Maggie's POV

Its been two weeks since the incident that happened on my engagement day. Sam did everything possible to find out who shot my sister and later realised it was a coincidence but still managed to put them behind bars. Actually a certain guy was dumped and paid assassins to kill his ex girlfriend and according to the description she wore  a blue dress and Lucy as well wore a blue dress. Am just happy that my Lucy is healing and her worst nightmare had come to pass.

Lucy was scared thinking mark had traced her and I was worried as well but thank God it wasn't true . Sam came back to the hospital and gave us all the details of the night and we all heaved a sigh of relief. He came with a handsome young man with the brightest blue eyes I had never seen. He was dressed in black jeans with a white t-shirts and a smoking jacket. He had thick, dark, rich black hair. He had full lips which seemed more sensual and his face looked like that of a movie star.

He had an air of elegance and celebrity around him. He was strong looking with wide shoulders. He was tall an inch or so taller than Sam. There was power emanating from him and a cconfidence and certainty he seemed to young to possess. 

Hi am Ronnie he said stretching his hand towards Lucy for a handshake. Am sorry for what happened to you miss Lucy but trust me all will be well

. I guess this is your sister because her eyes sparkle with your exuberance. I looked at Lucy to see how she reacted to the compliment and oh she seemed to blossom under it like a flower in the warm summer rain.

I have had a lot about you ,he said turning to me for a second before he glances back at Lucy without waiting for my reply. What aweirdo I cursed under my breath.

I saw from the brightness in Lucy's eyes that she was interested in the Ronnie guy. I slipped my hands in Sam's and took him outside. If they are meant to be time will tell. I told my self as we went up the hospital balcony. We talked about many things, our future, our kids, work, school about everything. 

*****************

Sam's POV

I got to know that the men that idiot paid to Lucy came back and robbed him leaving him with serious injuries. Of course you don't expect him to have given them what they asked for peacefully. Thanks to Ronnie we traced his father and yes as you expect it to be they are both behind bars. I couldn't tell the girls the truth because I knew it will bring back their insecurities and I saw no reason to scare them since things were under control. The assassins haven't been caught yet, the corrupt security man is also behind bars and their case is to be heard in the court in three weeks time. 

Ronnie had insisted we tell the girls but after reaching the hospital he couldn't open his mouth to tell them. His madly in love with Lucy and vow to keep her safe.

ONE MONTH LATER

MAGGIE'S POV

Sam's mom came to the city and invited me to live with her for tWO days at his place. She's more like a mother to me and guess what? She came to choose a wedding dress for me and the first day I almost died of exhaustion. We kept going from one store to another until we finally got exactly what she wanted. To say it was breath taking is an understatement. The dress is so beautiful with diamond stoned encrusted on it. She picked a six inch heel which goes with the dress and all the jewelry. We missed lunch that day as time flew by very fast.

Ronnie and Lucy are in a serious relationship and trust am the happiest to see my sister happy. Just after Two weeks of their dating Lucy was introduced to Ronnie's parents and although they are very rich and of high class ,they didn't despise Lucy and accepted her with her flaws. Ronnie's father wasn't that happy with his son's choice but what can he do it seems they never related well with his son and the mother calls the shots. 

My wedding is in two weeks time and I have the blessings of Mr and Mrs Collins. Their son went back to the states and they also know about Lucy's relationship. They also went on the family dinner with Ronnie's parents as Lucy's guardians.

Today is Lucy's engagement day and I can't be more than grateful. Its meant to be a surprise for her but pray for me that I don't spill the beans. Am just so happy for her. 

Ronnie arrived in his white tuxedo and parked his SUV . he walked majestically with red roses in his hand towards the door. Come in my son Mrs Collins said happily.

. Lucy's eyes almost fell out as she quickly stood up to rush into the bedroom. Not so fast babe,he said grabbing her hand. She looked down unable to  look into his face. Why are you here Ronnie? She asked in a whisper. Look at me Lucy, he said and now he was down on one knee. Will you make me the happiest man alive by accepting to be my wife, my partner, the mother to our kids as well as my best friend? There was silence and tension in the room and a falling pin could be hard. 

I will marry you today, tomorrow or any day you mention. I love you Ronnie. She said all that in one breath as tears streamed down her chicks. I love you more  wifey to be, he said sliding the small ring with a diamond heart shaped crystal on her fingers. Shhhhhhhh no tears today he said wiping away her tears before hugging her so tight and we all broke the silence through clapping and shouting saying different things at the same time. 

He handed the roses to her before holding her hand and taking her with him to his black SUV .
