"That's great son! Congratulations! " his father tapped his shoulder lightly.

His brother shook his hand. " Well done bro! Popping the question tonight is a good decision! Don't give Stacey the chance to change her mind about staying with you!" he joked.

He chuckled. This morning he realized that he was ready to marry her. He had the ring in his pocket. He had planned to tell Stacey everything about "Derick" before the night was over. He knew she would be very angry of course but he was hoping that she would soon forgive him. He was going to show her how much he cared for her to make it up to her. He was confident that because she loved him, she would forgive his. He would do everything to get her forgiveness.He would never let her go whatever happens and she would be his wife.

(Stacey)

She told Nick's mother and Vivien that she had to get her bag in the living room to make an important call. to get away from Nick's mother and Vivien. Her mind felt a bit numb from shock but she had to be alert so she could get away from the house.

When she saw that the living room was empty, she quickly got her bag and walked to the front door. She was hoping that the house didn't have any cctv cameras.

He saw a black van and a man and two women were putting trays of probably food inside. She recognized that the man was Nick's personal driver.

"Norman!" she called him while closing the distance between them. Her heart was thumping but she had to look composed.

The three turned to her. They all have a questioning look but after a few moments,the two women got in and closed the van's door while Norman was waiting for her to come nearer .

"Can you give me a ride please? I will explain later." she said with a small smile.

Though still looking puzzled, he nodded and opened the door of the shotgun for her. " I hope you don't mind sitting here. There's not much space at the back. Mrs. Alcantara gave all the food to us. We will drop them off to our families then be back here."

She said thank you and said hi to the two females at the back. She said a silent thank you when the van was out of the gate.

"I am sorry to trouble you but I had no choice. I have a surprise for Nick. I let his mother in on the secret. that's why I was able to escape. I will meet my friend at the nearest convenience store then we will drive back to the house. She is bringing my gift for Nick. " she lied and the driver nodded while the two females oohed and aahed

She was praying that Nick wouldn't get angry with his driver once he learned that he sort of help her get away.

"Could you drop me off that convenient store? I think I saw my friend's car already." she said casually.

She said thank you before getting off. She muttered a silent thank you when she saw an empty taxi.

All the staff were on tenterhooks when his angry voice vibrated in the living room.

His woman was nowhere to be found. He had been calling her but she wasn't picking up.

"She said she will just get her bag." His mother said for the nth time puzzlement in her voice.

"Where were you anyway?" His father asked Vivien.

"At Nick's old room."

He cursed and everyone looked at him with disapproval.

"Nicholas!! " came his mother's voice which sounded a bit annoyed already.

"For Pete's sake Mom! Why did you bring her to my room?!" he asked in a thunderous voice.

"Don't speak to your mother like that!" his father reprimanded him.

He turned to him. " Look dad, I am sorry. I'll explain everything later ." then his eyes went back to his mother, " Why mom? "

"I wanted her to see your awards."

He grabbed his hair in frustration while his family gawked at him .
