Chapter 260 - Winner to rule everyone's life...

Before Henry could continue further with his blabbering, a pair of soft lips smashed on his lips to shut his mouth off...

Henry was shocked at first with Lucinda's sudden kiss but when he felt the soft lips of hers nibbling his own lips trying to enter his mouth to get access of his tongue, he instantly reciprocated and kissed her back with same passion..

When both of them were out of breath after a long heartwarming and satisfying kiss, they finally pulled back from each other...

Still breathing heavily, Lucinda looked at his eyes and muttered, "Yes.."

"Huh?" Henry asked being puzzled as he couldn't still come out of the essence of their strong steamy kiss.

Lucinda slapped him heard on his head and when he made a pout, she pecked him on the lips and said, "Stupid!! Yes means that I'm ready to marry you."

Henry sat there for few minutes totally confused and when he finally understood what Lucinda had expressed, his face immediately lit up in an extending smile as he stood up from the floor in a tornado speed and hold Lucinda's waist tightly in his firm grip...

Encircling her in his arms, he twirled her around lifting her up in the air, making her laugh like crazy.

"I'm so happy...so so happy that I can't even describe Lucy.." Henry said finally putting her down.

Lucinda laughed at him and said, "I'm also very much happy Henry."

"So are you ready to inform our parents about the good news?" Henry asked while smiling.

Grinning widely, Lucinda nodded her head and said, "Let's go.."

The couple stepped down to the living room as all the eyes glued on them with expectancy whereas Neil's eyes only caught the scene of their hands being intertwined together...

He smirked as he already became aware about their answer and sat there patiently waiting for them to reveal their decision.

"So have you guys decided ?" Mr. Johnson asked, already losing his patience..

Both Lucinda and Henry looked at each other grinning ear to ear as they confessed together, "It's a 'YES' for both of us.."

As soon as the parents heard this, they jumped in joy as they all came one after another to hug and congratulate the couple.

"So let's decide a date for their engagement." Mr. Wilson said happily.

"No Dad. Not now." Lucinda said.

"Why not? You already agreed with it." Mrs. Wilson asked.

"Mom.. Dad.. Actually we want to tell our friends about this happy news first. Then you can decide whichever day you want." Henry announced.

The parents understood that how much close those fellows were so they agreed with a beautiful smile on their faces.

Neil walked towards the couple and hugged them tightly together before saying, "Congratulations to both of you."

The couple also smiled and hugged him back with a "Thank You".

Love-Paradise…

Reuben came back to the room from the balcony with a wide grin on his face.

Veronica looked at him with her raised eyebrows, "So Henry too called you like Lucy had called me?"

Reuben chuckled and said, "Yup... He was confused at first but I'm sure that he is going to accept the engagement proposal."

Beaming at the news, Veronica said, "Yeah. I also think that Lucy will get agreed with the engagement plan...after all, both of them love each other very much."

Nodding his head, Reuben said, "So we are going to get an engaged couple really soon.."

Veronica smiled brightly and said, "Yup.. The very first engaged couple in our group."

Reuben smiled and kissed her on the forehead but he didn't fail to notice the little sadness covered in her eyes. He very well knew what was roaming in her mind but he didn't console her this time like always.

He just hugged her to sleep and thought in his mind that this little sorrow in her face would immediately vanish away right at the moment, she would get the special surprise from Reuben...

Paradise Hotel…

Regina's room...

Regina was reading a magazine lying on her soft bed when her phone rang.

Seeing the person who had called her, Regina's lips curved up in a sarcastic smile.

Picking up the call, she said, "Hello, Myra.."

Myra rolled her eyes at Regina hearing her sweet faking voice and said in a cold voice, "I have talked with my friends today and they told me it is okay if you come with me. So get ready before 9 am...

We are going to meet Vero and others at 10 at another friend's café. So I'll pick you up at sharp 9:15. If I don't see you at the gate of the hotel after I reach there, then I'll go alone leaving you there."

"Don't worry. I'll get ready before time and wait for you outside." Regina said in a sweet tone.

Myra knew her pretending act so without any reply she just cut the call..

The moment, Myra disconnected the call, Regina laughed out evilly and clutched her stomach in pain for laughing so hard.

She then looked up at the ceiling and muttered to herself, "You don't know Myra that you are taking your friend's love rival with you. I would destroy that Veronica and Reuben's relationship in a click of my finger."

Pausing for a while, imagining about her happy life in future when she would become the young mistress of the Smith Family, Regina chuckled again...

"After I throw out that Veronica from Reuben's life, I'll break your egoistic attitude first Myra and then will show you your true place..

And even if I don't get any chance to be with Reuben, still your brother Alonzo is there for me. In every way, I'll be the winner to rule everyone's life, specially yours. Like I had already ruined your relationship with my brother, I would also not let you live happily ever in your life."

Unbeknownst to the not so naïve Regina, there was waiting big troubles for her in the near future as she was going to face the hungry lioness soon...
