Chapter 17 - 16- "Will you marry me?"

Amanda went straight to Victoria's apartment after the launch of Horizons-lens.

Victoria, who was more than delighted had prepared the apartment to receive the now global icon.

It turned out to be the best week in Victoria Cole's life after the heavy heartbreak she suffered at Hawaii.

First, she became the youngest female billionaire, then officially started a relationship with Amanda, next got the wonderful news that Amanda is pregnant and lastly will be relocating to Miami to float her new company with Amanda.

Good things definitely do come to those who wait patiently.

Amanda entered the apartment and almost went back. She thought she was in the wrong place.

It was decorated with congratulatory messages, with a perfumed ambiance and scented candles of different colors.

But Victoria came out with a little white and pink cake with the inscription of "Congrats to the new CEO of The Olive Inc."

Amanda was so excited, elated and surprised at all the efforts Victoria had put in to welcome her after the launch of Horizons-lens.

She was also on top of the world; from a relatively unknown lady who luckily got a job at Zenith Tech, to making global headlines with Horizons-lens launch and now CEO of a new multibillion tech company.

She moved closer, kissed Victoria and blew the candle lights off.

The two celebrated and gisted long enough into the night before Amanda fell asleep.

The next morning, she awoke to another surprise staring at her right in front of the bed.

It was a small pink decorated box. She thought it was the keys to their new apartment in Miami, or keys to her brand new sport car as CEO of The Olive company.

But it was all wrong, she didn't guess right.

She opened it and then saw another box inside. Still perplexed as to what this might be- Victoria watched closely from the kitchen without her knowledge.

When she finally opened the last one, she saw a message clearly written.. "Will you marry me, Amy my Love?"

She burst into tears and Victoria came out with an engagement diamond ring that did really cost a fortune.

Victoria got on one knee, placed it on her finger before even popping the question.

"I know it's too early, but you have given me joy and happiness no one has ever bestowed on me" Victoria on bended knees told Amanda.

"I definitely want to spend the rest of my life with you. So am not asking you (to marry me), but affirming that you will marry me"-

They both laughed together as Victoria got up, hugged and kissed her.

"Wowwww, this is stunning and bright" Amanda smiled and thanked her

Victoria then said... "don't rush to give me an answer, take your time, when your head is cooled down and when you are ready, you can answer me. Your reply still won't change anything or the love I have for you"

Oscar gave Amanda some few days off to rest and take care of herself and the baby.

He got their family doctor and the best in San Francisco Bay area to be in charge of Amanda till her delivery.

After three days of rest, Amanda then resumed work and was cheered by her colleagues and was nicknamed the "Princess of Zenith Tech"

She went to the next floor and met with her boss, who also now doubled as the father of her unborn child.

Oscar now treated Amanda like a princess from the British royal family; for the job well done with the Horizons-lens launch and also for keeping his child.

"Wow, you look stunning and you are glowing so much" Oscar said as he stood up to greet Amanda.

"Thanks boss for the opportunity and privilege this great company have given me. It wouldn't have been possible without your help"

Oscar then asked Amanda if he's been following the news and tabloids since the grand launch.

"Of course"- replied Amanda, "especially the Zenith shares price which increased a US record 200%".

"Do you also know that the finance department told me yesterday that the pre order for Horizons-lens glasses globally has reach $1 billion and still counting?" Oscar boasted.

"What about Michael...., are you still dating, is he aware you are pregnant" Oscar eagerly awaits the answer cos that will determine his next line of action.

"We broke up some weeks ago, I caught him cheating with my best friend Sarah Green" Amanda who looked so indifferent replied Oscar.

That was all Oscar needed to hear. His heart gladens at the thought of occupying and having Amanda all to himself, and when better than now that she is carrying his child.

Oscar wants her to continue with Zenith Tech and deliver safely here in California, and not anywhere else.

But he knows that the media outlets will come for Amanda as a gold digger, who got pregnant for the rich young 31 year old billionaire.

And he knows that will definitely broke Amanda's heart who had never asked for a penny since her pregnancy, and who even helped the company achieved that great fest with Horizons-lens last week.

Oscar now told Amanda that he discussed with the board of directors and the legal team of Zenith empire concerning her contributions to the global success and they planned to reward her.

"I won't force anything on you. We will totally understand if you accept or reject it. I just want to hear your opinion after I spill out what we wanna give you for your efforts so that we can retain you as a Zenith staff for a long time cos we know offers will come to you from every where including rival companies" Oscar told Amanda.

"Here are the papers of your 15% shares in Zenith Tech which will elevate you to the board in the shareholders meeting (even if you leave our company later)"....

And wait for it... "You get a 10% and your unborn child 5% from the profit sales of Horizons-lens"- this one is non negotiable.

"And on my part as the father of your child, you will never lack anything in this universe or any unknown multiverse to come. You will get $5m monthly for upkeep and a billion dollar trust fund registered in my son's name that will be in your care till he turns 18"....

"....You can take it home and sign it anytime you feel like you are ready" Oscar concluded.

Amanda was shocked to her bone marrows and sat speechless for two f***ing minutes.

"I don't know what to say, but am super grateful and eternally indebted to you my love" Amanda said as she whipped the tears from her eyes.

Oscar was finally relaxed when he heard those words "My Love" coming directly from none other than Amanda's lips. She didn't know that she just made his day.

Amanda left Oscar's office with all the papers and documents, sat down in her new executive chair.

She dropped the legal documents on her table, touched her now protruding belly and quietly whispered....

"Little John, we are soon going to be billionaires..I mean legally fucking billionaires just with brain work and never begging like gold diggers"
