The Billionaires's Temptation (Book 1)

1. Anniversary and breakup

Olivia

"Okay, so we have the reservation at 7 pm, the flowers are ordered, and the menu is set," I said, ticking off each item on the list.

My best friend Jamie nodded in agreement. "Yes and the restaurant has confirmed everything, so we're good to go."

I grinned, feeling excited for the surprise dinner we had planned for my boyfriend, Alex. Our anniversary was coming up, and I had a feeling he was going to propose. Jamie and I had been planning this for weeks, and everything was falling into place.

"Do you think he will suspects anything?" Jamie asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

"I don't think so," I replied. "He's been so busy with work, he hasn't had time to think about anything else."

Jamie nodded. "Good. That means the surprise will be even better."

I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in my chest. This was going to be perfect. A romantic dinner with the man I love and hopefully, a proposal.

"But just in case he doesn't propose, we have a backup plan, right?" Jamie asked, with a mischievous glint in her eye.

I laughed. "Of course. I have a few hints saved on my phone in case he needs a little nudge."

Jamie grinned. "You're such a romantic, Liv. I hope he appreciates all the effort you've put into this."

I smiled, feeling grateful for Jamie's support. She had been my rock throughout my relationship with Alex, always there to listen and give advice.

"Thanks, Jamie. I'm just hoping for a perfect evening."

"And you'll have it," she said firmly. "No matter what happens, we'll make sure it's a night to remember."

I felt a rush of gratitude for my best friend. With her by my side, I knew I could handle anything. And with this surprise dinner, I was hoping to take our relationship to the next level.

After finishing our coffee, Jamie and I decided to go shopping for a new outfit for my surprise dinner. We went to a few stores, trying on dresses and skirts until we finally found the perfect outfit.

"This one looks amazing on you, Liv," Jamie said, admiring the blue dress I was wearing. "And it's so comfortable too."

I twirled around, feeling happy with the choice. "Thanks, Jamie. I couldn't have done this without you."

Next, we headed to a nearby spa to get our hair done. We sat back and relaxed as the stylists worked their magic, chatting about our plans for the evening.

"I'm so excited for you, Liv," Jamie said, as her hair was being styled into loose curls. "I can't wait to see Alex's face when he sees you in that dress."

I blushed, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. "I hope he likes it."

"He will," Jamie said confidently. "And even if he doesn't propose tonight, he's crazy if he doesn't see how amazing you are."

After our spa appointment, we headed back to my apartment to get ready. Jamie helped me with my makeup, and we talked and laughed as we got ready for the evening.

"Okay, you look amazing," Jamie said, as I finished putting on my earrings. "Now, it's time to call Alex and let him know you're ready."

I felt a flutter of nerves as I dialed his number, hoping he was just as excited for our surprise dinner as I was.

"Hey, Alex, it's me," I said, trying to sound calm.

"Hey, Liv. Are you ready?" he asked, his voice warm and loving.
