Chapter 5

2 years later Emily is now 18yo.

Victor, David, and Michael met in David’s room, their nerves and anticipation palpable. They hatched a plan to ask Emily to marry them all at once, hoping that the shock and emotion of the moment would overwhelm her and make her realize that she truly belonged with them. Victor had even gone so far as to order three engagement and wedding ring sets online, just in case she said yes.

They spent the next few hours going over every detail of their plan, making sure that nothing was left to chance. They wanted this proposal to be perfect, a testament to their unwavering love for Emily. Finally, the day of their big moment arrived. As they waited for Emily to finish breakfast, they could barely contain their excitement, their hearts racing in their chests.

The moment finally came when Emily walked into the dining room, her long blonde hair flowing over her shoulders like water. She was wearing a soft yellow dress that accentuated her curves and made her eyes seem to glow. Victor, David, and Michael could hardly believe their eyes; she was even more beautiful than they remembered.

“Good morning, boys,” she said with a sweet smile, taking her seat at the table. “What’s so important that you had to meet in here?”

Victor cleared his throat, his heart thundering in his chest. “Well, Emily, we actually wanted to talk to you about something ... something that’s been on our minds for a while now.” He glanced at David and Michael, who nodded in agreement.

“And what might that be?” she asked, her blue eyes sparkling with curiosity.

“Well,” Victor began, “you see, Emily, we all love you very much. More than we ever thought possible.” He glanced at David and Michael, who nodded in agreement. “And we want to spend the rest of our lives with you. We want you to be our wife.”

Emily’s eyes widened in surprise, but there was a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her lips. “Oh,” she breathed. “That’s ... that’s very sweet of you. I’m honored.”

His voice trembled as he opened the box, revealing three rings nestled inside. “These are engagement and wedding rings. We want to spend the rest of our lives together, as husband and wife. We want you to take all of these rings and wear them as a symbol of our love.”

Emily’s heart raced as she took the velvet box from Victor. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the three beautiful rings, shining in the morning light. She glanced up at the three men, her love for them so overwhelming that she could barely speak.

“I-I don’t know what to say,” she stammered, her voice shaking. “You three are the most amazing men I’ve ever known. I love you all so much, and I would be honored to spend the rest of my life with you.” She paused, wiping a tear from her cheek, and then added, “But I have one question.”

Victor, David, and Michael exchanged worried glances. “What is it?” they asked in unison.
