Chapter 52: Epilogue


    I suggest listening to James Arthur certain things when you get to the middle of the chapter.


    Shayan''s POV


    Kel gave my hand a small squeeze and silently begged me with his eyes to hear him out. I nodded as


    he gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I gave him a small smile which he returned and made his way out


    of the room patting Jess on the back.


    There was a moment of awkward silence as he struggled to get his words out. I knew he had been


    trying to get my attention for some days but couldn''t bring himself to talk to me and now that he finally


    mustered the courage to he was speechless.


    "I don''t even know where to start." The tone of regret in his voice didn''t go undetected. "I''m sorry about


    what happened. It''s something I''d regret for the rest of my life. I was blinded by greed, anger and


    jealousy. I wanted what Kel has, I felt inadequate and unloved and it made me do something I didn''t


    even think I was capable of doing. I''m deeply sorry and I understand if you never want to talk to me


    again. I haven''t necessarily been the best brother-inw through my actions. I just hope that you


    presented n your heart to forgive me." He heaved a sigh of relief when he was done and looked down.


    "Everybody makes a mistake Jess, it wasn''t a good thing for you to do. But I''m d you realize your


    wrong and you are willing to make it right. The change is what is important, I just hope you know now


    that you are loved and there''s no reason for you to feel otherwise. Everyone is here for you. I forgive


    you, I''ve realized that holding grudges would only hold me back and keep me in the past and that''s the


    Jess." I finished and he looked up giving me a small smile.


    "Thank you. I feel kind of free now letting it all out. Conveying how I feel. I''ve always kept it in


    pretending everything was fine. Now I know it''s okay to let it out and ask for help. Kel is lucky to have


    you. You''ve always been everything to him. I''m d that you both are back together now. Thanks for


    giving me a second chance, I promise not to ruin it." He promised with a smile.

    It turns out his therapy was working and now he feels better about himself.


    Now as we all sat at the table eating and drinking I realized the importance of family. Your family would


    always have your back no matter what, and in cases where they didn''t, it was difficult on the child. Take


    Kel and Jess for instance. I''m d that Evie got to know about Kel and now everyone is living


    harmoniously with one another. I deeply want to be a good parent to Evie, raise her to be a woman of


    standards who knows the importance of love and family. I want her to grow with love from everyone


    and I''m sure Kel wants that too because he never knew what paternal love felt like. It was in these


    moments I was grateful for my parents. They raised me well. Although we didn''t have enough, we had


    a small, peaceful family. I didn''t exactly like being the only child while growing up so it saddens me that


    Evie would be one too. I''d do anything to have a child and Evie to have a sibling but some things are


    just what they are. At least I had her, my little bundle of joy. She had been the one giving me hope,


    pushing me to strive for better. I love her with all my heart and I''m so thankful to be blessed with her.


    Tess was with her boyfriend ke, the actor. He was away for a while for a movie and now that he was


    back they were making up for a lost time. And Mel, she was making it up to Jess, being there for him


    despite her job. Everyone was in love and happy.


    "A penny for your thoughts mdy?" Kel asked feigning a horrible British ent that got meughing.


    "No milord," I said almost nailing the British ent.


    "You know, I don''t mind you calling me that. It sounds sexy." I giggled, his tone was sexy and the way


    he looked at me was hot as if he was already undressing me. It was already causing multiple reactions


    within me and I badly wanted to straddle him but we were still in the middle of dinner. He smirked


    realizing the lines of thoughts that my brain has been in and I rolled my eyes.


    I engaged with little conversations around me, Evie was sitting at my left while Kel was at my right. She


    seems to have been in a hushed conversation with Tess who was beside her. The two of them acted


    like they were up to something but I guess they were just talking about gowns. Tess has made a


    reputable name for herself, hertest collection being a big hit. Everyone wanted to work with her, even


    Evie was her little apprentice. She''d draw up pictures of a supposed gown ande running to show


    me, she seems to have taken a liking to fashion and Tess was grooming her. I was even wearing a


    gown the both of them had made for me.


    The sound of a spoon hitting a ss was what caught everyone''s attention. Kel was standing holding a


    ss filled with wine, everyone else''s ss was also filled.


    "I want to thank everyone for being here and want to cheer a toast to new beginnings."


    Everyone chorused "to new beginnings" with a smile on their face and there was a secret smile on


    Kel''s face that told me he was up to something. I couldn''t wait to find out.


    "I''d like for everyone to meet in the garden," Kel announced as he made his way in that direction.


    Everyone stood up to follow and my dad came to my side.


    "My little girl is all grown up now. Look at you having a family." My dad teased yfully squeezing my


    cheeks as Iughed.


    "I''m not a little girl anymore dad. Evie''s the little one." I saidughing.


    "But you''d always be my baby. I''m happy that everything worked out for you Shayan." The sincerity in


    his tone and the way he said it made me happy. My dad was at the forefront of telling me that it would


    never work out and Kel and I would never be together. I''m d that he has changed that mindset and


    things between us are okay.


    "I''m happy to Dad." Honestly, I haven''t been happier.


    I walked with my dad to the garden as he made a joke about me wanting to get married to a prince in


    our secret garden with fairies gracing our wedding when I was little and Iughed. I''m sure that was


    Evie''s fantasy now.


    On getting to the garden, there was an array of white roses and at the far end stood Kel with a priest


    shing me his million dors smile as he watched me. I was still trying to wrap my head around what


    was going on when Evie handed me a bouquet of pink roses to match my baby pink red gown.


    "You''re getting married in the garden." She whispered with a happy smile as she went back to sit with


    Tess.


    Realization sunk in, we were getting married. Again. A smile yed on my lips as tears threatened to


    escape, I couldn''t believe this was happening right now. I''ve always wanted a small simple wedding


    and not the grand one we had, just both our families present.


    My father took my hands as he walked me down the aisle. I couldn''t still believe this was happening.


    Kel was full of surprises and the fact that I never even know about it till it happened is shocking too.


    "Take care of my daughter Kelvin."


    "Always Sir." My dad gave him a pat on the back before turning back to sit with my mom and locking


    hands with her.


    I focused my attention on Kel now, his looks still manage to get me hot every single time. His brown


    orbs we''re radiating nothing short of happiness, I''m sure mine was too. We were staring at each other


    silentlymunicating the words I love you. Our stare must have been too long and intense since the


    priest had to clear his throat to get our attention.


    He presented the rings and it was time to say the vows, I haven''t even had the chance to n one.


    "Shayan, my only love. I love you with all my heart, I''ve always loved you and would never stop loving


    you. I know this probably came as a shock to you and you weren''t expecting this at all especially not in


    this setting. I remember the day at the park when you had said you believed in fairies and fairytale


    stories and how you wanted to get married in a garden with just your family and the presence of your


    fairies, nowhere you have it. Your wish has been granted by the fairies. " He chuckled and everyone


    else did. It''s crazy that I still believed in a fairytale up to high school, I know.


    "I know our story hasn''t been anythingpared to a fairytale and I''m not going to promise that it will


    be because life happens but I''m promising to be with you all the rest of my life. To cherish and love you.


    To stand by you. You give me peace that no one else could. You showed me how to love and I won''t


    stop loving you. I''m dedicating the rest of my life to you and our beautiful family. You gave me a


    beautiful gift, our child..." I turned to look at Evie for a moment and she had a big smile on her face,


    enjoying the moment.


    "Thank you for putting up with me and my mood swings, for seeing past my cold demeanour, for letting


    your light take away my darkness. I promise to love you in good times and bad, in sickness and in


    health and when we are old and have no hair on our heads. I love you mi alma" Iughed at thest


    part and wiped away the tears as he ced the ring on my finger.


    It was my turn to say the vows now, I didn''t even know where to start from as memories of us started


    flooding my brain.


    " You never cease to amaze me Kel, it''s like you give me reasons to love you more each day. So much


    has happened within thest few years but we still found our way to each other. I remember the times


    when I tried fighting off the attraction for you but they didn''t seem to budge. You''ve been engraved in


    my heart, body and mind since then. I love every part of you, I like that despite all odds we are here


    now. I promise to be a good and loving wife to you. To love you on your good and bad days, to be there


    for you whenever you need me. Thanks for fulfilling every fantasy of mine, I''m sure the fairies are


    smiling right now. Although you used to act nothing like a charming prince, you''re still my King. Thanks


    for treating me like a queen and her royal highness Evie. I love you with all my heart and don''t think I''d


    ever stop."


    I ced the ring on his finger and he didn''t even wait for the priest to join us officially or tell him to kiss


    the bride before his lips consumed mine in a passionate kiss. I smiled through the kiss and didn''t even


    bother that people were watching as I poured my whole heart and love into the kiss.


    We pulled out but our foreheads were still touching. "I love you Shayan, forever and always."


    It started as an attraction, an attraction we both had tried denying but the force pulling us was greater


    than us. I love him too, always and forever.
