CHAPTER 69: THE PROPOSAL
ALEXANDER POV
2 YEARS LATER
I have been so busy these days preparing for Alexa's second birthday. Who would have thought that my little angel is now turning two years old.
Time really flies so fast and I am so thankful that we have overcome all the challenges that we encountered in our lives in the past two years.
We are now living here in the mansion that I bought specially for us in order to start a new life far away from the life that we had before which is full of stress and problems.
I must say that we are living happily and peacefully here.
I am already content with that as long as Natasha is happy and we can watch our daughter grow up with a complete family.
I couldn’t wish for more because I already have everything in my life and that is Natasha and Alexa.
Ofcourse, I am still planning to have more children with Natasha and I will find the perfect timing to handle that matter.
But for the meantime, I don’t want to force Natasha to sleep with me again.
I want to wait for it to come naturally but I don’t think I can’t wait for another two years because I badly want to take her to bed.
Damn, I just shook my head with that thought.
Anyway, today is the day that we are waiting for.
My daughter turns two years old today and we are all gathered here in our mansion to celebrate her birthday.
I prepared a grand celebration for Alexa because I want her to feel that I can give all to her as long as she will be happy.
And also, I prepared something for Natasha too and I am sure that she will be surprised. You will know about it later.
For now, let us celebrate my daughter’s birthday.
All of my family members and friends are present today and that same goes with Natasha.
I let her invite all of her loved ones including her guy best friend even though I am still annoyed at that guy until now because he is so close with my wife which makes me jealous every time.
“Dada, Dada!” I heard the small voice of my cute little angel and there she comes running to me while her mother is looking at her at her back.
My daughter is so cute. She can already walk now but she still can’t speak straight.
That is why she calls me Dada instead of daddy which I find so cute.
As my daughter’s grown up, she is getting more and more pretty and I am sure that she will grow up as a fine young lady.
Ofcourse, I can’t avoid some guys who might have an interest in her but before they can go with my daughter, they still need to pass on my initiation. I just smirked at that thought.
“Careful, baby. Dada is just here. Happy birthday again! How is my baby doing, hmm?” I just asked her and I bent down to carry her and kissed her fluffy cheeks.
“Dada, cake, cake!” my daughter said to me and pointed at her big cake on the table.
I looked at Natasha and she just shook her head as a sign of disagreement to me.
I just chuckled at her face because she is like that everytime Alexa is going to me because her mom is not allowing her to do what she wants.
I must say that Natasha is a really strict mother to our child but I understand her because I know that she is just doing that for our daughter’s own good.
“Can she eat her cake now, babe?” I simply asked Natasha with puppy eyes.
Alexa just looked at her mom with a long face.
“No, she can’t. The celebration is just starting and she will just mess up her face and clothes,” Natasha simply answered.
“Oh, okay, I understand. I think your friends are looking for you, babe. Just go to them now, I will take care of our daughter,” I said to her.
She just frowned and went to her friends as I said.
“Okay, baby. I will give you a cupcake but don’t tell this to your mom, okay?” I said to my daughter and she just innocently nodded at me so we went to the pantry to get a cupcake.
“Here, eat this baby. Dada will feed you so that you will not mess up your clothes,” I simply said to her and I fed her small bites of the cupcake.
“Ahuh! So you are both here, huh. Natasha is looking for you right now. Tsk, tsk, I will tell Natasha that you are feeding my nephew a cupcake,” Axel appeared out of nowhere.
“Don’t dare, *ssh*le if you don’t want me to punch your face,” I just said to him with a serious and stern voice.
"Hi, Alex,” Abby interrupted us all of a sudden.
I looked at my silly younger brother and he got what I wanted so he carried my daughter away from me and Abby.
“Ah, thank you for inviting me here. I just want to say that I am leaving for London tomorrow. I decided to start a new beginning there. I’m sorry for what I have done in the past,” she said to me.
I did not file a case to Abby. Besides, Anthony bears all the responsibility about what happened before and he insists that Abby is innocent.
That is why, he is just the one whom we put in jail and I guess he is just paying off the wrong deed that he did to me and my family.
“Let’s just forget about that. I wish you all the best in the future, Abby. Please take care of yourself there,” I simply answered her.
“Dude! It’s the time!” Miggy said to me and I saw Ivan with him, smiling from ear to ear. I just signaled them to proceed and the light of the venue became dim.
The spotlight went to Natasha. I slowly walked towards her and I can’t believe that I will fall harder for this woman.
At first, I thought I would not fall in love with her because she is not my type but eventually my heart says the opposite.
She is the only woman that can make my heart pound so fast like this.
I saw her face with a confused look. She is probably clueless of what would happen next.
I looked her straight in the eyes. Damn, why am I so nervous right now?
I am Alexander Montilva and I never experienced getting nervous even though I am with an important meeting with my investors to seal a partnership.
“Dada!”
“What is the meaning of this, Alex?” Natasha asked me with a confused look the moment I approached her.
She is holding our daughter’s hand while they are both standing in front of me right now.
“Natasha, the mother of my child and will be the only mother of my future children. I am here in front of you now to declare my love and territory."
"I want to thank you for not giving up on me and for raising our daughter. Because of you, my life has changed and I learned the true meaning of love. With the presence of all our loved ones, I want to ask you this and I am not taking no for an answer.”
I paused for a while and I heard the gasping and laughing of some guests because of what I said.
I held Natasha’s free hand then I kissed the top of it. After I kissed the top of her hand, I slowly kneeled down in front of her.
I heard the reactions of the guests and some of them shouted because of the scene that they are seeing right now.
I cleared my throat and looked at Natasha who is already teary eyed right now.
I heaved a deep breath before speaking.
“Marry me again, Natasha,” I said with a serious and deep voice.
“Y-yes, I will marry you again, Alex,” Natasha simply answered with a cracked voice.
I immediately stood up and hugged her tight. Damn, I think I am the happiest and the luckiest man on earth now.
“I love you, Natasha,” I sincerely said to her and without any notice, I grabbed her waist and kissed her lips passionately in front of our child and in front of the guests.
