Chapter 45: Epilogue
Emma
The happiness. The joy. The sensation.
It's all pure and unexpected, something so rare.
''Can I open my eyes now?'' I ask, trying to peek through his fingers as he keeps my eyes closed; not
wanting me to look at the surprise he has for me. Then again, I can guess that it is something pretty
special, due to the smell of candles. Must I add that it's my favourite scented candles?
''Wait, watch your step,'' One of his hand goes down to my waist, slowly stopping me. My lips curve up
into a smile, waiting for him to show me, I want to be fully surprised so I'm not complaining about the
fact that it's taking forever for him to let me open my eyes.
''You can open your eyes,'' He whispers, slowly.My eyes widen as soon as I open them, surprised.
''For you,'' He adds, as I keep on eyeing the room
''For you,'' He adds, as I keep on eyeing the room.
The apartment is decorated nicely, beautifully. It shows the appropriate amount of casualness and even
luxury. My lips continue to curve up into a smile as I am insanely happy by the fact that he had gotten
us a new home.Where we could escape from our duties, our title.
I turn to look at Emery, seeing that he is currently eyeing me too; showing how he's sincere and happy
about this. There's so much more that he has done for us, for me that I can never be more than
thankful, he's an angel.
From giving us a chance to this, love.
''You don't like it?'' He asks, crossing his arms before making his way towards me; pulling me by closer
by the waist but we're kind of out of reach due to the growing baby bump, making both of us chuckle.
''I love it,'' I look straight into his eyes, smiling widely.
Emery caresses the side of my face before leaning in to kiss me by the lips, both of his hands are
cupping onto my face, letting me kiss him back with the same rhythm. He, then, tucks a strand of hair
behind my ear, slowly.All of a sudden, I feel our baby kicking which causes me to immediately place his
hand on the baby bump. My eyes are staring into his with hope, wanting him to feel it too. I've felt the
baby kicking for quite some time but due to the fact that he has been away, outstation and mostly busy
with his duties, including the company, this is the first for him.
His eyebrows furrow in confusion but his expression soon softens as soon as he feels the baby kicking Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
again. To my surprise, I find his eyes tearing up in which I soon follow. He keeps on placing his hand on
my stomach before placing both of his hands, happiness showing.
''That's our baby girl,'' I whisper, stating the gender.
His eyes widen once more, this time, he seems utterly and very surprised, not really believing. He looks
down at my stomach again, ''We're having a girl?'' He asks, blinking away the fallen tears, making me
nod and chuckle.
''Happy birthday, love.'' I pull him closer, pecking onto his cheek which causes him to wrap his arms
around my body, his eyes staring deeply into mine with full of hope and love. It shows clearly, not even
hiding it away from me.
We've gone through quite a lot, the challenges of being a married couple, the circumstances. Yes,
we've only been married for two years but we've gone through more.
''I love you,'' He breathes out, making me close my eyes.
Evelyn had gotten married last year, the wedding was held cheerfully with her friends coming over,
including his which made the ceremony filled with laughters. It was a simple yet elegant wedding,
nothing too fancy yet it sticked to tradition. The wedding vows were long, just like Emery and mine.
They didn't bother complaining either.
Now, they're still on their honeymoon! Their fifth honeymoon, must I add; they want to travel the world
together because before this, she has been travelling alone so with Andrea around, they will
experience it together.
As for Hannah, she was sentenced to death; as told. She had gotten the chance to spend a full month
with her son. Daniel spent the time with her too, knowing that it's their son, even though through
complicated situations.
She apologised, in which Emery and I both accepted.
Now, Daniel and their son, Danish are living in Melbourne. He's taking care of him all by himself and
from all the pictures he had posted on Instagram, showed how he has found his soulmate, a beautiful
Arabian woman.
The three of them are happy, as shown online.
Everyone seemed to have gotten their happy ending.
Cole, he accepted it all. He didn't blame anyone. He's still furthering his studies, wanting to get
something out of his mind so that he wouldn't be spending time thinking about his sister, no matter how
much he misses her.
''I'm sorry I couldn't get you a birthday present,'' I mutter, frowning as he shakes his head,
understanding. Mother had forbidden me from leaving the palace unless I'm out with Emery, she has
been worried ever since she found out about the pregnancy and up till now.
''This is the best birthday present, sweetheart.'' He smiles.
''You and our baby, will always be the best that I've ever had. You don't need to give me anything
because you two, am and will be my first priority,'' He plays with my hair, ''Believe me when I say this,
Emma. I've never been this happy in my life, no matter how free or fun my life was before you, I don't
want to repeat those moments,''
''Because you've had enough of it?'' I joke.
He chuckles, ''No. It's because I want to live in this moment where you are always there for me as I am
always there for you; I'm sorry if I'm not capable of giving you so much more but I promise you, I will
try,'' He breathes.
''You've given me everything you can, Emery. There's nothing left for me to want because I only want
you,'' I tell him the truth, stating the fact. Yes, we may not be as free as we used to be before we met
each other but I can assure him that I'm more happier and more alive.
''I will always love you,'' He kisses me by the neck.
Our love may have based on marriage but it will always feel and be genuine. No matter how much we
try to keep falling and struggling with the problems we face, we will always have each other; that's a
promise we both made.
Emery, I will never think of losing him because I can't.
And, I want to spend my life with him. Forever
