Angel of Darkness (STOPPED TEMPORARILY)

73

Kai

I woke up to the soft clicking sound of a camera, and when I opened my eyes, I found Angelina sitting on my chest, grinning mischievously and wielding my phone as her camera. She was clearly in a playful mood, and I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"What are you up to, Angel?" I asked, my voice laced with amusement.

She shifted slightly, repositioning herself on top of me, still snapping pictures. "Just capturing the moment," she replied with a wink.

I chuckled, reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "And what moment is that?"

She leaned down, pecking me on the lips before pulling back to look at me with a teasing grin. "The moment where you're still half-asleep and I have all the power."

I arched an eyebrow, playing along. "Is that so?"

She nodded dramatically. "Absolutely. I could make you do anything right now, and you wouldn't even remember it when you wake up properly."

I laughed, my fingers tracing light patterns on her back. "Oh really? And what would you make me do?"

She pretended to ponder for a moment, tapping her chin with my phone. "Well, for starters, you could take me out for a fancy breakfast."

I grinned at her, genuinely entertained by her antics. "Hmm, I like the sound of that."

Her eyes sparkled with mischief. "And maybe even let me have that last gummy bear packet."

I gasped in mock shock. "The last gummy bears? That's pushing it, Angel."

She leaned in closer, her lips dangerously close to mine. "Oh, come on, Kai. Just one little packet. Pretty please?"

I chuckled, unable to resist her charm. "Alright, alright. One packet of gummy bears, but only because you asked so nicely."

She grinned triumphantly, placing a quick kiss on my lips. "Perfect. Now, let me capture this victorious moment."

As she continued snapping pictures, I couldn't help but marvel at the playful and carefree side of her. It was moments like these that made me fall in love with her all over again. But today was going to be even more special. Today, I was going to ask her to marry me.

I needed to make sure she was having a great day before the evening's surprise. So, I decided to go along with her playful demands, treating her to a delightful breakfast and even making sure she had plenty of gummy bears to enjoy.

Little did she know, tonight would be the most unforgettable moment of all.

As the day in Paris unfolded, we explored the city together, with Amora in her stroller enjoying the sights and sounds around her. It was as if the excitement of the city had rubbed off on her, making her more active and curious than usual. Angelina's eyes lit up at every charming street, quaint cafe, and bustling market we passed by, and it was a joy to witness her enthusiasm.

When the evening arrived, we returned to our hotel to get ready for the surprise I had planned. As I watched Angelina get dressed, my heart skipped a beat. She looked absolutely stunning, her beauty taking my breath away as it always did. But tonight was more than just a beautiful evening out; it was the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.

We left the hotel, the anticipation building within me as we made our way to the Eiffel Tower. I held Amora in my arms, feeling her small, warm body against my chest as we approached the iconic landmark. The lights of the tower illuminated the night sky, casting a soft glow around us.

Angelina stood at the edge, her gaze captivated by the breathtaking view of the city below. She started talking about the beauty of Paris, her words painting a picture of wonder and admiration. Unbeknownst to her, behind her back, I got down on one knee, a velvet box in my hand containing a sparkling ring.

As she turned around, her eyes widened in surprise. "Kai..." she gasped, her hand moving to cover her mouth.

I took a deep breath, my heart pounding with nervous excitement. This was it. This was the moment I had been waiting for. "Angelina," I began, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. "From the moment we met, I knew there was something extraordinary about you. You walked into my life with that fiery spirit, and you've challenged me, supported me, and loved me in ways I never thought possible."

I saw tears shimmering in her eyes as she looked at me, her expression a mix of emotions.

"I remember how you punched me on the nose," I continued with a chuckle, earning a surprised and amused smile from her. "You didn't trust me then, and honestly, I didn't blame you. But somewhere along the way, you started trusting me, and we built something real and beautiful."

I paused, letting the weight of my words sink in. "Angelina Sánchez, you are my rock, my partner in crime, and the love of my life. You've given me Amora, and you've given me a family that I cherish more than anything. So, with all my heart, I want to ask you... Will you marry me?"

Her hand slowly moved away from her mouth, her eyes locked onto mine, and the world seemed to hold its breath. The silence felt both eternal and fleeting, until a tear slipped down her cheek, followed by a radiant smile that broke through like the dawn after a long night.

"Yes," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "Yes, Kai Martinéz, I will marry you."

My heart swelled with joy as I stood up, the velvet box now open to reveal the sparkling ring. I slid it onto her finger, and as I held her close, the Eiffel Tower illuminated the night sky around us, celebrating the love that had brought us here.

In that moment, as the city of Paris embraced us in its glow, I knew that this was the beginning of a new journey for us, one filled with love, laughter, and the promise of forever.
