Seeking help

"What is going on?" Maverick asked passively.

"Mav–"

"Brother, she's my woman now." Rex smiled with squinted eyes. Maverick could feel the happiness he was radiating. 

"Rex!" Celestine balled her fist as she waited to hear what Maverick would say. 

"What? He's still going to find out, after all, you're my fiance now… we got engaged, didn't we?" 

Celestine almost cried in shame. Rex had always been a blabbermouth, but this time, he was obviously doing it to force her into having no other choice than to accept him.

Maverick's eyes trailed down to Celestine's finger and he saw the sparkling diamond ring smiling at him. 

The ring is big and beautiful, it calls people's attention and announces to them that Celestine was taken. 

Celestine slowly hid the hand behind her and waited with a drumming heart for Maverick's verdict.
