"What did you say?" Alexander had a surprised face after he heard what Sabrina said.

"I said I love you Alex, I – love – you," she repeated.

A smile was suddenly plastered on Alexander's face. He held Sabrina's face and pulled her for a kiss. His lips moved against her fervently, savoring, enjoying the romantic atmosphere they had right now.

Sabrina couldn't contain the swirling need of emotions that had come to settle at the pit of her stomach, she responded to his kiss, letting him claim what's rightfully his.

Satisfied, Alexander pulled away from her and looked at her straight in the eyes, "I love you more Sabrina," he said in a soft, gentle voice, "You don't know how happy you made me," he said as he let their foreheads touch each other.

"Oh right, before I forget, I have something for you," Alexander said as he searched the pockets of his coat, "Here, it's for you," he said as he handed Sabrina a small gift bag.

Sabrina immediately opened it and pulled out the box inside. As she opened the box, her eyes were instantly filled with admiration, "This is beautiful Alexander," she complimented as she appreciated the silver bracelet with a wishbone pendant inside the box.

"Let me help you put it on, give me your wrist," Alexander said as he grabbed a hold of the box. He pulled out the bracelet and carefully locked it on Sabrina's wrist.

"I love it Alexander, thank you," Sabrina said.

"As you can see the pendant of this bracelet is a wishbone. As I give this to you, I'm also giving you one wish. Well you can use it in the future of course and I shall fulfill it," he said.

"Well then if I wished for you to give me all your fortune, will you really give it?" Sabrina joked as she rubbed the bracelet gently with her finger.

"Even if you don't wish for it, I'm more than willing to give them all to you baby," Alexander smiled as he answered her, "All that I own also belongs to you now," he said.

"You speak as if I'm already your wife Mr. Grande," said Sabrina as she chuckled.

"You're my future wife, so I think it counts as the word 'wife' is still there," he answered which made Sabrina smile.

He once again leaned forward and kissed Sabrina on the lips. Alexander felt really grateful for having someone like her in his life. She gave him a new direction. A new path to take while holding her hand and never letting it go. He wasn't a lonely man anymore.

It made his heart feel warm just by thinking about it.

The next day.

Crook Empire de Parfum.

"Goodmorning Mr. Lockwood, please have a seat," Daniel greeted as soon as Jacob and his lawyer entered his office, "Please have some refreshments first as my secretary prepares the contract," he said as he placed a tray in in front of Jacob.

"It's really a pleasure signing this partnership with you CEO Daniel. I've really been wanting to venture in the perfume industry since a long time ago, I'm glad that Empire de Parfum is willing to have this partnership with my company,"

"The honor is ours CEO Lockwood as you'll be the one who's going to open the Asian market for me. After all, Asia is a big continent and my company will surely profit big time," Daniel answered.

Soon, the contracts were delivered in Daniel's office and both parties started to read it thoroughly.

"If you have any other requests or complaints about the contract, please don't hesitate to speak," Daniel said as he flipped through the pages of the contract.

"I don't think I have any, we can do the signing now," Jacob answered.

"That's great news then!"

Jacob and Daniel then, signed the contracts of each party.

"Looking forward to working with you Mr. Daniel," Jacob stood up as he reached out his hand to Daniel.

Daniel stretched his arm and shook Jacob's hand, "It's my pleasure," he answered.

Inside Alexander's mansion.

Sabrina just woke up from her sleep. She happily stretched her arm out as she had a very good sleep, but as she moved around her bed, she felt something hard on her back.

She immediately turned around to look.

Of course it was Alexander and he was sleeping soundly.

Sabrina can't help it but stare at Alexander. He looked so peaceful. This man looked really vulnerable when asleep. It was a beautiful sight.

"How cute," she said as she admired his face.

Sabrina reached out for her phone and took pictures of Alexander. She wanted to document this moment with him. She turned on the front camera and took selfies with Alexander.

Enjoying her little photo-shoot, Sabrina suddenly felt someone kiss her on the cheek.

"I hope you got that on camera," she heard Alexander's hoarse voice.

Sabrina's face immediately heated up.

She was caught!

"You're a-awake…" she said as she turned around and looked at Alexander embarrassingly.

"Yeah, you're movements woke me up," he answered as he messed up his hair, "I didn't know you admire me that much," he teased.

"I d-don't!" Sabrina defended.

"You've been caught red-handed lady," Alexander smiled at her playfully as he found joy in making fun of her.

Sabrina was suddenly out of words. She was caught guilty. She can't talk her way out of this.

How embarrassing!

"Why are y… you even here? This isn't your room!" she scolded him, trying to change the topic.

Alexander was already about to answer back, but his phone suddenly rang.

"We'll continue this talk later," Alexander said as he excused himself from her. He went straight to the veranda to answer the call.

Sabrina instantly sighed in relief. Whoever that person was, she was deeply thankful for saving her from the speculations of Alexander.

"What is it?" Alexander said as soon as he answered the phone.

"Jacob already signed the papers, what do I do next?" Daniel spoke from the other line.

"Just let him be for now, I'll tell you when to move," Alexander answered.

"Okay, but one question Couz. What is Sabrina's relationship to that man? I'm really curious why you're so determined to destroy him," Daniel asked.

"He's the ex."

As soon as Daniel heard Alexander's answer, he burst out laughing which made Alexander pull the phone away from his ear due to the loudness of Daniel's laugh.

"Oh gosh, I didn't know you were that petty Alex. Seriously? Getting back on an ex-boyfriend? Don't tell me you feel threatened by him," Daniel said as he laughed his lungs out like he heard some hilarious joke.

"Do you want to go next after him?" Alexander spoke in a serious tone which made Daniel instantly stop laughing.

"Okay chill haha! I was just making fun of you. Anyways grandpa heard that you're currently in LA, he's been bothering me to drag you home this weekend. Please, just for once Alex, come home. I can't take grandpa's threats anymore!" Daniel pleaded then pretended to cry, trying to gain sympathy from Alexander.

"I'll think about it," Alexander answered then ended the call immediately.

He walked back to the room and saw Sabrina seating on the bed, scrolling through her cell phone.

"Done with your call?" Sabrina asked as soon as she saw him.

"Mhmm," Alexander nodded. He jumped back to bed and hugged Sabrina from the back.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Just updating my instagram account," Sabrina answered as she picked a filter.

Earlier, when Alexander went to answer his call, Sabrina thought of taking pictures of the bracelet Alexander had given her yesterday. She wanted to show it off, although she can't say that it was from her boyfriend.

'What should I wish for?'

Sabrina captioned the photo and posted it.

Just minutes later, her post was already bombarded with envious comments from her fans.

'Absolutely pretty! Where did you buy this Goddess Sabrina?'

'Oh I saw this design from Sieraden! It was their latest design called 'Un Voeu'. Sieraden only releases one product for each design so you won't have similar bracelets with others.'

'Does Sabrina have a boyfriend now?'

"When do you plan to publicize our relationship?" Alexander asked out of the blue, "I already want to tell the world that you're mine," he said.

Sabrina suddenly fell into a deep thought. It was an important topic that they have never talked about yet, good thing he brought it up.

"When we're ready I guess?" Sabrina answered him with uncertainty as she, herself, also didn't know when.

Announcing their relationship needs timing as both of them were known personalities. Publicizing it needs preparation. In this relationship that they have, Sabrina had the lower hand as she was a celebrity.

Alexander was a big name across the business world. His future partner will surely be monitored by a lot of eyes and speculations from them can't be helped.

"I'll let you decide for it then," Alexander said as he buried his face on Sabrina's neck.

He didn't want to rush her. Alexander understood the risks of making their relationship known to the public and Sabrina being a celebrity, he knew that it would greatly affect her if it wasn't thought thoroughly.

"By the way, please send me our photos from earlier. I want to make it my wallpaper," Alexander said.

Sabrina's face heated up once again. This topic was already finished ugh!

I'm shipping my characters now. #SabLex y'all!
