CHAPTER 23
*In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing*
"What are you doing here Miley?"
"I was invited by your mother," she said pulling a chair.
She sat down. Stevie glared at his mother.
"Mum!"
"Okay, Yes I am the one who invited her. I don't like or love Adela. I don't want her to be my daughter- in law. Can't you see, she is not good enough for you. I want you to be with Miley. She is good enough for you, not her," she rolled her eyes.
"Wow! Impressive mother," he clapped his hands. "Dad! Are you in this together with mum?" his eyes on his dad.
"No, son. I didn't know anything about this. I am even surprised to see Miley when you made it clear to her that you love Adela and not her."
Adela just sat in silent.
"I don't know how many times I have to tell you this mum. I love Adela. She is the only woman for me. You disrespecting me mum. Love is something beautiful, a desire, a feeling that one would like to catch. Love is the feeling that makes you feel alive. Love is something that may never go away," he went on, " You see this lady sitting there. If I die and go to heaven, I put her name on a golden star. So that all angels can see how much she meant to me. I love her. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. This is exactly what happened to me. Bianca broke my heart. I thought I will never love again but here I am. Happy to have her in my life. I am looking for a word. I am looking for a whole new world. I am looking for a word. I am looking for a word that nobody knows. I am looking for a word. I am looking for a word that says...that she is the best!!! Thing that ever happened to me. I love you Adela with all of my heart. I bought you this ring,"
"What?" she gasped as he slid a small velvet box across the table.
"Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
His dark eyes were watching her intently. When she looked into them, tears streaming down on her face. She couldn't utter a word. She didn't expect this frim him. It came as a surprise. She reached for the box but he caught her hand in his. The heat of his touch was almost too much.
"I don't know what to say. I am shocked. I am ..."
"Shhh say Yes my love. We have been together for a while now. We have been through a lot but OUR love is stronger. Stronger than thee. Say Yes now and I will show you the finer things in life."
"Yes. Yes, I will marry you."
Slowly he let her hand go, opened the box and pulled out a glittering diamond ring. Miley and Angela watched at the two love birds. As he slid onto her fingers. He lifted her hand to his lips, his gaze holding hers captive and kissed her fingers. Miley stormed out of the room.
"Congratulation, son," said his father.
Angela walked upstairs. Adela laughed, unable to help herself.
"Lets go," he said in a throaty growl, sounding as if he really couldn't wait to get her home. Something indefinable skittered over her, making her tummy somersault and her breath tighten in her chest. It was dark as they walked back to their car. The warm breeze on her skin felt wonderful, but not as wonderful as Stevie's arm about her waist, pulling her against his magnificent body. By the car Stevie stopped. Instinctively she looked up at him, then couldn't help herself as she reached up and kissed his lips. His response was gentle at first, setting her body alight. The fire was fuelled further by his hands sliding down her back, pulling her so very close to him. As her hips pressed against his aroused body she knew he wanted her
"Stevie," she murmured against his lips
It was all the encouragement he needed and he deepened the kiss, plunging his tongue into her mouth as she sighed in pleasure. Need rocketed through her body and she almost became incapable of thought as he stepped closer, forcing her back against the side of his car, pressing hard against her and stoking the fire deep within her body.
"Let's take this home," he said.
He started the engine and drove off.

She got inside her house and went straight to her room forgetting to lock the door. She threw herself on the bed and screamed head hidden under the pillow.
"How could he embarass me like that?" she said to herself. "Waiting for him 3 years. She is going to pay for this. I swear she will."
She heard a sound coming from the sitting room. She walked downstairs.
"Who is there?"
There was no response. She was about to enter the kitchen when she turned around.
"Who are you?" she asked stepping back. "What are you doing in my house?"
The intruder didn't say anything but made a step close to her. She slipped and fell on the floor.
"Please don't hurt me!" she begged but the intruder didn't listen.
Took a knife and stabbed her on the chest closing her mouth. Stabbed her again and again. Took her phone and sent a message. She lay on the floor in a pool of blood
