pad. I scribbled my signature then handed it back to him and reached for the large box.
    “What is it?” I asked the delivery boy.
    “I just deliver them, ma’am.” He shrugged.
    “Thank you.” Dominic closed the door. “What is it?” I smiled. Jax had never really gotten me a gift before, he’d bought me a wedding ring that I was sure cost him a fortune and the red gown for the family dinner, but I was his wife and of course he’d want to claim me, but this was different. My phone dinged with another text.
    Jax: Open the box.
    I giggled.
    Bella: I’m working on it.
    I quickly wondered how he’d known I hadn’t. But I smiled anyway.
    I walked the box to the sofa and sat it atop the table. There was a gold A embossed into the top.
    I carefully opened it lifting at the top seeing a card. My fingers fumbled with lid as excitement overcame me.
     
    Bella the Princess
    The prince took a notable chance on his love for the princess.
    You recently admitted that there was something you would love to see. It would be my privilege to give this to you. Be ready for the experience of your life. It will definitely be the experience of mine.
    P.S. Don’t be late.
    Jax the Prince
     
    My stomach bubbled with excitement. I smiled as I continued through the beautiful paper that sat folded on top of something else. Once I’d removed the paper I spotted a display of tulle. I slipped my hand inside and removed it gazing at the beauty. It was a sleeveless gown, the bodice was embroidered with beading, a satin waistband, and a tulle skirt that flowed to the floor. Underneath the gown was a pair of black pumps with a two-inch heel.
    A few hours ago I was aimlessly wandering around the empty penthouse and now I stood to wear the most beautiful gown I’d ever worn. It wasn’t that the gown was prettier or more expensive than anything I would’ve selected for myself, it was that Jax had given it to me as a surprise.
    I dabbed my lipstick on and popped my lips. The heels fit perfect and the gown… fit like a glove around my curves. My hair was pinned into a bun and a shawl draped over my arms. I reached for my small purse slipping in my driver’s license, a few sticks of gum, a tampon, because you never know , and my lipstick. I dabbed Channel to my neck and wrists. After turning on the opera that Jax had downloaded on my phone, I opened the door to my suite.
    “Bella, Jax is pulling up to the tower.” Dominic hurried me down the stairs.
    “Were is he taking me?” I asked anxiously.
    “If I told you he’d kill me.” He offered a sympathetic grin. “But…” he said while he held my hand to keep me from falling. “I know that you’ll love it.” A wicked smile topped his lips then.
    Butterflies swam flowing around in a dance inside of my stomach. Since the shooting Jax had been different. Oh, he had his moments of being cold and distant, but he was different, even the way he looked at me was different. My father was gone. I’d not seen my friends who were the only family I had left. The staff that I’d grown up with had been told not to contact me. I was lonely and it was nice that he was attempting at making nice with me.
    Dominic held my hand; well actually I kind of gripped his every time we descended in an elevator. I’d told him it came with the job. This elevator was smoother than most, but I didn’t like it all the same.
    Dominic pulled me from the elevator bank to the front doors. We usually came and went through the garage, but tonight we didn’t.
    “Mrs. Moretti, lovely as always,” the young attendant said from behind his desk. I offered a kind heartfelt smile. I felt like a princess.
    The glass doors were opened for me by Mickie who cast his eyes over the area. He was always on high alert. “Mrs. Moretti.” I smiled.
    Jax exited the limousine with Nessun Dorma echoing from inside. God nothing had touched me like this music. I could feel it caress my soul unlike anything ever had. Jax stood tall with one
