. Victoria Lewis is very pretty but she failed to capture James’s heart. James is handsome and rich every woman will be happy to marry him.” Macy replied, “while James married to Victoria, he spent most of his two years with you my friend he didn’t give Victoria Lewis a chance, he loves you so much.” Serene was beaming when she heard those words from Macy. She was arrogant and proud, in her eyes Victoria couldn’t compete with her.
Victoria came back early form work; she went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. She was going to cook lamb stew and rice and some salads. She told the housekeeper not to cook today. She went to her bedroom to change her work clothes to casual clothes. Then she went to the kitchen and start cooking, she finished cooking at 6:30 pm. She took a quick shower and wore a beautiful blue dress. She went to the living to join her father, he finished work at 6:30 pm. At 6:50 the doorbell rang, the butler went to open the door. Mark Anthony was holding flowers for Victoria, when he saw Victoria, he smiled and gave her the flowers. Then he smiled at Mr Lewis, “good evening dad, nice to see you.” Mr Lewis laughed when he heard the way Mark Anthony was addressing him and said, “good evening my son, how are you doing?” Mark Anthony told him that he was doing very well. The housekeeper told them that dinner was ready, they went to the dining room to eat. The atmosphere was good, they were chatting and laughing. The dishes were delicious, Mark praised the cook, Victoria told him that the food was cooked by her. Mark was surprised, Victoria was like a delicate flower.
