Chapter 49 End

Dante

Today is Paula's birthday, with the help of my mother, Carolina, Isa and Katy we organized a surprise party at home, specifically in the garden; but this day is more than special, I will ask her to marry me.

She has no idea and I am too nervous, in the morning we left together to go to the company, when we got there we went our separate ways. I just told her happy birthday love! And nothing else, I felt a hint of sadness in his eyes. She only said "Thank you"; I wanted to laugh because she thinks that I do not give importance, what she does not imagine is that I have been planning this day for more than a week.

The idea was Carolina's, I told her that today was her birthday so she said it was the perfect time to do it.

After leaving her at the company and checking some things I went back to the house to organize everything, all the family and friends will be there, including my brother Gian who told me that he could not miss this day, and he arrived an hour ago with Cloe, his girlfriend.

I also asked Isa to help me, and about her, I tell you that when my baby asked me for a place for her friend I said yes and guess where I put her?

Well I tell you, she is Leonardo's personal assistant, after he was left without an assistant.

And when I told him about it, the poor guy almost had a heart attack, he refused completely claiming that she wouldn't know about it, apparently she is afraid of the beast.

But the blonde has character, she is a little shrew, Leo's words, but I know she likes it more than she should, these two will have a lot of work to do.

Anyway, as we didn't know what to do to make Paula go straight to the house today when she leaves the company, Katia will call her to get home quickly, claiming that something urgent has happened.

I hope not to scare her or anything, Christhofer will bring her since he didn't bring a car.

We are all together, my mother, my father, my sister and brother with Cloe, Leonardo, Iam, Katy, Katia, Isa, Mrs. Sara, it will be a very intimate moment and I was too nervous waiting for my wife, my torture and the love of my life.

Paula

I am very sad, no one has remembered my birthday, Dante barely said Happy Birthday with a kiss on the mouth and nothing else, Isa who is my best friend has always remembered my birthday and this time she didn't even send me a message greeting me, Katy was still asleep when I left home just because of that, I know that my princess is the only one who always remembers my birthday.

But I thought it would be the happiest day of my life, but not really, the whole day I didn't see Dante, just a few words and nothing else, only here my colleagues put balloons in the office and gave me a little detail, if nothing else.

I'm leaving the office when I get a call, it was Katia, I'm starting to worry if something happened to Katy.

"Hi... Hi." I answer with shaking hands.

"Paula, are you coming?"
"Yes, what's wrong Katia, did something happen with Katy, is she ok?" I attacked her with questions.

"Yes Paula, she is perfectly fine, but I need you to come urgently to the house please."

"Tell me Katia what's going on?" I ask again in desperation.

"I can't tell you over the phone, you must come."

"Ok I'm on my way." I quickly hang up quickly going down in the elevator.

Going down to the parking lot, I was expecting to see Dante, but it wasn't like that, again I'm disappointed.

"Miss, I'll take you home." it's Christofer.

I nod. "If it's okay, give me a quick ride."

"You don't know about the mister, Cris?" I ask as I get in.

Cris stares at me in the rearview mirror.

"No miss, I haven't heard from him."

I lean back in the seat and sigh, I just want to get home to find out what happened.

I arrive fifteen minutes later, but I don't see anyone, how strange, I enter the house and nothing.

"Hello." I speak, but no one answers. I hear noises in the garden and I walk towards it.

When I get there, oh my God, I put my hand to my mouth, my God!!!! This is beautiful.

"Surprise!!!" they shout and what a surprise, they were all here....

And when I say everyone is everyone, Katy is the first one who runs to me and gives me a present. 

"Happy Birthday Sis, I love you!" she hugs me and so do I, kissing her forehead.

  I smile like a fool. "Wow I thought they forgot about my birthday" I say with tears in my eyes.

They all laugh and come up to greet me one by one, all wishing me happy birthday and giving me a present.

"Everything is beautiful Thank you all indeed." And it is true it is beautiful, full of white and red roses with heart balloons and candles.

   But I don't see Dante... "And Dante don't they know what happened of him?" I ask distressed.

   They all look at each other without saying anything. "What's going on, where is Dante?" I already ask desperate, in case something happened.

And then everyone looks back, when I hear someone singing behind me, I slowly turn around and there he was, in an impeccable black suit with a white shirt, and a bouquet of red roses in his hands and a smile from ear to ear.

With two people singing behind him and it's that song that he had once made me listen to over the phone I remember it very well.

You are the candle, love is the flame,
a fire that burns in the wind and rain,
shine your light in this heart of mine,
till the end of time.
You came to me like the dawn through the night,
shining like the sun,
out of my dreams, coming into my life,
you're the only one I love, you're the only one.

I said I loved you, but I lied,
because this thing I feel inside is more than love.
I said I loved you, but I was wrong,
because love can never ever be this strong,
I said I loved you, but I lied.
