“I hate her daddy!” shouted Amy throwing water glass on the wall. “How can she take him away from me?”

“Calm down babe. Even if she is rich now. She is always poor because she was born poor,” said Sarah patting her daughter’s back.

“No, mummy. Ray is mine. He loves me not her. I am going to make her pay. Help me daddy,” she said staring at her father.

“Alright I will help you. Come here my princess. I won’t let that poor girl take my son-in law. She doesn’t deserve him,” said the Mayor.

After a week there had been headlines that the second son was dating the most beautiful girl in the country. Miss World they said. It was all over social media, newspapers, magazines and television. They tried keeping it a secret but it was too late. Everytime they were seen together people would ask to take pictures with them. At work people called Diana their quuen. They respected her more than before. With a good heart everyone adored Diana.

Diana had to accept Ray’s propose of being his girlfriend. She did not care about Amy. She was willing to fight if it meant war. At weekends they used their time to visit the orphanage with Ray. And those places that had people with no shelter, food or blankets. They donated to those places. The President, himself liked how Diana handled things.

“If you become President one day. People will love you. You have a very good heart. An angel sent from heaven,” said the President when Diana had been invited to dinner.
Raphael was happy for her. He knew how much Diana had suffered in her life and she deserves to be happy. He and his wife supported her.

MONTHS passed and their love grew stronger. It was Diana’s birthday and everyone had been invited at the mansion. The body guards stood outside the gate searching every person that entered inside the gate. Some were outside the house.
“Why is it there is so much security?” asked Amy

“I don’t know but we can go in,” said Sarah looking through the window as they parked their car.

“I want her dead today! Not tomorrow but today. Not breathing dead!” shouted Amy.
“Calm down, princess. We are here for you,” said the Mayor.

They got out of the car and headed to the mansion. They were let inside.

“There she is. S--t!” said Amy and clicked her tongue

He was dressed in a dark as they walked hand in hand. Everyone clapped their hands seeing the best couple in the country. When he looked his gaze met hers her breath caught in her throat. It wasn’t that a man can be so sexy. The cloth of his suit had been cut with precision, emphasising his broad shoulders and strong thighs to perfection.

She swallowed hard desperate to calm her racing heartbeat.
“Babe so many people,” she whispered.
“Welcome to my world,” he smiled. “You look beautiful,” he said his deep voice.
“Thank you!”

The whole meal was, each course was divine. Amy couldn’t get her off them. She hated her so much.
“Diana!”

Her attention swung back to Ray when she heard her name on his lips. He got up and took the mic.

“Excuse me!” he said and cleared his throat. “Ahhh so forgive me I am feeling nervous.”

The guest laughed.

“Yes really nervous. So hmm today is my lady’s birthday. I haven’t given her, her present. The lady you see, the one sitting beside my mum, your First lady is my lady. Ohhh I said that before,” he said sending laughter in the room. “Okay okay.”

He walked to where she sat and took her hand. She stood up.

“My lady for me. For the first time I set my eyes on you. I knew you were mine. I have never met someon like you before in my life,” he paused.

Amy clenched his fists and glared at Diana.
“I love you my lady. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

He knelt down. He reached for the box and opened it. He pulled out a glittering diamond ring.

“Will you marry me?”
“Yes!” her whole body quivered, but she couldn’t lower her gaze. “Yes, I will marry you,” she repeated with tears of joy.

As he slid it into her fingers get the lights made it sparkle, bringing it to life. He lifted her hand to his lips, his gaze holding hers captive and kissed her fingers. Applause erupted around them, making her jump. She had forgot that they were being watched neither had Ray. Even he looked taken aback. She laughed, unable to help herself and the tension of the moment slipped away as the other guests returned their attention to their meals. Everyone congratulated them. Diana could not stop smiling.
The President made a speech.
“Let’s go,” he said.
“Where?” she asked.
“Another surprise!”

They sneaked out of the house and got in the car. He drove off to his house. As he got out of the car. He opened the car door for her. They got inside the house. The house was set well with candles and roses spread on the couch. He played John Legend–All of me.
“Shall we?”
“Yes!”

They started dancing. She looked up as him, then couldn’t help herself as she reached up and kissed his lips.

While they were busy making out, Amy was watching everything by the window .
