Chapter Sixty-Two
Malachi's POV
"Will you marry me, Alicia?"
I asked, one knee falling to the ground.
I watched her expression closely. Shock. Then the corners of her lips rose with a warm smile. "Malachi…"
"Marry me, Alicia."
I said again.
"Marry me and let me show you what it's like to be truly loved. Forget the blackwoods. We'll go far away from here. Anywhere of your choosing. You can bring Sophie along. We'll start a family…"
"Stop, Malachi."
She laughed. "Calm down."
But I couldn't. Not when the woman I loved so much was right in front of me. I took a deep breath.
"Will you marry me, Alicia fonnel?"
Her lips moved.
But something was wrong. I heard knocking. My vision began to fade. I closed my eyes.
Finally, After what felt like forever, the knocking stopped. I opened my eyes. But I wasn't with Alicia anymore. I was in bed.
"Fuck."
I sighed. Was it just a dream?
The knocking continued. I felt an urge to kill whoever woke me up just now.
