The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 156

I have many plans for us. I want this trip to be memorable for her and me too, but she is my priority. I know that she was very excited about this trip when we first planned it, then the accident happened and everything went downhill. When we started discussing going again in Summer, she was hesitant despite wanting to go. She even suggested going in winter to avoid repeating a pattern that might have turned into a bad omen: Somehow, she connected the trip to something negative. That's why I suggested adding France and Spain to the list.

I know that Paris is known for being the city of love, but I know my girl has always been in love with Italy, so my big surprise for her is going to take place in Italy. Sometimes, I wonder if maybe I'm taking things too fast, but at the same time, I feel that we know each other well enough and our love is strong, so why should I wait?

Milan is where we're staying, but today, I'm taking her to a place that is around an hour and a half away from Milan.

"Do 1 look good?" my gorgeous girl asks me as she twirls, showing me her beautiful light pink dress. I didn't tell her to wear pink, but I'm glad that she is. Knowing her, she'd want to wear her favorite colour because she loves associating it with all her favorite memories. I'm hoping that today turns out to be one of her favorite memories, because if not, I will be utterly devastated.

"More like perfect," I say, grinning. I close the space between us in just two strides and give her a peck on her lips.

"You still don't want to tell me where you're taking me?" she wonders, placing her manicured fingers on my chest.

"Honestly, no." I smirk and she throws her head back in exasperation. "It's gonna be worth it, you impatient girl." Thope my tone is as promising as I intend.

"Luckily, I trust you." Her smile makes my legs go weak. It is captivating in every single way. It brightens her face and brings joy and warmth to my heart. I don't think I could ever get tired of admiring the beauty of her smile.

"You're not going to regret that." My tone may be confident, but I'm not confident. My heart is racing and I'm not sure whether she can feel it or not. While one of her hands is still on my chest, I'm holding the other one in mine.

My nervousness isn't at a low level, but I won't let it hold me back. I'm determined to take this step and if her rejection hits me in the face, I'm going to handle it.

We both leave the hotel suite and head downstairs to the lobby. A fancy car is already waiting for us in front of the hotel, bur she doesn't know that. When we step outside the hotel, I stop her.
