Chapter 88 At A Risk

• Richard's POV
• I hadn't proposed the first time because it was an arranged marriage but boy, no one had told me how my heart was going to slam so hard that I might not breathe. What if Reina told me a no? What if she wasn't interested in me? What if all this wasn't what she wanted, and she wanted something else? Maybe, the flowers and fine dining with decorations. Shit, I had messed this up, and I don't know how to make it even better at this point.
• She looked obviously smitten by it, but she wasn't making a move. I had seen this ring shortly before I went to Jackson's and I knew immediately that it was meant for her. Reina didn't love massive stones. She loved tiny pretty ones and that was the one I had gotten for her.
