Naomi and Mia were restless, their minds racing with thoughts of what their men had planned for the weekend. They sat at the dinner table, trying to focus on the meal, but their eyes kept drifting to Alex and Nathan.
Their men seemed engrossed in conversation with the rest of the family, completely carefree. After the meal was over, Alex and Nathan bid the family goodbye and left. Jimmy and his brothers followed suit, leaving Naomi and Mia alone in their room.
Mrs. Elena was away on a business trip, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. Naomi and Mia came to their room still looking puzzled.
"Why are you so deep in thought?" Mia asked, noticing Naomi's distant expression.
"I'm just curious right now," Naomi replied.
"What's it about?"
"I can see you're still feeling the same," Naomi said, smiling knowingly. "Tell me yours first."
"Nathan said he has a surprise for me this weekend, but I'm so curious to know what it is."
"I'm sure he's surprising you with a dinner, trying to guess.
"He looks so mischievous," Mia said.
"I guess those two have something up their sleeves," Naomi said, smiling. "They're always full of surprises."
"Exactly," Mia agreed. "Now this is making me so curious." Both girls sat on the bed, their minds racing with possibilities.
"Don't be," Naomi said, sighing.
"What about you?"
"He asked me to get prepared this weekend, and I don't know what that means," Naomi replied
Mia's eyes widened in understanding.
"You literally don't know what he meant by 'get prepared'?" she asked, smiling knowingly.
"No,"
"Let me tell you," Mia said, leaning closer to Naomi's ear and whispering something that made Naomi's eyes widen in surprise.
They pushed her back, giggling, and Naomi stared at her, her face flushing.
"That's what he meant?"
"I guess so," she replied, teasingly. "Get really prepared this weekend. You might as well become a woman."
At Nathan's room, Nathan was engrossed in a phone call with someone.
"Is everything ready for the weekend?" he asked, waiting for the other person on the line. "Okay, I don't want any mistakes," he said, his voice firm and serious, before hanging up the phone.

During the weekend, King Luke ordered the cook to prepare something special for a guest, and they obeyed. Everyone was confused about what was going on, except for Alex.
"Your Majesty, what special guest are we expecting?" Queen Lala asked as they sat around the table with a mouthwatering meal lavishly spread out.
"Just be patient," King Luke said,
"Is Alex included here? Why isn't he here?" Diva asked, curiously.
"He went to pick up the guest," King Luke replied.
Diva and Elora exchanged a curious glance.
Not too long after, Alex drove into the compound with Naomi, who was dressed gorgeously. They stepped out of the car, holding hands, and walked towards the dining room. All eyes turned to them, surprised by the king's warm smile.
"Finally, you guys are here," King Luke said.
"Is she the special guest we're expecting?" Queen Lala asked, her tone laced with skepticism. King Luke nodded.
"Yes, she's my son's fiancée, and that makes her a special guest. I made these arrangements for her," he explained. Queen Lala's face turned cold.
"If you're not okay with it, you can excuse yourself," King Luke said, his voice firm but polite. He then turned to Alex and Naomi. "Come on, you two are just in time." Alex drew out a chair for Naomi to sit before sitting down next to her.
"Good evening, Your Majesty," Naomi greeted politely, also greeting the queen, who ignored her.
"You're welcome, my child," King Luke said, smiling. "I'm happy you honored my invitation."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Naomi replied.
"Let's eat," King Luke said, and the food was dished out onto each plate by one of the cooks.
Alex and Naomi shared a lovely smile as they began eating. Diva and Elora kept calm faces, while Queen Lala's cold demeanor was palpable. However, Naomi seemed oblivious to the queen's frostiness, her focus on Alex and her peaceful demeanor unwavering.
Meanwhile, Nathan led Mia to the surprise location, her eyes tied with a blindfold. As they walked, the sound of waves crashing against the shore grew louder, and the salty sea air filled their lungs.
When Nathan finally removed the blindfold, Mia's eyes widened in amazement. The beach was transformed into a romantic paradise. Red rose petals covered the sand, leading to a beautifully decorated archway.
The sky was painted with hues of pink and orange as the sun set behind the horizon. Soft violin music floated through the air, adding to the magical ambiance.
The decorations were a perfect blend of elegance and romance, creating an intimate atmosphere that made Mia feel like she was in a dream.
The red rose petals symbolized love and passion, while the violin's melancholic melody added a touch of sentimentality to the moment.
As Mia took in the breathtaking view, Nathan got down on one knee, pulled out a small box, and opened it, revealing a stunning diamond ring.
"Mia, from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one for me," Nathan said, his voice filled with emotion. "Will you marry me?"
Mia's eyes widened in shock and delight as Nathan pulled out the ring box. But before she could respond, her eyes slowly closed, and she passed out in Nathan's arms.
Nathan was caught off guard, and panic set in as he tried to wake her up.
"Mia! Mia!" he called out, holding her close. He scooped her up in his arms. "Who passed out in the moment of proposing?" He couldn't help but chuckle at the unexpected turn of events and carried her into the beach house, gently laying her down on the bed.
Nathan quickly grabbed a bottle of water from the shelf and sprinkled some on her face, trying to revive her. Mia murmured, regaining consciousness, and he was relief , As she slowly opened her eyes, Nathan's face lit up with joy.
"Mia," he whispered, caressing her face.
"Where am I?" She asked, still confused, trying to recall what had happened.
"You scared me, are you okay?"
Mia's eyes fluttered, and she managed to sit up, her face still pale.
"I just had a shocking dream that you proposed to me," she said.
"It wasn't a dream, I did ask you, but you passed out,"
Mia's eyes snapped open, and she stared at Nathan in surprise.
"It was real?" she asked, her voice trembling. He nodded, holding out the ring. "Oh my," Mia breathed, her eyes fixed on the sparkling diamond.
"Please Mia, marry me," Nathan said, his voice filled with emotion. "Will you?" he asked, pointing the ring at her.
"Please tell me this is real," she begged, her voice cracking.
"Yes, it's real, take this ring and make me the happiest man on earth," he said, his eyes shining with love.
Mia's face lit up with joy, and she rushed into Nathan's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Yes, yes, for a million times, yes, I'll marry you," she exclaimed.
Nathan held her tight, his heart overflowing with happiness. Slowly, they pulled away from each other, and he slipped the ring onto Mia's finger. It fit perfectly, and Mia gazed at it in wonder, tears still streaming down her face.
"I love you, Mia," Nathan whispered.
"I love you too," she replied. They leaned closer, and their lips collided softly in a tender kiss.
