Chapter 3 Arrival Of The Sabotage

"Welcome sir it's a pleasure to have you here", Maria said and smiled back at Henry.

"Thank you dear", Jude said and smiled at her.

Henry laughed and she swatted his shoulder and smiled heading towards the stairs to the bedroom.

Maria's POV

"Why was he looking at me that way, I did not wear this hot dress for him, wherever I can not imagine being in an affair with him because Henry is more than enough for me"Maria thought when she walked into the bedroom and locked the door.

"You're really having your fun bro, she's a perfect lady", Jude spoke sipping from his glass of wine.

"She is all I need and I am going to go ahead and arrange our wedding after I finish with the final project that I am doing at my firm," Henry said with a smile taking a sip from his wine glass.

Jude's POV

"So Henry hasn't Married her yet?Don't worry Jude I Know what to do,I will ensure that I convert her to me and wed her, she's so gorgeous and cute to remain with my cousin",He dreamed and smiled imitating his stares on the TV as his heart was on an organized mission.

"Would you like something to eat?" Henry asked, shattering the silence between them.

"No thanks bro, I'm fine with these", Jude responded and nursed his glass of wine cradling it slowly in the small tray on the glass table between them. He got up and rubbed his hand over his face looking at Henry.

"I'll catch up with you bro, I was just popping by to say hello today,maybe grab a meal when I come next".

Henry stood up and grinned,"Thanks Bro for cutting your time to visit me, You're always welcome at my mansion anytime".

"Thank you very much, best to your fiancée, let her know I would see her again",Jude replied with a grin, the words escaped him at once and he knew that he had crossed the bridge.

Henry just smiled and closed it, "I'll do it when I meet her".They shake hands and approach the door, Henry opens it and he exits.

"Bye"

Henry muttered and closed it again, locked it behind.His eyes automatically glanced at the wall clock.

"It's getting to night,6:45pm" he muttered going to the stairs.

"My love", he is referring to Maria walking towards the bedroom to view her. He opened and saw her seated worried by the edge of the bed.

His heart was pounding,"What is it my darling", Henry inquired moving nearer to her and sitting beside her.

Maria turned and looked at him intensely, her eyes showing that she had something to inquire from him.

"Do you really love me Henry?"

The words escaped her lips and stabbed Henry's heart as he stood nearer and hugged her into him. His heart started racing with so many questions,he looked directly at her and their eyes met.

Maria's heart was beating faster because she couldn't wait to hear his answer.

"I love you so much Maria, and you are the only woman I wish to be my wife". Henry stated, his hands pointing to her hair.

Henry's heart beats doubled as tears flowed down her cheeks, he sat facing and embracing her.

"Please Maria tell me, what is it?"

Maria stood up and put her palms on his shoulders climbing and sitting on his thighs.

Henry started wondering to himself what could be the reason for her pain,he could not know the answer.

He carefully put his hands on her waist and gazed into her eyes with so much care and concern.

"My beloved, I'm with you and would never leave you behind, open your heart to me"he appeals.

Maria moved to nuzzle him and began kissing him.Henry obliged as soon as possible and he gave her the kiss of her life.

There was a minute of deep long kissing before Henry gasped and looked at her maybe if she was satisfied.

Maria smiled and winked at him. Henry

Smiled and kissed her cheeks.

"I want to say something to you my love, it has been concerning me for a long time and I want to say it today so that I can be free of heart". Maria said, smiling embracing him tight,she felt the sudden rise of his heartbeat.

"You have my ears darling", Henry replied briefly, being quite keen to listen to what his fiancée was going to say to him.

"Promise me that you will not be angry with me, if I tell you the truth?"Maria asked, looking deep into him.

" I won't love, trust me",He replied.

"I wanted to tell you that."

She hesitated and smiled.

Henry could not wait anymore, his heart had nearly stopped beating. Looking still into her eyes, he motioned to her with his eyes to go on.

"My beloved,You never uttered anything regarding our marriage,You have not given me any words of assurance that you are planning for our marriage,Even I waited for days to get news from you regarding it but you have not,my friends know that you are my fiance and they always tease me that you will not marry me, please take necessary actions my love", said Maria and paused.

Henry's body and mind regained what she was saying and he must react. He kissed the two cheeks of hers and his hand went towards her hair.

"I regret so much for not remembering to talk about it to you my choice that you are the one whom I am going to get married to,my intention is to finish my last work that I have not yet done in my business it will not be long believe me dear, and afterwards we will move on to come up with the scheme of our wedding.".

Maria Smiled more than ever before,he was glad to know that his fiance was planning to organize their wedding.

"Thank you darling, I'll happily wait until you finish your project,I'll always be there with you to assist you,I Love you Henry".

Henry smiled and held her waist kissing her neck slowly.
