With that, he presented a meticulously prepared diamond ring box, and revealed its contents before her.
Inside lay an 18-carat ruby white diamond ring, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Some time ago, Nathan had entrusted Sonny with the task of purchasing the ring at a charity auction, bidding a whopping 9.9 billion dollars.

To make it even more special, he had Lucinda’s name engraved on the ring.
“Lucinda, will you marry me?”
In a daze, Lucinda stared at the ruby white diamond ring in his hand, and then shifted her gaze to Nathan’s incredibly handsome face. Tears welled up in her eyes.
All the loneliness, frustration, and disappointment she had felt vanished, replaced by an indescribable surge of emotions.
Just when she doubted whether Nathan would give up on her because of her sudden change of identity, he had gone above and beyond to plan this surprise. It touched her heart deeply.
This was the man she loved with all her heart.
He was also the man who loved her more than anything else in the world.
“Baby, my knees are killing me. Say yes please.” As he didn’t get a response, Nathan softened his voice and acted like a spoiled child.
Lucinda couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She stretched out her right hand to Nathan.
“Take your sweet time deciding if you really want to marry me. But beware, if you ever betray me in the future, I won’t go easy on you.”
Nathan responded with a mischievous grin, “Sure, I’ll make sure to keep the washboard and ferule handy, just in case. You can punish me with them whenever you please.”
His words brought a smile to Lucinda’s face, erasing the sadness that had clouded her just thirty minutes ago.
She couldn’t help but feel touched, and joy bubbled up within her.
With a firm grip, Nathan took her hand and confidently slipped the ring onto her finger. Echoing her playful tone, he continued, “With this sparkly diamond ring, you’re officially stuck with me, honey.
There’s no escaping my clutches now.”
He pressed a soft, tender ki*s on the back of her hand before standing up and holding her in his arms.
“Wait!” she exclaimed, her gaze fixated on the green roses beneath the tree.
“They’re so beautiful. We can’t just toss them away. Let’s have the bodyguards put them in vases and place them throughout every room.”
“Alright.”
Nathan leaned down to steal another ki*s. Then they walked hand in hand into the villa.
Intrigued, Lucinda couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked, “Why did you choose green roses? I thought you despised the color green. This is the first proposal I’ve seen with green roses.”
