Innocent Love Of A Deadly Gangster

Jessica's eyes popped out of her socket. Her living room was decorated very beautifully. there were rose petals spread through the doorway creating a pathway into the center.

She slowly walked along the path quietly taking in her surroundings. The room was decorated in red and white balloons. The room was dimly lit giving it a mysterious aura. Finally when she reached the center the room's light turned on and in the room was Amy, Ron and in the center stood... Steve.

He had a bouquet of red roses in his hand. He was dressed in a dark blue suit which complimented his good looks. He had a faint smile on his face as he stared at Jessica.

Ron and Amy rushed to her side as they greeted her, "Happy Birthday sis!" "Happy birthday, Jessica!" Jessica looked up at them and then at the clock. It was midnight, the next day had started and yes today was her birthday. She smiled at them and thanked them.

"Do you know sis Jazz this whole thing was decided by brother-in-law. He wanted to give you a surprise. Did you like it?" Ron said as his eyes brimmed with excitement. It had been years since he had celebrated her birthday, that too a surprise.

Hearing his words Jessica was in a state of confusion. he had just had a fight with her in the afternoon and now he was planning a surprise for her. What he did was just an act? Did she get emotional just for a joke? Did he take her and her feelings as a joke?

She was still in her thoughts when his seductive voice rang in her ears, "What happened, Jessica? Did you not like my surprise?" He had a teasing tone as he leaned towards her. She was caught off guard as she looked up when her face almost clashed with his face. Their eyes clashed. She stared in his deep blue ocean-like eyes. She felt she was drowning but she was still upset. He clearly saw that her eyes were deep red indicating she had cried for a long time.

they both came out of their own world by the small chuckles of the siblings beside them. "Do you not want to give the flowers to Jessica?" Amy teased him. Steve smiled at her and said, "firstly let us cut the cake and no need to interfere in my gift for my future wife." He laid more emphasis on the word 'future wife'.

This regained the excitement among them as Steve went to the refrigerator and took out a heart-shaped velvet cake. It was a large cake and 'Happy birthday dear wife' was written on it with chocolate. Jessica was instantly handed over a knife so she could cut the cake. She happily cut it as the people around her sang the birthday song. After a feast on the cake and some snacks, Amy and Ron went back home. They even took some cake with them to get it tasted from their parents.

After giving the siblings a farewell and shutting the door. Jessica turned to Steve who still stood in the center of the room with a silly grin on his face. She ignored him and moved to tidy up the room. Suddenly she was hugged from the behind and she instantly froze. After a few seconds, she tried to struggle free and he let her go.

"Why?" She said as she looked at him with her red eyes. "Why did you fight with me? You know just because of you I cried... I cried for you and for your words. Do you take me for a joke? Is it fun to play with my feelings? I took you for a friend and you blamed me to not treat you well. It hurts, okay... I am a human too and I do have feelings. I am trying to accept you. I want to love you too as you do to me. I know you have accepted me, but it is hard fo me... I think I like you and I am ready but can't wee take mini-steps?"

Her each word was like a sharp knife pricking his heart. His heart was bleeding. Right now he just wanted to kill himself for this foolish idea. He instantly hugged her tight to his c.h.e.s.t as he explained, "I know you are a human. I know you are trying your best to accept me. I am ready to take mini-steps. But please don't cry, baby... Sweetheart, you are the best, I am the one who is foolish. You should have killed me... I am sorry... It was just that I wanted to give you a surprise... I wanted to give you this..."

As he said that He took out a rose from the table and placed it in front of her. It looked like a normal rose but it on closer look it looked like a case. She looked at it and then her confused look landed on him. He smiled and opened the case to reveal a ring inside.

It was a simple rose gold ring with a blue sapphire in the between and small diamonds embedded around it giving it the shape of two beautiful hearts. Jessica looked up at Steve who instantly got on his knee and said-

"Ms. Jessica Han, are you willing to be with me for all the riches and illnesses. Do you want to stay with this short-tempered, ugly, fat and idiot for all your life? Ms. Jessica Han, will you like to marry me and be my legal wife and have the status of Mrs. Smith? Ms. Jessica Han, do you agree to take me as your husband and be my support because I have already accepted you as my wife."
