Big news woke up Arti Country, animals in Safari Park escaped! A man was killed during the commotion, and the city governor alerts the citizens for possible sightings. The residents near the area were scared and some panicked because they might pop near their homes anytime.

Well, that's the impression they want to show to hide the truth. It's so embarrassing to admit that they got robbed! The surveillance cameras were blank and there were no traces of escape. According to the investigation, they vanished without a trace.

The bloody scene is also a mystery because the mutilated body near the bed, and paw prints seen behind the door made no sense. It's clearly the wounded tiger's prints, but from the bloody cage to the room, there's no sign of it escaping and not even forced entry. The door was locked from the inside. The only lead they have is the phone call from another keeper. When he was interrogated, he had no memory of the call. The only thing he remembers was entering the toilet then none after that.

While the city is in an uproar, the culprits are now happily chatting on the plane, minutes away from landing at the airport. It satisfied the ladies to see the vibrant space now full of overjoyed animals. Although they don't understand all of them, their howls feel pleasant. Bella can hear Fluffy's non-stop translation and compliments from his friends.

Most of them are injured or have old age, so drinking the water made their bodies recover. The place is full of food! Of course, they will consume only what they need, just like what Fluffy explained. They were thankful to their queen, so they sought Fluffy for translations.

On the way to the villa, Dean gave Bella a sleep mask and asked her to cover her eyes. She's puzzled at the beginning, but when he said he wants to surprise her with the improved Villa, she complied.

When they entered the villa, she heard Adelle's gasping.

"Bessy, what's wrong?"

"NNNnnnothing!" She's sweating right now from Dean's threatening gaze. She tried to calm down.

"Baby, wait for me, let me guide you to the perfect viewing spot."

"Sure." Bella's excited to see the changes made at the villa. She waited for Dean to open her door. He held her hands and guided her until they stopped. Then he removed the eye cover!

"!!!!!!!" Bella stopped breathing for a moment.

Dean led her to the bridge connecting to the gazebo. And it's overflowing with colorful flowers! It's so beautiful! A piano instrumental starts playing the can be heard all over the villa. She continued walking to the gazebo, but when she saw the gallery….no words could describe it.

Arranged inside are huge framed pictures of her and Dean could be seen supported by painting stands.

The first one, It's inside the dojo where both of them were seated. She was writing in concentration while Dean observed her with a doting smile.

The second one, They're training martial arts where she was almost embraced by him.

The third was when she touched his face in the dining room, while his eyes were closed.

The fourth, it was Diara's engagement party. They were standing in the middle of the crowd and Dean slightly bends his neck that seems to be coaxing her while holding her waist.

The fifth, He was feeding her fruits during the party.

The sixth, they were resting on each other's shoulders inside the limousine with their eyes closed.

The seventh, Bella's unconscious in the hospital, Dean is seated but sleeping on the side holding her hands.

The eight, Dean is sleeping on the bed and Bella is also sleeping on his chest.

The ninth, They're happily chatting on the private jet while holding champagne glasses.

The tenth, Bella's sleeping on Dean's lap while he's typing on his computer.

Eleventh, It's when he's helping her put on her scuba gear.

Twelfth, Dean's plate is full of peeled lobsters and crabs for Bella who's innocently munching her plate of full lobster meat.

Thirteenth, She's wiping the sweat on his forehead, the sun in the horizon made the picture heavenly.

Fourteenth, in the shopping district, She's admiring the parrot while Dean holds numerous shopping bags smiling at her.

At the center of the gallery is their full-body picture wearing the Cherry blossom gown while leaning on Dean's chest. On the sides are her solo pics in the garden, scuba diving, and at random places taken candidly.

She didn't realize she was making funny and stupefied expressions while looking at these photos. They're together for a short time, but a lot has happened. Mixed emotions brewing in her heart, but it's a wonderful feeling. Who took these pictures?! And most important, it puzzled her why Dean made these. When she turned around to look for him, he was kneeling on the floor with a small black box in his hand. At the entrance of the gazebo, his family was giggling and cheering. The employees surrounded the lake, clapping in excitement.

She held her mouth with trembling hands and tears fell on her cheeks. He seemed nervous and sweating.

"Cough, Cough, Ummm. Isabella Chen, Before I met you, my monotonous life seemed fine. But when I met you, I realized there can be more, and I almost missed it. When you're not around, my world seems dull and senseless. Now, being with you is like a breath of fresh air you can't live without.

I'm not a perfect man, but as long as you accept me, I will do everything I can to make you the happiest woman in the world. I worry a lot when you're sad, and it makes me do crazy when you're hurt. I'm afraid of losing you, of not being beside you. I worry a lot about everything related to you. It's making me insane!

And although it's not long when we got together, In my heart, you're the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to be with you, every day, every hour, every minute, every second of our lives. I promise to protect you, cherish, and love you forever.

I'm madly in love with you, my bellissima Bella. Will….Will you marry me?" Dean asked with his cute pleading eyes opening the box at the same time. Inside are two pink rings, one is plain, and another is with a large pink diamond surrounded by little ones!

Bella wailed, " I love you too….YES!" Everybody cheered! Dean's subordinates and the villa's workers were dumbfounded to hear the longest phrase their boss has spoken! They never thought he had this voice that could melt the iciest glaziers. His face showed the brightest smile they never saw before. Their entire lives spent with him seemed like an illusion!

He stood up smiling adoringly and placed the diamond ring on her finger. She placed the other one on his finger. Then they kissed.

She didn't stop crying while kissing him. This kiss felt different as if melting in each other's embrace. Memories of the days together with him flashed in her eyes. Her kiss deepens, realizing that her affection turned to deep love towards him. When Dean felt that her feet were wobbly, he reluctantly stopped. They smiled at each other while he wiped her tears with his hands.

Everybody congratulated them. Adelle's shocked but very much happy for them. This should have been a perfect day for the couple.

"Oh, what's the occasion?" A cracking pitched voice was heard. Standing at the bridge is a young lady wearing a seductive dress with her hands crossed on her chest. Her air of arrogance ruined the mood.

"What are you doing here Olivia?" Uncle Liam's said displeased.

"Aren't we welcome anymore?" A middle-aged woman walked beside her, sneering. Her face has similarities with uncle Liam but her pointy eyes make her look wicked.

"You came without notice, sister-in-law." Deborah said annoyed.

"Dean proposed to his fiancée!" Danika said proudly.

"WHHAATT?" Both unwelcome guests shouted. Then they saw the two lovebirds flirting like nobody's around. Olivia's hands were clenched and her eyes looked at them menacingly. When her mother Olie noticed, she tugged her dress then she turned normal again.

There was an awkward silence so Olie tried to divert the attention and greeted the old couple.

Olivia tries hard to control her emotions but she couldn't believe he's embracing a woman! 'Everyone knows nobody can get close to him, but this s****'s clinging to him!' {ehem, well it's the way around dear.}

"How are you Dean?" Olivia mustered all her strength to greet him coquettishly while ignoring Bella.

Bella sighed inwardly. Dean didn't even look at her! His eyes still fixate on Bella.

"And this?" She looked at Bella from head to foot. Bella's displeased, but she smiles politely.

"I'm Dean's FIANCÉE." Dean kissed her cheeks and was satisfied hearing it.

"Oliva Zhao, his cousin." Bella could see her twitching mouth and had the urge to laugh.

"Olivia, say your greetings to the elders." Olivia walked stomping to her mother. The oldies were displeased, but they couldn't just kick them out....yet.

Dean prepared a small feast in the villa. After lunch, he pulled her to the garden.

"I know you want to get married when your parents are here, so let's do the ceremony then."

"Thank you!" She kissed him longer this time and only stopped when they're out of breath.

"I'll prepare for the engagement party, you don't have to worry about anything. Just tell me if you want something in particular."

"But I really don't want a party. Just us knowing is enough for me."

"NO! I want everybody to know, you're mine!" He looks at her like a predator ready to eat his prey.

"Pfffft! Hahahaha, Okay!" She embraced him again. Dean kissed her hair.

"Why are you here, cousin?" Danika blocked Olivia, who was about to go to the garden.

"I want to get some fresh air."

She sneered. "Don't think about it. He won't fancy you, ever, so give up already!"

"Who are you to tell me what I should do?!"

"It's only her in his eyes, can't you see that?"

"They're not married yet!", 'Stu**d' Danika walked away from her ignorant cousin. She only reminded her because she doesn't want to see another bloodshed.

"You're still as shameless as before." Devan said sternly.

"I…."

Devan is disgusted with this cousin. He still remembers when she deliberately pushed Danika in the lake when they were young. She was jealous of Danika because Dean is kind to her.

When she saw Dean for the first time, she wanted to stick to him like glue. Danika likes to play with Dean, but everybody knows he doesn't like to be touched, so she explains it to Olivia. Ignoring her warning, she still tried to embrace him. Dean shoved her and ended up crying.

Devan was watching them from his bedroom window, so he saw what really happened. The girls were playing near the lake when Dean passed by. Danika waved at him and he nodded. But when it's Olivia's turn, she was ignored.

When there was no one watching them, she told her a rabbit passed by the bushes beside the lake. After leading her to see, she was pushed.

First, the adults believed that it was an accident, but he later told the truth. His parents were angry because she almost drowned, and then her lungs got weaker.

Because she's still young, she wasn't punished heavily. To prevent this from happening again, he also taught her how to swim. Since then, every time they visit, he never leaves his twin. Grandpa Jin also trained her personally, so she slowly recovered until she could also join the Sunday training.

Bella's phone rang while she's still in his embrace. She usually ignores unknown numbers, but her mind is still in the clouds when she pressed the button, together with the speaker.

"Hello?" A man's voice could be heard. Dean's face turned ice cold. Bella's confused but also surprised to hear his ex-fiancé's voice. She's moved on, but his voice is something she's familiar with.

"Aquan? How did you get my number?" She had to ask him to pacify his fiancé's worsening mood. She can feel his grips tightening on her waist. It has to be clear that she had no connection to this bas****.

"I...I just want to know....how are you? Do you have time this weekend?" Bella sighed at this nut-head seeking death. She's so annoyed he ruined this moment, so she shoved the phone to Dean. Dean kissed her lips, smirked, and walked away with the phone.

The mother and daughter wanted to stay, but Uncle Liam refused. He used the inconvenience of the villa's ongoing construction, so he immediately arranged for them to stay at another house.

Olie whispered to her daughter, but Olivia shouted.

"Why can't we stay here and she can?!"
