Asian Mafia King and the Black Beauty

Chapter 71

Just because a person smiles
all the time, it doesn't mean their life
is perfect, that smile is a symbol of hope and strength.

Him-Chan (Kane) POV

Today is the day, I'm very nervous. Today I'm going to ask Imani's father for Imani's hand in marriage, I've been waiting for this day ever since I first laid me eyes on her, the day she bumped into me. Amari has been helping me get on the good side of his father, I wouldn't want to marry Imani without her fathers approval, but he wasn't gonna stop me.

After a couple of hours, of Amari preparing me on what to do and what not to do, once I speak to Imani's father. We were in the gaming room, when Imani walked in, and her hair, wow. I always adored how black woman were capable of changing their hairstyles however they wanted too, one gift which God only gifted them and no one else.

"What's up baby, you need anything", I asked her.
"No, i just came to let you know that I'm a bit tired, so imma head back to the mansion", she replied. Her voice is so melodic when she is tired.
"Ok, I'll drop you off, unless u wanna drive yourself". She loves driving.
"How will you get back?"she asked.
"He can use my car", Amari replied on my behalf.
"Ok, if you say so. Imma drive myself". I walked over to her, grabbed her waist and gave her a peck on the lips before she headed out.
"I love you".
"I love you too, drive safely", I replied and she nodded.

This was good, she wouldn't be in the house when I ask her father for her hand in marriage. I want to surprise her, so her not being in the house is just an advantage. I at least hope one of her parents is on my side, if her dad doesn't approve, I just hope her mother does.

Few minutes later

I walked over to Imani's father's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in", he said. I walked in and shut the door behind me.
"Kane, have a seat, what can I do for you?"
"Mr. Abbas I'd like to talk to you about your daughter."
"What about my daughter". Well here goes nothing.
"I would like to ask you for her hand in marriage, I know me and you may not see eye to eye, but I really love your daughter, I would never let anything bad happen to her, I swear to continue protecting her, until I take my last breath on this planet. Mr. Abbas I'm not saying you should agree but the love I have for your daughter is not going to allow me to sit back and watch her get snatched out of my life. I know very well that this lifestyle is not one you would wish on your daughter, but I knew what I was bringing her into, the day I first met her. I'll fight for her, kill for her and I am willing to die for her as well, so Mr. Abbas, please grant me your permission".

He took his time, this old man. He was making me even more nervous, he sat on his seat staring at me before he finally said...

"I grant you my permission, but let's make one thing clear Kane, my daughter is not your slave or your punching bag, if I find out that you laid a finger on her, i'll slice your throat myself. Don't fuck around with my daughter Kane, I just got her back and I don't want to loose her. Make sure she knows how to defend herself, I don't want her to be dependent on you".
"As you wish Mr. Abbas".
"Whisky?" Well this went well.
"Sure".

We spent most of our time discussing random stuff and how the wedding was going to go, but as always men don't really have a say when it gets to weddings. I told Mr. Abbas that I wanted it to be a surprise, he agreed not to let Imani know, until I put a ring on her finger, but she was going to find out eventually, what do I know about planning weddings.

I said my goodbyes and walked out of the house and into the car which Amari has borrowed me. My drive home was very calm, believe it or not, I was finally going to make Imani my wife. Now how do I propose to her?
