Chris took them to Royal Emperor Restaurant, it was one of the greatest restaurant in the country, to the extend that a bottle of wine cost $20,000. "Yea, freaking $20,000 for a bottle of wine". As he stopped the car, Sophie couldn't believe that he actually bought her here just to have dinner.
Are we eating here?; she asked with eyes in shock and her face looking anxious.
"Mmm" was the only sound Chris made and nodded his head.
In the restaurant, Sophie could only see Politically influential people(ministers, governors, mayors e.t.c), business tycoons, famous actor, actresses, musician and so many globally recognised people. Chris already made reservations, the usher took them to a table in the VIP section, there table was located in a quiet corner where no one will even notice there are people there. They both sat and the waiter brought them the menu list, Sophie sat quietly checking the food they serve but all she could see were the prices.
"shrimps $50,000, grilled catfish(tail section) $40,000, calamari $45,000, vegetable salad $30,000. F*ck, what am i supposed to order, everything here is so damn expensive, what do i choose?" she was thinking as her face filled with confusion, Chris looked up at her because she has been looking at the menu booklet for long and he noticed the expression on her face then he smiled and shook his head.
Just get us a bottle of wine for now; Chris ordered.
Sophie looked up and his eyes were looking straight at her so she quickly averted her gaze. It took only 2min for the waiter to get the wine. He opened it and poured an exact amount of portion in each of their wine glasses.
"EHEM" Chris cleared his throat which made Sophie slowly raise her head to look at him.
I wanted to talk to you about something really important; Chris spoke with a gentle voice which made her heart feel warm.
Ok sir. So what do you want to talk about?; Sophie asked as she took a sip of the wine gently and elegantly.
"Well......." Chris hesitated and took a deep breath then continue "I need your help, its not a simple help, am not sure id you will be willing to accept"
I owe you for saving my life and helping me get it back. I will do anything to repay you; Sophie replied with sincerity and honesty in her eyes.
Its not a simple request, you may take it the wrong way, you may think i thought so low of you, you may even feel i disrespected you but am only doing this for someone i love and only for him; Chris explained now his voice became even much lower and he bend his head downward.
I promise you i will do whatever you want me to, i owe you my life for real and i meant it when i said i will do anything to repay you; her sweet, soft and heart warming voice made Chris feel confident. She then took another sip from her glass.
Ok miss sapphire, I WANT YOU TO MARRY ME; Chris's voice sounded cold and commanding with confidence on his, no sign of fear and a touch of seriousness.
"UHUH, UHUH, UHUH, UHUH"; Sophie coughed violently, she almost choked on the wine in her mouth, Chris rushed over to her and took the wine glass her hand and placed it on the table, then he ordered the waiter to bring her a glass of water. After she drank the water and calmed down for some minutes she began to question him like an investigator.
"Did you just ask me to marry you?"
"Yes" chris replied
"But why me?"
"Because........ You are the only lady in my life right now, i trust you, i know you will understand what am asking of you. Also, my father has always wanted to see my wedding but am afraid he may not live to see that day if i went through the normal procedures[1]"
Oh what is wrong with him; Sophie asked looking concerned as she held chris's hands.
Well he has a lung disease and the doctors said its past the stage for any cure to be effective; his voice sounded shaky like he was going to cry as he spoke.
WHAT!!; Sophie's eyes widened as she put her hands over his shoulder and slowly rub his back.
Thats why i want you to marry me, so i can give him his last wish, so he can rest peacefully. You don't have to be with me forever, just as long as he is alive. I dont really want him to leave me, but as he says "all good things must end"; Chris softly spoke his eyes looking watering but he suppressed his tears that non had dropped.
I will do it; she answered softly, her voice sounded assuring with no hesitation.
Really?; Chris's eyes lit up as he looked at her straight at her face with disbelief.
Yes this is the least i could do for you. I told you, i owe you my life; Her words were like beautiful melodies to chris heart. If only he knew her motive behind her acceptance.

At sophie's house, Chris just dropped her off. They both seemed to be in a good mood, both laughing as she got off the car. She stood outside the house and her gaze followed his car till it was out of sight and began having thoughts.
"So the old man is already dying, well that made my work easier, i just have you and your sister to take care of, simple. You made my father suffer, you will have to feel the pain we felt for 8 years, what my mother went through to raise me while you just sat in your beautiful homes and spend all you want" Sophie thought in her mind as an evil smirk appeared on her face.
