The Billionaire Secret Admirer

We arrived at Lili’s restaurant and Ohio came around to open the door and took my hands into his.

He guide me inside slowly. Immediately we got in, there was a chorused unexpected shout out. “Happy birthday Becca” I almost fainted from shock. Thank God Ohio was beside me and held me from falling.

I saw people gathered with two big decorated cake and different gifts and balloons all over the place. My name was painted every corner of the restaurant.

There was Melinda and Cole, Rina, Ella, Lili and her husband with two sons, Cherry, that’s Ohio secretary at work, many other people including the staffs at the restaurants, the people I know and the ones I can’t recognized. I covered my mouth from screaming. I have never had a surprised birthday before and this was wow! How did Ohio managed to pull all this people together. I know Melinda is his partner in crime. She must have helped him out.

The cakes were placed on a table which was in front of me, I had a tickle of tear drop. Rina who was beside me with her little daughter handed me a tissue.

Melinda was busy with other photographers, making videos and taking pictures. They sang for me and asked me to cut the cake and immediately I did that, there was another cheer and I did not realize that Ohio went on one knee beside me.

I was busy laughing and trying to pose for the camera when I noticed that people were looking in one direction.

I followed their gaze and saw Ohio. He had one of the most beautiful diamond rings that I have ever seen in his hand. He lifted it out while still on a knee.

“Becca, will you marry me???

I looked around me to know if this this was all for me. I quietly pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

This was too good to be true, I screamed out excitedly. I couldn’t hold back myself. I covered my mouth before another scream will give way. Tears run down my face and I did not bother to clean it up. I look around again at the beautiful and smiling faces urging me to say yes. Some were even saying yes on my behalf. How did God decided to bless me with so much today?

This was a place my heart was shattered and it became the same place a man like Ohio who i thought I will never attend to his class, he was on his knee asking me to marry him.

Who will ever say “No” to such a man? I couldn’t say a word as I began to nod my head. And gently the word came out straight.

“Yes, I will marry you”.

Wait a second, did Ohio just proposed and I said yes. I mean this is all a reality not some sort of dream or prank. Oh my God, I wanted to scream down the roof as Ohio slipped the ring into my finger.

This was higher than the ring I bought to engage myself which I left at home. I felt undeserving of everything that just took place.

It was just too much to take in at once. After he slipped the ring, he stood, kissed and hugged me right in front of everyone.

Melinda’s voice was the loudest, as she kept jumping and screaming out happily as if she was the one getting engaged. It was her usual way and it was the happiest day of my life.

I couldn’t just stop myself from admiring the ring, and praying that all this is truly happening and not some dream I will wake from.

We had a lot to eat and drink and even danced our heart out. i later understand why Ohio went shopping for me and asked me to change into the beautiful dressed and shoe. I’m so happy that I obeyed and wore the gown and the ankle strapped burgundy heel shoe. It was perfect for the whole occasion.

I dated Richard for three years and expected a ring but at the end he left me with a heart break. Despite I have known Ohio for long but we started dating officially just few months ago. Our relationship is not even up to a year and yet he proposed, he actually proposed within a year of getting into relationship with him. I can’t still come out of the shock that Ohio asked me to marry him and I said yes. Our relationship was not upto a year and he was already proposing. I was very happy that I felt like jumping to the roof of the building and screaming out to the world that a man actually proposed to me, then I will stretched out my hand for the whole world to see the beautiful ring.

I did not see any of this coming. Both the surprise birthday party and proposal. Everything took me off guard.

I’m Ohio Jacob’s wife to be and it was one good feeling I can’t seem to stop myself from.

He introduced a couple to me. The young man shared some resemblance with Ohio

“Becca, this is Klint…my brother and his beautiful wife, Teri. They flew all the way down yesterday after I told them I was going to propose. Klint and Teri wanted to witness this day. I was hoping and also prayerful that you won’t say no to me. Teri rose my fear on that but Melinda reassured me that I have nothing to worry about. I’m finally having you all to myself soon. We have a big wedding to plan Becca.

I’m still dumb founded with everything happening really fast. I hugged Ohio’s handsome brother Klint and his beautiful wife Teri.

Teri said she was an event planner and will give us a perfect colour of the day.

We all had a good time, I was at the door with Ohio greeting everyone as they leave. They kept singing congratulation as I hugged them and said goodnight to them.

Anita was on a honey moon, she was not among the crowd. Jojo could have being here but she sold her heart out to the devil and said I will never be happy in my life but the table is gradually turning for my good.

Lili made sure every of the guest had a gift pack to go home with. Ohio booked the whole restaurant for the day and there was no customer for that day except the people who came for my party.

I was so tired when Ohio dropped me off that night. I wish we can go to his house, I would have love to sleep in his arm and thank him properly for giving me the best day I will never forget in my life.

I was still resistance to leave his car and he was not ready to let me go. He asked if I want to come over to his place and pass the night. I gladly said yes.

He turned the car and drove to his house. Klint and Teri who came in one of Ohio’s car was already in the house.

We had a long night gist and I got to speak with Ohio’s parents through a video call with Ohio’s phone and even Natalie as they said their congratulation and also wish me happy birthday. They said they can’t wait to finally meet me.

That night, after we retired to the room. I freshened up and wore Ohio’s pyjamas which was too big but I love being in his cloths.

After our usual kissing, he said goodnight. I thought there will be more. But I was too happy with the ring on my finger that I accepted the goodnight kiss only. He covered me up with a duvet, kissed my forehead like a child and held me in his arms as I slept.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Which other feeling is bigger than this. Having a man like Ohio to yourself. Even though I have my worries of him still not making the intimate move but my happiness was bigger than it.

I was staring at my ring until I slept off that night. The following day the first thing I checked was my ring which was still cooling on my finger.

I had breakfast in bed from Ohio. The day was a beautiful one. I spent it with Teri, talking and laughing.

It was that evening that Ohio went to drop me off. I wish the wedding is done and dusted so that I can move in with him and not come back to a quiet house.

He followed me inside and stayed for some time before leaving.

The week worn on, Klint and Teri traveled with a promise to return back soon. Melinda’s wedding followed up. I was back at my parent’s house, helping Melinda in every way necessary. Ohio drove down to check up and spend time with my Dad, they run the treadmill together and talk about the latest government news.

Melinda’s wedding day came and she was very beautiful in her wedding gown. The event was great. My Dad was happy as she walk Melinda down the aisle to Cole, who stood with the officiating priest.

Ohio was sitting beside me, he squeezed my hand and said our own big day is by the corner. I smile and nodded because I trust him with everything in me.
