Capítulo 52: Chapter fifty two
Stevens pov
Soon the donton family was taken care of, we found out that the Dontons were already on the verge of bankruptcy so we just played a small game and their business came crashing down.
George had been taken to court and was given a sentence of 20 years imprisonment with harsh labor, while little miss Tracy she had also been taken care of.
She was going to get married into the stones family which so happens want to sign a contract with us, we threatened them that as long as the marriage happens the contract won't be signed, hence they cut off the alliance.
We also got their main investors to remove their investment from the family business which led them to crash. Now she would be so busy with her family's anger and packing up the broken pieces of her life that's she would have no time to be malicious to others again.
We all spent a lot of time with Selena at the hospital, and Mandy usually paid her a visit, they soon started to bond. I also explained to Aria about Mandy's transformation and she decided to give her a chance as well, even thou not on friendly terms they still talked and respected eachother well and got aquintaned.
In two weeks time selena was back to her full health, we also went back to work with the new projects launching date 3 months from now. Matteo's health was also soo much better now and they was no need for the operation.
One day Mandy texted me to meet at the seaside restaurant near the countryside as she has something important to discuss. It was 2hrs drive from town and I wonder what was so important that she had to call me all the way there.
The place was beautiful and simple with some country men singing beautiful and meaningful songs unlike the kpop and metallic music. The food was mainly seafood and it was simply as well. The view was excellent as the orange color of the sunset was illuminated by the water, the soft sand of the sea, and the cooling air that blows, it was all too good.
From a short distance I noticed Mandy walking towards me with a beautiful smile that graced her lips, her hair bounced along with her and some strands fly with the wind, she wore a very beautiful yet simple white dress that added to the scenery of the simple yet beautifully elegant place.
I smiled back at her when she reached me, before pulling a seat for her. " How are you" I asked her.
" Am great as you can see. Let's place an order shall we?" She asked.
" Okay, but I will have water, that's all" I replied her, I wasn't hungry or anything of the sort so just water would do.
" Okay, and I shall have a orange juice" she said before calling the waiter and placing the order.
Soon the waiter served us our order and left.
" So...., what do you wanna discuss" I asked her.
" You are single right?" She asked, and I nodded wondering what me been single has to do with this matter.
" Am also single" she said and took a brief pause. I gulped a mouthful of water, understanding what this might mean.
" Steven, you know I troubled you alot in the past couple of years and also harassed every girl that came close to you. And it's no wonder, everyone knew I was obsessed with you back then. But my obsession was born out of love and my nature of wanting everything to be about me and for me then".
" I have apologized for that and you had also forgiven me. After my therapy, I was over my madness, but there was always a spot for you in my heart. And after meeting you again, after all these years, I can feel the love again. It was always there, but it became stronger now that we became close".
" Am afraid of rejection indeed, but what's worse than rejection is bottling up my feelings and never confessing them. Atleast now that I told you, I would be in peace with my heart even if you reject me" she said her eyes looking straight into mine and I felt as thou it looked right into my soul.
I fisted my hands and unfisted it three times before calming myself.
" Mandy, am really sorry, but I don't feel the same feelings for you, I aspect that now you are a changed person, lovely and friendly, but you know matters of the heart are best known to the heart, and my heart doesn't feel for you" I said in the most less heartbreaking way I could.
" I know that, I know you don't have feelings for me, am very well aware of that. But I can assure you my love will be enough for both of us. You are caring and supportive as it is, sometimes that's all we need, and I will fill the void of love. Many girls are afraid to confess to a guy, mostly not because of fear of rejection, but because they are afraid that in the future the guy can always taunt them about been the one who proposed first".
" I seriously don't care about that, because I know you are not that type of man and you respect women, please just agree once okay, let's get married and I promise you I will fill our lives with love and happiness" she said grabbing my hand.
I looked into her eyes and it looked right back into mine. " Mandy, I, I love someone else" I told her.
I felt the hold on my hands losen a little and a sad smile danced on her lips before she asked, " Does she love you?"
That's a question I ask myself all the time, so how can I answer her.
" I don't know, but likely not" I answered. Her eyes smiled. " Can you confess to her" she asked again.
" I don't know either" I answered again, I have lost the courage to confess to her, because maybe she sees me as just a friend.
" Would you stay single for the rest of your life waiting for her" she asks again.
" Probably, probably not, I don't know" I answered again.
" Then give me that chance, let me be your wife please, and I promise, if it so happens that she loves you, and you want her I will gladly step aside for you two to be together". She said enthusiastically.
" Mandy, I don't have a father, am a bastard okay, I know nothing about my father, and my mom, she was all I had, but she also passed away, I have no one in my life, do you want to marry me even after knowing all this" I asked.
" Loving someone and accepting them shohld be unconditional, and abandoning my love just because of this insignificant things means I never really loved you. It isn't your fault that you have no father, and it's not your fault as well that your mom died".
" I know the pain of having ni parents, it played a huge role on my life and behavior, I only had my brother. Our parents died in a car crash living us orphaned, that's why I always want everything for myself to ease that burden of having no one".
" So yes Steven, as long as you are willing, then I would marry you no matter what, even if you have no penny to your name and no shelter, I would still choose you for the great human you are. Moreover you consider Arias family your family right, and with what I see they consider you family too, they can get us married, as your side of the family" she said.
If only she knew, now will I ask the family of the girl I love to get me married, its hilarious.
" Okay, Mandy, as you say, you make all the decisions I have no problem with that" I told her.
" Thank you Steven for giving me such a chance, I love you always" she said with a big smile.
